Ok, My blackberry's been buzzing like CRAZY over this topic. Everybody wants to comment over this and some cats seem to be getting mad and personally, I feel this is getting outta hand. Ok lets see what we have so far...

1) He's a Man of God, on a worldly song. (check)
2) He's a Man of God thats boasting ova the fame and riches his status has given him. (check)
3)He's repping us wrong. (check)
4)He needs to repent. (check)
Did I miss anything?

Now I have a question... How is God getting glory outta us (Body of Christ) continually going over this? Whats been said, and needed to be said...was said a couple days ago. WHY KEEP THIS GOING ON???!!!???

Lift em up in prayer, FAST if need be...then move on.
-Grace-n-Peace..

most of us knew the ma$e from the world.... and now we are getting to know ma$e in the transformation.... as we see ma$e is still wanting to serve the god in his name $. he looked back and have seen the lust of the eye that he once was a slave to. i pray for the scales to be removed from his eyes.... b/c we dont want him to be the religious leader of a church, casting out demons and when he stand b4 God, Jesus will say i never know you. Thats not what i want to see for those that proclaim the name of JESUS... we have to as believer Preach the Gospel.

only cause its about ur comments like a joke about you is funny to others but not you.. cool!! got my friends request? hope we can still have love for one another and understand are views on this is just not the same...

cool, man.

wasn't important enough to me for me to comment, wifredo

Big Ran I'm no longer on the Ma$e issue. I'm simply stating that one man's freedom could cause another to stumble. I feel you regarding the wine issue. My issue is this: You see Lecrae drinkin' a Corona on YouTUBE right? Now, to you it's no big deal. However, to another cat it might appear as license to go out and get slammed cuz he struggles with those issues. It's just a matter of responsibility cuz we can't lead our brother into temptation. Even if we've broken NONE of God's commands...

whatever man ? forgot to again comment anything else about what i wrote ur just focused on the rebuke lol..i guess ppl are blind to the facts...and ill just say we agree to disagree then! ..

wifredo, whatever man.

I disagree wholeheartedly Brian. There's no way that Ma$e having a benz in and bracelet in his video could justify someone having a gat in theirs. Some might argue that Jesus looked "ungodly" by making wine for people to drink at the wedding ceremony. If you saw me at a party drinking a glass of wine, chances are you won't be inviting me to minister to your youth on Sunday, but here we have the KING of Kings supplying wine to all who would drink in celebration.In actuality if whatever you do is in direct contradiction to a persons conventional wisdom then you aren't held accountable for that. As long as it doesn't contradict God, and I just haven't heard anything in that verse that contradicted God.

all i said i agreed with him that you do need to embrace it .. i agree you dont have to recieve what i tell you .. but all im saying is mase is wrong for making music that dont glorify God in anyway .. and your wrong for taking part of it so understand it before you jump on it bruh .. its obvious you did not read it well so ill copy and paste it again

"and all im saying is richard had a point and u need to embrace it ... " thats only saying i agree with him .. if u see me say i rebuke you embrace it then get at me.. but i didnt i only agreed sometimes you got to here another person agree to get the point .. and thats what i did agreed
and againg i was just trying to correct you and i can just like you said "sure you can attempt to correct me, the only problem is that since I don't know you, I'll never receive " now like you said you dont have to recieve it its all good but imma do my part ofr the truth !! holla nad i to extend my my love to you as a brother in Christ and also quote you " Receive God's love and peace and joy in your life"
God bless and im out !!

Yo Big Ran, what I was implying is that we can give messages to the listener that could appear as ungodly inadvertently. Like posin' with an iced out chain on top of a dubbed out Benz. One might gather that you're about flashiness. All in all there's no real way to look "Christian" but its important that we don't pass off the wrong impression either. A cat might say, "Since got a Benz in his video, I can have a gat..." A little extreme, I know, but it illustrates the point. Be blessed.

you made a challenge about all of my comments being about money and fame, but if you'll check the blog roll...NONE OF MY COMMENTS WERE ABOUT MONEY OR FAME!!!!!

no you got it all wrong. sure you can attempt to correct me, the only problem is that since I don't know you, I'll never receive it. I don't even know how you live. the only thing i know about you is a comment you made on dasouth.com. So, no sir, I do not receive your rebuke. Receive God's love and peace and joy in your life. That is all.

so cause i dont know you i cant correct you when your wrong? and all im saying is richard had a point and u need to embrace it ... . all your comments speak about money and fame .. read them .. and then you try to justify it all ..

and the only thing funny is out of everything i said you looked at the rebuke part .. lol good eyes

now let me speak your language kind sir .. since you talk numbers .. see how many ppl say mase is in the wrong for what he is doing and how many say he is in the right .. ..or is that you cant bite the hand that feeds you ?

