Finesse is always on point. But you can hear why he ditched Shorty. His lyrics are terrible. I can write better lyrics and I'm a turtle who lives in the sea.

Lord Finese look mad drunk in this vid.This is a real New York classic.This was when New York kept it rugged and Raw and did it from the heart.Then Puffy came in with the shiny suits and fucked the whole rap game up.

[llovka]

22.425....

[nptrock]

Dope tune!

[80sB0Y]

Had it recorded from Video Music Box back in the day. One of the best Rap tracks from the mid 90's... Those were the days when NYC Rap was raw and unfiltered sound of the streets produced not by clowns or entertainers, but by really talented rappers with street credibility. Overall this is whole another level and no comparison to any rap done these days.

[nujrz4lyfe]

@80sB0Y A "thumbs up" aint good enuff!...You NAILED IT !!!!!

[llovka]

One of Lord Finess'es

[rfilmltd]

@TonyBigz yup

[nujrz4lyfe]

@rfilmltd TOO HARD! I remember when this vid 1st dropped..Thanks 4 showin it homie..REAL HIPHOP..Hard 90s shit!!!

[Lyrikk09]

This Track is pure fire. 100% real hip-hop. It's sad that you can't find real shit like this nowadays. Hip-Hop today is so garbage. I'm truly disappointed with the cultureBack in the days hip-hop gave you this feeling of fulfilment. The music would touched your emotions in so many different ways that it made you feel like you could identify with the artist. It made you feel that you were part of a movement. I don't know ? Rest In Piece Hip-Hop

[bdrel]

remarkable song. but remarkable video too. the excellence of the ''golden age'' hiphop lies in more things than the beautiful music itself......

[tanzaria]

" FUCK smoking blunts, I smoke PUSSIES and PUNKS.

[coachmbs]

Wow...I've been looking for this cut for years. Thanks for posting...

[hulkfan90]

This was my shit nigga.Video Music Box classic.

[mayena]

A Bronx, N.Y. native originally known as 'Shorty Longstroke,' Shorty was discovered by Lord Finesse in the early 1990s and given his first taste of wax in 1994 with the single "Shorty's Doin'" which Finesse produced. Shorty soon fell out of favor with Finesse, and although he managed to release a few more independently-produced tracks, the call of obscurity soon beckoned.

[msnikish1]

@mayena word, what up with him now??? nam sound vagueley familiar

[bainbum]

This was a video music box banger back in the day. True Classic!

[TRISTESIRE91]

[catch3000]

Classic Material! I still have this video on VHS and track recorded on cassette. Growing up and listening to good rap music like this and being a part of the hip hop scene in this era is truly a blessing. Anything after that is a complete sin!

The scene between 1:10 to 1:16 is "REALHIPHOPISGARBAGE" getting lumped up.

[Monicadominguez2393]

he was one of the two dudes in the SKITS video

[knowel75]

Dammmmm I was 19 when this drop!! I was so spoiled with real music

[marudaone]

[damontoure]

Nothing happened to shorty and lord finesse they never fell out. and for that bitch ass that said this is wack I'm sure ur a shorty lo fan so u wouldn't know real hip hop

[SlaytanicWarrior420]

Think about it. If "REALHIPHOPISGARBAGE" was a pop rap fan, he wouldnt know ANY of these songs that he's hatin on. He's prolly just a hip hop head like us with nothin better to do. lol. so just laugh at him.

[coldrockdaspot]

yeah he does it for his warped idea of kicks.

[tmassbones]

i thought he was hilarious, and what made it funnier was people replied him actually mad LMAO

[SlaytanicWarrior420]

lmao I know dey b like

"SHUT THE FUCK UP GO LISTENJ TO SOLDIER BOY OR LIL WAYNE"

and I jus say naaa fucc that ima listen to some Lord Finesse lol

[Induna123]

Why did Shorty fall out with Finesse anyway? Money?

[Induna123]

I love the Lord Finesse production on this. Typical 94 sound.

[fade2green]

I'm about to cry....who found this shit?!?! Thanks! I had this on VHS and lost the tape from back in the day when dudes made real hip-hop like this! Been searchin youtube for this vid for several years now and today I put it in and.....walllaaaaah!

[zamdoom]

I'm just a boy in a hood tryin' to make good still down by low so honey's drawer hit the floor givin' up the flush like I'm on a world tour cuz they heard I'm breakin' backs they heard my (?) fat

[zamdoom]

[stenerock]

Good looking for posting this video.I remember taping this from video music box and was laughing my ass off when they grab duke from the bench and gave that nigga the bizness and left him with his arms dangling off the bench.
