Rapper turned pastor Mason "Ma$e" Betha is planning to return to his roots as a rapper.
The Harlem World member, who experienced life changing success as a rapper left the business in 1999 to preach.
Ma$e is in talks to reunite with his former manager Cudda Love, who also founded Fo'Reel Entertainment, the label that houses Platinum rapper Nelly, Murphy Lee, Ali and the St. Lunatics.
"I am grateful for all the blessings bestowed on me that were a result of my music career," Ma$e said when he announced his retirement in 1999. "Now it's time for me to serve God in His way. The Lord sends you messages when He's ready and not necessarily when we are."
While Ma$e may return and end up with Fo'Reel, he is still under contract to Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment.
Fo'Reel is attempting to structure a deal with Bad Boy that will allow Ma$e to record his new untitled album.
If the album is released, it would be a Hip-Hop album with no profanity that would touch on relevant social issues.

There's alot of money in preaching the gospel. Just drive in your city and look at the size of the hundreds of churches. Mase said in his book he was making as much preaching as he did rappin.

I dunno we'll have to wait and see how this will turn out ???

why doesnt he just sign to bad boys again?

on a tangent.....even though i'm not a CHRISTIAN,
there are some pretty dope christian rappers out there i bet ya'll would like...i used to listen to a bunch of christian rap music cuz it was new to me back then and every now and then i take a look at what's comin out, but i've found that there's a handful of pretty dope christian mc's. if anyone is gonna go look, i would highly recommend this dude called "phanatik" from "the cross movement" he's
dropped some of the dopest verses i ever heard (AND I'M NOT EVEN A CHRISTIAN!)
"...If i could rhyme for forever, TWICE/
you wouldn't have heard one third of the words we could use to describe CHRIST"
but i would seriously recommend this album called "House of Representatives" by "The Cross Movement" or "Heaven's Mentality" by the Cross movement.
there's this dude that sounds a lot like Bone THugs, named "Antonious" and he's got a dope style too. I'd recommend the album "good vs. evil."
and this dude "nuwine", he's got a load of christian albums and even did a song on the 5th ward boyz compilation with the ghetto boys.
my OG favorite though is this dude called "lil raskull", i just like his mix of beats and lyrics. they're not all that complex, but he was the easiest for me to listen to when i first heard christian rap.....
i don't know if ya'll remember, but this dude "frankie cutlass" did a christian album after his "politics and bullsh*t" release on tommy boy. i haven't heard the whole thing, but i heard a couple tracks that i was feelin....

ya know it isnt the mase im used to...but i'll still pick up his album and probably love every minute of it.

It's cool If he's gonna get a message across :),but If he's talking that,If you don't find Jesus in your life type shit,the Fuck Him straight up! :(

First of all, Mase aint NEVER gonna run out of money, it keeps coming in for that fool. He was one of the few artists on Bad Boy who had a good contract and helped write some of the biggest rap songs ever (Mo Money, Mo Problems for example), he still gets cheques in the mail.
If he came back, i really think he will roll with Kanye. Why? Kanye has said many times Mase is his favourite ever, and i KNOW they could produce HUGE hits.
by the way, i bet this is just a rumour, allhiphop has a lot of bullshit
-
This is old news...I remember it was posted here a while ago, but everyone was saying that it was a false rumor...PeACe
-
kanye and Mase wud be dope together..I can imagine Mase spittin sum mellow shit over a Kanye beat...dam that wud be dope.
-
this isnt a rumor, im pretty sure its true, itll be funny to see what he raps about... and yes him and kanye will be dope.. but so would many opther rappers and kanye....
-
we'll see.
-
I never really liked Ma$e, for the same issue that I don't like Loon, because they both have this boring flow that I don't dig. It would be bad to see Kanye wastin' his beats for Ma$e, but that's just me. I'm interesting in how the lyrics will look like though.
-
it'll be interesting to see what he raps about and whether he'll stop usin any kind of foul language. Murda Ma$e spittin conscious lyrics on social and religious issues :D
Mase and kanye sounds dope, but 95% of all mc's and kanye sounds dope

What man! Loon doesn't make any sense anyways,Now I think Mase would make more sense,and Kayne and Cudda on board,I think Mase would have great comeback,think of his album as the Mase version of Deliverence! ;D