I agree with you to an extent. Artists do have a responsibility to please God. But if the listener doesn't get the message then they just don't get it. Everybody didn't get Jesus' messages when he spoke in parables. Everything isn't for everybody.

Aside from this issue with Ma$e, I believe we have a responsibility as HHH artists overall to bring glory to God in our songs. The aspect of self-examination is so important. I believe with each song we should ask "Is God pleased with this? Is it glorifying HIM? Will the listener get the wrong impression?" These are things we can't afford to miss. God is good...

embrace the rebuke. lololololololol. hahahahahah lolololol a ha ha....Embrace the rebuke lolololololololololololololololoololololololol..... that was a good one. I don't even know you man.

it seems some ppl wanna make it sound ok to do what they do just to get a check cut out ....

now his verse shows lust since that aint his wife.. nor his girlfriend also shows he is trying to give her all these things to show his love for her "if its love" i think he is just trying to do what these secular artist do and make it rain on her.. so big ran dont justify what he is doing by asking questions like whats wrong with his verse and then try to use a book from the bible to help you .. and your on thin lines working with him .. as a matter of fact since your working with him u ask him what is he planning to do with his rapping skills ... what is his aim ? and second of all get of the check book and get on the book of God cause brotha your behind a brother whos heart shows confusion .. if you dont beleive me look at my last comment and see what even the world is seeing and sayin ... and i agree with Richard embrace the rebuke .. God bless

and im out .. but im sure ill get called out so ill be back ..

God it the judge of Mase and all that he does,not man! Im not saying he's right for his verse or wrong, I say let God be God!! In the end we will all have to stand an give account for all we have done. God Bless

Indeed Chauncy! and Jesus made sure that the body saw a doctor first, he brought healing first....then He, the head, would make a decision to amputate if no healing was received!

And just to make it clear to all the bloggers I am not debating whether it is ok or not to involve yourself with any secualar artform...that will take all day and frankly....why debate? My point is that we as a community still love these cats that do it....get it LOOOVVVVVVE, not idolize but support, pray for well being, etc!

I'm done.....I'm burning dinner right now!

I LOVE you all with the Love of the Lord!

the blind leading the blind... JESUS have mercy on us b/c sometime we proclaim your name and bring dishonor in the same sentence... I think its time to cut some body parts off... if your eyes cause you to sin pluck it out.......

I agree with you LaToya. Let us pray

@ LaToya. Well said and Amen

Points well takin on both sides...I know this cuz my iphone has been bleepin with the emails nonstop for about an hour! No problem, however both parties raised a good point we hop on these post and it turns out to be a big thing..YES fight for the gospel but we don't even have all the details in this case. Nobody knows the innermost workings of Mase's heart God does. Yall do realize we got most of our evidence from the media...they fuel this stuff.

OK the cat did spit a verse on a secular song. However, the verse still has not incriminated him on that alone. HHH artists all day make mixtapes and rap over secular beats we still love them, many HHH artist sound sooo much like the gospel version of their secular counterparts we still love them, so on and so forth. My point we owe Mase nothing but to love him.


Big Ran obviously you have seen something in Mase that you will not doubt I respect that. I respect your ministry as well! We have not even heard the tracks (fruit) yet.. so again the only thing at this point to do is pray for us all cuz this stuff will get you wrapped up and NO work for the kingdom has been done. We all are still apart of the body...PRAYYYY!

My mistake, fam. Sometimes the context is hard to interpret when you're typing. It's all love and we gonna keep it 100 all day 'round here. Holla.

Why isn't Ma$e's verse about a God fearing man's devotion to a God fearing woman?

The funny thing Brian is that I'm sooooooo serious and not one of my posts regarding this subject is meant to be taken lightly. Judging by the fruits, people do jump on these boards to blast cats all day. check the archives. And Brian....you know nothing about me dude. Lets keep it 100.

I mean makes no sense to have a drug addict and ex-addict go minister to addicts to help them get off of drugs

Simply classic...

