Mase or Jay-Z?: The Source Asking Who Had The Better Rookie Album

[Street Knowledge]

Breh it "sucks" I get y u don't like it LMAO

I'm just gonna assume the people fronting on Harlem world are young as fukk, from BK, or foreign


ya'll be disrespectful for no reason I swear. dikkryding is at an all time high.

If an album has 20 tracks and maybe 7 are hot, it sucks. And I’m being nice on some of the “hot” tracks. I haven’t actually wanted to play what you want since like 2002

You probably haven’t listened to Harlem world in 20 years outside of those corny singles let’s keep it real

Jay had Premier on his debut too, can’t really top a song like this

none of those singles are corny you're bugging. they're 2 different vybes I get why a certain demo would not feel Harlem world at all. but its dishonest 2 shyt on Harlem world. I gotta question your palet and ear.

as they should be....you gotta preserve history....there use 2 be honor.


jay even said it on Harlem world..."they wanna Ryde with Mase stay fly with me"

whatever TF that means

Hov haters still with the "Reasonable Doubt sold zero copies in 1996 " narrative

 

[Knucklehead]

And it was also the first time Southern artists were featured on an East Coast album. It is the first time Jay was on JD beat too because he's featured on "Cheat On You" produced by JD.

This is interesting.
Scarface was on a Kool G Rap album before this but Harlem World was a much more succesful album and did seem to open the floodgates.

Two different styles of rap. Mase was a fly guy, Jay was rapping about the underworld of being a drug dealer turning into a businessman rapper.

This is the stupidest argument ever.
Goodfellas was like the 40th highest grossing film of 1990. You don’t hear anyone arguing that Young Guns 2 was superior.
The Wire was extremely low rated when it was on. Is anyone putting Without A Trace above it?
Van Gogh was never popular when he was alive.
Even if RD had only sold a dozen copies it has no bearing on its quality or especially how it’s viewed today.

great post...facts

mase ... one song wreckage

Damn I used to play this song all the time.

 

[Cladyclad]
