'born to roll' is a legitimate candidate for the best rap video
Definitely top hip hop song! Specially if u really outside! Gettin yo keep! riddin on chrome!!!🏎️🚓👀 living that life u know🤔😉 💯 buddy beats and content... DOPE! I MISS ORIGINALITY,DRIVE, PURPOSE, LOVE, AND RHYMES! LORD HAVE MERCY! HOW WE END UP WITH SUCH EFFORTLESS SMUT MUSIC TODAY🤔? NOT ALL IS BAD BUT FRFR YALL KNOW WHATS UP! anywho I'm just breezing thru...BLACK BOI! BLACK BOI! TURN THAT SHIT DOOOWWNN!!!✌🏾
Ase has stood the test of time while others crossed over or fell off. The man has spanned generations from the late 80's to 2015. One of the best emcees hands down.
Classic Album, Masta Ace was able to infuse east coast and west coast music together in a way nobody has been able to duplicate or even come close to.
He's under rated but is a legend in the 90's underground world. East coast were west coast haters in the 90's but ended up copying their swag, style and gangster culture down to this very day but Masta Ace had the guts to go where nobody went in the 90's with his infused new sound.
That's a fact! I'm from the West Coast, and I didn't realize he was from Brooklyn til I was an adult. Crazy crossover value. I used to play this album every day in middle school. One of the first albums I can remember buying with my own money.
I was wit u til u said we was haters.
Dude is personally on my top 5. He's extremely technical while making it look so easy.
No doubt, he up there on my top 5 with Biggie, Jay Z, Cube, Mac Dre.
Not just that but his consistency is overlooked. What other emcee from the Golden Era still making quality music like Masta Ace?
A East Coast artist, jumping on that West Coast vibe.. and pulled it off so well 🔥
Masta ace is the shit, he's definitely one of the greatest and an influence to me, very underrated and just purely dope.
me too bro, slaughterhouse is an all time classic to be put alongside Nas illmatic, wu tang 36 chambers, Pete rock cl smooth main ingredient etc
@@rootsmcduck4339 Slaughterhouse is a classic, not sure up there with Illmatic/36 Chambers, etc., but he's a beast and the Marco Polo album he put out last year was just as good as Disposable Arts, Sittin On Chrome, etc. Truly one of the most slept on MCs to casual rap fans.
@@JohnSmith-iq9ot it won't make that list with a lot of people but it was a staple album for me, it just had a rawness to it, the horns in it etc , he just painted such a vivid picture in it, I'll always rate it highly, controversially..I never really bothered with tupac or biggie yet they're cerrones top artists
Literally song changed my life as a kid. Made me into a car guy to this day.
same here.
You gotta fuck with Masta Ace. He came up in the game iconic and he totally became his own man and brand that the east respect and the West could rock with
Ace epitomizes MC, period. Great interview
He's from Brooklyn N.Y. and he gave the game n culture timeless music as well as expansion. He didn't sound like a typical east coast or new york m.c. What that means is when you're a real m.c. you can do whatever you feel this album n songs are relevant till this day... Facts!!!
Masta Ace, one of the most underrated artists out there. Thanks for putting up this video!
Uni BlackSister
What's going on!? =D
Uni BlackSister
Glad to hear it! As do I. XD.
I remember rocking born to roll for time thinking i knew where he was at. Then all of a sudden the westside flavour came in to the music and I wasn't sure where he was from any more. Now it all makes sense. Masta Ace is a true pioneer in the Hip Hop game making moves back then that people wouldn't even do now
justogetarep It was lowkey a parody of gangsta rap.
we bumper that shit down south for real!!!
He shaped my music taste AND my love for cars his videos were dope !!!!!!!
Sittin on Chrome was da shit
Life was never better - 8th Grade “INC Ride” Fall 1995 I remember the buzz phrase was “Ride ride ride the ride ride ride” we was at the highschool football game then sneaking out after midnight, meetin up with girls in the neighborhood “it’s the ride y’all, you know you wanna ride…”
Cali niggaz love you and ur music ma boi thanks for those tracks you put out,, man I used to and still bump going down Hollywood cruising
YOU APPEALED TO BOTH COASTS BROTHER..THANK YOU! I BOUGHT YOUR FIRST ALBUM IN NEW YORK FEATURING "ME AND THE BIZ"! THEN BOUGHT SLAUGHTAHOUSE /BORN TO ROLL/JEEP A$$ NI$$A TOO!! SOME OF THE BEST PURCHASES OF MY LIFE! THANK YOU! NO ARTIST CAN CLAIM JUICE CREW AND HIPHOP WESTCOAST/WORLDWIDE SENSATION!!
sittin on chrome stay in heavy rotation
Was jammin this album 2 weeks ago.