The Songs of Solomon embody the intimacy of a God-fearing man and woman's relationship and their Godly devotion one another. Also, it is characteristic of Messiah and His bride-Israel (The Church). Oneness and intimacy is the central theme of the Word of God. This is hey Yeshua says the greatest command is "Hear O Israel the Lord our God is one Lord..."

Yo, Big Ran you're a funny cat and I can see that you're light-hearted. I appreciate that about you. However, these are SERIOUS issues man. We don't hop on the boards to blast cats all day but to stand for THE TRUTH in God's Word.

And yes, I did mention record sales to illustrate a point that HHH has and is advancing! It's irrevelant how many points we put on the score board. What matters is how we hard play the game.

If you can't make music about anything other than Jesus then explain to me Song of Solomon.

Guess we'll just have to disagree yet again. neither of you has proven how that verse was sin.

We must meet people where they are without compromising ourselves in the process. As far as i know it's whole different ballgame when you're ministering vs just hanging out. I.E. i could be at a family BBQ and have people there getting drunk,cursing,etc...But that doesn't mean I'm going to want to hear that same person in the pulpit on Sunday morning bringing the word. We work with sinners all the time based on the positions that we're in but when it comes to spreading the gospel makes more sense for two people that are on the same playing field to bring the gospel. Like Kirk Franklin said, it's unfair to the non-Christian to be on a collab with a Christian cause they're still dealing with their sins. I mean makes no sense to have a drug addict and ex-addict go minister to addicts to help them get off of drugs.

So u tryna tell me there was no other way than Mase to fellowship with drake other than getting on a song with him? Nah brudda. Yes Christ did eat with the publicans BUT he was STILL CHRSIT!! he didnt leave His holyness at the door, he didnt compromise himself to eat with them, AND did he not minister to them same folk? IS MASE MINISTERING TO THE GIRL IN THE DRAKE SONG? IS HE PASTOR MASON BETHA OR MURDA MASE?? Paul said to become all things to all people but he aint mean like that family. Oh and i called you kind sir as to not call u out ya name out of respect. sorry if my respecting u was disrespectful

God is good. It seems like no matter what article, blog, or interview that comes out we end up on some sort of doctrinal inconsistency. Big Ran, I love you brother. Because I love you as brother in Messiah, I have to say that your scriptural comparison is incorrect. It's one thing to be a light to the lost who are in darkness. It's a WHOLE 'nother ball game to engage in godliness with them. Yeshua was there with the "sinners" however he didn't condone their sin. He was a rabbi, well-respected in the community by the people who knew the Word of God. The real Pharisee is the one who hangs the word of their favorite rapper and esteems above THE WORD OF GOD. This is the same thing that was done in Yeshua's day--they loved oral tradition more than God's heart. There are HHH artists who have invited secular rappers to spit on their tracks. They've been a light to the game but THEY DID NOT COMPROMISE and embrace a worldly mindset.

If I was you I wouldn't check it either fam.

I didn't bring up the number of records sold. Brian Jemison did. I don't know why people act like all haven't sinned and fallen short of the glory. y'all trip me out man.

Eric B, well spoken. Amen.

first of all why do you call me kind sir? you don't know if i'm kind at all. please don't patronize me.
your argument about Ma$e getting on a song about fornication sounds eerily similar to pharisees comments about Jesus dining and hanging with sinners. There is nothing wrong with the verse that Ma$e laid on that song just like there was nothing wrong with Jesus eating or celebrating at weddings with sinners.

It seems that your comments are driven by $$$. Most people on this board don't care about number of records sold. There are numerous HHH artist that can go Gold if they wanted to. You can't be popular with the world if you are telling people that Hell is real or that worshipping a culture that is Anti-Christ is not ok. I am not sure if you are emotionally invested in the project sense you are producing it. Bottom line is that it is all love, however it is all about God and His standard. Recently, one of my FAVORITE christian rappers (who is also a pastor), has comprimised his marriage. He did not uphold the standard, and I am praying for him. Just because I like the artist (and waiting for his restoration and return) does not mean that the standard should be lowered for him. God's standard is never lowered for anyone. Ma$e has talent. I even liked some of the songs in "Welcome Back", but...there has been issues with Ma$e's character. His character for a Christian artist (and Pastor) is below the standard for a man in hid position. Does not matter if he sold a Million or one record. Until he repents and gets restored, I CAN NOT support his efforts.

