Opinion: Ma$e is a walking publicity stunt

The irrelevant rapper and former Bad Boy MC is now seeking headlines. That’s why Ma$e aka Mason Betha. The flashy and shiny suits head honcho. The famous side-kick and close associate of Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy aka P. Diddy aka Diddy. He made his career with Bad Boy records and the “Harlem World” (1997) was the project that signified him. It went four times platinum!

Mase has fallen off since then. He has dropped two more projects. The sophomore LP was released in 1999 called “Double Up”. Later in his career he became a Pastor and had a church in Atlanta, Georgia. While returning with the LP “Welcome Back” in 2004. However that didn’t give him the success and the results of the past. Both these projects only got certified as gold, which was a far away from the success of “Harlem World”.

Since he returned from his tenure of being a pastor to the rap game. He went as far as relaunching “Murda Mase” and tried to get signed to the G-Unit and 50 Cent in 2005. That was certainly to get more leverage and be part of the new powerhouse of New York. However, his former label head Diddy didn’t allow that to happen. Therefore, he was only featuring on records, but never really signed to the label. Though he followed 50 Cent around for a while.

Now in 2022 he suddenly said his in Los Angles and signed to Death Row Records. The company which was in a vicious battle with Bad Boy Records in the 1990s. That infamous battle of the most prolific MCs Notorious B.I.G of Bad Boy and Tupac Shakur of Death Row. This will always signify that era and the outcome of these records labels.

So, that the former Bad Boy rapper claims or alleges to be signed to Death Row is sort of a big deal. The Death Row today is owned by Snoop Dogg. That would be a weird start to go back in time and sign an irrelevant rapper. It isn’t like Mase has made any records worthy of the streaming era. His only talked about because of interviews and sudden outrageous acts.

The 46 year rapper and former Pastor is acting all out. It is like he has to create fuzz. Just like he did with the contract situation of Fivio Foreign lately. Now he does this and says his signed. The man who wasn’t vouched to go to G Unit. What will he do at Death Row in 2022? What value would Snoop see in Mase?

Mase would fit a tax-write off and a liability, but not a credible project. There only been two projects dropped from the new Death Row and they have both been Snoop Dogg heavy. The “Bacc on Death Row” and the Death Row Summer Album. So, in 2022 the releases and the production of music has been in the lane of the label in the past. Which Mase isn’t fitting into or sounds just outlandish really.

Ma$e just wants the vibes, to be the talk of the town and be the centre of the universe again. Surely must miss the days of “Harlem World” but those days are long gone. That is proven and his momentum is gone. Unless, he all of a sudden makes a hit independently and it’s played everywhere. However, I don’t see that coming anytime soon.

I’m just wondering if he gets anything out of it. Yes, it create headlines and little press, but not something worthwhile. Instead of trying to create proper records and tracks on wax. His just being a loudmouth.

What is striking at one point he was on the trajectory of something great within the Bad Boy era. He instead wasted that and has since then worked to get back to that. Which seems impossible and the fad has moved on. That’s why even Diddy had to reinvent himself and his record label even went poppy with the likes of Danity Kane at one point.

So, Mase should either become an record-label executive in his own rights or try to drop songs that matters. Though he doesn’t seem capable of either things. Since, the last few weeks only been a shit-show. Not a good look, but then again. We are talking about him. Peace.

Opinion: Will Snoop Dogg be able to revive the Death Row?

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. aka Snoop Dogg aka Uncle Snoop has acquired the legendary Hip Hop record label Death Row for an undisclosed amount. For a hot minute the Toy Company Hasbro owned it before selling to the Blackstone Group, which today is revealed has sold to the Hip Hop Legend, entrepreneur and actor Snoop Dogg, which is a unique day for anyone who follows or has interests in this.

Snoop has bought the label, which made him prominent and gave him a career in the first. The record label where he dropped albums, features and part-took in the G-Funk and Gangsta Rap era of the 1990s, which was dominated by Death Row. That’s because of its rooster of skilled MCs, Producers and genius marketing, which made the LPs, Singles and everything was selling.

The whole Death Row was smoking fire. All artists at some point became wealthy and could get good royalties. It was the place to be and to prosper. However, the whole premise of the gangster and thug life was also it’s downfall. As the co-founders split, court-cases, shady-business practices and the early demise and unresolved killing of Tupac Shakur has always followed the label. Therefore, it is special that Snoop buys it and possibly revives it.

