Who fukks with this album, IMO it's crazy underrated. Finesse with beautiful production, on the mic he was a nice lyricist and had punch lines at the level of Big L.

still cant believe its the last body of new music dude put out :snoop:

format was odd, the skits had top beats, it could have easily been a full length instead of the quasi-EP it ended up being

its classic Diggin tho, the prod on this is pretty much the essence of all 4 producers sounds. wish the whole crew was on it

i refuse to conform
It goes dip dip diving, check who you sizing
It's the wize civilizing, pockets stll rising
When I drop it, i'm futuristic like Fiber Optic
Didn't buy my album, you played yourself, should of copped it
Nuthin could beat my elite rhymes throwing your hands kid
That better be a peace sign
You don't want it, that's my steelo, how we on it
When we do our thing, nikkaz spread the word like informants
But still advancing, skills enhancing
We got up on a shooken offbeat like white people dancing
We're too bugged, true thugs
Quick to get in that ass in ways that homo's wouldn't approve of
I'm not yapping, just rapping
Don't care if you're gold or platinum, don't think it can't happen
Whether wit a beat or acapella, it's the mic Rockafella
Strictly out for the mozarella
Fuk guns and toolies, we don't betray movies
It's yours truely that's smoothly, still sounds groovy
You can't do me or dis me, don't try to get wit me
My style is tricky like spelling Mississippi
Strictly, come and get me, if you can flip me
If this flow was whisley, I have you muthafukas tipsy
The ghetto type playas that caters
Famous to you spectators, the rhyme sayers, catch you later

lord finesse is so underrated it is a shame technically in terms of rhyming skills cleverness and his overall writing and making sense with his lyrics , he is a genius.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
I used to pump this album hard...even the skits had smooth ass beats.



That's the only discrepancy i have towards this album from making it a bonafied classic...


The production on the interludes should have been used as actual tracks.


Always wonder why he skimped on them... at least throw on a couple bars.


Still a great album/ep though.