Allow me to quote me:

I earnestly prayed that he had repented and since has renewed his covenant with God, but it appears that he's tormented with fame. My prayer is that God will shut this come back down like HE did the last time with G-Unit.

I stand behind this statement 100%. He's displayed his motives already. He stated himself:

"I asked my nephew, 'Who is the hottest thing out there?' and he said, 'Drake!' When I listened to his music I said, 'I'm going to jump on this joint.' I've got things up my sleeves, I just need someone to play them."

Does that sound like a man pursuing God's will or another crack at stardom? Honestly fam, I pray that Ma$e is used by GOD in a powerful way but THIS
"come back" is Ma$e's will. He has yet to acknowledge and glorify God with his gift. The bottom line is this, "How do you reach people for God if you're not sharing The Good News?" I'm sorry but icin' out shorty's ankle and coppin' her stainless Audemar's ain't the Good News. God isn't concerned with celebrity but what we do with celebrity. More over every believer is a celebrity in God's sight.

Lastly, Big Ran, I ain't checkin' your resume fam. After all "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks".

I dont care about who sold the most records, who got the most influence, yadda yadda yadda. If PASTOR MASON BETHA is put in a position where the KINDOM PURPOSE could be pushed and he instead pushes his own agenda cause he feel like stretching his "rap" legs, then thats a problem. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways, no man can serve two masters, stuff like this comes to mind when you hear a Pastor, who is responsible for the souls he oversees, preach and teahc righteousness and get on a song about fornication and spit a verse that could be seen as leading somebodies WIFE into adultery. Its more than music, and its not hate. If I love u and u got food in ya teeth, no matter if u gon feel embarrased or not ima tell u. Not to embarress you, but so u can fix the problem. Do i know dude? No. But a clean rap album is not a Christ rap album. Point Blank Period. If doin numbers is what yall bout then do numbers, but what is it to gain the accolades and have Christ turn away from you. Clean out your itchin ears and check what we sayin with scriptures. Stop gettin mad, the rihteous man embraces the rebuke cause it gets him to correct something he may have not seen a need to correct. Be blessed

hey brian how can you say that no one on this board is hating on Ma$e, but you commented that you pray that God shuts this comeback down. sounds like some hatin to me.

Do i understand holy hip hop and its artists? check the resume'

Am i a believer? - Again, check the resume'

Plenty of holy hip hop artists that have sold more than 500,000 records? honestly sir, you would have a hard time naming PLENTY. maybe 1 and he's not really hip hop.

well said Brian.

i think ur completely missing the point. and actually your comments kind of worry me. in fact the point of this is just the opposite of what you said - nobody would have any problem with this dude if he wasn't in the spotlight. when ur in a position of authority in the church, not to mention in the world's limelight as well, you are held to a much higher standard... pick up the word my friend. according to my bible, the blood of many will be on his hands. these are people's eternities and this is not a light matter... he needs to check himself, step down from the church, and stop serving two masters!

Yo, I'm sure what angle you're coming from fam? First and foremost, Big Ran, are you a believer? Do you understand the motive of Holy Hip Hop and the artist therein? Honestly, no one on this board ever hated on Ma$e. The hearts of the people here are inclined toward God's purpose and it appears (from Ma$e's own lips) that he's not back to win souls but to jumpstart his rap career yet again. There are many Holy Hip artists that embrace the truth of God's Word who've 1) sold more records than "Welcome Back" and 2) refuse to compromise The Truth for "fans". We don't want the people led astray like blind sheep. I love Ma$e as a brother in The Lord but The Lord disciplines those whom HE loves. Please, don't jump on here talkin' about Ma$e's merits because they don't mean diddly to God. If he's not a servant of Messiah, then he's wack and a false prophet. Real talk.