As Daz Dillinger sued the label to get his ends. Dr. Dre left the label and started Aftermath. Crooked I was left behind and Kurupt had to return. There been so many stories and backstabbing, as the label lost relevance and others took it’s place in hip hop. However, the era and the classic albums lives on. The discography and the catalogue of the Record Label must be one of the unique assets and recordings, which will stand the test of time.

However, Snoop has big shoes to fill and have to market the label in new era. Which the labels and the record companies are fighting for revenue in new aspects, as the streaming and short-sighted fandoms quickly moves. The quickly produced and released tracks to stay relevant, as well as the social media push is more vital than ever. It is like another world since the first inception of Death Row.

Snoop has connections and is a beloved character now. Who can sell and be used in any sort of product. That’s why he has voiced over GPS Systems to be recently selling BIC Lighters. Therefore, you know his good at branding and selling his character at this point.

However, the Death Row to be revived… it need both the spirit of the past and also new breed of acts to be viable. That will be a refreshing thing. As the West-Coast needs a star on the horizon. Yes, Kendrick Lamar is the biggest name, but his not in the realm of Death Row. K.Dot is more in is his own lane and closer to J. Cole’s of the world. Nothing wrong with that, but that is the reality here. The Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) brought similarities to it, but not as successful as Death Row. However, who could think of getting into those levels of success and respectability…

Death Row doesn’t have to be big, but the ones remembering it. It was everywhere and the artists was everything. They were inspirational and was it. Not just some random blokes, but the rappers and MCs who inspired you to write and imagine their world.

Let’s hope Snoop Dogg will bring some of it back with the purchase of Death Row. He is seemingly the one and his team can bring the best out of it. There is a need for it.

Now am just waiting for THA ROW to return and hear new tales of that THUG LIFE. Peace.

Skeet Skeet Skeet: Stormy Daniels Sues President Trump!

“Fish in another man’s pond and you will catch crabs.” – Habeeb Akande

The affair of the past that continues to haunt President Donald J. Trump, who had a wife at the time who was his third, Melania Trump, who happen to give birth to Barron Trump. The youngest of his kids. So in the days and months as she was pregnant and was with his child. The now President couldn’t hold his fingers away from woman. Now the “Stormy Daniels” Affair is spawning, as the Porn Star has sued Trump and his Trump Organization. She is named Stephanie Clifford and has apparent reasons for suing the President. As I will detail the juicy part of this, since any President who has a past with a Porn Star should be careful. Especially, when you have used Bill Clinton’s womanizing efforts in his own campaign. He should be extra careful to address others for what they did. I say that, because you cannot speak of loyalty and of loving woman, and then cheat on your own wife. We knew that was how the President met his Second Wife Marla. The one before Melanie, the first lady now.

So this is seriousness, as the adultery should be shown and be admitted, as the President cannot talk ethics and how to be right, when he acts against the beliefs he spews in public. You cannot speak of wanting to make the world better for the poor and give tax-breaks to the rich. You cannot speak of abstinence and respect of marriage. Than later show that in your past, you have broken the codes, you have had secret relationships and you have acted against your wife. When she needed you most. That is what the President has done. And his people has in vile attempts tried to cover it up.

Now Stephanie is shedding light on the affair and it really shows how conning this man is and how the people around him act. They are letting him get away and giving him way to betray his own wife. He even had a new nickname David Dennison. Like he was a figure out of a bad sitcom. “Mister Dennison, how you doin’?”.

The intimate relationship begun in 2006 and lasted into 2007. The allegations of illegal affairs isn’t in the sense of adultery, but the usage of the fixer and personal lawyer Michael Cohen, who made a “hush agreement” so Clifford wouldn’t disclose the matter to the public. During the time of the Presidential Campaign. That Contract was made by Cohen on 17^th October 2016, this agreement used the alias that both were assigned, Trump aka Dennison and Clifford aka Peterson. This contract between the parties was signed on 28^th October 2016. However, Trump never signed the contract, therefore, it is now alleged the Hush Agreement is null and void. Meaning, the reason for the contract isn’t there, because Trump didn’t verify his association with the agreement made between Clifford and Cohen.

Later the money was wired and stopped Clifford from disclosing the relationship to the media. However, Cohen wrote a wrongful and issued a Statement regarding the relationship to the Media. Even after this Cohen has continued to pursuit the goal of silencing Clifford from talking about it. Cohen even has sued her in Los Angeles. This proves that even after the agreement was signed, the lawyer and fixer of Trump has done what he could to silence her. It seems typical as the bullying of Trump is also being used by his lawyer. Who has also paid her with questionable funds and within the time of the Campaign. That Cohen even used a Trust Fund to Wire the money to Clifford. It shows how far the Trump Organization and Trump himself went to distance himself. To a point where he even didn’t sign the agreement. Which now seems foolish, because all parties hasn’t signed and made the agreement valid.

