The best rapper you have never heard of, Masta Ace, puts out another classic cd. Sporting one of the most consistent careers of anyone to enter the rap game, it is hard to find a bad Ace cd, and although this is not his best effort, its a close contender. By far his most accessible work, its an enjoyable listen that will ultimatly leave you wondering why you have never heard of this stunningly talented mc before.

There are no really standout tracks here because unlike most cds, there is no filler, but some cuts do stand out. Born To Roll is an absolute necessity for anyone that loves ot pump the base in their care, but be careful because this one might blow out your system. INC Ride is a classic Ace posse cut as he talks about what he sees in his neighborhood.

In the midst of the East vs. West Bloody feud, Masta Ace managed to blend West Coast beats with East Coast flow to create the perfect album for its time. I Highly suggest you pick this one up, along with anything else by Masta Ace

This CD is great. In the midst of the whole East-West beefing, Masta Ace, Lord Digga, Paula-to-the-P and Leschea put out a bumpin' album that marries the smoothed-out slickness of West Coast production values with the rough edge of New York hip-hop, and the result is a perfect album for ridin' around on a Friday night.

Ace says it at the end of the intro: "Let's take this ride..."

From the silky bump of "The INC Ride" to the deep hit and mellow vibes of "Terror," there isn't a whole lot NOT to like about this album.

Fans of Ace's later work will complain that he doesn't have much to say in comparison to his later, more concept-oriented albums, but the h*ll with that. Redman never had ANYthing to say; doesn't mean he didn't say it WELL. He's still my favorite MC!

"People in My Hood" is an excellent slice-of-life about folks around the way, "4 Da Mind" flips a tricky beat into a nice song and I'll be honest, "Born to Roll" should be mandatory listening for anyone with subwoofers in their ride.

To me, this album has a wide appeal for hip-hop heads from coast to coast.

Don't sleep. Especially when it's this cheap used on Amazon!

Sittin on Chrome by Master Ace is a diamond in the rough. I loved it when it came out and I still love it now. The style is Brooklyn Bass with an LA sound to it. When its done right it is hot and incredible sounding. Sittin on Chrome my top choice for tracks but there are others..INC RIDE, People in my Hood and Born to Roll are the some of the strongest..The only thing that keeps it from a 5 star album is the other rapper on the album. I dont even know his name or care to..the beats are all knockin though even the intro..Classic Unknown Material right here..






Born To Roll' the best beat to jam for sure LOCC

Smooth Beats Good Production East Coast Feel If you dont like this and you love east coast underground somethings wrong I love this CD especially the song Terror(Oh My God)whats going on and Inc Rode both versions ya'll dont like this ya'll are trippin!

I only know to much about Masta Ace Incorperated, this guy has tight songs such as Slaughta House, though I only found this one as his best Album....best songs are The I.N.C. Ride, Eastbound (feat. Method Man, Redman & Grave Diggaz), Sittin' On Chrome (feat. B.G. Knocc Out, Eazy-E & MC Eiht), Terror, Da Answer & the Bomb-ass hit Born To Roll that has the all time greatest G-Funk Bounce! Other than The Notorious B.I.G., Masta Ace is the Greatest thing to come out of Crooklyn!

This is definitely Masta Ace's worst album so far. I was extremely disappointed when I bought Sittin' on chrome because I know that this mc has a huge potential and I was expecting something more than a below average album from him. What really is a turn off is that the production on almost all the tracks is wack and uninspired. Even if Ace is still nice on the mic, this effort is far from his most achieved works and a feeling of mediocrity is present throughout the album listening. I would strongly advice you to sleep on this album and to purchase instead Masta Ace's Slaughtahouse. This record is a true hip hop classic and it shows Ace at his best.

This a good CD to have just for the fact it has East and West coast beats blended together and is Hot! If you have seen the video "The I.N.C Ride" lowriders hittin' switches, subwoofers bassin', people crusin' this CD shows that this is a Lifestyle for many today who enjoy crusin' with good audio systems and being heard from down the block. MASTER ACE made this to be a classic. I gave this CD 5 stars because it has low bass and tight lyrics.

A killer MC, Masta Ace (born Duval Clear in 1966) made a living for himself in the early 90s with the classic underground rap album "Slaughtahouse", a dark, seedy, but highly individualistic and introspective work. On "Sittin' On Chrome" he still struts the same superb street smarts that make him one of rap's more distinguished MCs, while adding some catchier hooks that make these songs seem somewhat less dark and brooding than those on "Slaughtahouse".

His big hit here was "Born To Roll", which remains one of rap's true street anthems. Other highlights include "Terror" and "Turn It Up."

Hot Album overlooked due to all that east-west ... that was goin' on.
