Harlem World [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
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 protégé, 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 Inoue

Grade A album...First Rap Superstar to bring pop culture into the hip hop...in his prime, mase was a grade A MC...

Harlem World.......2006-12-28

This is one of the 1st rap albums that I bought, and I still toss it into the CD player every once in a while when I want a laugh or two. Honestly, I don't think that there was a lot of talent used in the creation of this album.

hip hop classic!.......2006-05-13

what can i say? if you know anything about good music you own this cd. if you dont own it you should be adding it to your cart immediately after reading this.

While Mase is perhaps better known for his monotone lisp than his rhyme skills, he shepherds through a surprisingly likable pop project with his Harlem World protégés. Don't expect the Harlem World crew to deviate much from the standard litany of ass, cash, and gun blasts, but even if the album doesn't break new ground, the Trackmasterz production crew keeps the ear-candy jar full of tasty treats. In particular, the steel-drum melodies on "Across the Border" and "100 Shiesty's" add a festive Caribbean touch, while "Cali Chronic" resurrects the familiar slinkiness of the Ohio Players' "Funky Worm" for a superior thugged-out track. Humor plays a strong role, too, including the self-parody "We Both Frontin'" and the unintentionally corny "Mamasita Interlude." --Oliver Wang

A Change Never Did Come - Same Bad Boy Sound.......2004-07-08

A frequently asked question, "What is Hip-Hop?" Hip-Hop usually refers to the culture - graffiti-spraying, breakdancing, and turntablism in addition to rapping itself - surrounding the music. As a style however, hip-hop refers to music created with those values in mind. Mase is not reminiscent to the Golden Age (the six best years in hip-hop history) era of Hip-Hop, but his style harks back to the "Old School Rap" era - identified by it's relatively simple raps. The main emphasis is not lyrical technique, but simply on good times and Mase is all about good times.

The production on "Movement" is simply fun and playful on numbers such as "I Really Like It" and "We Both Frontin'" - the first is based around the biting sample of Debarge's "I Like It." Kelly Price provides vocals to the catchy instrumentation, while Jermaine Dupri controls most the action from behind the mixx board. The Neptunes supply The Movement with two-cuts in "One Big Fiesta" and "Not the Kids" - which the duo's notable sound is in the process of developing, but clearly evident to the pairs distinguishable sound. "You Made Me" features Carl Thomas, who shows-off his Stevie Wonder inflections and Luther Vandross ability to turn any slow song into a love song and this number is not a love song. The track is bitterly emceed by Huddy Comb, Meeno and Nas - it's a distressing number.

The album ends on an interesting note, the great rendition of Sam Cooke's legendary "A Change Is Gonna Come" - which is performed by the Harlem Boys Choir. The track is beautifully arranged, harmonized and sung. The emcee's play their part and from a production standpoint it hurdles retro beat making and the NYC party rap sound. The release shockingly tanked, but Movement shouldn't be overlooked because of it's lack of success. Though not the "crew of the year," the majority of the album is well-crafted, but far from extraordinary.

Mase Gumble.......2004-06-17

This cd was hyped to be really something. Ma$e at the time was on top of the rap game and had everyone on his side. His debut cd, "Harlem World" went 4x's platinum and he became a crossover success making way for future acts like Nelly, Ludacris and Chingy. Harlem World's very own debut cd was predicted to be really successful by analyst and fans alike, especially with its pop driven first single, "I Really Like It" featuring Mase's brother Blinky Blink and the rest of the gang. It however was a commercial failure and didnt reach platinum status. As of today Harlem World has not returned and given us a new album. Mase left the rap game in the summer of 1999 for God & opened his own church, named "S.A.N.E ministries" in Atlanta, Georgia. There was never word on whether or not Harlem World (the group) departed, but they are certainly quiet today. This album is a party anthemed cd and is in no fashion gangster or street. My advice is to buy this used for your own safety. Definetely dont pay seventeen bucks for it at virgin records/tower records, you'll be wasting your money.

P.S. Ma$e has returned to the rap game & has made airwaves on New York's Hot97, LA's POWER106 and other radio stations alike with his new song, "Welcome Back". He says hes back to make music, but hes going to disclude cussing or any foul language. Hes here to "Preach" to us clean music, not vulgar raps! :)

ok.......2003-05-02

this CD is not all that, but I give it 3 stars because it's worth it for about 3 to 4 tracks alone, especially I Really Like It, that song takes me back to the 80's because of the New Edition sample and it gives me a blissful feeling.

