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.

In 1999, he started his own Sessed Out label, the first release being the compilation Mac Mall Presents the Mallennium, followed by his first solo album on the label, Illegal Business? 2000 a year later, although his popularity of a few years earlier had waned. Immaculate followed in 2001, on which he mixed gangster rap with religious themes, with Mackin’ Speaks Louder Than Words in 2002 and Illegal Game in 2004.

Mac Mall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody is gettin everybody
Let's get a telly and don't tell nobody
Step into the party, pimpin is my hobby
Yo bitch is hatin Mall, because she knew she never got me
Cuddies smokin blunts, because we all young ballers
Comin straight from Cali, Crest Creepers's what they call us
Strip full of Caddies and them muthafuckin Chevy's
Cut thangs, Mustangs, 5.0's
Bitches in my party, and they feelin too towed
Me, I'm hella saucy, but I don't sniff blow
I'm known to bust them raps with that killer pimp flow
Hoochies in my face, and they all poppin pussy
But bitch, I get so deep up in that yak, you want to jook me
With a butcher knife, so back up out my life
I cannot be your boyfriend but I can lay the pipe
The party's full of folks, all my cuddies from the turf
I crack a pint of Hymen, now we all gettin perved
- chorus -
Let my cuddy hold my thang, 'cause my folks is way deep
It ain't about the game you hear, it's about the game you peep
I'm seein niggas slappin hoes, 'cause they gettin outta line
I crack up as I act up off that 'Voisier and lime
Your bitch in front of me got yak longer than a g block
So now I'm freakin baby girl hands on the cock
Just then, guess who bust in?
The bitch I'm fuckin with - oh, I didn't know that was yo cousin
But before she tripped I tried to act dumb
I put her in her place, Crestside is where I'm from
And a matter of fact, fuck both of y'all hoes
You're fuckin with some pimp, so the story goes
- chorus -
I fiend, that you and me
Need to stop playin games and go smooth up a tree
On your knees in a telly, high from Hennessy
Put them legs on my shoulders, now I'm goin way deep
She took the dick from the pussy straight to her throat
I love it when I'm drunk and fuckin with a nympho
Slide to the slide, k to the why
Keep a hat on my shaft, 'cause I don't want to die
I heard a bitch lie, told her friends that I made her cream
Straight salt-shakin, tryin to aggravate my team
But game don't stop until the casket drop
Or the feds can count my dough
Top-notch bitches pickin Mall like a 'fro
Never would a player go low
Rivals thinkin that must be smokin dope
So all the macks kick back, because Mac Mall done came anew
And in the V-Town, this is what we do
- chorus -
The lyrics in Mac Mall's song Let's Get a Telly immediately set the scene at a party where people are having a good time. The rapper talks about how he enjoys his role as a pimp and the fact that he is popular at the party. Mall acknowledges that some people may not like him, including a woman who is jealous of him because she has never had him. He goes on to describe the partygoers smoking and drinking, and driving expensive cars. The girls are dancing provocatively, and some of them are trying to get Mall's attention. He tells them that he can only be their sexual partner and nothing more. The chorus keeps repeating that everyone is hooking up, and they want to keep it a secret, which creates an air of mystery around the party.
In the second verse, we see that there is a sense of chaos at the party. People are getting out of line and slapping each other, while Mall and his friends are laughing and drinking. He talks about hooking up with a girl who is related to someone he is involved with already. He tries to play it off like he didn't know, but she gets upset, and he tells her that he is from the Crestside, and she should know who she is dealing with. The verse ends with him saying that he doesn't care about the two women, and that game never stops.
Overall, the song is a vivid description of a party where people are enjoying themselves, but there is also a sense of danger and recklessness in the air. Mall portrays himself as a player who is always in control of the situation and has fun with the girls who want to be with him.

I heard a woman lying to her friends that we had sex and she orgasmed
Straight salt-shakin, tryin to aggravate my team
She's trying to cause trouble for me and my friends
But game don't stop until the casket drop
Life is a game until you die
Or the feds can count my dough
Unless the government takes my money
Top-notch bitches pickin Mall like a 'fro
High-quality women are attracted to me
Never would a player go low
I will always maintain my high status as a player
Rivals thinkin that must be smokin dope
My competitors think I must be doing drugs
So all the macks kick back, because Mac Mall done came anew
My rivals back off because I have returned with renewed confidence
And in the V-Town, this is what we do
In Vallejo, this is how we party
Everybody is gettin everybody
People are mingling and socializing with each other
Let's get a telly and don't tell nobody
Let's rent a hotel room and keep it a secret
