Lord Finesse

The Awakening


This is my favorite Lord Finesse (D.I.T.C) release from '96. His style of both on the mic and behind the boards is sick. Although my only problem is that there are too many filler tracks of just plain bullshit that it gets annoying and my skip feature comes in handy. BUT its still fresh as ****

Tracklist

1 "Da Sermon (Intro)" Lord Finesse *Interlude*
2 "Time Ta Bounce"
3 "True & Livin'"
4 "O' Lord"
5 "Brainstorm/P.S.K. (No Gimmicks Remix)"
6 "Taking it Lyte"
7 "Gameplan"
8 "Words From Da Ak"
9 "Flip Da Style"
10 "Showtime"
11 "Speak Ya Peace"
12 "Food for Thought"
13 "Da Kid Himself"
14 "Hip 2 Da Game"
15 "No Gimmicks"
16 "Actual Facts"

O.C.

Jewelz


This album and Word...Life get tons of rotation. O.C. brings a sick flow, dope production with the likes of DJ Premier, Ogee, Buckwild, Da Beatminerz, Showbiz, and Lord Finesse! WOW! In addition to Big L as a guest appearance (RIP), which just makes this album even better! My favorite track has probably got to be the Buckwild joint Cant Go Wrong or Stronjay. Although many would go for the Primo tracks but not me sorry :)

Black Moon

Enta Da Stage


I love Da Beatminerz mayne they are sick with the grittyness and the horns n shit. But Buckshot and 5ft. bring mediocore rhymes and lyrical content, its rather lacking imo, Im not much into shit about guns and killing people and knocking peoples heads off or doing driveby's on my skateboard mayne I mean come on we should all be smarter than that by now given that the human race can achieve such brilliant things right? But nonetheless its a classic debut from Black Moon in '93
