I like Mase but he might be another one that’s wildly overrated.

Random but remember Saigon?
I remember he was beefing with Budden and Joe said "couldn't even get a deal on Entourage"

That's a good one, Sai and Papoose
Danger of signing to a bad label, You had Just Blaze production and had appearances on a hot show. Plus the album was actually good.
Papoose got a check and still is relevant almost 20 years later, even though I never really cared for him

The best that that ever happened to Mase's reputation was his unexpected departure from rap. He never had to live up to an expectation. He never let anyone down with bad product on a consistent basis. He's benefitted from that big time.
It's kind of how some talk about 3 Stacks not having a solo album.

You get it. First album was great. Double up had a couple of songs, you can say whatever you want about it but it still came out and wasn’t good. All of his comeback attempts were trash.
Living off a 2 year run and one album if we’re being honest with ourselves

Have you guys ever heard some of the making of Double Up. That process was a mess. Puff had ghostwriters in helping him. Mysonne has talked about it.

Being from the west coast i never got the appeal of dudes like mase and Julez. They was trash to me in that moment in time. Looking back, I can see the talent now, but 99% of all that **** was corny to everyone not white or on the east coast

Facts, Mase had the Bad Boy push and after Bigs death he became next up. His appearances in MO Money MO Problems, Been Around the World and others helped in a major way. Was almost like Snoop coming off The Chronic.

My views on The Love Below are heavily influenced by the utter disappointment I felt at the time listening to it when it dropped. I was not expecting a project with almost zero rapping. Once I got passed that I rocked with Spread, Prototype, She Lives in my Lap, and Vibrate. I wasn't a big fan of Hey Ya and Roses but they are smash singles so add those into the mix. Then maybe there are another 2-3 other 'love it or hate it' type tracks. We talking at best 10 good-great songs out of 21...
I'm not telling anyone to change how they feel about that album or 3K. I'm just saying that was when I learned not to trust dude in the studio by himself

I thought The Love Below was great in high school and it's a classic now. Just played it like a month ago. Dudes wasn't really f'n with it back then, that was the 50/Hov/Lox/Dipset era. _'s wasn't really tryna hear that back then. It was really the music critics that love it. I wasn't surprised the direction 3k went cuz on Stankonia he was like 50/50 rapping and singing.
