Just like how he burst on the scene over thirty years ago with 1988\u2019s \u201cThe Symphony\u201d. A classic produced by Marley Marl and alongside Masta Ace featured Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, and Craig G. The next collaboration to mention is \u201cCrooklyn\u201d which served as the title track for the soundtrack of Spike Lee\u2019s film of the same name. Masta Ace was joined by Special Ed and Buckshot from the Boot Camp Clik to form the Crooklyn Dodgers. A Tribe Called Quest handled the production duties.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Juice Crew \u2013 The Symphony (prod. by Marley Marl)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P_ntsaxM-Zg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Crooklyn Dodgers \u2013 Crooklyn<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4nOhxF2HhL8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2000 Masta Ace would link up with Guru from Gang Starr for the track \u201cConflict\u201d. That same year Masta Ace recorded \u201cHellbound\u201d which also included Eminem for the compilation album <strong><em>Game Over<\/em><\/strong>. The significance of this collaboration is the fact that Eminem has mentioned Masta Ace as one of his idols. You can hear the influence Masta Ace had on Eminem\u2019s delivery.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Guru \u2013 Conflict feat.
