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

[Yehuda]

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

Surprised you didn't get bombarded with those Children of the Corn tracks for saying this, there's this narrative that he would've been top 10 if he never went commercial.

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

I thought Eminems favorite rapper was redman? either way who cares

Wouldn't say I've heard them all but I've heard Murda

Pretty much all the people he's influenced have surpassed him

 

[maxamusa]

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.

Influence doesn't really hold water. How many people did Kool G rap "influence" he's never on any list.

It's like you either have to dikk ride the artist or hate them

mase is cool to me

Nikkas in this thread trolling like crazy

Without mase, there wouldn’t be Kanye,drake, curren$y, 50, fab, big Sean, etc

Definitely influential and impactful, if it was based off that alone, he's Top 15-20.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Because he's not in my top 20

Diddy, loon etc
Hell, buddy one of the blueprints

Mase?

 

[Devilinurear]

I'd agree that Mase is top 20 but it's his fault for not expanding his catalog during his peak years. He left way too early and by the time he came back the game passed him. Had he stayed, put out some quality projects, we'd be here seeing him in a different light.

This

 

[Damnshow]

Cause Mase is a fukking clown that's why. Plus he don't have the skills or talent to be in top 20

everybody was clowning on Mase back in 00s. Went from Murda Mase to Pastor Mase to then back to Murda again.....fukk Mase
