In this VladTV interview, Max B revisits his Dipset-era run with Jim Jones, Cam’ron and ByrdGang, offering new context on the long-running debate around “We Fly High (Ballin’).” The Harlem rapper clarifies that he wrote the chorus—not the full record—and says Jim Jones wrote his verses, while also explaining why he no longer wants credit for the hit. Max B reflects on appearing in the California-shot music video, the song reaching No. 5 on Billboard, and how their studio chemistry shaped hundreds of records.

He also looks back on projects like M.O.B., work with Stack Bundles, “Life in the Fast Lane,” “American Gangster,” and his role on Cam’ron’s “You Gotta Love It,” a Jay-Z diss he says he approached from a neutral stance. The conversation highlights Max B’s influence, versatility, and creative impact during a pivotal era in New York hip-hop.