While Cohen went public and incorrectly misused funds through a trust-fund, while also coming out a wrongful public statement. This all shows that Trump and his partners wanted the relationship hidden and used a small sum of cash to silence the Porn Star. However, he didn’t accept the Hush Agreement or thought of the consequences of not signing it.

The storm is not over, but the tide is rising and the drama around the White House is far from over. Since even a Porn Star sues the Family Values President, the Conservative and the candidate for the Evangelical Christian Political Juggernaut in the United States. If hypocrisy is ever really defined, somewhere there, you have it. Mr. Pimp Named Slickback aka Donald Trump is at it and was it. His womanizing ways is now haunting him. Peace.

Similarities between “A Pimp Named Slickback” and the Presidential Candidate Donald Trump!

A Pimp Named Slickback: [reciting prayer] “Lord, please pray for the soul of this bitch. And guide my pimp hand and make it strong, Lord. So that she might learn a ho’s place. Amen” “The Boondocks: Guess Hoe’s Coming to Dinner (#1.3)” (2005).

I am going back to fiction to explain the actions and words of Donald Trump, his misbehaving streak is abnormal as he has been a public figure and reality-show figure together with selling made-up businesses that isn’t real as well. Therefore his Trump Organizations gone to licensing instead of building something that matters in the recent decade.

When we speak about that, the recent leaks of Donald Trump said this in 2005:

“I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it” (…) “I did try and f— her. She was married” (…) “And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture” (…) “I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married” (…) “Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look” (…) “I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her” (…) “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait” (…) “And when you’re a star, they let you do it” (…) “You can do anything” (…) “Grab them by the p—y” (…) You can do anything” (Fahrenthold, 2016).

In another Howard Stern interview in 2005 on Miss Universe:

“In an April 2005 episode, Stern asked Trump if there was ever a time when he had sex with Miss Universe or Miss USA contestants. “I never comment on things like that,” Trump answered” (…) “It could be a conflict of interest,” Trump said. “But, you know, it’s the kind of thing you worry about later, you tend to think about the conflict a little bit later on.” (…) “Well, what you could also say is that, as the owner of the pageant, it’s your obligation to do that,” Trump said, before discussing how he got away with going backstage when the contestants were naked. “Well, I’ll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I’ll go backstage and everyone’s getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it,” Trump said. “You know, I’m inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good.” (CNN Politics, 2016).

We know it is worrying when I can take a fictional character like Pimp Named Slickback from the Boondock and find the similar attitude towards woman. The character that is made in the vision of Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Doggy Dog aka Snoop Lion. That isn’t something the Republican National Committee or Republican Party would envision for their Presidential Nominee before the Presidential ballots happening in November 2016.

Why I say that is the way he talked about woman in a disrespectable way. It is a decade ago he said these things about the gender and we’re proud of being inspecting the woman of Miss Universe

He said this about his daughter Ivanka Trump at Howard Stern:

“They’re quite something, starting with numerous lascivious Trump comments about his daughter Ivanka. (For instance: “Can I say this? A piece of ass,” Stern asks about Ivanka. “Yeah,” her father replies.)” (Fallows, 2016).

The ones that thought Trump we’re a noble guy, a man who has a broken record caring about the persons he sells his products and businesses too, would care about anybody else than himself. That the Trump calling Mexicans rapist would care about the gender of woman shouldn’t be surprised.

On ABC News transcript from Interview with Rush Stephanopoulos:

“STEPHANOPOULOS (on camera): “So you’re not worried about Obama…”

TRUMP: “I won with…”

STEPHANOPOULOS: “– out there campaigning against you?”

TRUMP: “Look, you know what? Once we start, I think it’s going to be good. You know, Hillary Clinton, the only thing she’s got going, she plays the woman card 100 percent. I saw her in a speech, well Donald Trump spoke a little bit harshly to Megyn Kelly. Well, Megyn Kelly was really terrific. She called me and came up to my office. She wanted to make peace. And we did. We did. I mean, it was very nice. Some of the stuff is said as, you know, an entertainer, because I have The Apprentice, or some of it was said in fun with certain shows like Howard Stern, who is a friend of mine…”

STEPHANOPOULOS: “So, you’re not worried about the tapes of that coming back?”

