These are the things you need to know about Double Up, Mase's sophomore effort. "Stay Out of My Way" samples Madonna and Public Enemy; "Get Ready" rides a interpolation of Shalamar's "Night to Remember" (curiously nothing is heard from the Temptations' classic "Get Ready"); "Make Me Cry" samples Fleetwood Mac and Natalie Cole. And so on. Yeah baby, Puff Daddy taught his protégé well. Like his mentor, Mase is not a preposessing rapper, and his monotone can become rather wearying since he rarely changes cadences. His rhymes are pedestrian at best--he rhymes "Lewinsky" with "convince me," but he's not talking politics. Still, this is a good party or hip-hop dance-class album; the production is razor sharp and the samples are well chosen. Unlike most hip-hop that demands to be foreground, Mase makes music that is perfectly content to be pleasant, lightly funky background music. --Martin Johnson

3 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars: Bad Boy's golden boy retires......................2006-11-25

Mase disappointed a lot of people when he abrumptly retired in the spring of 99. This particular joint is a lot more dramatic than the fun filled Harlem World. Anyways, nuff said. Give it up to Harlem's greatest MC, Mason Betha.

5 out of 5 stars Mase is my favorite rapper..........2006-05-13

and this is his seminal cd, though alot of people like "Harlem World" more than this one, I feel he was at his peak here. He drops gem after gem, tight lyrics over tight beats. Too bad he's with g-unot today, he needs to hook back up with Diddy and the Bad Boy machine and put out some more classics!

5 out of 5 stars Ma$e or Murda Ma$e: 2nd Greatest Alive.......2006-05-01

I agree with the guy below, Ma$e is very influential in today's hip hop... He is the 2nd best rapper alive only behind Eminem..
Here is the list of the greatest rappers alive in my opinion:

1) Eminem
2) Mase
3) 50 Cent
4) Dr. Dre
5) Cam'ron
6) Trick Daddy
7) San Quinn

You got to respect Mase... This album was a classic and Harlem World was one of the greates albums of all time... The only reason Welcome Back was a flop was because there was no promotion what so ever... Diddy did a horrible job.. We all know Mase can see because Harlem World has sold colse to 10 Million copies to date... Now that he is leaving Bad Boy Records, and is offically signed to G Unit, he will get the attention he deserves... Mase is an inspiration to us all and he sends a great messege. 50 Cent is probably the best promoter alive(Thats probably why Jay Z got him to co-executive produce Freeway's sophmore release Free At Last... Jay Z failed to promote his first one at all and it barley went gold so now he callin 50 for help.). As of now, Mase is signed to Bad Boy as well as G Unit, but G Unit's parent company, Interscope, will not sign Mase until he is released from his Bad Boy contract... The working title to his new project is now being called Offically Back... He has also released a mixtape under the classic G Unit Radio series. It is titled.. G Unit Radio pt. 16: Crucified 4 The Hood: 10 Years Of Hate. It was an instant classic... Everybody needs to quit hating and show Mase the proper respect he deserves...

5 out of 5 stars Respect For The Man.......2006-02-23

M-A-$-E best rapper ever!!! You gotta admire the man for taking a stand and leaving Millions of dollars behind in order to follow GOD. If you don't like Ma$e atleast show the Man some RESPECT!!! This dude started the Bling Era and popularized the R&B/Rap style!!! All the rappers today need to pay homage to MA$E. M-A-$-E best rapper ever!!!

4 out of 5 stars Better then Harlem World.......2005-03-03

This was Ma$es last LP before he came back just last year. This album was better then Harlem World even though this album wasn't rated very high.For someone to not promote an album and have it still go multi-platinum is just amazing and shows u what kind of skills he really has. Not 1 song you need to skip on this LP u cna bump to it non stop.Anyway that is a Ma$e fan or Bad Boy fan u should definately cop this classic LP
