Now the album is in no way Harlem World obviously, but I remember loving Get Ready :stylin:


Same nikkas is 1 of the realest songs of all time. I still listen to this all the time.:mjcry:



The "Justify My Love" sample with Total singing the hook.:wow:



:whew:

I randomly gave this album a spin the other day, it was a solid project that could've had more attention had he not quit the game

Honestly I don't even remember this album dropping back in the day.

Didn't find out about until years afterwards

lol i had that Source I'm pretty sure...Ma$e was my favorite, and I remember my homie and his little brother telling me riding in the car with my Mom he had given up rap to become a minister, and I didn't believe them, or I didn't want to, I never got 'Double Up' until years and years later. I know I copped 'Harlem World: The Movement' though.

Total apathy, Mase was trash back then to me and I just discovered I could listen to underground hiphop thru Real player and record it straight to analog tape for playback in my walkman. I was on my Rawkus kick

Damn, you took a nikka back with Real player, lol. But yeah, I was on that Rawkus shyt too, but I still listened to cats like Ma$e too. He'd been 1 of my favorites rappers.

Yeah, it's funny how now the album doesn't sound half as bad when you compare it to Hip Hop now.

I would keep the chain going but his G Unit stint is 1 I'd rather now even revisit now in retrospect. :mjcry:

I had Harlem World, his debut. I passed on Double Up though. It's weird because I anticipated it, but I read he left Hip Hop to become a minister, heard the single (didn't like it), read reviews, and decided not to check it out.

I was like :whoo: when i first heard this


"You hear it in my flow that i done fathered nikkas
I chill, go to church, and i dont bother nikkas
But I'ma get mine regardless, nikka
And if you keep frontin like the champ I'ma Tarver nikkas
Come on! You got no Unit, you not a gorilla
You got no beef its not over scrilla
Buncha loud mouths & i'm a concealer
This is Murda, nikka I named you Killa :stopitslime:"

Yeah, he was spitting but the fact that he had flipped had made hard to accept him back on this kick. I can't even listen to this no more.
