Duval Clear (born December 4, 1966), known better by his stage name Masta Ace, is an American rapper and record producer from Brownsville, Brooklyn. He appeared on the classic 1988 Juice Crew posse cut "The Symphony". He is noted for his high level of rapping skill and for influencing other MCs, including Eminem.
Clear graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 1988, after meeting Marley Marl in 1987 during his summer break. Ace made his recording debut as on the Hip Hop posse-cut "The Symphony", along with fellow Juice Crew members Craig G, Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane, released on Marley Marl's In Control album. The album also featured two additional Ace tracks, "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize" and "Simon Says". In 1989, he released his first solo single, "Together" b/w "Letter to the Better". His debut album, Take a Look Around, was released through Marl's Cold Chillin' label in 1990, featuring production from Marl and DJ Mister Cee. The album featured two minor hit singles in "Music Man" and "Me & The Biz", the latter being a track with Ace's impersonation of Biz Markie, rather than a duet as previously thought the song would be.
Simon Says (or Simple Simon Says) is a child's game for 3 or more players where 1 player takes the role of "Simon" and issues instructions (usually physical actions such as "jump in the air" or "stick out your tongue") to the other players, which should only be followed if prefaced with the phrase "Simon says", for example, "Simon says, jump in the air". Players are eliminated from the game by either following instructions that are not immediately preceded by the phrase, or by failing to follow an instruction which does include the phrase "Simon says". It is the ability to distinguish between ugly and pretty commands, rather than physical ability, that usually matters in the game; in most cases, the action just needs to be attempted.
The object for the player acting as Simon is to get all the other players out as quickly as possible; the winner of the game is usually the last player who has successfully followed all of the given commands. Occasionally however, 2 or more of the last players may all be eliminated by following a command without "Simon Says", thus resulting in Simon winning the game.
Simon Says was an Alternative metal band from Sacramento, California. In 2001, they changed their name to Key to Arson, and they broke up in 2004.
Simon Says was formed by a group of California high schoolers (Matt Franks, Zac Diebels, and Mike Johnston) who got their start playing high school auditoriums around the state in the early 1990s. Adding bassist Mike Arrieta in 1995, the group self-released two records, which attracted the attention of manager Jeff Saltzman. Saltzman set them up with Cake's producer Mark Needham and got them signed to Hollywood Records in July 1998. In 1999, they released their major-label debut, Jump Start, which yielded two hit modern rock singles, and the follow-up Shut Your Breath netted a third radio hit.
In 2001, Simon Says left Hollywood Records over promotional issues and changed their name to Key to Arson; soon after, drummer Mike Johnston left the band, to be replaced by Dave "Stixx" Marich. In 2004, Key to Arson announced the completion of an album entitled Light 'Em Up, but by the end of the year the band had broken up. It is now known that Zac Diebels and Matt Franks have formed Automatic Static and will release a full album soon as of 2012, called Number IV.
Simon Says is a children's game.

March 30, 2018 | Abby O'Neill -- An early member of producer Marley Marl's iconic Juice Crew, the Brooklyn-bred Masta Ace emerged shoulder-to-shoulder in the late-'80s with a host of iconic emcees, including Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Craig G and more. When Ace showed up at the Tiny Desk, he brought with him stripped-down versions of the concrete-shaking classics that built his legacy, backed by the impressive Lee Hogans & Pursuance band. Watch him move the crowd with his biggest single, "Born To Roll," from the 1993 album SlaughtaHouse, and introspect on a life lived in the public eye on "Story Of Me." In the elevator, minutes after wrapping, one of his bandmates noticed that he'd gotten a little emotional during the performance. Ace relayed that the intimacy of the Tiny Desk set had a...

Sittin' on chrome, sittin' on chrome
Sittin' on chrome, sittin' on chrome
Sittin' on chrome, sittin' on chrome
Sittin' on chrome, sittin' on chrome
He once was a dog from around the way
So you better take it eazy
And I'm sittin' on chrome
He once was a dog from around the way
So you better take it eazy
And I'm sittin' on chrome
I just got paid
It's Friday night
I'm sittin' on chrome
And I'm feelin' alright
Take it EZ, like E 'cuz I be
Lettin' niggaz know what time it is when it comes to me
You can't find us here anywhere and I tear
You a new asshole, as beautiful as gold
Look at your reflection in my shine, find
Pissy hallways are always on my mind
But not tonight, I'm sittin' on chri-dome
Makin' more waves than my cellular phi-done
Mental energy from within keeps me higher
Than anything rolled and set on fire let me try a
Little somethin' new, grand 'cuz what I am
Is mathematic, I must to blow your static if I can
I.N.C., crew I thought you knew
That's how you do well check it this is how I do
He once was a dog from around the way
So you better take it eazy
And I'm sittin' on chrome
He once was a dog from around the way
So you better take it eazy
And I'm sittin' on chrome
I'm sittin' on C H R O M E
Sippin' Brass Monkey, Digga got the Remi
Martin I'm startin' to feel like I wanna
Hit the strip spot and I think that I'm gonna
I see my nigga Jose, "Mida, que pasa?"
We goin' to the spot, need a ride? I gotcha
So come on in, come on in, come on in
It's like fire when you see my chrome spin
I paid the valet, I stepped to the stage
I think I wanna play with the girl in the cage
Lap dance, lap dance, lap dance
Baby look I got trouble in my pants
I just checked my wallet, no more dough
I just paid your rent and now I gotta go
She did me till I's done, smooth like Bally
I walked outside, they said that they ain't got no valet
Somebody caught me slippin', dipped with my ride
But we gonna catch they ass on the B-Side
He once was a dog from around the way
So you better take it eazy
And I'm sittin' on chrome
He once was a dog from around the way
So you better take it eazy
And I'm sittin' on chrome
I just got paid
It's Friday night
I'm sittin' on chrome
And I'm feelin' alright
You can't I.N.C. me
The Ace niguh, so be ghost like Amity
Ville horror, till tomorrow, you're done
So jet like delta, I'm fly like the nun
My mental state's, more Great than the Lakes
I'm Superior, it's Erie how I breaks
Niggaz down, with the sound as I shine
One time, and the chrome is the mind
He once was a dog from around the way
So you better take it eazy
And I'm sittin' on chrome
He once was a dog from around the way
So you better take it eazy
And I'm sittin' on chrome
Sittin' on chrome, sittin' on chrome
