Lord Finesse is a TRULY underrated producer..you talk about a brotha who epitomized that grimy boom bap 1990s hip hop sound...and he was one of the best producers on the mic bar none..
Grimy boom bab is my favorite shit. Throw in some jazz, on another level. The Prunes were some good exemplars of what I'm talking about. Check the Beats from the Vault mix. To anyone.
That’s why a love havoc, lord finesse and havoc are similar. ill cats that rhyme but also producin the best beats hip hop heads love. Love west coast rap but NY had it locked down fr
Big L was influenced by Lord finesse, they rap similar with strong punch lines. If anything, big L (student) mastered this style from finesse (teacher).
One of the illest instrumentals i heard in my whole live, peace for this genius and for everybody who keep it real. Travellin' whit a green smokin' stick and dope music, one love from Spain...
@@mrmeftw781 word. This is one of the dopest old school tracks bar none. Lord Finesse really outdid himself with this beat and while a lot of people sleep on him as a rapper, he was nasty. People forget that Lord Finesse was one of the nicest on the mic. Give him his respect.
I'm 34 now. I grew up on this shit, like Big L, Lord Finesse, Das EFX, Notorious, Wu-Tang, Gangstarr, Smiff 'n' Wessun- just love to come back for listening again.. Much respect from Poland.
This gotta be one of the hardest Lord Finesse joints. The beat is just plain BOOMIN' 😤 + Finesse holding it down crazy impressive on the MIC. Classic '90s Diggin' In The Crates production. ✌️
I remember having this along with the awakening on tape when I was about 15 I was gutted when I lost it! Finesse is a great MC & Producer one of New yorks finest!
He also spat a similar verse on this track on Big L - Da Graveyard! Can't believe I never listened to Lord Finesse's songs after hearing Big L, Finesse is just as loveable as Big L.
Hip Hop Classics plays this all the time . Lord Finesse is so underrated. "When it comes to this I've been through more shit than a toilet:". That's that wordplay
Damn, now this type of shit takes me back. Some straight O.G. shit. Wow where have those days gone. The early to mid 90's were the best for for rap. Reminds me when I first moved to the U.S. as a kid and comin up in the city. Dope rhymes comin out the sunroof in the hot hot summertime
The Diggin in the Crates crew were interviewed for two books which save the true methods of real MCing, the titles are *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2*. Here is a quote from O.C. of DITC in them- ''I learned about creating new lyrics from old lines from Pharoahe Monch. Pharoahe is the king of one-liners. He’ll write down a line five years ago, and it’ll end up on a song five years later. I asked him one time why he do that, and he was just like, sometimes you can’t sit there and write a whole record or write a whole rhyme - it might fall off after the 6th bar, the 10th bar, the 2nd bar, whatever the case is, but you don’t force it - it’s got to flow."
Wooooh, one of my all time faves. Hardcore can't get any smoother than that. If I'm not mistaken, it was never properly released as a single. First heard it on a PF Cuttin mixtape in '96 and it blew me away. Was looking for the vinyl for years and finally got a bootleg named "The funky men - check the method". I wet my pants back then... "when it comes to this, i've been through more shit than the toilet"
Yo i cant believe this shit finaly came out I heard this shit for the first time on doo wop 95 live. and i thought it was going to be on his next album the awakwning but then i didnt hear it 4 another 10 years one of the illest. Rhode Island salutes the Lord.
+Mark Whippy In an interview about Lifestylez ov da poor and Dangerous, L told him he wanted him to spit. he didn't have anything because he didn't know and just said something quick and didn't think anything of it.
One of Lord Finesse's best tracks!! It's a crime that this is not on spotify
its hos best track one of the nicest hip hop tracks out there
Who cares about Spotify when you can get the original?
He doesn't own royalties to his own track. Because he ain't the devil.
That's why I ditched Spotify
A crime punishable by death
only the realest hip hop heads here
We still out here bruv
Wordddd!
Yizir!
whaddup tho
still 💪💪
Holy shit. Why have I been alive for 19 years and just found out about this guy today? He's amazing. More than amazing. This beat is dope.
Real hip hop has been avoiding you huh ? Hip hop golden era I recommend Master Yoda Said
Check out D.I.T.C also that’s the crew he was in along with Big L & fat joe etc… 🔥

He did suicidal thoughts on ready to die.
Had the pleasure of seeing him perform this live this summer in the Bronx for free. He still rips it.
Lord Finesse is dope. No question. In my top 5 producer list.
DJ premier Pete Rock J Dilla 9th Wonder Havoc
Lord finesse can arguably be in top 10 of all time
Other mentions RZA Q Tip
Necro, grap luva, fredro star, nick wiz. Most slept on cats right there.
"I've been through more shit than a toilet"
goat
lmao
That line had me laughing😂
😂😂
Can’t believe he played this live last night in Germany big mood🔥🔥🔥15 years later
This song is early 90s
Big L was influenced by Lord finesse, they rap similar with strong punch lines. If anything, big L (student) mastered this style from finesse (teacher).
actually he worked hard with Big L,when he was just a boy at 16 I believe.

