And last weekend i went to a Big Daddy Kane concert. He took a moment to saying peace to all the casualties of the game. He mentioned Pac, Biggie, ODB, Eazy and so on.. But he didn't mention L, so the crowd started yelling "L, L, L" .. And he was like "That's that 'put it on'-kid, right?" We all stood there, completely taken aback at his ignorance.. Then the platinum plus beat dropped and he rapped L's part, and then his own addition to it.. BEST CONCERT EVER!
This joint.....my homie ran up to me with a walkman.....and said , "YO, Put the headphones on!" any time did that, it was on. I put them on....he looked at me and said, "You ready?" I nodded yeah. He clicked "PLAY" and this track came thru the headphones....I was in shock from all the punchlines....my homey was nodding and smiling like "YEAH!!!" I'm just nodding and jaw dropped .....I immediately said, " AYO Rod.....make me a dub!" True story. Weequahic H.S. Newark NJ 1992
Krs1 was the teacher to lord finnesse. And lord finnesse took big l under his wing after he heard his crew out at a radio event. And big l took alot on board
Lord Finesse is the originator of that punchline style. He straight kills it evrytime he touches the mic! "Finesse frontin/Ya'll know me, i don't stress nuthin/bought your album, that's how I broke the eject button"!-Lord Finesse The Club-Tony Touch/The Piece Maker
+paul maxwell literally makes me cringe seeing people comment on artists, like Rae sremmurd, songs saying "this is fire". It's not even fucking rap yet people are so quick to judge. I even hear people saying the drake and meek mills beef is one of the best of all time 😂 like I actually can't take them seriously
This smashes to powder dust anything niggas think is dope that came out in the last 17 years....and this is crazy!!! 1992 rhymes are still greater than anything in the 2000's. ..new niggaz need bars
I had never really listened to Big L before i just always heard he was one of the best lyricist ever. But i randomly heard this verse on SiriusXM and was like damnnnnn
Finesse and Big L paved the way for the Harlem style of multi syllable punch line rap. Later picked up by cats like Dipset greats CamRon and Jewelz Santana. These dudes here were mad influential to many more as well.
This was the first time I heard Big L, Back in the Bx @ Clinton HS..... Rest In Peace to one of the Greatest Lyricist Of All Time Big L Easy Jesus (Cigar City) Love&Loyalty South... ..
When people say the greatest two rappers were tupac and biggie, I say you niggas forgot about the third one Big L, you can't compare there styles but put it this way, biggie and tupac was in the lime light, then you got Big L who had barely gotten a taste of fame, he didnt get to enjoy it or even progress in it, if Big L would have still been alive no doubt would have been the most mentioned rapper
Big and Pac were GOATs but people always forgetting about Big L and Big Pun. Personally i think Big L and Pun were better then Pac and Biggie but i give Pac more props becuz he was talented at song writing and had such deveristy, from thug songs like Hit em up and to songs like Brenda got a baby, he just has such a range. I love em all but Pac, L and Pun are my top 3.
@Pats4everMoss Hell yes. I hate how underrated Lord Finesse is... He was like the first Big L.... They would have been the craziest duo if Big L was still alive

the crowd must've been standing like: "but you have a fucking song with him!"
Kane was always a great performer he knows how to move a crowd, that’s a funny story
THE Symphony. Kool G Rap. Hahahaha
Big daddy Kane what.. illa ghee already finessed it. "Solo Symphony" fuck off really? 🤣

Even the legendary Nas was shook when he heard Big L for the first time on this track. Crazyyyy
Its a crime at how underrated L is. He deserves more fans especially for this song
He was rhyming like this in 92:o. Big L the King
Big L shows his skill in this track. Real poetic value
Who’s still listening in 2019

They were ahead of they time...1992 WIT PUNCHLINES LIKE DAT... Amazing
I feel you he was ahead of his time no doubt imma be Jammin this shit till I’m dead 💯
I was blown away when I heard Big L rap for the first time on this track. However Lord Finesse is just as good on this joint.
This is the one and only song that I like someone else better then L on a track. No doubt they both killed it but Finesse just sounds so good here.
@@spl2238 FACTS!!
Bros, these 2 are underrated, but finesse is extremely underrated. I have these 2 in my top 5.
Krs1 was the teacher to lord finnesse. And lord finnesse took big l under his wing after he heard his crew out at a radio event. And big l took alot on board
RIP L , YOU DESERVED WAY MORE

