Mad how underrated he is.

I keep hearing Big L being mentioned a long side some of the greats; but is L really nicer than Finesse?

Even on the Alicia Keys drinks champs interview she couldn't choose between Biggie and Big L.

I mean L was nice but don't recall him being on that pedestal when his first album dropped, it was along time ago though so maybe I am misremember things?

L was nice but finesse had the finesse in his lines too.

Alicia Keys was raised in Harlem, that's why she got that extra love for L.

Check it, it ain't nothing you can gain from it
(It's the Funky Man) And ain't a damn thing changed, money
I lounge on the downlow
MC's be fronting like they funky but they can't fukk around though
nikkas I spare none, I never shoot a fair one
And I write rhymes more than bytches get their hair done
My shyt's butter, word to mother
Rhyme with the mic in one hand and hold my dikk with the other
(Finesse is the man) Yeah, how'd you know?
Cause my style of flow is smoother than Al Jarreau
I'm no joke with the fast or small raps
Me and Diamond go back like mock necks and overlaps
So by now you gots to figure
I'm not the best motherfukker but I'm better than a lot of nikkas
And in a battle you can pick the winner
The way I drop heavy shyt you'd think I ate grits for dinner
You want to bet? Then call your bookie
Cause I'm breaking nikkas up like motherfukking fortune cookies
Check it out while I play the post
And say peace on out, I'll catch you folks on a later note

Above the fray.
Respect to Lord Finesse

Cassidy ALWAYS gives it up to Finesse as being an inspiration with the hard punchlines.

Only East Coast rapper in All In The Same Gang video, he's in Ice T's segment

I'm on record here for saying that Big L was an updated version of Finesse, so I'm not gonna lie here. I think that's true for A.G., too.

He had a mini-feud with Lords of The Underground. Finesse is The Funkyman, and he had problems with Mr. Funkee having that name. Aired them out on stage somewhere in a freestyle, and that was that.
