Great Reaction right here man You get it. You understand it. I'm an 80s baby grew up on this era listening to the best to ever touch a mic & Big L is one of the greatest lyricist ever. This is one of Jay's best verses he knew he had to bring his A game. RIP L
So glad you like Big L, Harlems finest. probably could've been finest worldwide, punchline king, Looking forward to more Big L Reactions from you. to name few, "Size em up" "Casualties of a dice game" "8 iz enuff" "Lifestylez of the poor and dangerous" "Danger zone" "Furious anger" "MVP" "Hard to kill freestyle" "The big picture intro" "Tony's Touch" "you know what im about" ohh man there are so many more but these came to mind.
@@user-mp3lt9ib8d Yeah but i wouldnt say he was Harlems finest, he was a good motivational rapper, like you REALLY felt what he was saying, but in terms of skill, Big L wins.
Big L was a juggernaut on that mic 🔥💯🔥🔥 you should check out his 94 freestyle or his 93 freestyle or his songs Street struck, lifestyles ov da poor and dangerous, danger zone, how will I make it, I don’t understand it. The list goes on he’s never disappointed me lol
This is absolutely a piece of hip hop history right here and the fact that it took place live on the radio thank you stretch and Bobbito for all the greatness you gave us
This freestyle was taken from the legendary Stretch and Bobbito. Without them some of the biggest names of hip hop would not probably have gotten their props.
Peace! Big L( Lamont ) was my schoolmate at Julia Richman High School. Mase( Mason ) was my classmate as well until Fall 1990. He transferred to Manhattan Center to play on the basketball team with Cam'ron. Also, a schoolmate of mine was, "Alimoe" of the "And 1 mixtape" basketball team.
Iconic moment in hip hop history. Been telling people to listen to this for 2 decades.. you should be looking at Wretch 32 fire in the booths.. will blow your mind.
This is actually the freestyle/ moment in which big L teaches jay-s freeztyling tecniques,. To which Jay-z says changed him into rapping actual full songs without writing anything down. Just freestyles many verses. Rewinds, stops and rerecords over in sections where he might not like and thats how jay makes songs, a blend of freestyles. Learned from big L.
U really didn't make not 1 mention of big L not even mention his name.... I understand that u never heard of big L but he dominated this song and he was up there and he said he was way ahead of his time RIP big L if he was still alive I really believe he would be one of the greatest till this day and I hope u give him his props and listen to big L albums
I’ve read a couple thing on it and my subs can help me if it’s true or not. It’s says a priest is supposed to be celibate. If big L flow is so tight he can get a priest excited… damm
At the second Jay Z verse you can tell he was struck by the way L rhymed his second verse, L opaqued him in this they were both amazing either way! Big L!