Finesse has to be one of the greatest all time MC/Producer. This beat is some of the dopest shit ever created
That hook is magnificent, Finesse voice is fire
finesse is a beast. never ever any better, timeless.
damn man, I just cant get enough of this track: the beat is sick, lyrics are sicker and lord finest is the sickest

Me too, I currently have tears falling down my face as I’m typing this
Just heard this on Music Choice yesterday. Dude is mad underrated . “I been through more shit than a toilet”. That’s that wordplay 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finesse is the true definition of an "Artist" !!
I used to listen to this 05-08 blazing my lungs out in highschool in Kuwait out of all the places in the world!
I am blazing my lungs out to this since I was 18 I’m 27 now one love
crystal clear and sharp rap - a genius on the mic
I love Lord Finesses flow and punchlines. He truly has his own style
got it locked like a warden, rap without finesse is like the NBA without Jordan!!

One of the greatest MC's of all time
Hip Hop Classics plays this all the time . Lord Finesse is so underrated. "When it comes to this I've been through more shit than a toilet:". That's that wordplay
this track is immaculate
best flow and voice to grace the game
Oh my goodness, first listen ever, this is what i was looking for

Lord Finesse is one of the best producer all time..

Breath of fresh air everytime I hear this song
Intro has a magical and nostalgic trippy feel to it
OMfG I did not know that artist. He got pretty nice flow. I liek it a lot.
He truly represents tha golden age of hiphop.
WORD from Poland.
this song is a classic always will be
I don't understand how you can listen to a legend like Finesse and still bump Miller. The real heads know what's up.
this track SCREAMS 90s
Damn, now this type of shit takes me back. Some straight O.G. shit. Wow where have those days gone. The early to mid 90's were the best for for rap. Reminds me when I first moved to the U.S. as a kid and comin up in the city. Dope rhymes comin out the sunroof in the hot hot summertime
One of my favorite joints by Nesse
Classic ! Lord Finesse is one of purest hip hop flow technician. BX original .
heavyweight shit!! definition of dope rap!! one love!
The real NY spitter of the Raw 80's to the Roaring 90's... iykyk
Americans are real poets
Lord Finesse was the darkest producer in NY. DJ Paul was the darkest producer in the south, wonder what the two think of each other
Would have been more than epic. Lord infamous and Lord finesse on the same track? That was a dream of mine
This is heaviest track I've heard in a hot minute
Beat is bliss
damn lord finesse could be the best lyricist iv ever heard who has equally an amazing flow and sick beats.
'They automatically go to heaven fucking with me, I give 'em hell'
Finesse coming with the fyah
yooo this track brings me back to cyphers at house parties, good times! 2020 and we still hip hop heads
The Under Boss‼️🎤✊👏🙌
That piece of art by Finesse is absolutely genius.

You guys really have a slick guerilla marketing game...
Finesse was a head of his time.
Dat beat tho
Only Lord Finesse could create It haha. Happy to see women enjoying real Hip Hop. One love.

Finesse has been calling out whack MC's for years. It just so happened that one of those mc's took one of his instrumentals.
woww, what a track man...represent real hiphop, and amazing instrumental

MALDITO FINESSE
such a chill funky lyrical emcee
2019 , he is so underrated still beats these dummies todayy !!
Obviously he was the beginning of hip hops golden era 1990-2000. Anything then is better than anything today
I bought a sc300 in 2019 and remember starting the car a lord finnese cd was in the car it was a good 2 hour drive lol
Big L use this verse in a song 😮
Edit: Nvm it was Lord Finesse on the track with bom
This beat is on anotha level. Lord Finesses rips tha mic but his beats are spaced out dope shit.
I swear its gurus voice saying to who at 3:24
Read this comment right at that exact moment.
Incorrect it was show biz one of lord finesses inspirations
"They just imitators that can't get my shit right" !!his shit be flowing like spring water. Legend
diggin in the crates
lord finesse was in DITC?
There'd be no DITC without Finesse.

Come on now.
Zigedi Zach fuck u i forgot its been years i was only a heavy big l fan
Wahhh I forgot Lord Finesse was in DITC Wahhh!!!!
Listen to dis a breath of fresh air 💩 i grown up on my old school. Thanks l. F....... An B.X.
Butter
Can we all stop arguing and just agree that both L and Finesse are awesome? No need to compare, they both got (or had, RIP) their own thing going on.
"I'm on some wu tang shit so protect ya fucking neck"
+The Infamous Trini_Don That is the most unoriginal and overused punchline in rap. This guy has the corniest punchlines since 2Chainz.
+BlackFaithProduction lmao you're the one guy in the comment section that doesn't like it
+BlackFaithProduction this is 20yrs old he probably was one of the first to use to that line..somebody saying it today it would be over used
Overused and he was probably the first to say it, so what does that say about the punchline...
"since 2Chainz" OMG. This is a rapper from the 90s, sucker. As others say here, he probably coined it.
one of the best beats ever produced
Verse on Big L's Da Graveyard.
This boom bap is dope man
is it any album or what?
Yes. ‘Lord Finesse. From The Crates To The Files...The Lost Sessions’ album ✌🏼
This track is such pure hip hop.
How come he used the same verse as on Graveyard?
+Mark Whippy In an interview about Lifestylez ov da poor and Dangerous, L told him he wanted him to spit. he didn't have anything because he didn't know and just said something quick and didn't think anything of it.
it's one of my fav verses by finesse
this track was released in 03 even tho it was done in 94 simply because he didnt want to use it knowing he spit it on Ls album
FINALLY FOUND OMG THANK YOU MAN
#realhiphop #DITC
Lord finesse is the most impact wordplay punchline M.C in the game back in the day protege by one the most notorious flamboyant M.C Big L RIP
