asher roth machine gun kelly seem very manufactured most of the white rappers

Nicky Minaj?

No other rapper in the history of the game has more interchangeable parts than the Barbie doll....plastic ass, false eye-lashes, fake accent, pounds of make-up..just a complete pop-tart manufactured toward teen-girls who miss playing with dolls.

But 50-Cent is an exec's wet-dream: dark-skinned, orphaned, bare-chested, crack-dealer who got shot multiple times that sing-raps and thrives off rap-beef and negativity....

But if you look at how Iovine used the "8-Mile" movie to shape peoples perception of Emenim as this heroic white-trash figure who slayed the evil ni99ers like Rocky Balboa, then you have to give Interscope credit for brilliant manufacturing.

Dead... Almost spit out my drink on this one H-Rap!

nah, no hate, im a fan of ma$e, and i was actually bumping harlem world (the album not the group) last night when i made that post lol.

i said him though because puffy completely changed him when he signed to bad boy. look back at him when he was with children of the corn and managed by ruff ryders, he was murda ma$e with an aggressive flow and hardcore lyrics. then he signs with puff, tones down the flow, starts writing softer/more pop oriented songs, and stops being murda and starts playing up his pretty boy player image.

ma$e said it himself "i was murda, p diddy made me pretty"

looks to me as if Puff noticed he was playin the image "murdamase" and toned him down to reality with a easy flow and laid back appearance that better suits him for him for who he really is ....

be honest the mase we know today is still the easy going, smiling, funny cat that he was during his bad boy days ....

he wasn't manufactured, he was used to his strengths, which was simply being himself .....

thats true, and i agree that mase is probably more like the happy go lucky "breath stretch shake" kinda guy than the gangster image he was using, but i think that the tough image is what he wanted to do and was more comfortable with. when he was trying to come back with g-unit a few years ago he was trying to come back as murda mase saying that was the real him.

now if puffy would have let mase do a balance of the murda and playa shit like he did with biggie then i wouldnt have said him, but puffy made a conscious decision to only allow mase to be a playa. and it would be different if murda mase was wack and playa mase was the goat, but listen to niggas done started something and been around the world, and you see that he was equally nice at both. so i see what youre saying, but imo the fact that puffy decided to only push the playa image and pretty much make mase sell out is why he was manufactured.

According to Eric Sermon, Diddy told Mase to switch his style up to be more like the green eye bandit...

Plies. He makes a 180 degree turn between his music and his real life.

LOL, forgive me and let me elaborate further:

Listen to Emenims album "Infinite" were he was doing his best A.Z. impersonation and then listen to "SSLP" two years later when he got signed.

He dyed his hair blonde, put on a dress, wrote some comedy-raps and got a co-sign from one of our legendary producers.

The comical, white-trash-values in the first song/video "My Name is" was just a warmup for the second song/video "Role Model" were he played a pedophile-priest and dressed in drag as his mother, then "Guilty Conscious" that gave us cross-dressing, rape, pedophilia and more trailer-parks and not by accident heavy co-signing by Dr Dre...."Just don't give a f*ck" was somewhere in the midst of that, I remember the video because he chokes his mother in it.

So after they laid down their comedy-whiteTrash-rap blue-print with Dre giving the OK; Jimmy Iovine set to legitimize his cash cow by any means necessary so he pulled some strings and got Diddy to put Emenim on the Biggie album on a Biggie song then he did the lead single on Dre's album and after that Jimmy put him on a track with Tupac and a year later he's producing an entire Tupac album.

Jimmy was able to manufacture a modern-day Elvis.
