Salute appreciate you all - IM FROM QUEENS
No disrespect bc I love Big L but in other interviews they said he tried to set dude up for his brother and Buddy caught wind of it and that's why he killed him, but I'm not from Harlem and wasn't there.
Big L was a really good dude with a good heart.I once met him on a humble on Lenox near 135th, and I was a lil tipsy and he asked if I was aight and then told me to go inside, because I was in no condition to be on the streets. I will always respect and appreciate the human decency he showed me that night. He could have responded in a few different ways, but it is when nobody is watching and we are by ourselves that our true character can be recognized as the greatest representation of ourselves...R.I.P my brother! He was not a casualty but should be an example of how far things can go when you fight with your brother over dumb shit. Sometimes our egos lead us to a humility that cannot be accepted until it’s too late to be humble enough to check ourselves and apologize. It takes nothing to swallow your pride, but everything to try to protect a reputation, that in the end don’t mean shit. Which is why our fallen are on the walls in murals, not named after streets, stores, or housing projects that some lost their life to represent and protect. Peace to all brothers and sisters trying to make their way in life for none of us may have the answers,...however let us begin to set new examples of what they might and can be for our children and future generations.
Black people ARE the ORIGINAL humans in this universe, on this planet! We ARE the TRUE representation of god, humanity, peace and civilization. Remember that! I would like to assume (and I dislike assuming things btw) that most if not every rapper during the 80s and 90s acknowledge that especially east coast rappers. And if you don't believe that then good luck on surviving the uncertain future we're now living in! #Black1st #BigLRIP #RestInBeats #BlackMenIsGod
Thats fucking dope man thanks for sharing. Big L is my favorite rapper. You always hear lots of good stories about Pac or big names. Buts its good to hear L was a real one too. Peace brother
@@user-xb4fm5rx8h your status of how big of a star you are, vs how good you are lyrically are 2 completely different things. If you're a big star everybody wants to copy you and be like you and that s*** wears off pretty quick but if you got The Best of the Best rhymes nd music out there, that s*** will live on forever.
Unfortunately crimes are usually committed close to the home of the criminal too much risk driving out of town. Unless you going out to another hood where you can blend in. Sad really. Your question made me realize how fucked up I was back In The day 🤦🏻♂️
I have yet to see any of these thugs, GANGSTAS or whatever do anything to a white man. Lawrd, Clutch my pearls if a white person gets hurt in the "Hood".
Brother has a point retaliatory games should be played at the pace of the retaliator. It’s all about timing and self gratification. It could be right after the wake of your fallen brother or years later when everybody forgot about it.
BIG L was the most Valuable Poet on the mic!!! .....Thanks for saving my life by teaching me Ebonics, otherwise being a foreigner I would have been probably killed in the streets of NY and NJ. I was able to safely return home to Angola after finishing my studies. R.I.P. Lamont Coleman!
No matter what, to me, Big L is #1 on my list of legendary rappers. He didn't have a long catalog of material, but man, what he blessed us with was enough to be convinced that he was extremely talented and to earn that spot. In my book at least.

I heard big L was tryna set his killer up for his brother but the guy who was supposed to do the hit fucked up to the point where buddy realised he was being lined up and killed big L and alot of people feel like he was justified in his actions despite who big l was

FREE WILL DEFENDER am I bugging or is that the same dude they gave the chain to in paid in full when Rico snatched him out the car and made the dude strip?
I was raised grew up 147 / 146 stnick til I was 17. I took my daughter up there few months ago for the first time. Haven’t been there since we moved out in June 2007 and brought me back memories that I was smiling from ear to ear! 😅😅❤❤ #HarlemForLife
I was in Harlem in 2014 to see the mural and grab a bite to eat...the people could tell I wasn’t from there I got a few “what are you doing over here?” From some of the older people on the block...just told them I was there to see L and they let me rock...its not that bad over there...u can die anywhere just gotta be respectful.
One time I went to take a picture of the big L mural and two OGs that were outside the park across the street told me “ Go to ASAP Rockys block, get out of here with that shit .” I just ignored them and kept it pushing , I have a feeling they personally knew big L
Ehhhhh Harlem is SUPER gentrified now , so I don't know about all this "tough block" talk CURRENTLY. Back in the day I believe it . Hella white tourists take pictures at the Big L mural currently.
Big L came to Durham, NC, "The Bullcity" to visit Big Bootsie and he had a tooth ache. I was D. Jaying for Big Bucks & 404, I took L to get some Tylenol. He was a smooth & good guy!!! Boostie right about that shit!!!!
Walk through 140th every other day. It used to be like that. It ain't no more. If you thoro it doesnt matter what block you go through. Respect to 140th tho, shit definitely was real. Bk to Harlem 💯💯 Love Harlem

Because most of the movie production companies and studios are now based in Atlanta. The entire film industry is based there now. They're currently filming Coming To America Part II in Atlanta right now.
This is "Big L". Not a play write. Not a video. Plus.... Its gonna be low budget. So, They could have filmed that shit all in Harlem and The Bronx...if it ever comes out.
Don't do it! It doesn't matter where your from, there's killers everywhere. You open doors that are never to be open. God commands it clearly first on the list. 10 COMMANDMENTS. Big L rest in peace and everyone everywhere all over the world who have been murderd from all violence from all hoods and ghettos all over the world my heart is there with you. Life is too short. Life is just a blink compared to eternity heaven but there is a hell. Where will you go? Love conquers all, be humble. Keep faith in Jesus. Your still alive. Everything happens for a reason. Thank God for the good and the bad. And stop the hate in your heart. Forgive and do your best to be humble and forget. I'm gonna stop but this from the heart to whoever feel where I'm coming from. Much love and God bless everyone in the struggle. Stay solid and God bless
You a run on sentence . You don’t know if there’s a heaven or hell or Jesus your told what to believe from birth . You’re indoctrinated to your mindset … you know not of what you speak of in all actuality respectfully the truth would shut your brain down ….
dom 123 1 of my cousins who came up in lincoln p’s & knew max before he blew up told me hes actually from the 130s if i remember correctly ( early 130s )
Lived in Harlem and went to CCNY for 4 years. The summer is always poppin but nothing funnier than being drunk as fuck at 4 am in the dead of winter knowing ain’t nobody around rn.
My girlfriend lives on 138th. I ball in the park on 140th all the time. Seems pretty regular these days. Took me a while to realize that was Cam's block. On welcome to New York City.. he said "I'm from 101 West 140th the shit is live.." and one day I randomly peeped that the green awning says 101 W. 140 on it
Rest in peace to the late great Lamont Coleman aka Big l one of the greatest lyricists ever his legacy will live on forever legends never dies 👑🐐🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There's so many conflicting stories to Big L"s death. I hear what the guy in the red hoodie is saying but has anyone heard the short freestyle that Cam'ron did a few yrs back explaining why Big L was killed?
Everything was burned out shells. My cousins bought a brownstone a few blocks up from there back when they were doing the $1 thing in the 90s... can definitely confirm what it once was versus what it is now.
I remember when Ebonics came out🔥🔥🔥.. shit was the craziest joint in the streets💯💯 speak with criminal slang.. quick fact big l died on my 18th birthday 2/15/99.. that same night Badu had her big concert for mamas gun album at radio city music hall.. bilal opened for her that night leading with the song soul sista
Big L allegedly made a call telling his brother where someone he was looking for was. That person was then murdered. That's what this guy isn't saying.
There is more to the story about Big L and his brother's death. There is a book written by one of Big L's homeboys telling what happened. In the book, it said that Big L's brotha was a shady dude and L was running around talking about something he should have been talking about.

I don't understand how y'all going to ATLANTA to do a casting For a HARLEM RAP LEGEND.
Check out my New Album LOUDER THAN WORDS I'd really appreciate it! PURPOSE official🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! ig............ @purpose410 www.soundcloud.com/bbrforever-purpose
Because most of the movie production companies and studios are now based in Atlanta. The entire film industry is based there now. They're currently filming Coming To America Part II in Atlanta right now.
Doesnt mean the cast is from ATL only my guy just mean they did it in atl smh lol
How you don’t understand it’s Hollywood? 😂😂😂 didn’t you see how they did on Lifetime😂😂😂!
This is "Big L". Not a play write. Not a video. Plus.... Its gonna be low budget. So, They could have filmed that shit all in Harlem and The Bronx...if it ever comes out.
Don't do it! It doesn't matter where your from, there's killers everywhere. You open doors that are never to be open. God commands it clearly first on the list. 10 COMMANDMENTS. Big L rest in peace and everyone everywhere all over the world who have been murderd from all violence from all hoods and ghettos all over the world my heart is there with you. Life is too short. Life is just a blink compared to eternity heaven but there is a hell. Where will you go? Love conquers all, be humble. Keep faith in Jesus. Your still alive. Everything happens for a reason. Thank God for the good and the bad. And stop the hate in your heart. Forgive and do your best to be humble and forget. I'm gonna stop but this from the heart to whoever feel where I'm coming from. Much love and God bless everyone in the struggle. Stay solid and God bless
You a run on sentence .
You don’t know if there’s a heaven or hell or Jesus your told what to believe from birth . You’re indoctrinated to your mindset … you know not of what you speak of in all actuality respectfully the truth would shut
your brain down ….

Lived in Harlem and went to CCNY for 4 years. The summer is always poppin but nothing funnier than being drunk as fuck at 4 am in the dead of winter knowing ain’t nobody around rn.
Put it on big l put it on.. Rip, one of the greatest freestylers ever
One of the best tracks ive ever heard put it on big brother put it on
My girlfriend lives on 138th. I ball in the park on 140th all the time. Seems pretty regular these days. Took me a while to realize that was Cam's block. On welcome to New York City.. he said "I'm from 101 West 140th the shit is live.." and one day I randomly peeped that the green awning says 101 W. 140 on it
One of ya best interviews QF Keep doing what you’re doing...All the way from BMORE
Baltimore county represent!
#R.I.P Big L
One of the best to ever do it!
Big L is 🐐 of Harlem
I was working security guard at mother Zion on 140 & 8th Ave and when Rich died the building was sick
Rest in peace to Big L... I always wonder what if he was alive today how his music career and life would have went.
Rest in peace to the late great Lamont Coleman aka Big l one of the greatest lyricists ever his legacy will live on forever legends never dies 👑🐐🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Flip make these niggaz wait for the full interview... this shit gold
How is cam not from 40th ?
Great interview ! Lots of details to the legend
I been waiting on the street struck documentary to drop forever someone make it happen please!!
There's so many conflicting stories to Big L"s death. I hear what the guy in the red hoodie is saying but has anyone heard the short freestyle that Cam'ron did a few yrs back explaining why Big L was killed?
Link please
@@MrgetyouDone818 ua-cam.com/video/FPkJ4Oz4rbc/v-deo.html
I'll take this guy's word for it over a rapper's
@@cartierjoe Cam'ron isn't just a random rapper smh
@@dsg3053 exactly Cam and Big L came up together they was in Children of the Corn with Mase and McGruff. People just be saying anything
Is the movie still happing? Reach out if so! We would be interested in participating in financing!
The part of the streets that’s horrific the killing of our own over beefs that could be settled through conflict resolution......😟
Facts. I wonder what led up to the events that got L killed. If it was preventable.
This Bootsie interview is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 seems like a honorable stand up guy
I’m from Detroit and I already been realized Big L would of been top 5 if he would’ve lived
Yo these stories be 🔥
interviewers corny. 2 interviewees solid street dudes
114th between 7th & 8th was definitely the worst from the 80s until about 10 years ago when they rebuilt the buildings.
