I was never into Mase albums...i was a fan when he was on them mixtapes as Murda Mase during the CHILDREN OF THE CORN DAYS

...occasionally that "style" comes back from time to time for him like on that last diss song to Camron

but there is NO DENYING the man got heat.....his lines on N1GGAZ DONE STARTED SOMETHING are "biblical"




this was epic mase as well...probally got one of the best slow flow punchline styles of all time

Were the big daddy kane albums later in his career that bad or was it unfairly hated on for other reasons?

 

[Tom Foolery]

Ice Cube?

it was other reasons...the albums weren't bad at all

its just that his core fanbase such as myself wasn't feeling that R&B smooth swag he was heading in by trying to appeal to the radio friendly female fans ..... the streets wasn't feeling it

once ILL SCRATCH dissed him at his own bday party in Brooklyn which was broadcasted live on the air on 89 tec 9 streatch armstrong show..it was a wrap for him

ILL said..."you think you BARRY WHITE"

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Ice Cube?

i had to think about that one......cause CUBE is definitly a great mcee BUT i feel like personally he ain't shyt without great production

and i feel GREAT MCEES like NAS is an example don't need great beats to SOUND AMAZING ...thier vocals and lyrics hold the weight

but i gotta be honest....i was BIASED when CUBE was in his prime ...i didn't fukk with any west coast shyt unless it was the Pharcyde or Hieroglyphics cause they sounded like the tradiontial east coast sound i gew up on

and its sad cause Cube got some heat..one of my favorite songs of all time is BIRD IN THE HAND

 

[DallasTxRep]

No Violent J???

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

i swear to god...he does that just to piss me the fukk off

ever since i said ICP isn't hip hop

i am so tired of him pulling INSANE CLOWN POSSE outta his azz everytime he appears

I get what you are saying. His filler track are not easy to vibe too. Even I have to admit a Cube album is not a smooth listen from start to finish.

But filtering out his work, put him ahead of most. Lyrically, probably the best Non East Coast rapper.
