Max B vs Jim Jones — The Harlem Beef That Sparked Biggaveli’s Legend

Harlem’s own Max B—aka Biggaveli, the Silver Surfer, Wavy Crockett—was on the brink of superstardom. Now people are anticipating his release in 2025. His melodic, sing-song style was unlike anything hip hop had seen before, paving the way for artists like Drake, French Montana, and even influencing Kanye West. But behind the wave was a story filled with betrayal, bad deals, street politics, and one fateful robbery that changed everything. From writing hits like We Fly High (Ballin’) for Jim Jones, to sparking one of New York’s most unforgettable mixtape runs, Max B’s journey was as wavy as it was turbulent. His charisma on DVD interviews, his countless mixtape classics, and his ability to turn pain into melody made him a legend long before the industry gave him his flowers. Yet, at the height of his rise, Max found himself fighting legal battles, industry snakes, and personal demons. Locked away with a 75-year sentence, his wave should have ended there—but his name refused to fade. From Kanye attempting to name his album “Waves,” to Drake shouting him out, to Jay-Z dropping subliminal bars about him—Max B’s influence stayed alive even behind prison walls. 00:00 Intro – The rise of Harlem’s own Max B and the birth of The Wave 02:30 Max B Beginnings – From Boys Choir of Harlem to Dipset connections 08:19 Jim Jones vs Max B – The fallout over We Fly High and betrayal in ByrdGang 20:00 Max B vs Prodigy, Max B vs Lil Wayne, Max B vs Papoose – Mixtape wars and rap beefs that shook NYC 22:06 Kanye West, Jay Z Shoutout – How hip hop’s biggest names kept Max B’s legacy alive 25:20 Snitch Allegations, Jim Jones Reunion – Prison rumors, sentence reduction, and the road to reconciliation #MaxB #Drake #TheWave #Harlem #JimJones #Dipset #FrenchMontana #KanyeWest #HipHopDocumentary Installment to this YouTube channel: Moxy Approved.