I gotta weigh in because as a producer I'm actually working with Ma$e on this "comeback". We've been at the studio GOING IN! You should really just pray God's perfect will be done in his life because you don't know God's plan for his life. The funny part about the comments is seeing all of the people with little to no influence speak negatively about a man of God with great influence. I'm just grateful to God to have gotten the call from Ma$e to get in the lab and make history. You can hate from the sidelines or you can get involved and pray for the success of God's man as he steps out to dominate an industry that "holy hip hop" artists wish that they could tap in to. Where is the love people? Here's an opportunity to support a move of God in an ungodly environment. All of the real believers STAND UP NOW!!!!!!! - BIG RAN

yea everyone is finding religion but who is finding relationship .. thats the problem with these ppl they are rapped in religion and have no relationship with the Lord our God Jesus the Christ !!

when they find that then they will truly be set free ... and yea the media takes it and makes fun of it like loon says but do they have reasons? look at what Mase is doing!! make Christians look bad and worst of all Makes Christ look bad

Anthony, thanx for posting that Loon-youtube broadcast. That along with this Mase stuff just goes to show that deception is very present in this world but with that said I don't want to shoot off my opinion all I want to beg of us collectively to do is to start praying...hard! We don't have all the facts but IF God did place Mase in a pastoral position and he has backslided to this than it is not our place to offer opinions. Then also, the previous dude is right in one aspect we can't put our mouths on him...we can't root him on either! In that aspect look at how David handled Saul in 1 Sam. He didn't go after or mock Saul he did the opposite and carried out the will of God. He was given warnings but when he didn't heed God dealt with Saul Himself. We know definately we can't excuse sin as believers SO take the Kingdom back by force...through righteous prayers. Pray for this man and the vulnerable ears he reached. We are the generation that is def supposed to be targeting these things in our prayer life. So lets get in!
Peace.

So I listened to this I wish he found God and was not misled by Islam. But he does raise a good point at 2:15-2:40.

This guy flips flops more than a caught fish, more than Al Gore. So he's not going to rap its not godly, so he's going to rap for God, then rap for G Unit, then he's going to put out a tv show and plant a new church, then he's back to rapping secular... err... dizzy. Someone should sit him down and take him through so SERIOUS deliverance and discipleship. I don't know if he knows who he is, let alone who he is in Christ. I've heard his sermons but his actions conflict with his own preaching and messages. He's sending mixed messages. He doesn't fellowship with known Christian Rappers, his church is built around him and the Checkflo Dollar typa money ministry. The evidence of obedient faith or relationship with the holy spirit are lacking. I mean he gets caught on camera or a look a like looking for a man hooker, he's called out for doing drugs and getting a blow job, he raps about putting people to sleep with a gun... While pastoring? errr... this dude is so conflicted. Prayer isn't enough he needs deliverance and discipleship.

Here are the lyrics to this song. I cleaned up all of the foul language, I'm still praying for Mase.

Drake Ft. Mase - Best I Ever Had Remix
[Intro]
you know a lot of girls be
thinking my songs are about them
this is not to get confused
this 1's for you

[Bridge]
Baby you my everything
You all I ever wanted
We could do it real big
Bigger than you ever done it
You'll be up on everything
Other h*** ain't ever on it
I want this forever
I swear I can spend whatever on it
Cause she hold me down
Every time I hit her up
When I get right
I promise that we gon live it up
She made me beg for it
Til she give it up
& I say the same thing every single time

[Hook]
I say you the ******* best

You the best i ever had
best i ever had
best i ever had
best i ever had
I say you the *******...

[Mase]
I said girl so beautiful, down to her cuticle
I can't explain it
Every time I take a picture with you, wanna frame it
Dreaming don't change it, please don't rearrange it
You could be my prosecutor, I could be your plaintiff
You could me my coffee girl, and I could be you Danish
You're already camera ready, you ain't even famous
These other girls just ain't it
Get you couple Audemars if you like them stainless
Now what I actually mean, I'll put some cash in your jean
Put a dash to your name
Put some stone in your watch that be matching your chain
Put some rocks on your ankle and you ain't ask for a thing
That's what I'm actually saying
I move you out the hood for good
And if that brother could, he would
Mase won't lie to you, when I say I'm good I'm good
You're very ordinary, tell me how you want your wrist
It's Mase and Drake, I promise you'll remember this

[Bridge]
Baby you my everything
You all I ever wanted
We could do it real big
Bigger than you ever done it
You'll be up on everything
Other h*** ain't ever on it

[Verse 2]
Sex, Love, Pain, baby I be on that Tank ****
Buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disc
When my album drop, b**** buy it for the picture
& n***** buy it too & claim they got it for their sister
Magazine, paper girl, but money ain't the issue
They bring dinner to my room & ask me to initial
She call me "the referee" cause I be so official
My shirt ain't got no stripes but I can make your ***** whistle
Like the Andy Griffith theme song
& who told you to put them jeans on
Double cup love, you the one I lean on
Feeling for a fix, then you should really get your fiend on
Yeah, just know my condo is the crack spot
Every single show she out there repping like a mascot
Get it from the back & make your ******* bra strap pop
All up in your slot til a n**** hit the jackpot
I'm saying...

