Masta Ace’s 3-Album Run w/ Masta Ace | Ep. 155

Yo yo yo, you braniac dumb-dumbs, bust the scientifical, approach
to the course and the force is sen-trif-i-cal! Yes people, today
we’re talking about a man who flows with the greatest ease, who
never did care about the haters, please - rap legend Masta Ace is
in the hot seat once again to talk about his incredible 1990s
output of ‘SlaughtaHouse’ (1993), ‘Sittin’ On Chrome’ (1995) and
‘Disposable Arts’ (2001)