9 years kid, 1 minute
This dude from Brooklyn but that Sitting on Chrome album and his crew was very much loved on the West Coast. Many people were kind of confused thinking he was from Cali. The dude is dope. He was signed to a West Coast label. That car culture back then was and still is very unique.
I remember my Sittin On Chrome mixtape with the B side I used to bump in my SUV with rims.
I had sort of forgotten about Masta Ace but I love his music. As a kid I thought he was from the west coast cause The INC Ride and Check it out were so G Funk influenced. I'm going over his discography at the moment and I'm really seeing his stamp on the game. He influenced Eminem who in turn influenced many more. The same way Rakim influenced Nas and so on. I love hip hop culture and music. People today don't understand that it's more than just music. For example, people buy all the latest clothes and shoes but hip hop was about how wore things. You know, fat laces, pants baggy or like Kris Kross did backwards jeans. That was hip hop. This shit is just industry.
Man bro...man....I swear u right
I bought the single in 94 and in 2015 I ordered that sittin on chrome deluxe package. Amazing album & Artists.
Masta Ace don't worry you are in my Top 10....one of the greatest✌🏻✌🏻 salute from Basel Switzerland
Thank you :) for all the songs!!! All these years!!! Brings me good memories 😌
When I first seen Masta Ace he was on the video "The Symphony" featuring Kool G. Rap, Craig G, and Big Daddy Kane and back then I didn't think nothing of him blowing up in the 90's like he did. A lyrical assassin!
Juice Crew son
Had no idea mastah ace was from NY. Thank you for making some West Coast classics!
I remember when this came out I thought dude was from Cali.
Cris LeRoi his homeboy/cousin on the album was from Cali. I think if I remember right conceptually A and B sides were slanted for the coasts. I was in Cali when this came out (still am) and we were fuckin with this album HEAVY. I remember we were a bunch of teenage kids in a break/graf crew, pumas with phat laces, dancing while this was on the boombox. The old man in me, wants a time machine to go back to those good times.
@@wrkr word!
Def' .
Back in the day I thought he was from The Bay or Barstow or somewhere like that. You know San Jose car show type of stuff. One of my favorite Summertime vibes. We Bay Areans loved it.
Just the opening lines on Born To Roll bring a smile to my face. Truly one of the greatest to touch the mic.
you were part of the golden era of hip hop man be proud of this shit
"write another ticket if you got any left".
That whole cd is the shit and a classic.... shit means a lot to me it reminds me of being a kid... and masta Ace is underrated as fuck
Been rockin with Master/Masta Ace since Cold Chillin. Loved every album. Sittin on Chrome was a masterpiece to me. "What's Going On" is such a perfect vibe. One of my faves
Wow. Sittin' on Chrome was my joint but I also thought he was from the West Coast when I heard the song and saw the video.
Masta Ace is my top favorite artist of all time..probably top 2...A MC who doesn't need to curse every 5 minutes and great story teller..First song..Keep your eyes on the prize straight classic and killed the symphony!!
Great 90's album that often got overlooked. Boomin!
Creepin up on 30 yrs now.. & it definitely still goes hard AF 🔥
My Favourite albums from Masta Ace..it's pure magic.
Sittin On Chrome is impecable. All time *favorite* song. A *preeminent* urban car culture song.
Take a Look around is incredibly underrated. Never realized how big the Sittin on Chrome album was
To me this man is mad underrated as a MC in hip hop and deserves more credit. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017
Salute to Masta Ace. This was a great watch.
When he re-did the video and shot it at a car show,that video blew tf up here on the West Coast
Masta Ace is a legend. Disposable Arts is my shit!
Kid still is on rotation on my Playlist bme m4 with crazy bass
I remember listening to this when I was 8 year's old for the first time back in 97(I know it came out in 95), I had no idea who masta ace was but the beat and the lyrics mashed together perfectly. I alway's assumed whoever the person was who made the song was from cali based on the sound. Now reflecting back on everything I'm even more impressed that Ace was from New York making a "west coast sound" song due to the whole east vs west "beef" back in the day.
Born to roll was hard af I’m from the Midwest Flint Mi big ups to Masta Ace
Didn't Stetsasonic come out with this beat first? ! I had the album when I was a kid and it wasn't masta ace..
I got you in my top 3 O.G. I was down since take a look around. I understood and appreciated the "me and biz" cut. And "Disposable Arts"!!!...straight classic. After that I feel so much was happening that "A Long Hot Summer" wasn't either accepted or promoted for what I felt was the disposable arts part 2..correct me if I'm wrong..
A Man way ahead of his time.
That Original Concept "Knowledge Me" beat never gets old.
