Shout outs are expected on mixtapes, no question. This one has about 1,000 of them. If your gonna drop over 40 bones for this disc expect non-stop shout outs from Finesse to about every mc and dj in the book. The music is first rate, no doubt, but to me all the shout outs get in the way. Pete Rock and Biz Markie have Blue Note mixtapes in this series as well with far less shout outs, letting you, the listener, enjoy the jazz/funk mix more. No discredit to Lord Finesse, we know you've got skillz, but chill out on all the shout outs boy, damn!

If you want good music then find out who the artis are on this CD and buy the albums. If you want to listen to shout outs then this is the album for you. Every got damn 2 minutes Lord Finesse wants to shout out to someone. If he's not shouting out then someone is popping up on the CD shouting out. The music is great and that's why I bought the CD but to listen to him talk through the entire CD made me want to pimp slap him for messing up the CD. The other CD's by The Biz and Pete Rock are nice and not as much talking but seriously I wouldn't recommend this CD unless you can find someone to burn it from.

Lord Finesse is the man and unbeatable. His funky breaks are more obscure... none of that Grant Green stuff either. In fact, you wonder why this man is not more appreciated in his lifetime at all. Indeed, I will admit that his cutting skills are impeccable and quite a beaut by all means too. The sound is the best mono and definitely worth listening for all the tracks one by one...

I'm with what they said about the shout out's, I really wasn't feelin this CD though, Not Impresses.I'd Give it 1 1/2 stars but it can have the benifit of the doubt and have 2
