⁣"Don't leave while you're hot that's how Mase screwed up" Kanye West. Mase in the late 90s, early 2000s was definitely hot. He came in with his own style, was on the hottest record label at the time, and went almost 5x platinum with his first album. His second album was weird, because he refused to promote it like expected to and it reflected in low album sales to his standard. In my opinion he was by then having problems with his contract and residuals from his first album's success and wasn't as cooperative with album 2. Either way, his second album still did solid numbers, and then he just left... To become a pastor at that. His career from there was lots of indecisive flip flopping between God and secular music, to which it started to become tiring on fans, who decided to leave him alone all together. What happened from there? What Stunted Mase's Growth?
