Just a few days ago, rumors began circulating that Rick Ross has his sights on adding Ma$e to the Maybach Music Group empire. Lord knows (see what we did there?) Ma$e could use the check right about now. Would Ma$e be a good fit at MMG? Would the Bawse loan him that $125K? Will Ma$e perform his verse from "Mo Money Mo Problems"?

Sheek Louch borrows Lloyd Banks "Shock The World" instrumental to lay some heavy bars on.

"Police pull me over like they know I got a key(kilo) in it/But sorry officer, I don't even got a key in it/push button start-up..."

Maybe we might get another L.O.X album one day when they all get some contractual freedom but for know Sheek goes in.

"All three dimensions is illmatic, no skinny jeans or face tatted, been nice since Mase had it."

Debut Rap Albums To Go No. 1

J. Cole entered an elite class when his debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Believe it or not, most of your favorite rappers didn't land at the top spot when their first album hits the stores.

Not Jay-Z, not Nas, not Eminem, not even Tupac and Biggie.

Check out the next pages, as we list the rappers whose debut albums hit the top of the charts.

Back in the days, when someone took your style it was war. DMX and K-Solo beefed over the spellbound flow, Tupac claimed Biggie stole his morbid content and when Fabolous came out, Mase had his issues with the lazy punchline-heavy delivery of the BK rapper.

But it's a new day and although Finally Famous emcee Big Sean is supposedly credited with the "one word punchline" flow that seems to have every artist "getting down...basement," Drake stole the spotlight as the originator.

Sean, however isn't mad nor is he making a brazen attempt to set the record straight, but on Big Boy's radio show he did let fans know where the style came from.

On his mixtape in 2009, the Detroit emcee recited, "I'm supa dupa troopa/Used to the bottom, scuba...I just gave them line after line after line, barcode."

After some prodding, he admitted a tad bit of saltiness in the beginning, “At first, I was like, ‘Man, this crazy! Everybody doing this!' But then I thought about it and I was like, that's not the way to be. You gotta keep it G, man. G's don't get mad. G's is like, that's what it is. They congratulate you. I changed the game, so I'ma keep changing the game. It is what it is.”

Yes we all know Big Sean is a G and even though a war between him and Drake would have been painfully entertaining, lucky for us they are cordial and cool.

He claims Drizzy gave him his props for originating the flow and they just spoke recently. See for yourself how Big Sean breaks it down.

Harlemite Cam'ron has some choice words for former partner in rhyme Ma$e-yes again.

According to published reports, Killa Cam is so upset about Ma$e not attending Harlem pal and Harlem World member Huddy 6's funeral, so much so that he not only took to Twitter but also created a diss record aimed at the former Bad Boy.

According to Cam, Ma$e missing Huddy's funeral was the last straw for their friendship. Via Twitter, he had this to say in response to a fan's question about Ma$e's attendance:

"h*ll no dat f**kin sucka a** N***a ."

In case the message wasn't loud and clear, Cam had this to say in his Huddy 6 memorial track.

As previously reported, Cam'ron dropped a song for his fallen friend  “Huddy 6”, but no one knew why he decided to take shots as Ma$e until now.

" Where is Betha at, I'm like f--k Mase...When Hud's car crashed,damn I'm like not again. He invented words like 'curve' and 'poppington.' What up Tintin aka 6man, you know your family can lean on me like a kickstand."

Well, it seems as if the Dipset is back to their old selves, just waiting on the Jay Z diss and it will be 2005 all over again-ah the stagnant stage of creativity..don't you just love it.

“Jay-Z just made us look real good.  Jay-Z just sold 530,000 so, still looking good. Whenever anybody out it New York doing over half a Mil in a week, it's still available.”

Some may make the argument that Cam'Ron and the Diplomats making the move to Roc-A-Fella was the catalyst to the empire crumbling.  The issues between Jay-Z and Cam'Ron seemed to be magnified with Dame Dash appearing to side with his Harlem family.

Years later, Cam'Ron may not be singing a new tune in regards to his relationship with Jay, but he does realize the fact that Jay has created an aura for the state of New York to remain a top contender in the grand scheme of Hip Hop.

The sales of The Blueprint III may have been a higher step for the career of Jigga, but it is also a representation of New York.  To say that the rapper carried the state on his back is only one way to look at it, as his slogan “Men lie, women lie, numbers don't” is a self indicator.

Speaking with hiphopbeef, Cam also touched on the potential of aligning himself back up with Mase and the possibility of doing an album together almost going back to the past when they were part of the group Children of the Corn.

Breaking fashion with his pink epidemic, Cam provides insight on the skinny jean movement along with many other things.

Mase also revealed that he was A&Ring Montana's upcoming project which will be dropping on Akon's label Konvict Music.

Checkout the footage from “Cocaine City” below as well as more videos on Hip-Hop Wired.

