    Funky Technician was a damn good album.And yeah, Lord Finesse is severely underrated. Not only was he a great lyricist, but his production was also great. He was the complete package. It's really weird as to why he was so underrated.

    The record dealer that Finesse is speaking of that held up the record collection for Prince B (PM Dawn), was Pittsburgh's own Jerry, of Jerry's Records. A LOT of producers quietly come through here. An unnamed producer bought Jerry's ENTIRE 45 room.

    I think i finally found out what track he sampled this Magnum record on. Re-listening through a lot of the Funky Man's production, i'm 100% pretty sure he sampled the song "Which Doctor's Brew" for the bassline of Big L's Street Struck. He definitely filtered out the low end, re-arranged parts from the sample and probably did some pitching.

      Yeah most of the hit records Dre has made were produced by him, but the beats he bought from someone else. Half of the beats on Doggystyle were made by Daz Dillinger but Dre produced the album. He's more on an overseer now like what he did with Kendrick's album.
