[slider4life]

"so hand over the microphone 'cos it's my turn, the brother with the fade, half moon and long side burns"

[slider4life]

WOOW im only just beginning to listen to lord finesse now (forgive me im only 18) i know why hes called lord finesse. his flow was so precise for his time.

[051290ma]

He sound like Snoop Dogg

[jasonstainer1]

@051290ma he sounds nothing like snoop

[lnk4butcha]

MY TOP TWO MC'S OF ALL TIME: LORD FINESSE & KOOL G RAP! GRAND DADDY'S OF THE WAY ALL THESE NIGGAS (THE NICEST ONES) IS SPITTIN' NOWADAYS! SYLLABLES, METAPHORS, COMPOUNDS RHYMING.... THIS WAS NOT THE NORM IN '89 WHEN STRICTLY 4 THE LADIES DROPPED.

[PsycopathalRed]

[UrbanSkaternotreally]

[utubephreak]

[BJ9858]

@FeelRapp HAHAHAHAHAHA

[BluntSmokerr]

[toneriggz]

@FeelRapp

Looks more like Faizon Love than Big Pun...

[FeelRapp]

3:46 black big pun

[Joesizzle442344]

[SkunkyBreath]

[RitchyLoks]

Heavily under-rated 

[RitchyLoks]

cuz yall starvin, im livin Xtra Large-in "

[HumblePie71]

@DopeStrictly I truly hope you're only typing like that to try and act cool, which you're failing at miserably by the way. If you want to impress someone with your knowledge, go take an english class first and then get back to us.

[nutlil2]

go finesse do ya thing!!!!!!

[feedbackrichie]

For you Paul xxx

[TurboRonin83]

I dunno, I think Lil' Wayne could take him.

[DopeStrictly]

@TurboRonin83 lil wayne cudnt take his candy box tatoo's off his own skin. hes a fake RnB lil faggot. lord finnese wud eat chumps like him 4 breakfast.. u need 2 get youre head tested u fukin milenium baby u dont know shit bout hip hop if u fink lil waynes even in da catagory

[TurboRonin83]

@DopeStrictly How dare you talk to me that way? Who do you think you are? I demand an apology, mister!

[DopeStrictly]

@TurboRonin83 ite man dat mita been a bit rugged soz but know dat lil wayne ent shit bruv. Dont compare da Lord to some fake rapper.

[Induna123]

The explicit version has a completely different 3rd verse. Never heard the clean version before.

[PureCents]

do u guys notice how all new artists gettin their buzz are from the west and not from the east anymore?

[nutlil2]

@PureCents cus the young niggas aint representing no more...it not about commiting crime and shit but keeping it real..they bloods and crips and shit and expect niggas to respect new york niggas like that???? niggas is laughing at them.....

[facefacts911]

remember when rap music was all about rockin the mic and the crowd and not just braggin about how much money you have? i do...

[myrickboy12]

One of the illest to ever spitt.Salute to the OG!

[blackplaque617]

WTF is wrong with you young niggas with all this age dropping. Who gives a fuck how old you are. What, are you trying to impress these old niggas on here. Fuck them.  The reason hiphop died is because these faggot ass old heads who grew up in this era won't buy albums no more. Someone explain to me how Only Build for Cuban linx 2 has not went gold yet. Majority of these niggas who grew up in the 80's and 90's are just as bad as these little kids out here. Complain, but won't buy real shit.

[SKWIRL1]

Finesse vs Pun....my dream battle. Both of them influenced me heavily.

[silviu666]

story for alllllll!  j from romania

[IceManLikeGervin]

Lord Finesse with the funky mic bless!!

DITC was that ill crew!

[humanclayphotography]

DITC 4EVER! ...I REMEMBER HEARING THIS AS A SHORTY ON WBLS WHEN PETE ROCK WAS SPINNIN THERE. NOSTALGIA. @HCP520 ON TWTR -HUMAN

[FINbball]

DITC in the building! One of my favorite collectives ever.

[CINUOUS100]

you aint neva lie lord finesse the man yo

[ROMAJAM]

:-)

[BboyAdflicto]

2:04 Big L running from the cop :)

[ImaazeDa3th]

@BboyAdflicto

Big L's not there..

[mizzamoe]

I bump Finesse in the whip all the time. It's really cool when I pull up to a gas station or somethin and someone's like "Is that Finesse? I ain't heard that in years!" It's a good feeling when you know you're keeping the real alive and others acknowledge it too. To me, this is still the greatest music to listen to and I will continue to do so until I'm killed or die of other causes...

[ThisIsVice]

damn I hear all wish they could be born earlier to rock the 90s but fo real man this shits gonna going on, i know some ppl on yt keep the shits alive with they're own music

[Treantbiz]

Thumbs up if you saw A.G shootin dice, LOL!

[mizzamoe]

@Treantbiz yeah, in the colorful cap right?

[MrFufumann]

@Treantbiz

AG AG AG...he is my most favorite of all. Kept it up until today dropping album after album, a true street poet with magic rhyme skills, check that Berri album. F*** the club, Infected and the joint with Party Arty run non-stop in my car, hahaha, true grown up rap. Props to Finesse and all the DITC for keeping it real for our generation!