Big L the Greatest to ever touch the Mic ...
big l was the best rapper of all time thats undisputable
Lord Finesse may be the most underrated/unappreciated MC of all time...he killed it every time
Lord Finesse was mad nice and with the beat too. He one definitely one of my guys of that era.
He was only 17/18 on this track damn lol
+paul maxwell Word. Nas dropped one of the dopest verse in history when he was only 17 on Live at the BBQ with Main Source

+Rico Correction its still rap it just ain't hip hop. Its not rap of good quality however.
+Rico Go listen mc serch's back to the grill. Nas had a fucking monster verse on that track

This smashes to powder dust anything niggas think is dope that came out in the last 17 years....and this is crazy!!! 1992 rhymes are still greater than anything in the 2000's. ..new niggaz need bars
Fat Joe’s Book Brought Me Here 💯 For One Of My Favorite And GOAT Rappers. Heavily underrated.
I recorded this song off the college radio station KDU back in 92!!
Lord Finesse the metaphoric KING!!!!!!!!
Baaawww,look!! I ain't got nothin' to say.👑💐🎤
Big L was the best and still is in my opinion... and if he was still alive he would be massive!
I had never really listened to Big L before i just always heard he was one of the best lyricist ever. But i randomly heard this verse on SiriusXM and was like damnnnnn
This gotta be one of my favorite rap songs of all time both the rapper and the damn producer killed this shit
It was produced by T-ray, not Finesse
The most hood part of the song is L kicking it off with the " a-check it out yo,ayo!" So fucking classic
Shit Flava
I had to think for a couple of seconds to remember where I heard that. Brooklyn Took It
@@gweah7821 a Jeru/ Prime Classic
Best of all time, and can’t be touched
CLASSICK!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LEGENDARY BIG L!!!!
His flow, lyrics is legendary. Damn, hope the human reviving or shit gonna be avaivble.

big L was the best rapper ever, hands down. no disrespect to any other rappers but he was the absolute best
2025... yeah we still here with this heat! #classic
2 of my favorites they were so filthy with the lyrics flow and especially finesse with the funk
Finesse and Big L paved the way for the Harlem style of multi syllable punch line rap. Later picked up by cats like Dipset greats CamRon and Jewelz Santana. These dudes here were mad influential to many more as well.
Big L killed this track yo💥
Possibly the greatest use of drums in Hip Hop history

Big L was only 17 when he did this!!! Such talent at such a young age.
Probably my favorite Big L verse ever.
This crew is there BEST in the game. No doubt about that son
Pumping with a first-heard notes... It is da REAL RAP!!

My 2 favorite MCs of all time
Big L is the best rhyme schemer in hip hop, PERIOD!!!
RIP to the king BIG L.. had to listen to this song again today for old times sake!

When people say the greatest two rappers were tupac and biggie, I say you niggas forgot about the third one Big L, you can't compare there styles but put it this way, biggie and tupac was in the lime light, then you got Big L who had barely gotten a taste of fame, he didnt get to enjoy it or even progress in it, if Big L would have still been alive no doubt would have been the most mentioned rapper
Noah D Amen to that brother!
I call it the five fingers of death:
- Biggie
- Tupac
- Big L
- Nas
- Big Pun
+JakeMCGreen I got the same list but switch 2 pac with wu tang clan
23 Savage amen!!! i felt like if 2pac and BIG had an hiphop offspring.. it was Big L.
Big and Pac were GOATs but people always forgetting about Big L and Big Pun. Personally i think Big L and Pun were better then Pac and Biggie but i give Pac more props becuz he was talented at song writing and had such deveristy, from thug songs like Hit em up and to songs like Brenda got a baby, he just has such a range. I love em all but Pac, L and Pun are my top 3.
Both of these men are underrated. But Finesse is extremely underrated. I have both in my top 10, maybe even top 5.
finesse kill it & hell big l is a beast
Smokin'....Ness & L, what a fucking team.
Big l the wery legend respect from italy 💣🔥👊🙏✌🔝🎙🎤
