mad more cream





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


Comments:
I think Kanye just meant "You would know how mace felt", as in that shit people spray in rapist's faces.
 
I had thought about that, but the lyric sheet in the College Dropout liner notes says "Mase", not "mace".
 
Mase got his jaw smashed by Method Man. Kanye got his jaw smashed in an accident. That is what is meant by "you would know how Mase felt..."
 
You mean Ghostface, not Mef.
