Book Description

Imagine having it all: money, celebrity, success. Imagine leaving it all behind -- to answer a higher calling.

Sparked by his work with Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment, Mason "Mase" Betha's meteoric rise to fame is one of rap's great success stories. In addition to performing on such hit singles as 112's "Only You," Puffy's "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money, Mo Problems," and Mariah Carey's "Honey," Mase sky-rocketed as a solo artist whose
languid vocal style set him apart. His debut album, Harlem World, went platinum and his next album, Double Up, was eagerly
awaited. But just as he was poised to sign a multimillion-dollar deal with Bad Boy, Mase walked away.

Mason Betha is now a pastor, inspirational speaker, and founder of a nondenominational group called S.A.N.E. (Saving a Nation
Endangered) Ministries. Having turned his back on stardom, he reveals in this fascinating memoir the rhyme and reason behind his choice to leave a glamorous life of extraordinary wealth and influence to become a pastor with a powerful message for America's youth. Thought-provoking and illuminating, Revelations is an undeniable testament to the enduring power of faith -- and to the limitless possibilities in a life transformed by God's guiding hand.

I'll tell you why he left the glamourous life......

He couldnt hang.....Nigga was scurred after he got his bling-bling ripped off in NYC at gunpoint......he ran hiding to the hills...and now he's a pastor? get the fuck outta here.....I can guarantee you that the book (in an attempt to cash in on his old fame) will not discuss the real reasons why he left the game.....Just remember, its hard as hell to be a rap star...and not everyone is cut out to hang with vultures at parties popping cris, showing bling-bling, and riding in Phat drop top sports cars.... when you cant figure out what your next new track is gonna be......

I'd like to read the book before I form an opinion, however I find it odd that the bio talks about how he walked away from fame and fortune to become a minister but he actually just seems to have traded the way he's making his fame and fortune.

I mean he ain't no country preacher getting paid $10 grand a year that's for sure.

Hmmmm. :upto:
