He was the Rapper with the biggest Potential. I mentioned it in another Vid already today cause i think a lot of him every fkn February. Specially this year. He had it all. The voice, the flow, the rap intelligence, the freakin speed and chain lines that inspired many other rappers. Also he was smart. He didnt only party and fuck all night n day. He was informed about his world, but also the world itself. The by stupid mainstream ppl disliked albums. They didnt get it. He wanted to tell a story like Scorcese, and he wanted that 40s tribute beat. He knew many wouldnt understand and wouldnt like it, he didnt care. and he knew exactly that he was in danger, he wasnt stupid. but he was so stubborn and underestimated the insanity of one of the 2 most disgusting persons of NY. he didnt want an army arround him. jeez, he should have. if i imagine the project that would have been next. it would have been greatness i bet my fkn .....! well, that was his death sentence. too many ppl knew that his success would cost em a bit of their beloved money. and others also checked the nike sports bag and broke their promises. and the stupid wnb rappers who wear las vegas raiders caps since SOC was in cinemas, recorded super sweet 16 featuring this bunch of pricks and think that makes em part of the rap scene, they still download this low level crap on spotify since they dont own 1210s and praise this "label" as one of the best. its the reason why there are only about 10 rappers left i listen too sometimes who were there when i was a teen. but the fact this cancer that began to spread 25 yrs ago since the Killing of L was a message and why they talk about "keepin it real" they all pay taxes and the grey eminence laughs cause one of em gets one platin record after the other and the other one gets one platin omega, platek pp, cars built in italy and get smashed by a cheap rx-7....no, i think the rap scene is dead. it only lives on youtube, but on channels like this, owned by singapoore companies and completely created by bought software. one luck we had that many us soldiers in germany back in the day, otherwise i micht had missed L too.

Can't go around sticking up stash houses and think there won't be a repercussion, don't care who you are, if someone in your crew involved you are involved, doesn't matter if you was there or not! He definitely had his own style and was on his way, it was bad timing and marketing, also his involvement with the street ish!

11:51 What a suffering life he must have led. So much pain and coldness. He was talented beyond anything we now see, but STRESS got him. The world took over and he lost control of the ride.” 💯definitely a major top 5 rapper if all time. 😎☑️

to me big L was one of the original serious metaphor punchline creators.. 1/5 that taught me how to rap & put it on beat was the first beat I ever wrote a song to in 5th grade .. rap would be incredibly different and maybe on another level just cause this one dude alone 🥲😌

I always said if Big L did a track with Eminem and Big Pun itd be the greatest rap song ever

He said there was rumor he beat JZ in a rap battle……JZ was nothing compared to Big L lyrically, completely different levels

His LOTPAD album was great back in the day and is probably even better now! I can still listen to it from nose to tail and enjoy it. It's just one of those timeless albums. No one releases one album, gets immediately noticed by so many people, and is still relevant and talked about ~30 years later if they're not bringing something a little special to the party...
