This Saturday, party people. Though he's best known for his many classic recordings and mic heroics like this legendary battle...
(Gotta love the way the music from the Mister Softee truck drifts in and nearly drowns everything out about a minute into Part 2 - so New York.)
... and even his productions - laying claim to the emotional finales on both Ready to Die and Dr. Dre 2001 - folks don't realize just how nice Finesse is on the mix. Last year when he came thru he kilt it - doing nifty stuff like looping up a section of "ABC" and dropping the "O.P.P." acappella over it, premiering a sick Marvin Gaye/Fantasy Three exclusive thing he did etc.
Anyways, in commemoration of his return here's an intriguing oddity from his production discography - a very D.I.T.C. -sounding (as in the beat wouldn't have been out of place on Lifestylez Uv Da Poor & Dangerous) promo SWV remix featuring Roc Raida on the cut and some nameless female rapper dropping an absolutely excruciating (though mercilessly short) verse. (Fortunately, it's more than three minutes into the track so plenty of time to get out and onto the next record.) Enjoy.
