There are rumors that suggest that Mase is returning to the music front with a deal through Maybach Music/Warner Bros. Records. Personally I think Mase needs to #sitdown. Enough is enough! Nicki Minaj is reportedly shooting the video for her single; "Right By My Side" featuring Chris Brown. What are the chances of us seeing the video though? Slim to none. In other Chris Brown news; Chris Brown is shooting the video to his newest single; "Sweet Love".

Brandy hooked up with Mase for her hit single; "Top Of The World" from her hit album; "Never Say Never" released back in 1998. After the collaboration; there were reports that Brandy & Mase were an item or at least did the do.

Many years ago I used to own this album and whatever happened to it is anyone's guess. We all have had albums that we no longer have and we really don't know what happened to them. I think though I ended up giving a lot of album away over the years. Anyway Mase hit the scene with his debut album, "Harlem World" in 1997. I'm sitting here trying to remember it and a few songs stick out in my head. One of the things I do remember is the introduction of The Mad Rapper who was Bad Boy producer Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie. He was pretty annoying to me. He also produced most of this album alongside Diddy and Jermaine Dupri. The single "Feels So Good" and "What U Want" featuring Total were hits. There was the inclusion of DMX and The Lox on "24 Hours To Live". There is the gawd awful singing on "Jealous Guy"; the album's closing track. Lil' Kim appears on "Will They Die 4 U" which is one of the album's s...

Diddy Talks Mase Returning To Rap...Again! Mase has been talking lately about trying to work out a deal with Diddy. He even rapped about renegotiating with Chairman Combs in his song “Get It” with Cam’ron: ” ‘Mase, you come back if you get 50 percent?’/ I’m like, ‘Nah, if I come back I need Diddy percent.’ ” Diddy said that he and Mase have been talking, but nothing is solid as far as a Mase project on Bad Boy. “Mase has called me,” Diddy told us. “We’ve spoken. He’s basically said, ‘Just keep your...

K. Michelle is relatively new to the music scene but that is not stopping her from speaking out already. The singer speaks out on R&B singers and their need to do anything just for attention. She does have a point and I totally agree with her. If your not familiar with K. Michelle, she is signed to Jive Records. She has a single out called, "Self Made" which features Trina or Gucci Mane(depending on which version radio plays). On an even more interesting note, K. Michelle made claims that Pastor Mase hit on her while he was married! Hmmm ---------------- Now playing: Mary J. Blige Feat. Jadakiss - Sexy via FoxyTunes

Still, Mase said that he knows nothing of about contemporary rappers and needed help finding out Hip-Hop's top talents. "I asked my lil' nephew and said,...