[Drikua]

19,999 cool-cool

[FreshAirEmcee]

real rap

[goodquality33]

A Good Quality Classic.

[Dresknowsbest]

I've seen this dude perform at Katona Park bx and he still got it.

"Your album is like a closed jail, Your bars are useless."

[samuelrose123]

wishh the industry would bring back real hip hop instead puttin out alla the whack shit they are. Nothing can compare to this, the truth and fluid flow, the soul in the beats, fed up of hearing about hoes, weed, and cars man !

[ridingwood]

damn i just realized how he sounds like big l...!

[PearcinihoGaucho]

@ridingwood i think that's because Finesse mentored Big L, and they were both part of D.I.T.C

[slamfish2010]

an apple is fruity, thats what i've been told when i was young....

[chocolateboyable]

lord finesse, big l, biggie smalls, 2pac, cormega, az, raekwon, rakim, 2pac, method man, ghostface, rza, immortal technique, kool g rap, big pun dayum new york produces the best for sure

[PearcinihoGaucho]

@chocolateboyable you said 2pac twice, and he's not from New York

[chocolateboyable]

@PearcinihoGaucho yh because 2pac deserves twice the credit and do your research tupac was new york born and bred

[PearcinihoGaucho]

@chocolateboyable yeh but he represents the west coast so much it doesn't count

[chocolateboyable]

@PearcinihoGaucho he may represent west coast but hes born in new york so new york produced him

[mociutesblynai]

@chocolateboyable i think pac represents west coast more in his song but fact is he gives a lot of love to the east coast too

[sethinator8]

@chocolateboyable what about k solo

[ticolodeon]

FINESSES' DA MAN!!

\

[ticolodeon]

FINESSES' DA MAN!!

[Mx5322]

Lord Finesse's flow is sick. Only Biggie and Big L could follow him

[giacomo188]

nun ce capite ncazzooooooooooooooooooo w trucebaldazzo

[DaanOFF321]

I wasn't even born when this came out but it still makes me nostalgic

[Dschaylizy]

itz slept on because he was so ahead of his time & did some real shit

[xG3N3R4LxMiLLSx]

Lord Finesse & Big L are easily the Greatest 2 lyricists ever!

[BlessedOfficial]

I usually listen to Metal and Hardcore, i can't handle all this new rap but for some reason old school rap has always interested me...

So good!

[GenoClown]

@BlessedOfficial \m/ GRRR METAL XD SO REBELLIOUS!! \m/ *paints nails black, puts on cut off gloves*

[mizzamoe]

@BlessedOfficial Yeah cause real hip hop is actually good...

[misterblisstr]

Far ahead from the flows from 91...his skills as an mc were mad underrated!

[IceManLikeGervin]

Definately underrated, slept on by most folks as an emcee!!

DITC

[BigBamTV]

True hip hop!!!

[GangstarrMario]

nice 

[frikie94]

Atleast 'm born in the golden era of hiphop 94'!

[DZMPLZ]

Even if Lord Finesse fart on the mic it would wreck any today`s "Rappers" lyrics to anti matter....

[DJFucc1]

@DZMPLZ But he's a rapper, not a tween wave artist.

[hoody232]

I'm kickin' it Vintage cause ain't a damn thing new. Peace.

[TheIffy316]

Mad brothers know his name - R.I.P Guru

[kegsy86]

[MrDansMusic]

[Zachdudeio2]

@MrDansMusic Dude I totally feel you on that.

[BagpipeHustler]

@MrDansMusic man i was born in 1990. i got nuthin' but respect/props to ya, kid....

[fdation]

@MrDansMusic i was about that age when this came out lol this was my shit

[oldschool90z]

@MrDansMusic Yeah, same to me, I'm 14 too and I feel the same. Yeah, now don't comment on my name, I love the old school style, since I was four I was listening to this 'dope' music, the first one was NWA - 100 miles and running. I still love it lol.

[MrNikoBellEnd]

@MrDansMusic true true

[Skychblade]

@MrDansMusic Really true, i wish i was born a few years earlier to enjoy this music, not this 2010+ Garbage..

[Germ303]

@MrDansMusic Word is bond son, im also 14 fam . Still bumping that raw 90s Golden era hip hop fam !

I wish i was also born in this era, I would've been as dope as L.

[MrDansMusic]

[nuevedeoro888]

[roboshuffle]

How are you going to tell me hip-hop wasn't better back in the day? Lord Finesse CRUSHES anyone on the radio right now...

[AmericanGangsta303]

@roboshuffle cant compare radio rap today with underground

underground rap today is still good

[roboshuffle]

@AmericanGangsta303 I totally hear you. Still lots of good stuff out there... Just seemed like back in 1992 there was about only 20% wack hip-hop. Seems like there's a lot of really bad shit out there.

[imran36]

@roboshuffle i bet he cant touch waka cocksucka i mean flocka

[mddarch2]

ahhh!!! 1992 those were the days! bucktown days!
