Ma$e Gets 'Politically Incorrect' About Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin Killing
Mason Betha, the founder of El Elyon International Church and Mason Betha Ministries, recently released a song about his frustrations with racial affairs in the United States titled "Politically Incorrect."
Betha, 39, has reportedly stopped pastoring his church to focus on the release of his music. While his previous song releases seemed fit for partying, his latest effort seems to be inspired by the Ferguson, Missouri black teenager Mike Brown who was killed by a police officer last month.
Betha, known in the hip-hop world as Ma$e, has raised some eyebrows in and out of the Christian community after he decided to return to mainstream rapping. However, it seems his "Politically Correct" song focuses less on partying and more on social injustice.

"I'm politically incorrect, don't make me wave this uzi at your neck. They say that I'm from generation X, ADD n----- don't know what I'm gon' do next," Ma$e rhymes in the song's hook. "I'm politically incorrect, I never sell my own out for a cheque. They say that I'm from generation X, ADD n----- don't know what I'm gon' do next."
The former spiritual leader seemed to chastise rappers who ignored the situation while speaking about slain teenagers Brown and Floridian Trayvon Martin, who was killed two years ago.
"Mike Brown strike down, everything is on site now, rapping n----- got nothing to say who gives a [expletive] about ya ice now," he rhymes. "Black boy and foreigner rainy night down in Florida dispatcher said don't follow him, how the hell he end up with the coroners? I don't get it!"
After appearing to enjoy the BET Award festivities earlier this summer, he was questioned by 92Q Jams DJ Konan about whether his church was upset with his upcoming rap career.
While promoting his upcoming album "Now We Even," Betha refused to talk about church business and chastised DJ Konan for bringing the subject up.
"Actually the interview right now is about music ... It's time for us as Black people to realize that we can do more than one thing," Betha previously told 92 Q Jams."I think to put someone in a box is somewhat narrow-minded."
