WHAT'S UP WITH MASE? (PART 1).

I have been trying to figure out MASE for a while now and i just don't get the dude. He became a devoted christian in 1999 and left his sinful ways, after being signed to p.diddy's bad boy record label from 1996-1999, when he retired. He dropped two albums, harlem world(97) and double-up(99), during his stint with puffy. Then in 1999 he retired from rap and became 'pastor mase'.
He dissapeared from the rap scene and became a full time preacher. He even had a christian show on a christian cable channel airing for a period of time.
In 2004, mase re-surfaced with another rap album under bad boy records. Although he didn't rap with profanity, it definately wasn't a christian rap cd.
From then on, i started wondering what was up with the dude. Then he was signed to 50cent's label, g-unit, a group/clique/label. A group that had been known to be pro-violence. He even made a diss song directed at loön, a rapper on the bad boy roster, acquising him of stealing his flow.
