Free Music Notes for Harlem World
Free Music Review: Harlem on the rise!
Hit: 4 Stars
Diddy used to love himself some Mase. When Mase first joined the Bad Boy label, Diddy made it his business to give him a heap amount of exposure so that the public would receive him positively, and we did. The public loved Mase because his style of rapping was different (he rapped in a slow monotone) and the ladies loved him because he was stubby but very handsome, particularly because of his dimples. Then, he "transcended." He went from being Mase to Reverend Mason Betha, the Bible toting author who I knew was a hypocrite all along. So, how did he prove me right? Well, first he professed to be a changed man; he said that the days of cursing, rapping and living the fast life were a thing of the past and he was a man of God. Ha! How long did that last? Well, put it this way, the last I heard from him, he was rapping, using profanity, and calling Brandy an unmentionable name. But, I must give credit where it is due and "Harlem World" is a very solid album. I enjoyed most of the tracks here. I was not only entertained by Mase, but his label mates Diddy, Lil Kim, Total and 112 all drop by and help make this album the classic that it is.
Many of the songs on "Harlem World" were released to radio like "Lookin' at Me", "Feels So Good", "What You Want", and "24 Hours to Live." Sometimes, Mase's slow rapping can serve as an irritant or become boring, but, he's a fantastic lyricist and he should be recognized for that. This album features some memorable one-liners and great versus. For some reason, Mase and Diddy try their hand at singing on the album's final track, "Jealous Guys." Neither of the men can sing; 112 puts them to shame as they do a great job on the chorus. Sections of the song sound like something New Edition would do, but maybe that was the intention for this ballad. "Take What's Yours" is a decent offering. Mase does a nice job and DMX lends his talents and also does a nice job. "The Player Way" features Mase in rare form because he gives a very energetic performance alongside 8Ball and MJG. This is easily on of the best songs on this album because of the good beat and above average lyrics. "Feels So Good" is another memorable moment on this album, after all, Mase is alongside his main man Diddy. They do a really nice job with this track.
Music lovers, you would be doing your music collection a disservice if you did not add this album to your pile. This is not only rap, this is music, too. I hope Mase truly finds where his heart lies so that he can concentrate on whichever craft he chooses to attempt to perfect. 4 stars.

Harlem World Poster
Harlem World describes a hedonistic lifestyle infomercialist Tom Vu would envy. Girls, riches, mo' money, mo' problems--it's all part of the game when you're Sean "Puffy" Combs's prot?g?, Mase. With his distinctive, narcoleptic vocals, Mase paints vivid pictures of singular Mase-ian problems on the dance-floor hits "Feel So Good," "Cheat On U," and "Wanna Hurt Mase?" Harlem World seems like a nice shiny package of proven hit making; problem is, Mase packs the charisma of Matt Dillon (always promising, but always the supporting actor). He has trouble keeping Harlem World interesting, hence the preponderance of guests, including Busta Rhymes, Lil' Kim, Jay-Z, Total, and Puffy, of course. Good news: the Puff Daddy chop shop is open for beat recycling, and Harlem World will ring more than a few bells of recognition. Not-so-good news: Puffy's style of commercial rap is dependent on charisma (see the Notorious B.I.G. and Lil' Kim), and Mase is running on empty. --Todd InoueRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
