The first MAS Exchange Blog!

So, here we go, the first MAS Exchange topic.
Now, being that it is Award time, as the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards are quickly approaching, MAS decided that we were obligated to crash the party, MAS Style. We decided to create three categories to vote from, in addition to honoring those legends of their field. This year we chose music, old and new. Now, you might be wondering, we just had he Grammy’s, man. True, but here at MAS Exchange we are all about breaking the rules while having a whole lot of fun along the way (switch things up. We have to keep you guessing. If we don’t, where’s the fun in it all). Each time a big awards ceremony occurs; another category will be added, ranging from all fields and business, along with a few funny to boot. So, here are the nominees…to vote just look to the right of the MAS Exchange page, cast your vote and have a ball. The red carpet here is laid out for you.
The nominees are...

MAS Exchange Honors Mary J Blige!


Honoring Artist: Mary J. Blidge


From the sultry sound of Billie Holiday, or the beautiful blues of Sarah Vaughn, to the elegant, slick scats of Ella Fitzgerald, there is always a distinct trail from the innovators to those destine to innovate, those who, as others before them, are set to carve their names in time.
Mary J. Blige is no exception!
Born in Bronx, NY, Mary is no stranger to high, soulful vocals and urban style and grace. She was heavily involved in her church choirs, singing every since she was a child but it was not until she worked with none other than history making producer, Shawn Puffy Combs, that she would truly make her mark; originally working as a back up singer for R-Kelly (If you go back to old You-Tube footage you might just see her in the background).
With her debuted album, “What’s the 411,” Mary exploded onto the music scene. Such hits as “Real Love,” “What’s the 411,” “You Remind Me” and "Sweet Thing," to name a few, instantly became classic in the music world. In fact, the hip-hop album had such an impact on urban America that a new music genre was created. Mary J was now the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul!,” a smooth infusion of hip-hop and soul music.
Now, over twenty years later Mary’s greatness blossoms once again with her new album, “Stronger,” her radio wave hit song garnering the same name (The song is also part of the Lebron James Autobigophy film, “More Than A Game,” soundtrack).
Bottom line. Mary’s greatness is a mark in music history than isn’t going anywhere and we, here at MAS Exchange honored the legend, “The Queen of Hip_Hop/Soul" Ms. Mary J. Bilge!”

Posted By Arroyocus Last Year!

Hey all Arroyocus here,,,and as mentioned before in the description of this page,,,we are hear to share opinions ,and we welcome all opinions whether or not they agree with us. With that I will open up with one of my all time favorite flicks,,,and I always catch a lot of heat for this one,,,but I gotta say ,,,I loved the Matrix. I will ,before going further as to why,admit that the first part was the best of the series,and as it went on it seemed to become more of an introspective ,stoners distorted views and opinions of the world and humanity in general ,which if you were never into ,the stoner part I mean, you probably are not going to get. The Matrix was to me the best movie of its genre, which if I had to name, it would be classified as sci-fi action. In reality it was the perfect blend of action,drama,suspense,and romance,few movies can equal or even rival this accomplishment. Furthermore, the Matrix had alot of heart, at its core when you strip away all the cool fight scenes and digital effects ,you have a basic human story. The story being that of believing in yourself even when faced with the toughest challenges, knowing and believeing that you can accomplish anything thats what its all about. Having been a catholic school student for a good portion of my youth ,I really appreciated the direct corralation between the film and the story of Christ. Neo ,the one ,the savior of mankind, Trinity, the name of the holy three, Morpheus the all seeing father, all of these characters represent very strong religious figures,even the city of Zion, according to the sciptures of the Koran its the promised land. I always appreciate stories with deep meanings taken from history or factual events. This entire idea for a story is so incredible , pure genius, makes me wish I had thought of it. Well there you have it folks just my opinion, lemme know what you guys think . Arroyocus out,,,but not ova,,,,,

What Is "The MAS Exchange?"

What is it you ask? Well here at MAS Media Studios we are always having different discussions ranging from favorite rapper to what's the best movie line! For that reason, we decided to put a section on the site just for that and call it...you guessed it, "The MAS Exchange!"
Here you'll get the chance to pick who would win between Mike Tyson or Ali in their prime. Or who is better Michael or Kobe! (MICHAEL!)

Now, we don't want you to simply agree (God knows we rarely do that) but we would love to know what your true view of the topic is, and challenge us on ours. We welcome all viewpoints. There are no wrong opinions, just the lack of ones. So put on your debating boxing gloves and come out swinging! We figure, we let the strongest viewpoint win!
