Murda Ma$e's Verse from "300 Shots"

Philippians 3:10

MATURE • MENTOR • MINISTER • MAINTAIN • INVESTING IN BLACK FUTURES THRU STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

 * While surprised by the "conversion" of Mason Betha, please be aware that YUBM 
  Ministries stands unequivocally opposed to his "total life prosperity" perspective.

Based on Ma$e's solo verse in this song (other G-Unit artists are also in the cut), it appears he's back to his old self.  It appears he's weighed the claim of the Lord Jesus on his life and sensed that being back in the game is a move that God would approve (such is the nature of neo-Gnostic prosperity doctrine). 

Song: "300 Shots"
Artist: G-Unit ( including Murda Ma$e ["Pastor Mason Betha" ] )
Album: Mixtape
Released: 2005

[ Murder Mase - Verse 3 ]

You know you messin' with a n***a that do this for a livin' 
Put two in the street while there's two in the kitchen 
Put guns in n***as mouth like Who's u dissin'? 
We give for they knew who u was missin, n***a 
You can either have a gun at the chain, or one at the brain 
I have hoes back of the church, hummin' ya name 
Even then I feel it's like cheat my men 
Watch God leave the sky to come and greet my men 
I pop n****s in the chest they never breathe again 
Route 20 in the fitness see the streets again 
What's a man try'n-a wake up who can't wake up? 
Back guards face straight up with kinds of make up 
Cuz every time I run, scream, pop a 3-80 
I hear a mother scream Please not my baby 
Quick as I see its you, bullets will hit you, boy 
You're nobody so no one will miss you 
Queens start to kickin' it's too much to get through 
Leave a n***a leakin' like an Indian ritual 
Who wanna run up on me they get known quick 
I blackout then snatch your chrome clique 
Leavin' jail in '91, made I'm homesick 
Move Pow-Fu like a Farrakhan atonement 
Raised in, caged in, let my ways spin 
Face wrapped up like a Saudi Arabian

The Error of Balaam

Someone wrote to tell me he had recently visited Ma$e's church (ca. May 2006) and said he witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit through Ma$e's preaching.  My response:

Unfortunately, I cannot agree with the logic of your defense of Ma$on Betha's ministry.  James 3:10-11 indicates that praise and cursing coming out of the same mouth cannot be, nor can a spring produce both fresh water and salt water (the whole chapter is kind of rough when you lay it alongside of Ma$e's ministry).  Don't know if you've listened to Ma$e's recent material (done with G-Unit), but frankly such unholy material is totally out of bounds for someone claiming to be a messenger of a Holy God.  If I apply the logic of your defense to Balaam (who spoke for God also), then that means I'd have to take his life as a positive example as well.  I can't — and won't.  Look at what happened to him and the condemnation he received (2 Peter 2:15, Jude 11).  He was a prophet for profit, and we learn later in Numbers that he was instrumental in leading the Israelites into sexual immorality (Numbers 31:16).  The dollar sign in Ma$e's name is purposely placed and an excellent indicator of what he's all about.  Personally, I don't think Christ is all about the $$$ the way a lot of people today are.

  Like most people, I too am a bit baffled by the mixed messages being sent by Mason Betha in 
 deciding to return to rapping, especially after indicating he wanted to do ministry so he could  
 "undo the damage" he had done while in the world as a secular artist. The jury is still out, and 
  I guess time will tell where he's trying to go with this.  Meanwhile the hip-hop industry is lit up 
  with delight and expectation, wondering what this former Bad Boy's next move is gonna be.   
 Turns out it wouldn't be Bad Boy, but the G-Unit show which Ma$e has thrown his lot in with.
