AUDIO: Lord Finesse DJ Set, Interview on the Railroad

the tech's technique, cuz he's a technician

Last week we had one of the greats, Lord Finesse, manning the turntables for a full hour and sitting down to reminisce with us about all the history he's made and witnessed. Sometimes it's really cool to have a radio show. You can hear the whole two hours below, also including a full set from Monk One:

Lord Finesse is one of my favorite mc/producers/dj's it was dope hearing him on the set Sat. Night. Thanks Underground Railroad for bringing this about. What's even doper is that U.R. is on it's 15 years and running.

What's crazy is that Finesse is being a called a legend. It's true and shows that this culture is long lasting.

It would be dope to hear more shows like this and Easy Mo Bee and Red Alert thanks Underground Railraod.

Finesse is hands down one of my top 5 MC's of all time. And what's crazy is I was just over at his website last night checking out the old school flicks they have up. Good looking out on this Jay.

Finesse is the man, believe that...."

Finesse deserves all the love for his MC, Production and DJ skills...
but, man, he is also consistently one of the best INTERVIEWEES you will ever find in hip-hop.
Just perfect combo of swagger, humiility, timing and cadence... always something humorous and interesting and always real.
Thanks for reminding us!

Yeah I wish we could have gone on much longer, I felt like we could've talked 5 more hours without slowing down.

I just looked at the picture again, Is that Bill Cosby chillin in the back?

Good looking for this, Jay. Lord Finesse is one of the reasons I love rap.

Oh my word! I'm at a loss of words right now, and I'm only 25 minutes into the audio. Lord Finesse, Jay Smooth--thank you both.

I can't believe Finesse put on the Mark the 45 King remix instrumental to "The Mack of Rap" by Markie Fresh!! Ummh, ummh, ummh!
