@Unique Bill I feel like Kane had a bigger influence of Jay-Z lyrically and you hear more finesse in L. Either artist like L who were partnered with their mentors were certainly nice in their own right to even be taken under the wing of others. Also mentors a lot of the time adapt or improve because of the people under them.
I figured Big Ls style had some sort of a Lord Finesse influence. They kinda sound similar but unique at the same time. It’s crazy asf. Both are legends in the game tho.
Dude he's cool as fuck, real laid back dude, I took a master class by him a few years back at a little dj supply spot, dude signed my mpc and everything
Dudes multi syllable rhyme structure game is crazy for his error, super impressed man. What a legend. Paved the way. How many rappers took notes from him, countless.
"i take on some of'em, bring a whole ton of'em, take'em all on, stomp each and every one of'em, brothers couldn't hang using poetry starter kits, finesse is blessed and more complex than politics, ...I stand and command with the mic in my hand...its the return of the funky man" fuckin dope
Lord Finesse gotta be in my top 10 favorite rappers. His Funky Technician Album with him and DJ Mike Smooth, probably one of my favorite albums. DITC all the way.
this man's the full package, mad rapper mad producer, their may be a 1 or 2 better rappers but Lrod Finesse is the greatest Hip hop artist of all time. If you hate lord finesse you hate hip hop
Lord Finesse is just raw as fuck, coming straight from the cypher in the studio, spittin raw street shit. Fuck all this studiomade "rappers" and respect the architects!!!
Cem Don't get mad cause your boy 2pac is a career 1 or 2 syllable rapper at best his whole career. Not my fault he can't keep up lyrically with a rap heavyweight in Finesse.
Henny Lopez btw you are all on black rapper's videos loving their music, appreciating their struggle. Does it make you black? You have a 12 year old thinking style.
559LOSO I agree. This was the golden era of hip-hop and like the best years for New York. I ain't from New York either. I grew up to this hip-hop from Kurtis Blow to Nas and everything in between.
These songs make me think of the oldschool DJ Rectangle Mixtapes i bought way back in 1992'' when i was 16 in Jr High lol i still got those imfamous Mixtapes from back in the days and now im 44 years old!!!
this and the first album...classic material...still have a champion hoody from the early '90's(wrists are f'ed up) but still has the white and red c in the front, wish they would make those like way back; have the blue,but miss my green and tan ones the most
Damn no lie he changed the rap game for me and my boy shareef back in the days he had so many punch lines in 1 song it was crazy back then it was unheard of he just never really blew up like he should of I definitely brought his tapes back in the days
WOW! I haven't heard this record in a minute. I'm rusty on them lyrics, but I know that beat from anywhere. As I listen on, it's sorta coming back to me. Lord Finesse. I need to rediscover this brotha's music. It's been a minute.
Samples used in this song: Lee Dorsey - Get Out of My Life, Woman Gang Starr - Just To Get A Rep (Vocals) Lord Finesse - I Keep the Crowd Listening The Mohawks - The Champ A.T.C.Q. - Bonita Applebum (Hootie Mix)
Lord Finesse, Gangstarr, Showbiz and AG, Fat Joe, Diamond D, OC, any d.i.t.c., Black Moon, Smiff 'n Wessun albums were so influential for me. That real shit... I was all about music not on mainstream radio.
This is straight 🔥 lord finesse beat is crazy hard love old school rap im glad i was around to hear and see true lyrics have this banging hard my two 10inch subs in my car setting off weak ass car alarms 😂

lord finesse is the father of big Ls style. his punchline style rubbed on big L and transformed to something even better
Word
Wouldn't say “better”, both legends in my opinion. They're both up there in the top 10 for sure!

53 years old and miss the 90's

Lord Finesse is seriously one of the most underrated artists I have ever come across, I one day hope to meet the man himself.
xCo okie Me too
Dude he's cool as fuck, real laid back dude, I took a master class by him a few years back at a little dj supply spot, dude signed my mpc and everything
@@sicktwistedmindshiphop1056 people sleep on his production skills also .
You won’t
Too many of the early Pioneers get Dismissed. Need to give them their Clowt Now !!
How can you not love Lord Finesse? So dope. Influenced the styles of lots of rappers that followed him.
Like Mac Miller then got sued for 10million Dollars
Big L was his protoge
One of the most underrated rappers of all time.
I'm just addicted to that whole D.I.T.C. sound from the early 90's!
Jar0on me too. I’m a huge Diamond D fan and I don’t know that many people who know who he is and what he’s done.
Bronx. Stunts, Blunts n Hip Hop. Gospel 😉
Legends
@@CaptWuppazz trust me real ones know.
@@CaptWuppazz from Ireland West Belfast Diamond d gets play out here
I’m from the south. Houston Texas mayne, but New York hip hop is the best of all time!!
The legend.....The best punchline emcee in the culture ever. Hands down.
No doubt. could not have said it better. Cat is timeless.
this is why he is the favorite M.C. for many other rappers....and also a great producer!!!
I agree... him and AG.
and Big L
Celph titled I would say least hardest finesse Def drops pure punchlines
without finesse we wouldn't have big L, need I say more?
Mad brothas know his name!
Facts!! I hear the influence instantly. Especially on the polysyllabic rhyme schemes.
And without Rakim and Kane there's no Lord Finesse!
lifestraight that's different tho. Finesse was actually Big L's mentor. Kane and Rakim were just pioneers to Finesse. like grandmaster flash etc
lifestraight
That's a lie
Once considered the best freestyle rapper out there.. and possibly still is...👍👍
Dudes multi syllable rhyme structure game is crazy for his error, super impressed man. What a legend. Paved the way. How many rappers took notes from him, countless.
Definition of New York Rap...I wish dey still rapped like dis and im from da south

