I drove some young guy that came on the bus too work, home since he missed his bus home i had big l on in my car the guy (17/18 year old i think ) was like after the first song who is this guy he sounds nice i wanna follow him so yeah i guess he was ahead of his time
I'm a 36 yo Aussie and Big L got me into the pen of hip hop when I was 13 with this track!! I still know all the words. Big shout out Stevie you killin it bro keep being you because you are 100 ;P
@@ajstyles7678 Ice Cube is a big influence too, in general and for me. Goes in and out of my top 5. As do others like Denzel Curry, Kanye, Nas, etc... Also I wanna replace Kanye with Common actually, he's fire
Big L is one of my favourite rappers of all time, he’s definitely top 5 🔥 It wasn’t a freestyle he’s done this verse on other accessions. I’d love to react to Big L but I’ve heard all his stuff already. The way he connects words is so inspiring to me when writing rhymes myself.
Big L is in my Top 3, forever. So stoked to see you doin' Big L! You gotta do a Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerouz full album review for us Patreon family!
You a real one with the proper definition of freestyle, which once meant off the top of the dome. Nowadays dudes spitting writtens trying to twist the meaning because they can't spit off the top. Great content as per usual man, cool to see a hip hop head cut from the cloth of appreciating lyricsm. Keep it up man, you'll be 1 milly in no time.
Man, around that time we were really heavy on Big L and DITC in general. The news about Big L didn't hit me as much until Gangstar dropped Full Clip and started off with "Big L rest in peace"
I remember bumpin this when I was 17 in my 93 Grand Am when I had my 2 12" MTX speakers. Not much bass in this track, but it was loud tho 🤣. One of my favorite freestyles!
Curious to see ur reaction to Eyedea & Abilities. RIP to Big L and Eyedea (Sway had him on in his early days on XM) two of my favorite free style artists growing up, both different but both meant alot to me growing up
Big L Harlems Finest!! Should be in everyone's top 10. Personally he is in my top 3 of all time. Edit: also should listen to the full version. This is only part 1
I remembered recording this from Stretch and Bobbito show on WKCR (89.9FM) NYC. I wished I hadn't lost all those tapes I had. If anyone on here I know what I'm talking about, post something up here please.
Big L been in my top 5 since my bro put me onto him when I was in high school. Lost brodie few years ago but I miss talkin to him about L. Not many people are on hip hop that much to know or talk about people like L.
(also also) this was not a freestyle, (off the top) at least not all of it was (i think some might have been). (also also also) there is a second verse to this. Please upload that reaction to YT as well.
Bruh legendary big L was an absolute monster is wordplay on punchlines is insane mind bl🤯wing what's an absolute dope af freestyle fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 right there he went too early so much potential and Talent anyway R.I.P 🙏🏾 legendary big L you are definitely missed
There’s another verse to this one,my personal favorite was the 10 crack commandments freestyle (biggie and dj premiere) but he also has a song w pun recorded in a basement called where you at. I think you should react to that it’s raw
We know back in the day rap was on another level when this was fire af and the dude recording says “for someone tired it wasn’t too bad”. This was considered “not to bad” now a days these new artist can’t come up with nothing half as good even if they write it. 4:46
Big L is top 5 ever. Hands down, heard this freestyle 20 times and it still gets me hype
Fam check out my stuff too fam trust me you will love it
If he lived any longer he would be in a lot of peoples top 5/10
FACTS!!!
Big L would of took all Jay Zs fame if he was still alive
Reach
As he said himself, "I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet"
@Liconic D . Word.
@Liconic D . Truer words have never been uttered.

