One of Mac Mall’s first singles was a song called “Ghetto Theme”, and the music video directed by Tupac Shakur in 1993. He was also longtime friends with the Mac Dre, who was his mentor early on in his career/ repairing their friendship a couple of years before Dre’s death.[clarification needed] He is one of the premier artists on Dre’s Thizz Entertainment label. He is also cousins to E-40 and B-Legit.
In 1993 Mac Mall released his debut album Illegal Business? on the Young Black Brotha label. He was just 15 years old at the time his debut album was released. Khayree Shaheed worked as the producer and the album featured Ray Luv, Mac Dre and The Mac.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keeps it in a mac fashion
I keeps it in a mac fashion
I keeps it in a mac fashion, mayn
I keeps it in a mac fashion
[Verse One: Mac Mall]
About the game
I'm not just another player in it
I live it and stay committed
To my mac'n religion
I be the high preist
Of this colt technique
Manipulate the whole world when i speak
Can't say that its easy
Free-sell the hot the blow of the weed
But only real mac's notcure the dream
I like the plastic niggas
That kind that trick they cash on bitches
Then wonder why she chosen on me
The one that break a bitch profesionally
A gang slave she could never be free
Think sobered to check my pedigree
Fool, I stay in they dome like weed
And I brought that breed
Gotta prayer when I'm poppin them pee's
I mac there for I am
2-short for a sucka or sweater fuck my program
But needless to say
Shade Trees try to get in my way
But you can only hate what you can't fade
More than half of y'all is bitch made
So fuck you and the small change dame that you saved
Man I mac a hoe to the grave
Pimp a bitch till she slit her wrist
Don't trip that's boss shit
Thou sha'll not rest hathan
Or trick in the name of Temptation
Never let a hood-rat hoe get nathan
But un-cut game
Hear what I'm sayin
[Chorus]
[Verse Two: Mac Mall]
I'm like a hustler hoes wed. dream
A broke hoe nightmare
And suckers sees it so i must declare war
I'm in and out pimp slaps and roller choke hoes
To anybody trying to step on my toes
Can't call yourself a Mac cause you wear a kango
It takes more than some jewerly and a pimped out loc
See it's, larger than the ladies
And its deeper than dough
It's a whole way of life that you must up-hold
Can't claim to be a playa
Then come to the rescue
Of a bitch cause she claiming that she loving on you
Can't trick low dollars
To make her look proper
Have her in Masquino, godgie and cabona
Nah nah mac mall
Won't slurge on y'all
All i want is your feddy and maybe bomb jaw
that's right big hitters don't quit till I tell you
Girl let me see you swallow 10 inches or better
Nigga mac's ain't they think war
And it don't matter where I'm at
I'm gonna keep it real true to my form
Keep it mac'n mayn
Keep it mac'n hoe
I'm gonna leave you how i found you bitch flat broke
So on that note

The song "Mac's Fashion" by Mac Mall features a chorus that repeats the phrase "I keeps it in a Mac fashion" throughout the song. The lyrics suggest that the rapper is deeply committed to the "mac'n religion," which involves manipulating the world with his words and actions. While he acknowledges that it's not always easy to be a successful "mac," he believes that only the authentic ones can achieve their dreams. Furthermore, he critiques those who claim to be macs but get caught up in the game, falling for hood-rat hoes and spending their money on jewelry and designer clothing.
In the first verse, the rapper establishes himself as a powerhouse in the mac'n game, with a pedigree that's beyond reproach. He asserts his dominance by demonstrating his control over women, both in and out of the game. He believes that he's superior to those who are "bitch-made," and encourages listeners to follow his lead and keep it mac'n. In the second verse, he warns against those who claim to be macs but don't really understand the game. He stresses that it takes more than just dressing and talking like a "playa" to be a real mac. To him, being a mac is a lifestyle, not just a persona.
Overall, "Mac's Fashion" is a song that glorifies the rap game and the "mac'n religion." Mac Mall portrays himself as a leader in this world, someone who knows the game inside and out and is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed as a "mac." He calls out those who don't have what it takes to be a true mac, and encourages listeners to adopt his worldview and keep it in a mac fashion.

