Finesse is one of the primary reasons to this day I'm still making beats and writing rhymes in my basement..lol. The Funky Technician album changes my whole perspective on hip-hop and the game in general. This man is an unsung pioneer of the modern hip-hop era. Props due.
I absolutely hate how underrated Lord Finesse is! He is one of the reasons why Big L got noticed... Nobody gives him credit at ALL... Him and Big L are the kings of punchlines....
One of the illest free styler and heavily influenced big L that's why there connection was so great Lord finesse the original king of compounds and punchlines
This man dont get the true respect he deserves. He's the reason for Big L because Big L was influenced by him...He should get more respect. I dont fuck with Fat Joe no more but he should also get respect becuase Pun was first heard through his music...Fuck it the whole D.I.T.C deserve respect...R.I.P Big L
There were so many ill beats on this EP/album that I wanted to hear Finesse rip to pieces, but they were only used for interludes. Especially the tracks that Doo-Wop and Lyte were talking over. Was mad disappointed in the project back then for that reason, but so glad I have this in my collection now like what was said in the video.
Funky Technician dropped at the perfect time back in the day ... too much conscious rap and hip-house at the time. That being said, 1990 - Lord Finesse for East Coast and Del Da Funkee Homosapien for the Left Coast ... with Q-tip close.
Damn, thanks for posting this!! Imma true fan of dude cuz he talented and humble and he respect hip hop. Not like these nowadays fools that just put together some ol catchy lil garbage rhyme to make a quick $ in order to get a mercedez or pay for tuition.. that ain't what it's all about..
i wish i had the chance to get lil' wayne and everyone that likes him into the same stadium as lord finesse by himself so that everyone in that stadium would change their minds and revive hip hop
Lord Finesse has skills on the beats too, He can do those funky smooth head boppin' tracks or he can switch it up and come with those dark,sinister,creepin' up on you in the night type of beats. The dude is just dope as hell! If I could go diggin' in the crates with that brother ONE TIME,I'd be super straight LOL!
To this day "Funky Technician" has remained in my top 10 albums/tapes/c.d's of ALL TIME!!!! U can put it in & let it play from the 1st to the last, can't do that shit wit' c.d's today, 7 songs outta 17 makes for a "classic" album...y'all suck like deep throat.

Fat Joe did his thing with DITC & Terror Squad imo. He definitely has some awesome stuff
Lyrically one of the best
I love those reverebed samples flooded in delay, this guy is my favorite on the beats, and top 10 on the mic. Peace.
