Nigga Big L was nice but not better than Biggie, a West coast nigga would never give Biggie props. Big L was closer to Jay Z as far as NYC It's, Rakim, Naz Biggie
Big L gets slept on because he was gone before his time but that man was a beast . Nobody wanted smoke with him . His stuff is still legendary to this day . I remember when he hit the scene and we were all tripping out
Real talk,them girls will latch on to a drug dealer in a sec,but a 9 to 5 guy,working hard to doing demolition or construction at a site,gets no play.Sad....
We went to H.S. School together was in the same homeroom class lived a couple blocks away when he got on he gave me his first tape outta his pocket himself cause he knew I played music on the corner of my block Lamont was very humble very quiet very observant kid used to take the bus home from school didn’t even know he was on it until he got off😂😢
Wrd I've always said BigL is 🔝 5 & definitely paved the way for rappers like Banks, Fabolous,Jada. I say that to say this: U listen to those guys;they somewhat carried his flow🎤
"You see? Corleone, Ice spinnin', jigged out, white linen and if a bitch don't like me she must like women" RIP Big L! Horrorcore genius! Top 10 in my book!
@@juliunofaquitaine I know that. L''s alter ego was Corleone. I just pasted fucking lyrics from google and I didn't read. My bad. Thanks for correction.
I approve of this message. I got even more respect for Warren G now. Big L was up there with the best, point blank period. I used to bump his music in 'inappropriate' places and be like "What!?!?"
@@BKLYN_MADE_ME Lmao that should br Rakim tha God not Biggie who bites shit like Notorious B1, King Tee flow and I can go on if you’d like. If the king is a biter its a biting ass town
@@357twilson Nah did I offend your feelings? Lmao I am a hip hop head. I ain’t no stan they are all ppl after all. Pac is great because he was original. Thats what Hip hop is being original. Now you could be a grown up and debate my argument with some facts or you could deflect this in some other direction like you just tried. Rakim is the greatest, biggie bites and was way more sneaky than ppl like to give credit to. Amazing voice, amazing cadences but still a biter
I love some Biggie, but when I heard, "I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet", I cracked up. Big L didn't just sound great on a track, but he was legitimately clever.
Big L was colder than a mf just go back and pull his music up and realize what time period that was he was rhyming like that it’s similar to when Nas came out spitting the way he was spitting
🤔 It's crazy to me that literally and inarguably some of the greatest MCs / rappers ever are dead. Biggie, 2Pac, Big L, Big Pun. All top 15 MCs ever who died way too early. 🤯
No the original beat is what Big liked.Puff is the one who wanted a more radio beat like Juicy Big hated that beat, Puff knew had too make hits. Plus back then a sample would be used by a gang of rappers it wasn't exclusive too one person.
@@shenglongisback4688 What about his name? Notorious B1? “From the mississipi down to the east coast?” Whats your explanation for that huh? Puff made him say it?😂😂
@@nzgkilla that's not the same. Big didn't know how too make hits listen too ready too die if Puff hadn't put Juicy and made the remix too one chance in hiphop circles its awesome a classic. Mainstream wouldn't of listen too Biggie his music too street.
Lyrically, Big L got this one. I agree with people who say that Biggie made better songs. But for me it’s mostly about bars, wordplay, rhyme schemes and clever lines so L got that one
Getting his flowers ❤️ we need more podcast to share light on him. "I never walk the streets without the vest and the chrome cause all my jewels be rocky like silvester stalone"
@@TalentedMisterHeat8Like the kids that believe Jay-Z was a massive drug kingpin that was feared by many in the streets BK, Trenton, NJ, and Maryland because they watched that fake movie, Streets is Watching…. That whole thing was Jay capping…. 😂😂😂😂
@@nmr20067He was never a massive drug dealer but he was out in the streets. Plenty niggas told the story how the met Jay and Dame by hustling so what the fuck are you talking about them niggas came up with the own money . So before speaking on the niggas you need to get the full understanding of niggas background and where they came from and there come up
I mean again they both was influenced by Big Daddy Kane . Big L was also influenced by Lord Finesse so what are we talking about there early demo of Big L sounding like Big Daddy Kane so if you wanted to say Jay-Z and Big L came from the school of Big Daddy Kane you could say that you niggas gotta start doing ya homework stop saying all this dumb shit act like you know rap.
L was a hell of a talent, i kicked it with him on 139th and Lennox as thats where my homeboy grew up, but sorry he is not someone you can pick over Big, thats absurd he doesnt have the body of work anywhere near comparable to Big altho he was an incredible rapper
I remember seeing his video mvp back in the 90s thinking this night aight. Then I got the album a few years later and blew my fucking mind. Big L is very very underrated. He put Jay Z on and Mace.
Why tho? If it wasn't for the media attention and the west vs east beef, would biggie be so hyped? With only two albums? Nah, keep it real! Big L is levels above biggie!
@@hoopc.r.u.7593you can’t be serious can you? Big L was a struggling rapper when Biggie was the biggest rap star in the world. Everyone was checking for Biggie. Big L was out and couldn’t write a hit record for nothing.
@@hoopc.r.u.7593 how many great songs does Big L have? He had great bars, but how many songs? He’s the classical example of a rapper that can rap on verses, however song writing was lacking.
