I actually put that punchline in my comment before I noticed yours when I worked at Walmart about 11 years ago I actually played that song over the speakers during a work day and nearly got fired for it that freestyle was one of the best I have ever heard and that line ask Beavis I get nothing butthead was too funny and when I say I played that freestyle over the speakers at Walmart I mean so the whole store could hear it was over the intercom LOL

Flow, Scheme, Delivery, Metaphors, Punchlines literally 100 out of 10 for Rap Skills even tho he was Gritty he was the true definition of Rythm and Poetry R.I.P. to the Punchline King

You May Be Gone But Never Forgotten I Will Always Remember Big L Forever One greatest punchline rappers of all time and One of underrated lyricist in hip hop history I miss he was he to to see people appreciation him on earth R.I.P. Big L You Will Not Be Forgotten
Nowadays the fact Nas was scared of him isn’t as big as it once was, but this was peak Nas, Illmatic/It Was Written Nas, the man way on top of the Game
And then Jay Z literally stole Big L's line from the freestyle he did with him (hard __ n bubble gum). He would just claim that he was "showing homage" but I'd say that is biting and Gangstarr shouting out L in the intro of their then biggest hit is how you show homage.
"The Lifestyle of The Poor and Dangerous" We will be seeing this in the media plenty in 2021 with the way things are headed. Inflation will show individuals how poor they really are, the streets already getting worst. RIP Big L*
Big l left the danger zone 21 years ago 1974-1999 Big l in 1990: first freestyle Big l in 1999: last freestyle then died at 24 Rip Lamont big l coleman
Ive had every Big L CD on rotation in my car for the past 10+ years and havent taken any of them out once. He will forever be the best MC and honestly its not even close. His mic was loud and his production was tight. Big L forever👆
I wasn't even born when Big L died but fuck I wish he was still here, more than any other old school rapper, L wasn't just a great rapper he was a GOD at freestyling, even with his freestyles he would run laps around my head with word play
RIP Big L had a good heart and still a kid and growing up doing the best for your family and yourself and be safe cause it’s always the ones who’s closest to you . RIP L ❤️💙
@@thehouseofculture3931 he's my inspiration to battle bro. Sick thing is in the 90s (im 40) i was looking forward to growing up with Big L and Shyheim and Wu, not Eminem, 50, and Diddy and that lot. I couldn't wait to see what he had next.💔
Easily my favorite rapper to ever touch a mic. So many possibilities of insane pieces that could've been done. I've always wanted to hear L, Kool G and DMX on their gritty and grimey shit rip one. I just wish he were here, today, man.
He wasn’t killed for his brothers sake… it was a street beef in which L actually tried to murder the other dude first. Unfortunately he lost that battle…
he drives up and down harlem blocks, iced out watch, knots in his socks, cops think he's sellin rock, pullin him over to see if he's drunk but he's sober, they wouldn't fuck with him if he drove a nova
I don't think that Big L was murdered accidentally because of a mistaken identity (his brother). He was trying to make it big rapping, but he was actually involved in some street stuff. His brother (Big Lee) was part of a crew (NFL Crew) that would setup and rob drug dealers. That includes drug dealers that Big L knew, and he would let the crew know their location. Big L's brother went to prison, but before that he had beef with the guy who eventually killed Big L. He was a childhood friend of Big L's. His brother hired someone in prison to kill the guy once he got out. The word is Big L went to help. It didn't go as planned and the guy ended up finding out who was behind it, including that Big L was one of the guys that tried to kill him. Shortly after that is when the guy killed Big L shooting him 9 times. Big L's brother tried to get revenge years later when he got out of prison. Apparently he found out that someone was helping to hide the guy who killed his brother. He threatened to kill the guy and the guy ended up killing him. Big L's killer got locked up around that time for something else. He got out of jail in 2015 and moved back to that same area where Big L was killed. Then he was killed in 2016. Word is that it was Big L/Big Lee's people, but I don't know how official that is. It didn't stop there though. In 2019, Big Lee's son (Big L's nephew) was killed as retaliation. Cameron was in a crew (Children Of The Corn) with Big L, and they were good friends in the 90's. Cam went to the funeral of Big L's killer because he knew him as well. He actually spit a freestyle shortly after because people were calling him out asking why he would go to the funeral of the guy that murdered his friend Big L. In the freestyle Cam says how a week before Big L was killed, he tried to setup and kill that same guy. There's a lot to it. Most people think that it was a case of mistaken identity, but that's not the case. I was living on 125th and St.Nick at that time
Holy shit. He was 24 when he died... I can only imagine what his career would have been. I still consider him one of the GOATS and he’s only got like one album.
I remember when i was getting more into hip hop, my uncle gave me 2 albums, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. 2, and Lifestyles Ov Da Poor and Dangerous. L's wordplay is still unmatched to this day. RIP
Not for nothing and I know a few members of his family, but Big L was killed because they wanted his big bro and shot him because they looked alike . Was mistaken for him. L WAS GOOD DUDE . And very Humble
I always tell people the story of my summer of 95 when I came into my local park with a CD copy of Big L' s debut album (which I got for $5 from the salesbin because nobody even bought one copy) & got CLOWNED on real bad by the locals. He was murdered not too much later, & THEN he became a recognized legend.

i choose to believe that big L was the most talented rap artist ever
not a bad belief, he’s the MVP at the end of the day
I think so too but if you think otherwise he is still definitely the Punchlineking
One of my top 3 favorite classic rappers
The 3 best lyricists that passed away all have the word Big in there name!! Pun Biggie and L