“Now Ma$e be the man that's never in his hood/ Yeah he wear a ring but he still like wood/ Girl in his eyes you the baddest but he dates men on the low, he's a …”

As Hip-Hop Wired was the first to report, Legacy The Jesus, a former member of Ma$e's congregation, had some choice words for the “false prophet” as he accused him of deceiving his congregation.

After catching the attention of several other media outlets including BET, XM Radio, Rickey Smiley and Atlanta's V-103's Ryan Cameron, Mase still dodged several dead on questions regarding his gangsta pastoral ways.

Putting more pressure on Pastor Betha to either pick the church or the streets and rap because “he can't do both,” Legacy has released a diss track to his former spiritual advisor. A follow up to his previous song “Eviction” which was more of a light hearted vent for his disgust with Ma$e, this time he really went in and lifted up the sheets.

On the newly released “3 Strikes,” Legacy even questions Ma$e's sexuality with bars like:

“Now Ma$e be the man that's never in his hood/ Yeah he wear a ring but he still like wood/ Girl in his eyes you the baddest but he dates men on the low, he's a …”

The lyrical assault then continues with:

“…You ain't got no goons, those are church boys behind you/ Cam and Jim Jones ain't gone never walk beside you…”

While many have backed away from tackling the elephant in the room when it comes to Ma$e, Legacy pulls back the curtain and steps to it head on.

“I'm just addressing what everybody wanna know. Who are you man? First you a rapper. Then you a pastor. Now you a gangsta. Come on dawg, you are confused. You don't know what set to claim… You don't even know if you like boys or girls. This dude is a phony. You can't open up 10 churches talking about you spraying and smoking piff on a plane and switching dames. Ya'll gotta stop listening to music man and listen to the lyrics. This dude is fake and I'm gonna expose you… and I'm just getting started.”

Peep the track below:

"3 Strikes"

“It's amazing how when I get around n*ggas, it's all good, when I leave, n*ggas do all their secret talking.” 

The second return of Harlem rapper Mase has been one that has baffled fans and artists alike as the former Bad Boy artist has changed his skin on many occasions from rapper to pastor to rapper as if he was on the fence in terms of which lifestyle he preferred to embrace. 

Since his second arrival, he has squashed his beef with Cam'Ron and Jim Jones, given the ability to work with other artists through a paperwork signing with Diddy and has ultimately been gearing up to hit the music scene once again. 

Most recently, the rapper dropped a mixtape with 5 different DJs titled, I Do the Impossible. 

Catching up with DJ Drama last Friday on Shade 45, Betha spoke on the shady business that happened behind closed doors with particular people when he tried to come back the first time.

That's when he tried to have people “Breathe, Stretch, Shake”, but some had to just let that one go. 

“Every time I get involved with somebody, I'm good.  When I get out of business with everybody, I'm not good.  Anytime somebody can make money with me, they big the homie up.  Every time n*ggas can't get money with me, they throw their little shots at me.  That lets you know.  For ten 10 years, I haven't been on the scene, I don't sell cologne, I don't sell sneakers, I don't sell no video games, I don't sell music and I'm still one of the hottest topics anywhere you go.” 

The rapper also spoke on his brief stint with 50 Cent and G-Unit where he was scrutinized and labeled as being fake for “ditching” his religious teachings and being engulfed by the gun and drug rap revolutionized by Mr. Jackson.

“Me and Fif spoke in 2007 I think.  I think, realistically, a lot of larceny was thrown in that.  People didn't really see me get a shot.  Fif ain't do nothin' but take me on the road and gave me exposure and gave me the opportunity to do what I'm about to do now.  I guarantee I'm about to burn it down.”

The deal was for a moment as 50 stated that Diddy wasn't willing to compromise which resulted in Mase parting with G-Unit Records. 

“I think a lot of things were said when I wasn't there that swayed the deal away from happening and Fif is his own man, he made his own decision.  I'm glad he made the decision he made because now this is the destiny.  The destiny was for me to stand on my own and burn the joint down and give ni**as that 9 months that Tupac gave them.”    

Now on his own, the rapper seems to be traveling his own road and now has clarity as to which path he wants to lead in his musical career.  Welcome back…again.

His reign on the boob tube begins Thursday and runs until Monday. On the first day of his co-hosting duties, the network will air the second installment of their “Food For Thought” program. The program first premiered in September and featured Jay-Z as the subject of interviews with industry elite.

Much like his foe's special, 50 will be interviewed by Hot 97's Angie Martinez, sports commentator, Stephen A. Smith and music journalist, Harry Allen at Bobby Van's in New York City.

Fif will dive into conversation with the trio about various topics including his alleged drop in income, his past relationship with Vivica Fox and of course Before I Self Destruct.

According to a press release, no topic is off limits so be on the lookout for shots to be fired at Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Fat Joe and whoever else 50 decides he doesn't like that day.

BET's “Food For Thought: A Conversation With 50 Cent” airs Thursday at 8:00 p.m