@@travisharnedmusic. Yes sir.
That "ask Beavis I get nothin But Head" was one of the craziest doubles I ever heard, and that was at least 15 years ago when I heard it
That’s one of the DOPEST lines ever, then, the future, always... crazy iLL!
facts, that line will forever be remembered
The punchline of all punchlines man still love it to this day 🤣
what’s doubled mean
that was in 98
Big L was so ahead of his time man. He's in my top 3 of all time. I bump him every night at work and I memorize his lyrics like scripture.
he was so ahead of his time his parents havent met yet
@@tical94 Exactly 👌

@@tical94 beat me too it. What's that shit that they be smoking?
That butt head line gave me the chills no cap!! Dude was ahead of his time on every level.
What does that line means? Enlighten me..
@@armorking481 the line is "ask beavis i get nothin 'but head' " like the tv show Beavis And Butt Head
@@arsindmp9202 uhhh

Big l is the god of Punchlines,flow,great lyrics..real goat we lost...
“””I drive up and down Harlem Blocks, iced out watch, knots in my socks, cops think I’m selling rocks…”””
“I’m older and smarter, this is me at my best”
MVP 2000, produced by DJ Premier is one of the best tracks ever baby.
This can’t be your 1st time hearing this, late 90’s the big picture was in my rotation.
I'm a 36 yo Aussie and Big L got me into the pen of hip hop when I was 13 with this track!! I still know all the words. Big shout out Stevie you killin it bro keep being you because you are 100 ;P
This one still hurts man, he could have been the greatest rapper to ever fucking do it 🔥😢
Oh shit!!! Big L should be in everyone’s top 10. He’s in my top 5
Big L was was ahead of his time one of the best to ever touch a mic
Best hip-hop era don't matter who enters the scene it will never be the same.
I couldn't agree with you more!!
@@NewyorkRican2191totally miss those days
Big L is in my top 5 of all time, love this freestyle punchline king
Same here: Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Chali 2na (underrated big influence to me), Big L and Common

Ain't no way you saw that Butthead line coming, no one did. That's what made Big L a punchline God
I love it man Big L was part of the rap group children of the corn
Need the full version stevie 🔥
Definitely! This one sounds weird too
this is the full version. the audio sounds like this cos it was recorded live on stretch and bobbito
@@BigChilleha Nah, there's a second verse, and it's in much better quality. This is really choppy like someone has tried to time stretch it
@@DustyDigits ive only ever heard the version on the album
@@BigChilleha the second verse is even more brutal L goes in
Big L is my favourite Rapper period, Biggie and Pac are great and blew up, Big L never gets the recognition.
I know this freestyle word for word. Big L is elite.
Big L is one of my favourite rappers of all time, he’s definitely top 5 🔥
It wasn’t a freestyle he’s done this verse on other accessions.
I’d love to react to Big L but I’ve heard all his stuff already.
The way he connects words is so inspiring to me when writing rhymes myself.
Rest In Peace Big L. Spitting fire in the big cypher in the sky with all the other legends 🙏
Big L is in my Top 3, forever. So stoked to see you doin' Big L! You gotta do a Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerouz full album review for us Patreon family!
One of the greatest what ifs. Way ahead of his time. RIP BIG L AND GURU!
Not too many people know about Guru 💯 him and DJ premiere was a problem!
Big Pun and Big L are my two favorite Lyricist of all time!! RIP My NYC legends!!!!
you can definitely hear how Big L was a huge influence to Em's style when he was recording his first tracks
Thank you for this reaction, hope to see more Big L reactions on your channel, he is untouchable.
bruhh there's a part 2 to that freestyle! Check part 1 and 2 on the stretch and bobbito show!
One of my all time favourite radio freestyles
BIG L IS A LEGEND!! Harlem’s finest!!!

stevie bro we need the second part of this freestyle man
Big L rest in peace, dude would have had eminem status by now
Man, around that time we were really heavy on Big L and DITC in general. The news about Big L didn't hit me as much until Gangstar dropped Full Clip and started off with "Big L rest in peace"
R - I - P to the Most Valuable Poet on the M - I - C...

Big L, the best for me. 🔥🔥🔥
Greatest freestyle of all time. Don’t forget part 2!

Big pun and big l have a song together called where you at if u never heard it

They’re being sarcastic with the comment btw... these dudes knew L was hot.
Rest in peace big L definitely was talented 🙏🏼
There's a R&B song that ft Big L,but his verse is like 20 seconds.
Hope to see some Bone Thugs on these Throwback Thursdays also Stevie,keep up the awesome work as always.
This mf is the biggest what ifs in hip hop bro. You can hear his influence in a lot of rappers today man
