Kanye has said numerous times that Mase was his favorite rapper
damn. mase sounded waaaaaaaay better in those clips than he did in harlem world.


Yep. I hated Mase at the time (still copped Harlem World...how could you not?)...but listening to those songs now? The talent is undeniable. Technically speaking...he was a beast. He just didn't stand out for that back then b/c there were so many rappers in the mainstream and underground who could do that. Plus Big L >>> Mase.Imma say this. There's a lot of revisionist history going on at this board when it comes to Ma$e. Im old enough to remember how Ma$e was considered the anti-christ when he was poppin. I used to listen to college radio and the wake up show every week as a youngin, and without fail DJ's, MC's, and callers would all go off on how light in the ass Ma$e was and how he was everything wrong with hip hop at the time. Especially after that 'Take me there' Rugrats video dropped. The hip hop community wanted to kill his black ass.
This is why I appreciate mainstream artists today, rather than go out of my way to be negative and hate. Better to appreciate a rapper in the moment, than look back with nostalgia colored glasses 10 years later and say 'oh, he wasnt so bad...he was actually dope!".
Father MCBetha made it cool for rappers to hop on R&B tracks + how many rappers jacked his lazy flow
Meh...he was nicer but he always been mediocre.
