Ma$e~
|
I love rap.I think its the best music.I especially like Ma$e and Puff Daddy!I have an update on Ma$e:
The shoot for Mase's video,"Lookin' at Me",is happening in a local that comes pretty close to paradise:sunny Malibu,CA.The director
,McG,has created hip hop's version of Beach Blanket Bingo-brightcolors,retro mopeds
and girls in skintight bikins.Mase is cruising along the boardwalk in a white vintage sports car.Both phsically and mentally,this dude's come a long,long
way from the grim streets of Harlem NY,he survived as a kid.
"YMmmmmmm,why meee?" Mase asks me in the trademark monontone he raps in.Then he flashes the other thing he's known for:his deep
-dimpled,brilliant smile.Mase is decked out in a bright orange shirt and shorts,way oversized,the way he likes them! :)
"So,why you?",I reply."Cause I'm the people's choice",he laughs.I should say so.The hits just keep coming off his triple platinum debut,~Harlem World~.That CD is representative of the more
mainstream,less violent era of rap.Twenty-year-old Mase and his music aren't about cop killin',but chillin',and listeners are totally digging
it.Hanging with Mase,you realize he's got an infectious,upbeat spirit."I set the tone",Mase says of the video shoot."People look forward to me making thier day
brighter."It's a surprising attitude coming from someone who's had so much darkness in his life.
