Not over till the fat wavy plays the demo

Max B - Over (Intro)
(From Negro Spirituals album; 2021)



Always wanted to say that Max B has album intros which body other Rapper's whole albums and now I can. My man still makes good music, man. A lotta y'all favourites don't!!

Mountains is as close as this Negro Spirituals album comes to a Nu-Wave BBQ Music anthem, which is a pre-Christmas miracle since it's produced by that useless hack Paul Couture.

Miraculously, Paul Couture also didn't manage to mangle the Picture Me Rollin' interpolation on Don't Make Me Cry. Bit weird having Raheem DeVaughn on this shit, tho - Max and a sanger on the same song is like having parsnips and potato wedges on the same plate innit?

  1. I'm all over that Don't Make Me Cry song. Wasn't surprised they didn't include the OG "75 In The Can" but still a bit disappointed.

  7. Adding "Mountains" to my list of "great songs entitled 'Mountains'" alongside the Prince song of the same name. Owww.

  8. There's nobody else in Rap right now who could make a song like that.

  9. It's so happy/summertime-y for a song recorded by a man in prison, too.

    I've stopped paying attention to rap in the year/two years but I feel like most stuff I've heard is pretty serious and humourless. (The trap influence?) The vibe on this is totally different.
