Let The Game Begin

Mason Betha just put out a Not-So-Cryptic Tweet from his Twitter Handle, @SaintMason, saying:

“Wow.. I Just Got A G.O.O.D. Offer!!!”

Clearly, Minister Ma$e is referring to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music Label on Def Jam Records.  Kim Kardashian’s Beau already has seasoned Veterans under his label like John Legend and former Cash Money Co-Founder, Mannie Fresh with an album due out soon.  Common was also one of the first signed to the label but left it last year.  Kanye also recently signed Teyana Taylor.

Ma$e left the Rap Game in 1999 after finding God and becoming a Born-Again Christian, just a few short years after the fall of Tupac Shakur and former Bad Boy Labelmate Christopher Wallace a.k.a. 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G.

Ma$e returned to Hip-Hop with his original Mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2004, and with lackluster response, left the game again, only to feel inspired to return after Michael Jackson’s passing in 2009.

And it looks like he’ll be getting quite the 2nd Comeback now with Kanye behind the G.O.O.D. Music.

Let’s just see if that G.O.O.D. Music is also mixed in with some Good News.

Celebrate The Life... Regret And Mourn The Loss

Today Marks the 15 Year Anniversary of when Christopher Wallace, A.K.A. The Notorious B.I.G. A.K.A. Biggie Smalls was gunned down in front of the Petersen Automotive Museum off Fairfax and Wilshire in Los Angeles.

Wallace was attending the Vibe Magazine Soul Train Music Awards After-Party on Saturday Night, March 9th, 1997 when he was gunned down by an unknown assailant, who drove off into the night…. putting an end to the East Coast / West Coast Beef that culminated in the most tragic losses in Hip-Hop History… including Tupac’s Murder in Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand on September 7th, 1996.

And just as Dexter Isaac wrote a letter from jail admitting his responsibility for shooting Tupac at the Times Square Studios in 1994 on the 15 year anniversary of his death… Today, Retired Los Angeles Police Detective, Greg Kading announced that he knows who pulled the trigger in Biggie’s murder… The man in question is also deceased, dying from gunshot wounds.

For the sake of my safety, considering everybody knows my whereabouts at all times… I will not go any further into these claims and allegations.. you can search them all out yourself as many other sites have posted this information.

In the end, no amount of murder or case solving, or evidence or finger pointing will ever bring back our 2 Greatest Hip-Hop Artists of All Time, Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace.

In the end, our lesson to take from this is the fact that life is precious… and each individual and unique life happens only once, and once it is gone, it is gone for good.

R.I.P. B.I.G.

As Biggie As You Can Get

Here’s “Notorious” Star Jamal Woolard reminding us just how much he looks like Christopher Wallace a.k.a. Biggie Smalls a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G., and reminding us why it is he got the job to play Biggie in the first place.

Jamal is seen here at the Pre-Grammy party at the now historic Tru Hollywood.
