We all know what a classic Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth’s “Funky Technician” is and what amazing early work Premier put down on that disc. Now, Finesse has linked up with Slice Of Spice for several releases (he has already dropped one or two 7″ singles and two dope mix sessions on CD), including a series of seven 7″ featuring previously unreleased material. Enjoy the snippet for this ’89 demo for the album:
“What you have right here is the start of a song created during the making of the Funky Technician LP, that was never finished. Lyrically, it was actually parts of a live routine that I was trying to convert into a song for the album. DJ Premier found the loop and started putting the track together, but once Stu Fine (Wild Pitch Records owner) heard the track he immediately made me stop recording due to the extremely raw content. So this unfinished track remained stashed for over 20 years until recently. It’s funny ‘cos listening to it now makes me wonder what the hell I was thinking [Laughing]. I’m personally glad Stu & DJ Premier made me change my mind, but the track is now being released as an extremely rare limited edition promo. You can thank Rich (Slice Of Spice) for the constant persuasion ‘cos if it was left to me I’d have left it buried in the stash!” -Lord Finesse

Hi, nothing related to the post:
can anyone tell me who is the Comedian sampled at the beginning of Jeru’s “Ain’t the Devil happy”? cannot google it and for a non-american it’s really hard to find.
(i know Premier also took a sample from this comedian on one of his mixtapes, sth funny about a car door and the word “mothatfu…” ;).
Peace & thanks
the snippet is pure dopeness!!!
wasn’t that Richard Pryor that was sampled on that song, plus alot on “Livin’ Proof” as well and countless other hip-hop records. A true legend!
@claaa7
thanks a lot bro.
really strange because I’ve got a Richard Pryor’s DVD (live on stage) I bought during a travel in the UK and to me both voices doesn’t match…maybe in those samples he is imitating someone…
whateva will have a double-check…
merci 🙂
