Mase's "Harlem World" turns 18 today

[Farrinto]

The album is now an adult, brehs and brehettes. What's your favorite track from this album? Did you like it when it dropped? I think it's an ok album, nothing really special. My favorite track was the classic "Feel So Good".

Harlem finally had a rapper that really put Harlem on the map in the 90's...Mobstyle, MMG, Zhigge, McGruff and Big L were too local and underground to take their names to great heights like Mase did. Out of all the boroughs, Harlem was looking dry all thru the 90's until Mase came.....But he didnt really rep the Harlem we all knew....Mase was more a polished superstar rapper from Harlem......It took his protege Camron and the Dips who would come later down the line to rep gritty Harlem the way it really was in the 90's.

one of my fav rappers, my fav prolly 'tell me what you want from me'

to keep it all real you come second to my money

 

[DMGAINGREEN]

Perfect example of what a Commercial rap album should be perfect balance of gritty , pop , lyrics & flow... emphasis on commercial before niccas start barking at me ...

One of the first albums I copped as a 13 year old, bunch of change and worn out $1 bills at Blockbuster music....shyt was like $20.00, was always one of my favorites....I came up on Mase, No Way Out, Big, Black Rob....This was maybe my first time hearing the Lox, DMX, etc.

I used to walk to middle school listening to 'Take Whats Yours', and '24 Hours To Live', 'Will They Die 4 U', 'Lookin At Me'...'yo girl....roll harder then some of yo nikkas.....'

Still walk listening to those tracks lol.....'nikkaz Wanna Act' is my shyt too, 'What You Want', classic...

Top 50 GOAT Album for me. Mase killed this shyt. The Dmx feats were I Need To Be is the first track i go to when i break it out. 24 Hours to Live Lookin at Me, the 8ball n MJG joint. Great fukking album

 

[OfTheCross]

24hrs To Live is still a classic posse cut to me

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

[Farrinto]

I Need To Be is the first track i go to when i break it out.

I hated that shyt too

 

[Cheech&Chong]

Sticky this shyt, put these youngings on to Murda

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Yo, if nikkas wanna act we can act
You nikkas wanna scrap, we could scrap
You nikkas got gats, we got gats
You nikkas wanna style, we style
If you get foul, we get foul
You get wild, we get wild
