*Cam’ron and Ma$e launched the fifth season of their sports and entertainment show, It Is What It Is, on Sept. 2, with Ma$e surprising viewers by freestyling over the instrumental for Common’s “The Corner.”
“South Beach Murda, man, my crew come through, every time I drop the top, my roof come too, got no big homies, we know who runs who, livest n**ga ever from the 2-1…,” Ma$e stated in the show’s opening, per Revolt. Watch the moment via the YouTube clip above.
We reported earlier that Ma$e stated he has no regrets about leaving the rap scene at the height of his career in the late 90s.
The rapper-turned-preacher retired from the industry in 1999 to pursue ordainment as a minister. During a previous episode of It Is What It Is, Ma$e reflected on his departure from Diddy’s Bad Boy label. He also recounted how he managed to evade the difficulties encountered by his fellow artists.
Bad Boy artist Shyne spent nearly nine years in prison for a shooting that Diddy allegedly committed. As Hip Hop DX reports, in 2013, rapper Loon was sentenced to prison on drug charges. Meanwhile, Diddy is currently facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits.
“Everything now that we see playing out was all the things I escaped,” Ma$e said before mentioning Shyne, the Loon, Diddy, and late rappers Craig Mack (who died at age 37) and Biggie Smalls (fatally shot at 24).
Ma$e noted that while his decision to quit the music industry “cost me money,” he also called it “destiny.”
“See, that’s why it’s destiny — you asked me the right question, we at the right place,” he said on the podcast. “This is how it’s meant to go, man.”
