Mase - “Lookin’ At Me” (Bad Boy, 1998)
Is Mase the most influential rapper of his generation?
Who is the father of his style? And don’t give me that Big L shit either because you damn well know that Lamont never rapped like his mouth was filled with peanut butter and gauze.
Keith Murray? Grand Puba?
Grand Puba is the father of Ma$e Gumbel’s eyebrows and caesar, but I guess Sermon or Biz (same style up to a point) take more blame for the Gumbel mumble (five minutes it lasted).
Honestly I feel like he did innovate being the first rapper to be allowed to cone out sounding like he did not remotely give a fuck if his mouth were open or closed, but I always HATED that shit. I was heartbroken when Kanye weirdly made it cool to like him again.
Rap doesn’t need more lazy stupid rappers!
