Right, "I was Murda, P Diddy named me Pretty" -- Mase
Mase most likely said I want to be a 4x platinum rapper touring the world and he gave him that.

Mase has been pretty ever since except the time he tried to come back with g-unit which no one believed :laugh:. He even had the certified softest job in the world during his hiatus.

Kid Wave sound like a water slide at Hurricane Harbor for toddlers.


LOL, it actually sounds like a cartoon character or animinated super hero for a kids. NaS which of course is short of NaSir worked better. Again when you are a new artist you are discovering yourself. As you grow you find youself. Poetical Prophets sounds like they are a lyrical backpacker group. LOL. Also considering the East/West beef it's funny that Biggie's 1st name was "MC QWEST" and Pac name was "MC NEW YORK". LOL.

Gotta give the Mobb respect for staying true to their sound. They never ventured too far from their roots, and you can't say that about a lot of veteran rappers. Good for them.

But I don't think Nas' name had anything to do wit his rap shyt...he had that name in the 80s but it was more a street name I believe...and Pac didn't name himself MC New York...they called him that when he went to Marin City cause he rapped and he was from NY....

for some reason i dont remember ... but i can see puff passing on X
the smart thing about puff is he wants his artist to be extremely lyrical & X (although a dope artist) really dosnt fit that mod


dmx was more lyrical than everybody on bad boy outside of biggie, mase & jada.

no homo but puff likes his artists to be street but not too hard. thats why the lox ended up leaving.
