But what set things off was the most unfortunate of things. One involved a Bay Area cat named Mack Minister picking a squab with rap star E-40. This particular guy earned his claim to fame when he was featured on a song on E-40's album a few years back. He did a humorous rendition of a preacher reading off the Ten Commandments of Macking. It was a nice little gimmick and it was a nice way for a guy like E-40 to show someone local some love. This was several years ago.Over the years folks in the Bay would see the Mack Minister show up at various functions riding on the notoriety of that one vinyl appearance. He would often insist on being allowed up on stage to do his 'Preacher routine. Most of the time folks would oblige but on more the a few occasions he would get out of pocket and be real aggressive and insistent. Most people were under the impression that he was down with E-40's click, but such was not the case. If anything there was distancing because Mack Minister's antics were starting to cause problems for local promoters who were automatically associating him to E-40. One of the more unfortunate outcomes of his instance occurred during a Summer jam concert a couple of years ago where he showed up backstage and caused a scene. He demanded to be let on stage to do his routine, when everything was said and done, cats rushed backstage and causing the show to be monetarily stopped. It caught everyone by surprise when he showed up at this year's All-star Summer Jam. Not only did he show up but he actually went out on stage and did his routine. He had somehow connected with Daz and Kurupt who were scheduled to perform but not aware of the past problems he had caused in the past. They themselves seemed a bit surprised when he went onstage and did his Mack Minister routine before they performed. He even offered to sell some T-shirts with his Ten Commandments for Macking. Since there was no drama or trouble everyone kinda shrugged things off. Backstage people joked about his persistence. However, what caught folks off guard was when Mack Minister started bad mouthing E-40 who wasn't in attendance. Homeboy made numerous off color remarks and insisted that he had 'made' E-40 and taught him all of the slang like 'Oh Boy', 'Ya smell me' etc. that he uses. This of course is preposterous, totally ridiculous and definitely untrue. It seemed like Minister was trying to 'show out' which has been typical of him and hence his remarks and antics were summarily dismissed and not taken seriously.During The Source Awards Mack Minister managed to somehow not only show up-400 miles from home, but he also managed to get in and land a seat with all the artist who were scheduled to perform. In between takes E-40 was talking with some of the cats from Cash Money when Mack Minister made his way down the aisle and started trying to show out. In front of the Outlaws, Cash Money and numerous other crews he started berating E-40 who responded by trying to diffuse things. When he was asked to chill Minster got even more animated and tried to loud talk E-40 even more. What happened next is a bit confusing, as there are all sorts of stories. From where I sat I could see Minister trying to get up in E-40's face and 40 trying to avoid a confrontation. Those who were seated closer said that Mack Minister was clearly in the wrong and had crossed the line when he pushed at E-40 and snatched his chain. As big as E-40 is what was this kid thinking? People who had seen him earlier said Minister may have been high on something due to his erratic behavior Nevertheless, once the chain was snatched Mack Minister caught the beat down of lifetime. Because of Minister's proximity to Cash Money some folks mistakenly thought there was funk between The Click and Cash Money. That was definitely not the case. The two camps were conversing before and after the melee. There was also talk that Bones, Thugs and Harmony were also involved due to the fact that they had ripped shirts. Again that was not the case. Mack Minister was eventually taken out by police but not arrested.
it sure is, he should start using steriods. Maybe they would make him make better music too.