A landmark Release....(That gets a truly deserving Re-release!!!).......2006-06-23

If (Like me), you're only familiar will Eddie Palmieri (or "Charlie Palmieri"), via either's solo work, this will come as something as a slight shock, recorded originally in back in the 70's with a full band, This recording has been given a new lease of life, by the recent re-release of this seminal cd. This has the opportunity of inticing a new slew of fans, such is the brilliantly performed and arranged material here, that anyone with a passing interest in Latin, Funk, and Afro-Cuban Jazz, simply must check this out.

The Running time is only a partly 30 mins, but such complaints do prove to be somewhat redundant, as one listen to the performances contained here, will make such quibbles regarding its length seem foolish. This is the perfect example of the sound of Latin Americans migrating to North America, and becoming influenced by ther new surroundings and forming groups, and then performing/recording expressive and passionate music that not only touches upon the roots of latin music, but sounds like it was influenced by Black music such and R&B and early Soul. Because there is so much energy, modal musical shapes, rhythmic precision and melodic arrangements, that it's truly a wonder that this Cd, hasn't had the widespread recognition and praises heaped upon it, like some of the more universally recognised Jazz/Latin albums out there.

The Percussion throughout is sublime, and it highlights Eddie & Charlie's composition and arrangement skills to the fore, and if you've never given Eddie's (or indeed Charlies) other work the time of day, then I assure you, after listening to this staggering work, you'll certainly be inclined to seek out more of their work. As it takes on an almost experimental and improvisational feeling, moving effortlessly from mood, groove, feel and texture. multi-dimensional percussion sections, coupled with brass-heavy horn sections, and carefree guitar and ethereal keyboard work. Not that this album is anything less than accessible, which it frequently is...it's just that, this feels like a Special moment in time, when all the musicians are perfectly in synch with each other and remain musically locked into each other then and are Instinctually feeding off each other, you should take this opportunity to hear a exceptional one-off spectaclular performance, fron a band that would never (seemingly) follow up this landmark album. And it's a classic, not just purely for how breathtaking brilliant it was, but also for the fact that some 30 years later, it still sounds as innovative and essential as it did in the 70's. A must have release

A Must Have.......2004-11-29

I heard this album approximately one year after its release. My best friend Leon turned me on to it and I was immediately taken. This is a must have album combining the best of Salsa, Latin and Jazz. Idle Hands is my favorite cut but the entire album is a must have for any serious collector of music (especially latin and jazz). The album reminds me of many days spent during the seventies listening to the great music created during that period. Harlem River Drive stands as a shining example of that period and the great music that was created.

Latin Funk at its best!.......2003-12-06

Eddie Palmieri's classic latin funk band. Superb, beautiful latin funk from the masters of the genre. Highly recommended.

the truth.......2004-12-21

im thought i was a mase fan, but this album only gets 2 stars (i clicked 3 by mistake). why? he has good and/or popular artists also in songs such as; puff daddy, lil kim, dmx, eightball&mlg, jay-z, 112, and more. the songs 'lookin' at me' and 'what you want' were hits, and 'feel so good' has to be one of the best party rap songs ever made. however, besides those songs, there isnt much on the album. not a terrible cd, but far from a great one, either.

WEAK!.......2000-04-29

When I ordered the EDITED VERSION of HARLEM WORLD, I was excited to hear it. It was a good and appealing for the first week, and that was it.I don't listen to that cd much anymore because MASE couldn't rap well, the beats are so so, and the guest stars aren't that good. Also, if you compare the dirty version and the clean, there is a track missing off of the clean.

Mase let me down.......2000-04-24

I got this album as a gift, and I was excited because I had already heard "feelin so good" and "lookin at me" When I put it on, I couldn't stand any song on there for more than a minute. I only like three songs on there, the two above and "what you want", and then that's only because Total drowns him out. I also noticed how conceited he is, like most rappers are. Then he throws in pointless interludes. And finishes his album with a PITIFUL attempt, trying to sing a slow song. There are lots of guests: Busta, Dmx, Puffy (of course), Lil' Kim, ect. Someone needs to tell Mase that collaborating with lots of artists DOES NOT guarantee success.

I wish i could rate Mase 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars.......1999-08-20

I love him so much that one day we will get married and have some kids his music is the best i have heard so far Mase is a kind hearted person and i love him so much

One of the best albums ever.......1999-06-12

I bought this CD after Mase came to the U.k and put out feel so good and tell me what you want. It is one of the best albums i've heard and i can't wait for the new stuff. All the playa haters out there hate him because they ain't him, they are just jealous of his skills, looks, his voice. Just give the album a chance and see what he really is about. Mase next time you come to U.K visit Milton Keynes!
