“Before I got signed to Bad Boy, I grew up listening to Snoop and Tupac...” — Mase Quote

“Before I got signed to Bad Boy, I grew up listening to Snoop and Tupac and my hood was all Tupac driven.”

“With me, I always try to give my all to my hood, put my hood on my skin, man. I love it.”

“I'm not trying to live anybody else's life.”

“My core is grime. But I make all kinds of music. Take Picasso. He could paint whatever way he liked. He could do a little ting with a felt tip if he wanted to - it's still going to be a bad boy Picasso at the end.”

“My acting teacher always told us the script should be crumpled up and covered in coffee stains and peanut butter smudges - you should have that bad boy on you at all times.”

“The bad boy: always more fun.”
