***Official Breakfast Club Interview Thread***

[ninjahood]

Of course he was more polished, he was sitting on Puff's lap for two years.

what u mean? Mase got put on Only you da week he was signed

Mase was nice and seasoned from his COC days...

 

[ninjahood]

Nobody ever considered Mase one of the top rappers in the game

you wasn't in NYC at da time...Mase was basically da guy on top before VOL.2 and its Dark dropped.

 

[Magic33]

I was in New York, and Mase was the guy to chicks and kids 15 and younger.

Why do you keep talking about what sold what and radio play?

 

[Hahahaha]

Harlem World and No Way Out are both dope and I go back and forth about them being classics. I think both got too many pop joints though and could be cut shorter.

I'm a HUGE fan of Shyne, Life Story and Child of the Ghetto. I play those probably more than any Bad Boy album other than Life After Death and 112 albums.

Harlem World might have bigger singles and **** but when I judge albums, I'm judging on what albums I play more and what albums I can listen to without a skipping a song.

 

[Magic33]

Fab and Jada said Mase could really spit but guess that's still not enough for some of yall lol

Just cause he made commercial music doesn't mean he couldn't spit when he wanted to. See "N***** Done Started Something" and "Do What Playas Do" from the Violator album.

A lot of dudes can rap, that doesn't mean much. New York was full of people who could spit in the 90's.

Mase was commercially popular that's what made him different. That's why Puff picked him.

Being able to rap and being one of the top are two entirely different things. Mase at no point was ever thought of as one of the top lyricist or rappers.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

I see your point. I can agree with that.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

I was in New York, and Mase was the guy to chicks and kids 15 and younger.

Truth unfortunately .
Ninja : Most people don't think of MASE being Murda Mase like you and I .

 

[Magic33]

Imagine you're an adult listening to this

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Mase wasn't looked at as just the chick rapper lol

Mase was known as a dope rapper and a hit maker.

Dudes never heard these?

 

[ninjahood]

I was in New York, and Mase was the guy to chicks and kids 15 and younger.

clearly you wasn't up on Mase when he was on COC or murdering DJ Clue Tapes or Monday night mixtape.

no one considered him some type of bubble gum rapper... hello DMX was on his album..at da height of his popularity...X wasn't doin features on someone's album he ain't respect.

 

[Magic33]

Whenever I talk to someone about Mase I always know what age range they were when he was out. Because they have a different view of those of us who were a little older.

Pop = corny and wack

That's why The Lox talk about the shiny suit backlash.

 

[Magic33]

Mase wasn't looked at as just the chick rapper lol

Mase was known as a dope rapper and a hit maker.

Dudes never heard these?

Three songs?

Mase was never known as a dope rapper

Nobody ever said you heard that Mase verse...you know how many times I reminded that

I'm from Harlem

Do you know how much I listened to Livestyles Of The Poor? People said L was great. Mase, no.

I even have Destined To Be. That's McGruff.

So don't tell me what I do and don't know.

Mase was a pretty good rapper who was marketable.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

The disrespect

 

[ninjahood]

Mase was never known as a dope rapper

#fakenews

who u think Mase was other than dope?

Mase was taking straight slugs at jigga on R&B records..

 

[addict4sneakers]

Slugs?

Where?

And I love that mase verse

 

[ninjahood]

The disrespect

after Big L it was Ma$e da top dog in Harlem..perrrrrriod.

like what are we talking about?



this dude said memorable Mase verses...

so we just gonna act like those timeless hit records aren't memorable cuz he was too successful?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

"_'s talking real greesy on them R&B records"

Jay caught it but I still don't know where Mase dissed him.

 

[Hahahaha]

I’ve heard so many different stories about where the Mase and Jay beef started, I don’t even know what really happened.

 

[ninjahood]

Slugs?

Where?

And I love that mase verse

ever heard Jay-Z bloviating about Platinum on VOl 1? that's who it was for.



mase basically sonned him talking bout "all we hear is Platinum that, Platinum this, Platinum whips nobody got no Platinum hits" etc. all those bars were aimed at Jay-Z

then Jigga came back at him on Ride or die on Vol
2

[addict4sneakers]

I’ve heard so many different stories about where the Mase and Jay beef started, I don’t even know what really happened.

My guess was always

“Don’t really mess with Dame but still I copped jigga”

 

[addict4sneakers]

I figured that’s where you were going with the slugs, I just don’t count those bars as slugs

 

[ninjahood]

I figured that’s where you were going with the slugs, I just don’t count those bars as slugs

they were as blatant as you can be pre internet era... imagine you marinating with Vol. 1 a whole year.. next thing you hear is Mase on a 112 record mocking da Platinum talk, on a record that was getting stupid spins? there is no ambiguity there.

 

[definition of dopeness]

Check your own videos you'll always be number 2.

I think Mase said it started over a chick he took from Dame, if I remember correctly she was on a skit on Harlem World, and Jay kinda just inherited the beef.

 

[Hahahaha]

Never seen that video. I thought it was Jay’s girl. Sounds like it was Dame’s or maybe someone else in Roc but that’s interesting.

I knew Imaginary Player and Ride or Die were at Mase.

 

[ninjahood]

I knew Imaginary Player

not that one...

Mase used that song to mock Jay-Z after they fell out... remember Jay-Z is on Harlem World...da 112 song came out after Harlem world was quadruple Platinum and they had fallen out.
