Rap is a genre of music in which performers can quickly stop being flavour of the month.
This can be because the sound that they have is no longer current, the way they rhyme or the subject matter is no longer 'cool' or they go mainstream and never really have a core audience.
This has never been the case for Masta Ace, he has just always been a rap fans rapper.
If you have listened to rap music in the last 20 years you will have heard of Masta Ace, he has enough 'underground' hits to have your head nodding until it almost falls off.
Born to Ride, Beautiful, Brooklyn Masala. They where all there.
If he keeps on coming over I will keep going, as he is great example of how rap can be a vibrant and relevant live experience.
No hype man needed if you have the talent to move the crowd.
This was rap music at its finest in venue which tests every performer skills
