Lost sessions lord finesse is a collection of straight New York's hip hop snares,horns & thumping beats.

Who dares to say Lord Finesse isn't a great MC? Lord Finesse IS one of the true lyrical champions of the Boogie Down Bronx and well reknown as the "punch-line King". On any great MC list, Finesse's name will be there. From Melle-Mell to KRS ONE to Big Pun, Lord Finesse is well respected as one of the "King MC's of Pelan" (The Bronx). This CD is "classic" Lord Finesse. All it's missing is the original version of "BABY, YOU NASTY", and it would've been a wrap. This is true NYC Boom-Bap at it's best! A must have!

Lord Finesse at his best. I also recommend Funky Technician with DJ Mike Smooth. Plus if you're a fan of Big L (RIP), Yes You May and You Know What I'm About will blow your doors off. Buy the album.

I ordered this album expecting to hear some vintage DITC lyrics and rhymes bringing it back to the days of the second golden era, right? Wrong. Lord Finesse was never a great MC, he's dope on the boards though. I will never dispute that. This album high points come when the listener hears Big L voice once again on the tracks "Yes You May" and "You Know What I'm About". Only the latter four tracks of the album may you nod your head in agreement, as for everything else, you'll be shaking your head in dissapointment.
