In honor of Murder Ma$e's return to the game, and DK's brilliant suggestion that he should make his comeback on a remix of "Jesus Walks", I present to you:

THE KANYE WEST LYRICAL SHRINE TO MA$E

"they told me toughen up, put some bass in your voice, they told me lighten up, put some Ma$e in your voice" - "Get By" remix

"Kanye, the best dressed nigga next to fags, and I'm the best version of Ma$e next to Fab" - Carl Thomas's "The Way That You Do"

"says she like Ma$e but she love Face" - "Out The Game"

"My favorite rapper is Makaveli, Nas and Jay-Z, Eminem, Ma$e, Biggie Smalls and me" - "Bonnie & Clyde" freestyle

"yo, teamsters, do I look scared, teamsters, do I look scared? ...um, that's a quote, Ma$e my favorite rapper, I'm sorry" - quoting Ma$e's "Fuck Me, No Fuck You" on the intro to the Black Album instrumentals mixtape

"if you could feel how my face felt, you would know how Ma$e felt, thank God I ain't too cool for the safebelt" - "Through The Wire"

"I musta had a blessing from Pastor Mason, cuz that trip to L.A. coulda been my last vacation" - I'm Good mixtape intro/"Through The Wire" remix

also, DK pointed out that in the 'chaining day' part of the "Through The Wire" video, Kanye says "I'm the newest member of the Roc-A-Fella team, and I'ma make Dame and Hov mad more cream", which is a flip on a Ma$e lyric, from "Take What's Yours": "I'm the newest member of the Bad Boy team and I'ma bring this nigga Puff mad more cream".

and in Rolling Stone last month, Kanye listed his top 5 favorite MC's as:

5. Biggie
4. Nas
3. Jay-Z
2. Eminem
1. Ma$e
