To survey the full breadth of culinary references in hip-hop, we've rounded up 50 of the lines that never fail to hit us in the gut. And that's not to mention all of the food-related slang in rap: cheese for money, beef for grudges and so on. At other times it plays into metaphors of consumption, with artists such as Lil Wayne (who calls himself "the rapper eater") describing the ravenous manner in which they gobble up the competition. Sometimes, food is used as a cultural signifier to describe the rags-to-riches journey, which might start with Hamburger Helper but end with filet mignon. From the Sugarhill Gang to Drake, MCs have demonstrated a constant urge to document what's on their plate. Thank You.Girls, cars and jewelry are well-documented tropes of hip-hop, but anyone who listens to enough rap knows that eating is one of the genre's most pervasive obsessions.

The article continues with several references to marketing and promotion for the album, which I'd have to assume was already available by the time the article went to print. I still think Mase was a talented MC, and everything that came after was just par for the course over at Bad Boy Entertainment.
In all honesty, you'd have to be lying to yourself to say this album wasn't everywhere at the time, and it definitely had several bangers - even if it was hip-pop at the time. He's really saying something he has some depth," says Violent Brown. It has that Puffy pop sound, but Mase's lyrics are tight.
I don't just be writin' lyrics cause they sound good." Songs on " Harlem World" include "I Need To Be," which recognizes a woman's needs in a relationship "N!ggas Wanna Act," which challenges all the folks who charged Mase with changing after blowing up and "Feels So Good," an ego-booster that rides a spongy sample of Kool & The Gang's "Hollywood Swinging." "The album's phenomenal. "When I say things like, 'Mase ain't the one that'll pay your phone bill' or 'Can't no playa hatin' n!ggas hold me down,' that's really how I feel. "It's like in all my songs and on my whole album I'm telling you how I feel," he says. Mase says his lyrics are a chronicle of his inner thoughts and emotions. The exposure has created strong demand for the MC's solo debut, " Harlem World," which is due worldwide on Bad Boy/Arista. As a result of such exposure, Mase's lispy, laid-back voice and round, boyish face have become very familiar staples to core hip-hop and mainstream pop fans alike. He performed in front of an audience of millions at the MTV Video Music Awards alongside Sting, the Lox, Faith Evans, Puff Daddy, and members of his own Bad Boy family. He rhymed on gold and platinum singles by Puff Daddy, the Notorious B.I.G., Mariah Carey, and 112 and appeared in the related videoclips.