About the game
The game referring to the pimp lifestyle
I'm not just another player in it
I'm fully immersed in the pimp lifestyle and not just playing the game
I live it and stay committed
I dedicate my life to living the pimp lifestyle and remain devoted to it
To my mac'n religion
Pimping is my way of life and I follow it religiously
I be the high preist
I am an expert in the pimp game and lead others
Of this colt technique
I am a master of the art of seduction and manipulation
Manipulate the whole world when i speak
I have power and influence over others because of my pimp status
Can't say that its easy
Living the pimp lifestyle takes effort and skill
Free-sell the hot the blow of the weed
I give away drugs for free to maintain control over my hoes
But only real mac's notcure the dream
Only true pimps can achieve their dreams in life
I like the plastic niggas
I prefer fake pimps who spend all their money on women
That kind that trick they cash on bitches
These fake pimps spend money on women to control them
Then wonder why she chosen on me
They don't understand why women are attracted to me instead of them
The one that break a bitch profesionally
I am skilled at breaking a woman down mentally and emotionally to control her
A gang slave she could never be free
I keep my hoes under my control and they will always remain slaves to the game
Think sobered to check my pedigree
People should check my background if they want to understand why I am so successful
Fool, I stay in they dome like weed
I am always on their minds like a drug addiction
And I brought that breed
I bring a new level of skill and expertise to the pimp game
Gotta prayer when I'm poppin them pee's
I pray before I have sex (with my hoes)
I mac there for I am
Being a pimp defines who I am as a person
2-short for a sucka or sweater fuck my program
I don't have time for fools or people who aren't dedicated to the pimp game
But needless to say
It's obvious
Shade Trees try to get in my way
People who try to stop or compete with me in the game
But you can only hate what you can't fade
They are only hating me because they can't compete with me
More than half of y'all is bitch made
Many people are weak and unwilling to fully commit to the pimp game
So fuck you and the small change dame that you saved
They are insignificant and unimportant to me and my success
Man I mac a hoe to the grave
I control my hoes until they die
Pimp a bitch till she slit her wrist
I control my hoes to the point of self-harm and suicide
Don't trip that's boss shit
Don't worry, that is what a boss pimp does
Thou sha'll not rest hathan
I do not rest or take a break from controlling my hoes
Or trick in the name of Temptation
I do not lie to or mislead my hoes
Never let a hood-rat hoe get nathan
I will not let unattractive or low-class women have any chance at succeeding in the game
But un-cut game
I play the game of pimping in its rawest, most unfiltered form
Hear what I'm sayin
Listen to what I'm telling you
I'm like a hustler hoes wed. dream
To hoes, I am the ultimate prize and a dream to be with a pimp like me
A broke hoe nightmare
Being broke and without me is a nightmare for my hoes
And suckers sees it so i must declare war
Other pimps who notice my hoes may try to take them away from me, so I must fight back
I'm in and out pimp slaps and roller choke hoes
I discipline my hoes with physical violence
To anybody trying to step on my toes
I will not tolerate anyone attempting to take what is mine
Can't call yourself a Mac cause you wear a kango
Wearing a hat does not make you a pimp
It takes more than some jewerly and a pimped out loc
Being a pimp takes much more than just flashy clothes and jewelry
See it's, larger than the ladies
Pimping is not just about women
And its deeper than dough
Being a pimp is a deep and complex way of life
It's a whole way of life that you must up-hold
Being a pimp is more than just an occupation or lifestyle, it is a commitment to living a certain way
Can't claim to be a playa
You cannot say you are a pimp if you are not truly committed to the game
Then come to the rescue
You cannot save a hoe and also be a true pimp
Of a bitch cause she claiming that she loving on you
A hoe who loves you is not good for the game and should be avoided
Can't trick low dollars
A pimp should not waste money on a cheap hoe
To make her look proper
Spending money on a hoe's appearance is a waste of funds
Have her in Masquino, godgie and cabona
Expensive clothes and accessories are unnecessary for a hoe in the game
Nah nah mac mall
No, no, listen to me
Won't slurge on y'all
I will not waste my money or resources on unimportant people
All i want is your feddy and maybe bomb jaw
I am only interested in making money and getting good oral sex
that's right big hitters don't quit till I tell you
My experienced pimps know to keep going until I say otherwise
Girl let me see you swallow 10 inches or better
I expect my hoes to give expert-level oral sex to me and others in the game
Nigga mac's ain't they think war
Being a pimp is not easy and requires a lot of work and struggle
And it don't matter where I'm at
No matter where I am, I am still a true pimp
I'm gonna keep it real true to my form
I will always stay true to my pimp form
Keep it mac'n mayn
I will always keep it pimpin'
Keep it mac'n hoe
My hoes will also always maintain the pimp lifestyle
I'm gonna leave you how i found you bitch flat broke
I will not waste my money on my hoes; I leave them in the same financial state as they were when I met them
So on that note
With that being said
You better get crackin
You better start working hard if you want to make it in the game
Cause whatever I'm doing
Whatever I am doing in the pimp game
I keeps it in a mac fashion
I do it in a true, authentic pimp way
Tyree what's up
Talking to a fellow pimp or friend
HUH, let me hear you mayn
Asking for agreement or support from a listener
Take me back some
Reflecting on past experiences
Oh you want to end it like that (Yeah that's cool)
Accepting the end of the song or conversation
