Why doesn't nobody never put Mase in their top 20 when making rappers list

[Tetris v2.0]

Mase is an entertainer. He made catchy songs and had a rap style that people appreciated. He was able to be street and cool and appeal to women at the same time

Problem is. Every album felt like he was trying on a new outfit. From CoC to Bad Boy to his Jesus-y thing to G-Unit and now he's a sports caster. He goes where the wind blows and doesn't seem to have any creative or artistic sensibilities

If you like the music sure, but he hasn't been a really memorable contributor to this shyt if we're being honest

naa it’s not better. He also made more of an lasting impact on hip hop with his run too

If you say so; pun still gets burn 2 this day.


What was ma$e's "impact" besides fabolous

whatever TF thats worth

Mase top 20? Nah , u gotta breathe stretch shake let it out.
Harlem world was nice but that's where it stops. Wasn't he on that corny rug rats song ?

 

[OG Talk]

Because God gave us ears and a brain.

 

[Tres Leches]

cause there are at least 20 rappers better than him with more longevity

 

[NormanConnors]

I just never understood this notion that he was an all time talent..

Eminem's and Kanye's favorite rapper was Ma$e.

 

[Mac Ten]

Ma$e retiring in 99 and coming back outta retirement as the Black Fred Rogers didnt help…

When he came back in 2004, folks were bumping Fabolous and was no need for Ma$e.

I thought that Welcome Back was a mature album from him.

On the Lean Back remix, he had one of the best verses next Em

Why doesn't nobody put Mase in their top 20 rappers ever

Because he doesn't belong there

 

[ShaDynasty]

Harlem World is a classic, and other verses/songs from that era are dope but he couldn't keep it going.

If he made something now that was well received it would help solidify his legacy, but I don't think he knows what kind of artist to be. Puff drove Harlem World creatively, but it would be great if he found his own lane.

Let’s not get beside ourselves

read all the posts below for a list of legends who he influenced He was the common factor for almost every bad boy hit record and he was the mvp of the bad boy era just as much as big

Ma$e's influence on hip hop is greater than his actual career. He inspired plenty of rappers and plenty used his flow. If you're a millennial he came out in very formative years.

Again his actual career just wasn't long enough. He doesn't have the body of work to be a top rapper.

He's barely top3 from Harlem, why the fukk would anyone rate him anywhere? One decent album and a couple of good features
