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..

Intro has a magical and nostalgic trippy feel to it

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

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!

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."

I feel Lord Finesse never sold out. He kept his shit tight underground. Why do you think I knew about Finesse if it was not because of listening to Big L who i had forget years ago (forgive me Corleone). Big L took me to D.I.T.C. then to Lord Finesse, Diamond D, O.C. and to discover how badass Fat Joe was/is. Peace out.

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

woww, what a track man...represent real hiphop, and amazing instrumental one love

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"

2018 still a banger!