The Isley Brothers. Master Ace you are a genius bro Classic hip-hop
My fav CD
INC Ride I stay bumping
INC Ride and Born to Roll are the joints. His best album. They took instrumental of Born to Roll from some local LA group from the 80's
Real talk - very few tracks have that b-boy combination of sub-bass on blast, dope lyrics, punchlines and delivery with melody. Was banging ACE hard while at University in Manchester (UK) in 93/94 and still gets heavy rotation when I need to get amped. Not being from the US was a blessing because I took music at face value only, skills and beats - all the other fake stuff was trashed - east/west was clearly a gimmick from the start. Looking back - I put born to roll in my top 5 hip\hop videos of all time - alongside Planet Rock - Bambaataa/ Pharcyde-Drop/Digable Planets - 9th Wonder / Racionais MC's - Vida Loka pt 2
Born 2 roll was my shit 2...that video and rump shaker was when I 1st seen half naked chicks on TV
I remember it when i saw it on YO MTV RAPS ,And i recorded it on vhs !! The cd to buy was very hard in Germany at that Time ,
One of the best hip hop albums lyricaly, beats wise ever.
I used to love some Masta Ace!
Underated, unsung legend!!!!
INC Ride was my favorite video from Masta Ace, but liked Sittin on Chrome because of all the VA license plates (from Richmond)
The whole albums is great!!!
One of my favorite albums/records of all time.
Wildcard Hoss whats your favorite tracks?
@@SolidSnake240 INC Ride and Born To Roll an Sittin On Chrome
You the man! Delicious Pizza! 💰
This Answered everything. I always wonder what the deal With was.with the west coast sound ..he late 80 90 and now 2000 masta ace is always doing something new ..you can. Never predict what his music is gonna be.. I still he very underground . I sure ppl. Have heard his name but I don't think ppl really know the man behind the music
Thank You.
Legend ❤
Been down with M -ACE for years!!!!!
My top MC. I admire how he takes time to create realistic "observational" rhymes like, "tearing those other cats posters down" with dope samples and beats. I really like the album with Edo as well.
Edo G in the same league.
It was wild because the Slaughtahouse album was hardcore Brooklyn…but Sittin on Chrome was less regional and incorporated a west coast vibe
At the time it was such a drastic shift in style for people that wanted him to stick to the strict east coast style but you can’t deny how good the music was
He adopted a sound that wasn’t typical NYC first…Cash Money Click with Ja Rule did it second…Biggie did it next…Cam’ron and Dipset did it after…and now tons of NY rappers sound like they’re from the south or Midwest
one of the car culture music og s
🤯 had no idea Ace was producing the music under an alias
I'll had that Album ...as soon I'll hear the son ...I.N.C Ride....went to wherehouse bought it....Defn...a 90's Rap
Wow !! Good to see this. Sittin on Chrome will make ANYBODY'S car a 4 seater bass tube Rollin down the street.
Saints row 1 introduced me to masta ace and i've been listening to him since... definitely better than rappers today include new kanye style and drake
Eminem copied his style period.
Exactly 💯
Dope💯👍
Epic music and lyrics. The Inc Ride 4 Life.
Ase is world reknown not underated he helped me get on tv with the isrelites back in the 90s he is solid 👑😎emirj
That Sitting on Chrome was the 2nd CD I bought in my Life. INC Ride did it for me, after watching the video on the BOX. Still have that CD til this day. Still laugh at the Oh my bad n**** that sandwich was yours. lol. Mom had a 92 Red Corolla, and when he mentions that car on Born 2 Roll track I was like yea my moms roll'n now, haha.
*Edit: that 92 Corolla I had painted twice in my life was found one day in the junkyard when I was looking for a side mirror for one of my cars. That car was born 2 Roll cause last owner had it as a lil racer, haha.
The west coast will always show more love to the east than the east show more love to the west.
Sittin on chrome....Master (ase).....Peice!
What other rapper from Golden Era still making quality music like Masta Ace today?
Nas?
Before P\/s$y Poppin uncut and Tip Drill uncut there was Sittin On Chrome uncut!!
This dude is actually a genius.
So real
I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT 1st CAME OUT
respect to Ase
Still best beat ever better than any new trap beat !!!!!
At 7:30 what's the track playing in the background?
The INC ride. The first song on the album after the intro.
dslimm Dope, thanks dude.
I remember masta ace came to Frisco and killed it at storyville.
Shout out to Bay Hip Hop, they never get enough credit.
Legend
Definitely top #5
That was ur west coast album bro. I was 19 when it came out never thought when it drop t u was a east coast cat...
Damn, after all these years I thought he was from Cali lol It had a Cali vibe to it.
I always thought Masta Ace was a west coast rapper til now 🤣
Not knoccin masta ace just saying I remember the real beat when I heard it
This dominated west coast