[Bridge]
Baby you my everything
You all I ever wanted
We could do it real big
Bigger than you ever done it
You'll be up on everything
Other h**** ain't ever on it
I want this forever
I swear I can spend whatever on it
Cause she hold me down
Every time I hit her up
When I get right
I promise that we gon live it up
She made me beg for it
Til she give it up
& I say the same thing every single time

[Hook]
I say you the ******* best
you the ******* best

[Outro]
Uhh

Just make sure they that special somebody
Young money
Yeah, Yeah

You know who you are...

I GOT YOU.

these are comments on youtube from who are to my understanding not believers ..

1:hytr101- wow?this niga needs to run back to the (f-word) chruch before he try to step in the booth again

2:KidintheBitz mase said in an interview that when mike jackson died, he realised what is he doin not doin music? so he said hes back
hes the worst example of a christian ever. PERIOD lmao

3:pmurraymusic Is Mase still being promiscuous and a pastor or did he finally settle down with a husband?
Oops.


all i did was copy paste and fix a curse word..and the comments are most def. worldly but the point is that its sad that even the non-believers have to check him .. so i will have to agree with everyone here puttin Mase in his place

and im out !!

Mase need to sit down somewhere and be discipled! for real! If he's serious about following Christ that's what he needs to do..NOT MUSIC! And to all be discipled and give yourself over to God and His Word, before you start doing music, preaching, anything ministry. We got too many folks out there profaning God's name and making Christianity a laughing stock among the unbelievers! I'm sorry but a true follower of Christ is not looking for fame/fortune and not looking to make his name great. Jesus didn't do it, neither should we. So let's call a spade a spade...and one more thing..ain't nobody untouchable but Christ!

to carey davis:

bro, u are completely crazy!!! seriously, what are you even talking about?!?! if this dude was an unsaved secular rapper, i would have a completely different attitude about him, but this man has exalted himself to a position of authority in the church and as such he is held to a higher standard. i'm sorry man, but you really should think about what you're saying before you say it... seriously, do you even understand that he is setting an example for many Christians and as a result of him not living right or having his own walk with Christ figured out before trying to lead others, that he almost certainly is causing others to stumble or lose their relationship with Christ?????

He is still a man of God and annointed of God please watch what you say bout God's elect. All we owe him is prayer keep your opinions.

is that for real that he's a pastor of a church? man, talk about the blind leading the blind! that is messed up! dude is still very confused about who he is and what it means to follow Christ and he's trying to LEAD OTHERS!!!!... that song speaks volumes about where his heart his at. everybody on hear is saying pray for Mase and we should, but who I'm really be praying for is his congregation. i pray the Lord open his congregation's eyes and hold Mase accountable for these actions.

On the real I hear what your saying DJ, and you right..to a certain accent...

1) I've NEVER heard either Drake, or this song before. All I heard was what ol dude had on his comment as the link to it (which I now guess is the radio version).

2) What I gathered from Ma$e verse was that he was speaking to his wife..but aye, I could be wrong.

3) Drake makes a comment at the start of the song saying that this song was to a "Certain" lady..not many (but aye once again..I could be wrong).

Brah, I wasn't saying that ima go out a cop it. I'm not even that type dude. I was simply making the statement that I (like most men) would do whatever to make my Queen smile. So if I had millions (not that shes that type of chick) I would shower her with whatever I could... But on the flip side... Ma$e is straight FOUL for being a pastor, but yet repping the other side. We have to set a standard and stand for Holiness at all cost, at all times.

Grace-n-Peace...Los

I totally disagree with you on the fact that this song is cool. I read the lyrics online through GOOGLE and there are several different versions of this song. The song is in no way talking about a man and his wife. This is a song for any brother who has many girls he fools around with but dedicates this song to his main girl. You know the one who holds him down no matter what. Mase's verse is all about giving a girl the finest things he can afford, but not for his wife, but to relate with a girl who he wants to help get her out the hood. The song is explicit, foul lyrics and in no way edifying God, but endorsing pre-Marital Sex and shacking up. So this song is not for the married people, but for all who have a girl on the side. That’s why I pray for my brother Mase because he has once again fallen into Satan’s grasp for fame. It’s sad that my fellow brother in Christ wants to do music again because Michael Jackson is dead! MJ never did nothing for us except make music that never glorified God, but just made you feel good. He is nothing more than dust just like me and didn't die for us. It hurts to see this happening and I will remove myself from endorsing him but I will continue to pray and hope someone in the ministry will be able to shed some common sense and light in helping him understand that we cannot serve 2 Masters.

