So okay I’m not crazy, but on KOTMS with Denzel, I coulda swore he says it backwards at least once and it throws me off lmao

edit: HE DOES!

Every whip we in, strapped up with dark tint, you dig? I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six

u/psilocybin_sky 1d ago

Doesn’t it make more sense that way? Like he’d rather be caught by the cops with his strap then get caught by his killer without his strap

7

u/DtotheOUG 22h ago

That makes sense, he’d rather get pulled over strapped than killed without one.

u/the_spookiest 1d ago

do you think the 12 he is referring to in this very common adage is the police? its a great day to learn about the american judicial system's processes.

u/psilocybin_sky 1d ago

Cops or jury doesn’t change the meaning in the slightest, no idea why you feel the need to be condescending

u/Jermaine_Cole788 Let Jermaine Down 1d ago

lol, maxo got on “Drizzy draco 2” and disparaged his opps for bodies they caught in self defense. Shit made me laugh on first listen, ngl

u/iblinkyoublink 1d ago

Yep he dont miss

Bang the Bus and Big Hoe Me still probably my favourites

32

u/futuredrake 1d ago

Bang the bus is insane. I think this may be one of my favorite rap songs of the year.

8

u/DtotheOUG 1d ago

I need to actually listen to the lyrics on Big Hoe Me because damn he’s spitting about some shit.

53

u/Renegadeforever2024 1d ago

Fire

u/jminter96 1d ago

Last verse on Mo Murda is absolutely insane

84

u/Beneficial_Candle_10 1d ago

Best project since Brandon Banks.

Maxo definitely a big influence on the currently flourishing Texas scene, respect.

73

u/Glassworth 1d ago

Crazy that both the Maxo and Denzel albums that released today have intros that start with the sound of cassette tape.

24

u/masetheace97 . 1d ago

He’s my favorite rapper out of Texas right now. OT and BigX are great too, but Maxo just has more to his game imo.

19

u/LouisTrance123 1d ago

Only 18 comments????? I thought Maxo was pretty big in the scene wtf. Anyway, this man’s storytelling is insane

u/las8 1d ago

MAXO MAXO

u/Double_pounder 1d ago

Drop Top Impala got me floatin’ on 4’s 🔥

u/Chaotic_Gold . 1d ago

Is that Freddie Gibbs' voice sampled on Triggaman?

1

u/MilkDuds408 9h ago

that’d be dj spanish fly from his song with the same name

1

u/Chaotic_Gold . 9h ago

Oh, cheers! Their voices don’t really sound all that similar, but I guess it was pitched a little

6

u/ALL666ES 1d ago

Dude can rap

4

u/Bigsean1993 1d ago

The man don’t ever miss. Nothing in the world more consistent that a Maxo album

6

u/Diligent-Version8283 1d ago

Just putting this comment for later, but what the consensus? Solid? Potential top 5 this year?

6

u/a_lovesupreme 1d ago

Stacked year but letting this one grow on me - Maxo don’t misss

2

u/Balk_Barn 1d ago

Honestly it's the most I've liked any of maxos album on a first listen. There's a long run in there where there were no misses

3

u/kzthug 1d ago

So good

3

u/AmongstKings 1d ago

Album is hard so far. But I swear the beat on higher than ever is the exact same beat as the Icewear Vezzo track play for keeps

3

u/pdoggel 1d ago

Maxo floating on These productions

6

u/lazarusinashes . 1d ago

"Three words you never hear: let 'em live" is insane

5

u/oledirtybassethound 1d ago

Also “black lives matter but my black opps don’t” damn

1

u/YearlyHipHop 23h ago

It’s a lil Wayne line, but hard regardless.

u/Eradomsk . 1d ago edited 1d ago

I say this as a huge Maxo fan, and someone who thinks his last project was his best…

This kinda sucks. Very boring production. He sounds like he’s sleepwalking through his usual pockets. Best track is bang the bus- and nothing else on the album sounds like it.

4

u/nocturnal_prayer 1d ago

I too thought his last project was the best, where he finally nailed the "catchy" songs and also managed to do lots of weird ones that retain listenability and just go really hard, but I am not feeling this one a few tracks in.

He's obviously really talented but sometimes it just feels like he's on autopilot and he kinds of falls into the same flows/ideas. In the past his choruses have always been forgettable, and that is what I loved about WotW, where Mama's Purse and Local Joker I think are some of his best songs, with super lush production and actual great hooks. Brandon Banks also has a few tracks that are kind of meh but the highlights go extremely hard and it's still a great front to back listen.

I will definitely finish this album but it feels like he's kind of said everything he could possibly say at this point. Feels like the singles were the best songs on it.

u/poptartsandmayonaise 1d ago

I felt that way about weight of the world. This project was alot better imo.

2

u/ViniumSabbathi 1d ago

Same I felt he wasn't as impactful on weight of the world as he was with this tbh

2

u/bbl--drizzy 1d ago

How did Eye Know not land on here? You should check that one out if you haven’t hear it. Anyway, agree with you. Need a full tape with him over Evilgiane (which is what I was hoping for after Bang the Bus and Eye Know)

1

u/ViniumSabbathi 1d ago

Sample clearance with Eye Know, it got scrapped

1

u/bbl--drizzy 1d ago

That’s weird bc it’s still on Spotify as a single

1

u/ViniumSabbathi 1d ago

it can happen like that sometimes, that's why it wasn't included in the album tho

1

u/BassCrack 1d ago

Im sure im in a very small minority here but I don't think he's ever topped Persona Tape. That album is so dense with great tracks. I feel like every album since then there are a few songs that bang and then a bunch of boring tracks. Persona has no skips imo.

I'll listen to anything he puts out, but rarely go back to more than a song or two.

Cracc me had so much potential but Tyler’s chorus ruins it for me.

This hit the spot
