On February 24, 2010 New York celebrated a major cornerstone in hip-hop history with the Ultimate Breaks and Beats Live to commemorate the original release of the Ultimate Breaks and Beats compilation (1981-1991) and its creators, the late Breakbeat Lenny Roberts and Louis Break Beat Lou Flores. The event will showcase some of the most talented DJs in New York City that will display their extraordinary turntablist skills as they pay tribute the music collection that transformed the face of hip-hop for over three decades. The historic night will take place at B.B. Kings with doors opening at 6:00 PM and the show beginning at 8:00 PM and will also serve as a launch party for the upcoming Ultimate Breaks and Beats national tour.
The Ultimate Breaks and Beats compilation played a pivotal role in shaping hip-hop by providing DJs with the essential tools they needed to create many of the popular party anthems of the era, legendary mixes, and ultimately the foundation of early hip-hops infamous eclectic sound. The 25 volume compilation was co-created by the late Breakbeat Lenny and Break Beat Lou who released the collection over a span of 10 years (1981-1991) as hip-hop was just beginning to take shape.
The compilation conveniently extracted drum breaks from hit rock, disco, and funk songs and created entire songs worth of what would become the most sought after beats providing a critical library for DJs and producers. This style become integral to every aspect of hip-hop from the DJ to the B-boys and B-girls to the MCs who rapped over the signature sounds, and now the hip-hop community will gather to pay respect in true hip-hop fashion.
This night is a special moment for a lot of people not just me, says Luis Flores This is just another dope party; its the night when the DJ Worlds elite honor the foundation of present day hip-hop. A list of hip-hops whose who will be on hand to give riveting first hand examples of classic break beat turntabilism as they recognize Break Beat Lou and Breakbeat Lenny for their monumental contributions to what has become one of the largest global music genres ever, hip-hop.

Abstrakt Cratery - Mixed by Lord Finesse
I literally say this every time I post a Lord Finesse mix, but I'll say it again; I don't understand why I ALWAYS overlook this guy as a top echelon deejay. All of his mixes (which I think 99% of are recorded live) are Highly Recommended status.

Live from The Boogie Blind Residence - Mixed by Lord Finesse
I forgot to post this last week. All of these Lord Finesse mixes that have been dropping the last year and change are absolute fire. As great of a producer and MC that Finesse is, I think he is a better deejay than anything else. Enjoy.
This was recorded Live From Boogie Blind's Residence… This is for your listening pleasure.. I definitely asked for my brother's (DJ Boogie Blind) assistance on this one.. "The Art of Diggin'" continues.. This mix is for music lovers, collectors, diggers.. etc.. Hopefully this inspires people to continue on with the saga for collecting vinyl, rare grooves & searching for the perfect jewel.. Love & God Bless…

Part 2 of Lord Finesse's Live in Tokyo just hit the web. I couldn't wait until tomorrow to post so here you all go. Enjoy
Lord Finesse - Live From Tokyo Pt.1 (Soundwave Tour 2.14.13)
Update: 9 minutes into this bad boy and I'm very impressed so far. Highly Recommended (at the 9 minute mark at least)
2nd Update: Now 17 minutes in and I think this might be the mix of the year so far. Perfect way to go into the weekend.
If Lord Finesse was a baseball player he'd be in the Robert Hall of Fame for his Triple Crown record in hip-hop. Whether he's on the microphone, drum machine, or turntables, you know he'll be chasing that MVP crown. Last month The Underboss and Slice Of Spice hit Japan for the 'Soundwave Tour' where Finesse tore it up on the 1s and 2s. We recorded a live 2 hour set on 2.14.13 in Tokyo and as promised we're sharing it with all his fans in two FREE DOWNLOAD installments. ENJOY!
Crate Diggers: Lord Finesse
Obviously, any episode of Crate Diggers is must see t.v. But, check the classic story of Finesse discussing how disappointed he was when Puffy wouldn't let him produce for Mary J. Blige and asked him to lace a no name rapper named Big instead. Enjoy.
Lord Finesse Documentary
Wow! This is a priceless little slice of hip hop history. I think this documentary is from one of the public NYC stations from the mid 90's. Absolute classic.
