4.0 out of 5 stars OG Funk, August 10, 2001

This review is from: Return of the Funky Man (Audio CD)

Finesse has done music for OC, Biggie, Brand Nubian, and Blue Note Records, but before all that he was a super-talented ( well he still is ) punchline rapper. This is a treasure from the golden period of East Coast hiphop ('87-'94 ) with beats from Diamond, Show b-i and The funkyman himself. This is beats and rhymes wtih the alll-natural funk. If you dig deep enough in the crates you will find it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lord Finesse delivers wit and funk!, October 18, 2000

Lord Finesse improves on his first effort by using more obscure funk samples and drops some witty rhymes. I think that he's utterly hilarious and full of flava!

this was the least sold but his finest effort to date. hopefully he will be dropping another album next year! All his fans are waiting for his funky go-ahead, simple-set production and utterly unique stylings of his voice!

peaze everyone and cop this mf! Prinz alfie

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites., August 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Return of the Funky Man (Audio CD)

For me, this album took "Funky Technician" to the next level. Finesse was 19 and funky on his last LP, but now he's 21 and hungry here. The production has advanced from simple James Brown loops to thunderous anthems (Fat for the 90's, Praise the Lord, the title track) cool posse cuts (Yes You May, Show 'Em How We Do Things) and laid back grooves (Hey Look at Shory, That's How Smooth I Am). This is the best comeback album ever; Finesse was dropped by Wild Pitch and floating in musical Limbo for a a year. Nice album all the way through.
