Harlem World (Bad Boy, 1997) by Ma$e

Not counting Biggie, Ma$e is my favorite rapper from Bad Boy.  Although he was criticized for his slower delivery, I really liked it.  It made his voice immediately recognizable and gave him a very unique style.  I love "24 Hours To Live" and "Will They Die 4 U?".  But in my opinion, the whole album really holds up too.  Yes Ma$e was pop, but pop in the sense that he made popular music- not that he compromised himself for record sales.  Bad Boy was unstoppable in 1997 and Ma$e is one of the reasons why.
