In another interview, Mase was asked to name his Top 5 New York rappers All Time, and he had Pac in there.

Harlem a lil different. Doesnt surprise me...

Dipset LOVES 2pac

Make sense Tupac didn't become infected with Los Angeles until he joined deathrow, yeah he was with digital underground before that but he wasn't repping Oakland or the bay as hard as when he arrived to LA

The corrector said Dipset LOVES 2pac

It fell like rappers that came out Pac n Bigge's post era, were heavy on Pac's sh*t more than Biggie.... just an observation

Another L for New York

What's funny and ironic is

1. Cam hates his early work with Un and says they were trying to make him make Biggie music

2. Dipset (mainly Jim) had issues with Cease/Gutta/Jr Mafia

3. Cam and Charli Baltimore kinda came up together under Un but like...you never see Cam and them work with Kim at all

4. Jay had a lot of issues with them but was Biggie's friend

It's like almost by default they constantly find themselves on the opposite side.

Cam and Mase have both separately said NAS was their favorite rapper.

Label's signing anything, still searching for they Pac
- The Game

I think the labels had a hand in that too, forcing these rappers on that Pac image to sell some records, capitalizing on that man's death.

Pac had became a mainstream artist in 93 when songs like "I get around' and "Keep ya Head up" both charted in the top 12. And "keep ya head up" is one of those ghetto conscious songs that would catch the interest of the average hood cat.

New york cats that didn't like him have successfully created this false narrative that no one was jamming him until he got with death Row. It's bs. Even his most popular song, "Dear Mama" came out before he was with death Row and before he dissed anyone from new york.

One of my best friends is from Harlem, and he definitely is a Pac guy
