tReNd aLeRt!

i just wanted to make you aware of a hot new trend in hip hop: ma$e references. allow me to demonstrate.


here is a song on drake's new album, called "worst behavior". skip ahead to about 2:30, and you'll hear his adaptation of a ma$e verse.


here it is, the first verse of notorious b.i.g.'s "mo money mo problems.


this morning, i was perusing the new pusha t album (thx djv), and i was all "ooh a song with kelly rowland....play!" i was real surprised to find that ma$e was also on the song, but it turns out its just pusha t doing a ma$e impression. skip to 1:25 to hear his take on...


...ma$e's classic "what you want" (skip to 1:35).


and just for good measure, you might remember kanye's ma$e reference on "cold" a couple years back, borrowing the opening line from...


... "lookin' at me".

there you have it. ma$e = still hot in 2013! celebrate your friday with harlem world!
