His unhurried delivery and uncomplicated lyrics are the hallmarks of his unique style. On HARLEM WORLD, Mase proves that there's more to quality hip-hop than mile-a-minute rapping and hard-core beats. | | The tracks on HARLEM WORLD are instantly accessible, as most of the songs use samples that listeners will be familiar with. Mase's first single "Feels So Good" reinvents Kool & The Gang's "Hollywood Swingin'," while "Love U So" samples Teena Marie's "Square Biz." With Puffy in his corner, Mase's first at-bat can't help but dominate the hip-hop arena. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Entertainment Weekly (11/21/97, p.136)
- "...rap's newest bad boy more than holds his own on his solo debut. Like Puff Daddy, he laces hardcore raps with pop hooks and drops Big Willie boasts....his distinctive marble-mouthed drawl, however, creates a regular-guy persona all too rare in hip-hop."- Rating: B Muzik (4/9, p.84)
- 4 stars (out of 5)
- "...Harlem on the rise? Most definitely." Rap Pages (1/98, p.105)
- Solid Material - "...Creatively refreshing, well-crafted lyrics and a high-energy track over a hyped beat easily make this..." |