Everything was burned out shells. My cousins bought a brownstone a few blocks up from there back when they were doing the $1 thing in the 90s... can definitely confirm what it once was versus what it is now.
These stories are intriguing as fuck and sad at the same time man.
I just realised the guy in burgundy is in paid in full lol
Big L shouldn’t got involved or been involved in his brothers beef he had to much going for his self
Your brothers beef is yours
People need to pay homage to big l and do they research .eminem ain't the king of rap
Eminem is black
RIP Big L, one of the greatest ever💯💯💯
I remember when Ebonics came out🔥🔥🔥.. shit was the craziest joint in the streets💯💯 speak with criminal slang.. quick fact big l died on my 18th birthday 2/15/99.. that same night Badu had her big concert for mamas gun album at radio city music hall.. bilal opened for her that night leading with the song soul sista
I was 7 years in 1999
You got to see that show?
Big L allegedly made a call telling his brother where someone he was looking for was. That person was then murdered. That's what this guy isn't saying.
"If you don't have a chance to do it (murder) right, leave it alone..." -- so we condone murder now. Oh okay.
Crazy how as I read this shit he said it, that's happening alot lately lol
Its not condoning it but just saying if you're gonna do it, do it right.
My opinion, but I don’t think he was condoning murder. He was just explaining how it works on the streets. Shedding light on the culture.
Why are so many Black people lacking in BASIC contextual comprehension nowadays???
There is more to the story about Big L and his brother's death. There is a book written by one of Big L's homeboys telling what happened. In the book, it said that Big L's brotha was a shady dude and L was running around talking about something he should have been talking about.
What's the name of the book. I would like to get it
@@stevendasilva9287 u can look up a documentary on the NFL crew it's talks bout why big L was called
@@stevendasilva9287 its a doc on here on infominds page called the 139th st nfl crew that tells everything
@@quanbrooklynkid7776 thanks. I appreciate it
@@313DMan1 thanks.
Shoutout to my Jamaican plug on 145 & St Nicks. Had that fire in the late 90's.
Jamaican Spanglers had 145th and Edgecomb hard back in the day. Til the feds took them down
@@Amidat yeah man right by the park. Had this one dread they use to call Froggy.
@@k_won456official2 now they got brand new buildings over there - lol
He’s hilarious. I like his story telling
Love ❤️ you L. Rip
Big L would of been better then Biggie but wasn't around long enough and I'm from Queens Nas all day, mad respect to L
Maybe but Biggie only got 2 albums just like Big L. So idk for sure if I agree but Big L was a beast.
False
Nah never both great tho
If Big L had someone by his side like Diddy,he would’ve definitely surpassed BIG.
@@Lil_HooLeeSheet if he had diddy by his side he'd either still be dead, in jail, broke or crazy like his other artists
Still haven't heard anything about the movie. I would be interested to finance it at that budget. Reach out! RIP Big L
😢
checkout nfl street crew, theres a reason youll never see it. it wont paint a pretty picture and they dont want people talking $$$
Big l was one of the greatest rappers ever the big picture cd was a display of ability rip my boi 😇

I’m from 110st & Lexington. I walked through those neighborhoods all by myself and nobody said anything to me. What is he talking about?
He talking bout how it was back in the day... I walked all thru uptown from 126 and 7th to the Rucker and back down 8th Ave after I crossed the bridge to the BX... Got white people all thru Harlem.... Shit ain't like that anymore but I can see how that shit was hella wild back when... I walked all thru St Nick projects and nobody said a thing...
whoa wait. ...i know im late but, dude was really goin to Big L events???? yo thats heavy-duty! DID NOT KNOW THAT!
L from 139 the danger zone. R.i.p. Big L
Crazy big l was 24 when he passed same age as biggie and Tupac that’s crazy 😮😮