Mango Pine, the no 1 mc is still Rakim. ..
This nigga is it. Anyone who you think is better isn’t. Put this song on fuckin replay and keep listening to these fuckin lyrics. He THE shit.
Totally agree with the put it on replay comment , this is fken dope , punchline god
Kane is better. Ra is better. QTip is a superior producer and MC. Y'all must be dukes cousin or sum shit. Nuff respect, but damn b! Y'all wilin'
MF DOOM?
Still one of my favorite mc's , who in my opinion was underrated !! He had great metaphors in his rhymes !! Truly a legend in his own right !!
They don't make music like this no more
THEY DO CHECK OUT BEATS FROM @WASSUPMAN777
Loving D.I.T.C. Str8 classic boom bap
This is Hip Hop!!

+deathmachine000 i like to call this kind of hiphop "funky rap"
Lord Finesse brought us Big L (RIP) , Diamond D ,Fat Joe ,Showbiz, AG , O.C. , Buckwild .
I was eighteen when this came out, was my jam than, still is today!!!!!!
Lord Finesse is the man 🎉
Lord Finesse is just raw as fuck, coming straight from the cypher in the studio, spittin raw street shit. Fuck all this studiomade "rappers" and respect the architects!!!

One of the best lines of all time in hip hop: "you're broke like mass transit"!
They don't make Hip hop like this mo more. Damn
Early 90's hip hop, golden age, enough said....LORD FINESSE, 70 people don't like this wtf!!!
They don't like it cause they were Born in 2000!
Skinny Jean wearing Crack babies don't like Lord Finesse
@@poeticsouljah3695 i was born in 2000, but i enjoy this type of music...
probably becuase the recording sucks
@@ChrisNova777 that’s what makes it raw. Listen to a finesse vinyl
Track harder than concrete and steel!
Severely underrated
Damn Finesse is mad nice. This is probably the best multi-syllable rapper ever. I mean he's rhyming like 4 and 5 syllables at a time, and this was 91.
Finesse is the master but stop talking like you are a hip-hop historian talking about syllables and stuff. I know who you are, Chino.
Cem Don't get mad cause your boy 2pac is a career 1 or 2 syllable rapper at best his whole career. Not my fault he can't keep up lyrically with a rap heavyweight in Finesse.
Cem This nigga just said he wanted to say hi when he saw me here. My man I'm not gay dog. If that isn't the gayest line I've ever heard lol.
Henny Lopez btw you are all on black rapper's videos loving their music, appreciating their struggle. Does it make you black? You have a 12 year old thinking style.
Cem Huh? In what way is that the same?
I'm 22 , Cassidy brought me here, I have to to know the culture to rap properly. 💯 Lord Finesse had dem bars on desk
where did cassidy mention lord finesse?
My favorite MC!And im from the West Coast.... thanks to Ice T for putting finesse on!
The half moon 🔥🔥🔥
DOPE!! When lyricism still mattered.
Happy Birthday to Lord Finesse 🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁. A very underrated MC
wish HIP HOP was still conscious thank God for under ground!!!! :-) west coast killa beez!!! :-)
Lord finesse the punchline machine.
I bumped into LF in Parkchester back in the 90's. Gave him some dap and kept it movin.'

Still love that whole D.I.T.C. crew sound

Lord Finesse kept it 💯
These songs make me think of the oldschool DJ Rectangle Mixtapes i bought way back in 1992'' when i was 16 in Jr High lol i still got those imfamous Mixtapes from back in the days and now im 44 years old!!!
To this very day. Oh my god
this and the first album...classic material...still have a champion hoody from the early '90's(wrists are f'ed up) but still has the white and red c in the front, wish they would make those like way back; have the blue,but miss my green and tan ones the most
Underrated!!!

WOW! I haven't heard this record in a minute. I'm rusty on them lyrics, but I know that beat from anywhere. As I listen on, it's sorta coming back to me. Lord Finesse. I need to rediscover this brotha's music. It's been a minute.

Lee Dorsey - Get Out of My Life, Woman
