one of my all time favourite hip hip tracks man...i got it on vinyl, this is true hip hop!!! production is off the chain. Finesse is one of the greats!
this tune needs more views ... kids are scared to listen to something so educational... too bad cuz there missing out on somethin so ill.. they will never realize how true and real this song is.. oh well there loss
shame no swearing but it does let you now that its not all about swearing and gangstar rap but there is a moral message there...its an observation on society......swearing is good but its missing really from music nowadays - to its detriment- fuck im deep - why dont you al fuck off
Actually this was a single off of some "stop the violence" type compilation album. It was on a cassingle with Ganja K on the otherside.
The single was Ill cause it had curse words in it! I banged this shit eryweek! Finesse had beats. But nothing beats "something for the ladies" prod. By Premier! Ill
I believe you meant "STRICTLY FOR THE LADIES" of his debut album Funky Technician on Wild Pitch Records...C'mon get it right son..Those were the golden years of hip hop.
kanye west lil wayne and them other toy rappers is just that rappers there is not talent in music anymore thank you to the public for making the stupid shyt mainstream
Aioy I ain't really been on Finesse like that, but this iz def some reall ass shit. I grew up with the kind of shorties he tal'n bout. KIdz get more and more reckless az the years go on.
This song was featured on a compilation album, "STATE OF EMERGENCY, VOL. 1." Teen Summit on BET had some of the artists (including Lord Finesse) from the album perform.
Whateva happen to shit like this, one of the main reasons for Hip-hop was to have an alternative from the shit these rappers rap about today, it's a damn shame, Big L died from something related to this too, RIP Big L, big propz to Lord Finesse for findin him.
Can you upload this in HD???

Finesse is lyrically, meaning mathematics, chemistry, rhythm AND wordplay/metaphors/knowlegde/wisdom one of the best no doubt, top 10 for sure.
The man has a flawless delivery on top of that, lot of rhythm in the voice, great time-keeping and a variety of skills.
He's MC, DJ, Producer. It doesn't get much better than that.
MUCH PRAISE to Finesse.
Gave me beautiful music and wise and intricate lyrics !
