Lord Finesse is a TRULY underrated producer..you talk about a brotha who epitomized that grimy boom bap 1990s hip hop sound...and he was one of the best producers on the mic bar none..
@CASHXRAT8 жыл бұрын
Grimy boom bab is my favorite shit. Throw in some jazz, on another level. The Prunes were some good exemplars of what I'm talking about. Check the Beats from the Vault mix. To anyone.

The Diggin in the Crates crew were interviewed for two books which save the true methods of real MCing, the titles are *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2*. Here is a quote from O.C. of DITC in them- ''I learned about creating new lyrics from old lines from Pharoahe Monch. Pharoahe is the king of one-liners. He’ll write down a line five years ago, and it’ll end up on a song five years later. I asked him one time why he do that, and he was just like, sometimes you can’t sit there and write a whole record or write a whole rhyme - it might fall off after the 6th bar, the 10th bar, the 2nd bar, whatever the case is, but you don’t force it - it’s got to flow."