TRUMP: “It comes back. I mean, look, what am I going to do? Everyone else thinks it. You know, these politicians, I watch the politicians, what they say behind the scenes makes whatever I said jokingly to Howard and other people like baby stuff. What they tell me behind the scenes talking about everything is far worse than anything that you’ve seen or you ever will see about me. And then they act like, oh, that’s so terrible. That’s so terrible. I mean, you know when it’s called? Give me a break. And I watch Hillary Clinton like she’s a baby. I mean, just look at what happens with her family. I watch Hillary Clinton like, oh, the way he talks to women, the way he talks to women, well — you know, take a look at her husband and what do you think he talks to women? So, when I watch her and she’s playing the women card so much and so loud. And frankly I think it’s her only chance of getting elected. You know what, listen, she’s going to get hit for it, because it’s not appropriate” (RUSH TRANSCRIPT FOR ‘THIS WEEK’ ON May 8, 2016).

He blames Hillary Clinton, his main competitor for being a woman. Her only promise for her campaign is her gender, not her career or her achievements in the Senate and as Secretary of State. That proves his chauvinism towards her and the attitude is old embedded in him. That the Republican candidate Trump at one point expected to get away with this because of his stature as a star.

Let’s see what Pimp Named Slickback said on the Boondocks TV show season 2 Episode:

“Tom: “I-I don’t think I need any help from (scoffs) someone like you”.

A Pimp named Slickback: “And by (scoffs) ‘someone like me’, you mean a pimp, a bad guy?

Tom: Now look, I’m not trying to insult you, I just don’t approve of what you people do to women. A Pimp named Slickback: (jeering) Ooooh! So I’m wrong! So I’m messed up! We’ll which one of us is the one missing a bitch, Tom? You don’t see me running around lookin’ for a bitch! I know where all of my bitches are, thank you very much! (dials number) Bitch where you at?! (ho speaks) I’m out here, gettin’ yo money! (Slickback retorts) That’s what the hell I thought, thank you grandma! (to Tom) Now look at you! Bitchless! Sans bitch, as the French in France would say!” (The Boondocks: Tom, Sarah and Usher [2.2]).

In another eposide he said this to Riley:

“A Pimp Named Slickback: I don’t think Homies Over Hoes is a sentiment that A Pimp Named Slickback can cosign, Riley. I mean don’t get me wrong. A Pimp Named Slickback would put a lot of things over a ho. Money over a ho? Always. Brand new gators over a ho? Absolutely. A turkey sandwich with just tomato? Guaranteed. But homies? Oh no. A Pimp Named Slickback don’t do shit for the homies. Let me reiterate. Don’t do shit for the homies. Unless the homie wanna walk that stroll and get that money, a homie ain’t gettin’ a goddamn thing. And the same goes for brothers, peeps, dudes, fellas, dunnies, comrades, whatever the fuck niggas is callin’ each other nowadays. Sound like some gay shit to me” (The Boondocks: The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2 [2.13]).

I hate to say this, but the belief in him and the attitudes towards woman is so similar, it is striking and Pimp Named Slickback isn’t a character I expected to find in the United States Presidential Candidate in 2016. I thought the world was better than this and the equality was in another state than it apparently is.

That comes from a Presidential Candidate Donald Trump can behave and say this about woman and stay by it; the consistence disrespect of the gender and even his own daughter Ivanka.  And that he sounds like a fictional character. That he acts the same way about woman like a pimping character and see’s woman the same way.

This is something all the ones that all of a sudden went away from him, these is a lot of old interviews. It’s not like it is fresh. These interviews are old news, but blowing up now because it shows his character. This should be well known already for the people and the American Electorate. For some reason, it is apparently not!

Just as the Boondocks isn’t fresh and isn’t hot right now, the same should be a about a womanizer like a fictional character. This proves his lack of moral, not only as a xenophobic person now, but his true chauvinism towards woman; and that is disrespectful just like he did with the Mexicans when launched his Presidential Campaign and also his continuously attack on the Muslims and their faith. He cannot bare himself from attacking others that are non-white and complaining that America is in tatters and need his saving.

The same way he in the past went with his ways on how to treat woman, grade them into ten’s and look at them because he could get away it all because of his stature, instead of respecting them like equals.   

The Republicans are already aggravated towards immigrations, so this is the extension of this and proves the character of the Presidential Candidate that we’re elected and their vetting of the 17 selected by the Republican National Committee; Paul Ryan the Republic leader of the House, must feel bad for this bad press at his tenure and re-election bid for vouching for this womanizer. Peace.
