I am a white 25 year old Australian and consider myself a hip hop head and love most 90s artists! No disrespect to any of the other greats in hip hop history but BIG L was a beast on the mic and on another level in every aspect and deserves more recognition! R.I.P #KING
@Owl Capone k, but wasn't that. So many fucking rappers then lol? I do what you get mean by shock value, a lot of guys did not not only him especially then.
@@OwlCapone8630you need to actually need to listen to him if that's what you think mate. Rhyming skills on the level of Big Pun, Kool G Rap, MF DOOM, Eminem, Rakim etc. A flow second only the Notorious BIG One of the best deliveries ever, that could cover several styles, considered to be up there with 2pac, Jay Z, Prodigy, KRS etc An absolute classic debut albums in lifestylez ov da poor an dangerous and the second best posthumous album in hip hop as The Big Picture. Classic tracks like Ebonics, Street Struck, Da Graveyard, Put It On, All Black etc. The best punchline rapper to grace a mic. E.g "A tech 9 is my utensil filling n#ggas with so much lead they can use their dick for a pencil" Are all things Big L has going for him. He is way more than just shock value and punchlines. The GOAT? No. Top 15. Without any doubt.
Im Aussie too, love Aussie hip hop. Love for Matty AB’s ‘Courageous’ LP but Big L is just another level, only American rap I listen to, just amazing lyrics it’s crazy
You can see the influence Finesse had on Big L. Lord Finesse is not talked about amongst the greatest of all time in the rap game like he should be. A literal genius. The way he just effortlessly flowed so smooth. And don't get me started with his imagery and punchlines. Both absolute legends
Yes it was bro..im frm the UK, but late 80s n early 90p east coast new york hip hop was da shit!! Sadly that Rawness has dissapeared and it did so a lng long time ago. 1995 it started to go downhill...and...FAST!!!
We only got a brief time to appreciate this dude. Imagine if he was still around, the albums he could have dropped, the influence he could have had... We need more Lamont Colemans in hip hop
Im 16 rn listening 2 shit like dis, sad dat other kids won’t ever kno who dis man is, 1 of da best rappers ever. His flows n lyrics was heat 🔥 modern day hip hop is weak.
Ben O'Neill Ok almost nobody...i'm italian and I say that here there are some lyricists that are prolly better than 99% of the american shit, only the old ones tho, nowadayz (t)rappers suck
mental flux ! Sorry but, what the fuck you know about italian hh? It ain't as influential as american, but it has some pearls you can't even imagine...i wanna translate some lyrics and put them on UA-cam...not to be snooty or shit but italian hip hop deserves some attention peace
It’s like the “good cop bad cop” experience Big L the “bad cop” putting pressure on you then here comes Finesse the “good cop” to ease your nerves and hit you with that smoove sh*t
Big-Ls music compliments skating so much. lol This guy Randloph though. lmao New rappers should study rappers like Big-L, Pun, Big, Finesse. Ninety's N.Y rappers were so nice yo.
Damn I don't even listen to Big L anymore. But I remember this song a long time ago it was one of the dopest how is it so slept on people don't listen to Big L? It's disappointing to see...
Best rapper, in this generation they don't know how to ryme or add poetry and poem to their music 🎵, I think there will be no 1 that can sing or proform like him ,
Lyric...thatp what ya call rhymin...im old school, not into all this 'spit barz' rubbish. Every mfka of today THINK They can spit barz..the only bars dem can spit is that of an eaten chocolate bar...no skill, no rhyme, no voice, and weak ass flows..
I had beef with this nigga Named Randolph Now he's in a casket dressed up with his hands crossed. Rest in paradise Harlems Finest New York Legend, L CORLEONE
@@younggoose7315 No, L tried to kill the guy who later came back and murdered him. That story about his brother owing money to someone or L being mistaken for Lee is wrong. That was only said because nobody wanted to snitch. L tried to get at Gerard Woodley, Gerard evaded and came back and got L. No one owed money.
There's never gonna be another rapper on the same level as big L
#NEVVAH‼️ 💯💪👑
Me
Same lvl then all same style
Devil son with pump gun
i would say Eminem during the 90s to early 2000s had the same raw energy (Role Model, I`m back, Criminal, Kill You, The Way I Am)
Pharoahe Monch and Del got him
@@xelldincht4251
But Big L was more Savage than Em.
Da grave yard,hard to kill, let em have it L was rawest.
This gotta b his best verse when it comes to flow and delivery. He rode tf outta this beat
One of his best works.
Word
Check out doo wop my niggaz freestyle
My favourite verse ever
Produced by T-Ray for Soul Assassins
It's crazy, this is one of my most favorite L verses and the brotha was like 16 or 17 when he first recorded this
The general of rap.No other rapper today can step up to Big L's level.
bornevolkid Fast forward to 2017: Joyner Lucas.
Brian Yuh - If you know hiphop, you’d know that Joyner isn’t even close to Big L’s level.
ᴠᴇʀɪxᴀ I disagree. But to each his own
Brian Yuh he's decent for a new cat but he doesn't belong in the same sentence as L... like comparing a Benz to a Chevrolet
Brian Yuh - Yea thats true, everyones got their own opinion.
"I can inverse my style, cuz I'm versatile, quick to burst a child, I'm living worse than foul" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 fire!
Burst or birth ?
@ Big L said "I can inverse my style 'cause I'm versatile
Quick to burst a child, I'm livin' worse than foul"
@@JRBKLYN718 that's t' devil's child, we talkin' ' -bout ) ph
..I believe, t' latter is less possible ) h
@Fanny on my face lmao
Big L has got to be one of the most slept on rapper from the 90s to ever exist. this man was on road to taking over the early 2000s

Everything about Big L is untouchable

Lord Finesse's verse is mad under rated, he freestyled that shit and kept that ill flow
Word, his verse harder than a mf'er, how you know he freestyled his shit tho? Not tryna say it ain't true just curious.
He killed this

Definitely one of Big L's top 5 verses idgaf what anyone says
“i can inverse my style, cause im versatile, quick to burst a child, im living worse than foul” INSANE
Listening to Big L takes all the pains of the world away
This is what you call lyricism

Big L and Lord finesse
That is a true statement
"I can inverse my style, cuz I'm versatile"
Nobody rhymes like that, so simple but tricky it seems like words were invented to rhyme flawlessly

Shoulda made a track together, they were both Finesse’s boys.
Woulda been legendary.
Paul velez, this is the real stuff from the real guys with real storys from the real neighbourhoods.
HeaD ShOT except BIG L didn't live this
Goose McCringleberry except L did live this. Do some research on what got Big L killed.
Sin-City because his brother owed a guy money so they took Big L. Pretty well known
