Honest question. Wasnt No Way Out a Ma$e project anyways?
Didn’t he co-write on life after death? Swear I’ve read/heard that.
Mase says he studied Nas, Red, LL and Meth to develop his style, he used to not listen to Biggie because he was a 2Pac fan

No way out was a collaborative record with puffy as the face. It was mad people who wrote for him on that album.
Jadakiss/Biggie/Mase/Sauce money etc

"BEFORE HE HAD AN ALBUM"
This why you can't just look at chart positions and RIAA certs.
Puff album was bigger for a number of reasons, mainly because more super casuals bought it, but nobody that was actually into hip hop thought he was a better rapper than Mase. Nobody was trying to rap like Puff but many borrowed from Mase even a decade later.

No way out was written by a team of dudes including, biggie, jadakiss, mase, black rob etc.
And no Mase didn’t co-write shyt for LAD unless he was featured on it.

50 Cent did that years ago... The whole mixtape era ending was about using freestyles and other beats so literally every mixtape after that was about OG songs....
But good try

Ok I'm gonna try again... Biggie was DEAD 3 months in... So he wasn't the biggest rapper on the label anymore cause he was dead. So he wasn't really in the contest anymore
Puff wasn't a rapper.. Mase was writing half his shyt and everyone else was writing the other half... Hence Mase being everywhere Puff was, cause he was Puff
So again.. Mase was all they had.. They wasn't getting no new Biggie music after March and Puff wasn't no fukking rapper... Mase was the selling point

Mase not retiring early is one of the big hip hop what ifs
The third biggest rapper on his label cannot be the “hottest rapper of the year”
Biggie was the hottest rapper of 1997.
No Way Out (Puff Daddy album) - Wikipedia
Life After Death - Wikipedia
Harlem World - Wikipedia
So again… if you have the third biggest album on your own label that year, you cannot be the hottest rapper

Ma$e said Pac was his favorite rapper back when he was still active too which is crazy since this wasn't long after Biggie died