Lets be real...the songs pretty cool (I wouldn't bump it..but feel me). I mean, you show me a dude thats happy with his lady, but anit trying to give the world to her, anit trying to break his neck to please her...and anit gonna brag on her, and i'll show you a cat thats either cheating..or about too...

However, as followers of Christ, we GOTTA do better. He could have spit that verse on a cut of his own, while thanking God for his lady. Instead, he gonna co-sign wit this cat...as if God is pleased with it. Thats dirty main.

I anit gonna bash ol dude, i'm jus gonna say what the Word would say... choooose this day who you gonna serve???...Nuff said.

Regardless how he's acting, as far as we know..he's one of us. So we gotta lift him up, and Trust that Christ will open his eyes...sooner then later.

I wasn't initially going to post this but after hearing the song, I believe it's appropriate. Here's an excerpt from his own book regarding music for God:

In the book of Revelation, God says that we are not to add nothing to HIS wordm or take anything away. People say they want to reach young people so they have to use music that young people want to listen to. What happens when young people want to listen to pimps? Do we make gospel pimp? You're trying to change God to fit what people want.

I earnestly prayed that he had repented and since has renewed his covenant with God, but it appears that he's tormented with fame. My prayer is that God will shut this come back down like HE did the last time with G-Unit.

We don't need any more misrepresentation or false prophets within in our midst. We've got way too many already...

This man got people following him. A double minded man is unstable in all His ways. The bible says that no man can serve two masters, and yet Mr. Betha is doing it and still being praised and uplifted as a man of God in a pit of vipers! Nah fam. It dont go like that. I pray that people stop being lead by itching ears, stop being comfortable because when u comfortable u tend to sleep, and stop just walking under God's grace and start to walk in His righteousness. Shouts to Omega Sparx

I just heard the song and please Mase don't come back like this. Don't come back and talk about money and how much ice you can buy your girl. One word...YAWN!! Its soo lame that you would only come back to make music thats socially accebtable, and not for make music for the God you serve. Mase pleassse dig deeper, I know you can do better. You got music God has given that the world needs to hear. If you care to listen to it heres the link. http://www.zshare.net/audio/6201614104e3fba6/

I truly hope this next album singles are something we can play and not some watered down verision of murda mase..After all he is a pastor and that takes on a whole other level of accountability. As for the forthcoming music i'll just pray,wait and see.At this point I'd rather hear a sermon from him than music.

I wonder if Tre-9 is going to include Mase in the The Fence documentary

I REALLY don't want to see him back. Sorry fam. But it is true. Christian Hip Hop has taken great steps forward and I feel that his last album was looked at as "Christian Hip Hop"...and it had some good songs....don't get me wrong. It just seemed like he was fence sitting. Being luke warm is not respectable. So...Ma$e be on fire for God or STAY HOME!

I believe Corey Red said it best in his track "Prayer for Hip Hop".

Ayo Ma$e, prayin' for U, hopin' you last
Here's a word of caution, don't let preachers promote you too fast
Be led of the Spirit, do everything within God's timing...

I truly hope that Ma$e doesn't contradict His faith and the claims that he made in his book "Revelations". I believe God truly moved in his life but he's gotta walk out his anointing in fulness. I pray that he has some sort of spiritual accountability to keep his heart in check.

I really hope that Ma$e comes with some inspirational music this time, and stop trying to be like the world. He messed up in my opinion trying to hook up with G unit as Murda Mase. i guess we all need to pray for him and ask God to speak to him and touch him so that he will make the right decisions musically, and represent Christ more than push a message of positivity.

Mase.......if you out there reading, don't mess up this time, we want you to be original, don't jump on every record or beat,... preach the message in your songs so that i can be proud and play it for my unsaved friend who can receive Salvation, Repentance, and Conviction through the Holy Spirit in the melodies and word, otherwise, it may be a contradiction of what your preaching......... Just consider that.

Peace man.... Be the salt of the earth and a light in the dark places
