One of Lord Finesse's best tracks!! It's a crime that this is not on spotify

[@billyjean5934]

its hos best track one of the nicest hip hop tracks out there

[@Maksmonster]

Who cares about Spotify when you can get the original?

[@rage_dj]

He doesn't own royalties to his own track. Because he ain't the devil.

[@2G1rls1Pudge]

That's why I ditched Spotify

[@Prodigal450]

A crime punishable by death

[@OKAYPLAYER75]

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..

[@CASHXRAT]

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.

facto!

[@meccaunknown8725]

lyfe 1zruff hes a mc, turntablists dj, producer and etc. the man has been a god for a long time when it comes to hip hop.

[@paulmcleod8615]

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

[@maskedavenger2621]

He did suicidal thoughts on ready to die.

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.

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.
