"I was Murda, P Diddy named me pretty..." Mase Appreciation thread

[Long Live The Kane]

Mase was always lyrically and flow-wise raw to me... no homo. Again another act ruined by that fakkit diddy..

He also tried to turn biggie from this grimey lyricst from brooklyn into a soft Buu lookin nikka that was tryina life the fly lifestyle...

I dotn get it... why does he try to polish these street nikkaz till the point they sell out? Drake would'va been the perfect match for diddy's soft ass... non street related business focused fakkitry

Why the hell you think? To make him and the artist rich ...left to purely his own devices (no Puffy influenced big willie-ism fly n!gga "polishing" and hit records) biggie would've ended up being closer to Keith Murray or at best Redman (fairly highly renowned, sure...but not Biggie stature)...instead of the internationally known GOAT level patheon member unquestioned hip hop icon that he ended up being...

If this thread was made in 97-98, hiphop heads would haunt every poster in this thread and kill them

Was thinking the same thing. Nostalgia is a motherfukk@r.

that's what people don't get Puffy didn't just want a label of rappers he wanted superstars

lol i miss the late 90s seem like more rappers were just having fun instead of being so serious

Not really. At all.
