L was actually so ahead of his time his parents haven’t met yet .
nah 90s was the golden era
yoooo that's from the "Big L and Jay-Z - 7 Minute Freestyle", you know ur stuff
He was colder than a icebox
Jay z.? Pls jay z is garbage !!
Big L rip!!
I catch wreck on any cassette deck , I’m so ahead of my time my parents haven’t met yet
Big L was the biggest "what if" in the rap history, we lost a great talent
That's correct, he really hade the whole future waiting for him
Definitely
Him & capital Steez
@@lostcapital2591 you’re real for that. I was just about to say capital steez too.
@@braeling3677 they don’t know bro 😔 steez really could’ve elevated so much for this generation
''You Cant Kill Me, I Was Born Dead'' R.I.P Punchline King...
He knew punchlines like no ther
That bar reminded me of something juice would have said. They have very similar styles and beyond natural talent
"these cigarettes'll be the cause of my death"
.... If only big L if only 😭
@@christinad4432 not at all. Dont compare him to L cus he's nowhere near
Im so tempted to like this comment as of right now
“Ask Bevis I get nothing Butthead” is by my favorite punchline of all time. When I first heard that I can only compare it to mans discovery of electricity.
Lol, that’s a great comparison
😂
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
@@phillietheblindguy7527 that is an amazing story! A lot of people don’t understand how big of a person and a unbelievably lyricist we lost. If they only knew how hard Jay z bit this dudes style on so many of his songs.
@@BIGMAC384 I couldn't agree more with you..... Jay-Z stole his style from artists like big L The Notorious BIG jasso and basically stole the name Jay-Z from the artist az he just added the j and the y because of copyright issues
Big L was nice. No one could touch him during that time and still today. His music is still kicking in 2021
Yeah, legends never die
@Brandon Jones playing it still in Melbourne Australia
Brandon Jones Canada
@Brandon Jones I play it everyday
UK💯🤞🏽
I don't listen to any new school rap,
Pac, Big L, big pun, Nas, Nate Dogg, the game, snoop,50, Em, and so on... are on top of my list💯
@Brandon Jones I listen from Vancouver, Canada. Corleone is too advanced for y’all
Everybody praises pac and big, they’re dope, but L and pun need more flowers
Yup! They’re too underrated
He do for real
yeh man
We need a big l movie
Well said...
Both Nas and Jay-Z were scared of Big L lyrics and flow
Nas doesn't fear no mc
@@joeljoseph9017 Shows you don't know your history, cause Nas himself said he was scared to death about Big L
@@AgentSickOrange I know Nas said that Nas was just being humble
@@joeljoseph9017 Good to see you can say how Nas thinks.
@@AgentSickOrange Nas and big L are my favorite mcs I wish big L was on illmatic he fits the song represent perfectly
“My guns go boomboom and your guns go powpow” bro was nice
Yeah, the nicest!
“…..and when it comes to gettin nookie I’m not a rookie, I got girls that make that chick Toni Braxton look like Whoopie”
I'm known to have a hottie open I keep the shottie smoking front and get half the bones in ya body broken! #R.I.P BIGL
We’re I’m from niggas jewels get ran like red lights
This guy barely got to release any music but is still considered one of the greatest
The material he does have sounds like it came out today
Just imagine if he had the producers Jay had at his disposal 🤦🏾♂️🔥
He didn't leave us, he was taken from us.
Word.
Facts
No, "he took himself" you reap what you sow. He was trying to take another man's life, and in the process of doing so fuked around and lost his!
@@donaustin7374 i thought he was shot in mistake as they meant to get his brother??
@@haddingtoniangcp2464 it was said that he was trying to set one of his childhood friends up for his brother, but the person found out and killed big l.
Are we going to ignore fat joe had hair
Hahaha bruuhhh
The 583839383 element of hip hop, Joes hair. Respect
@@brazziluka4717 hahaha. Respect
First time I’ve seen son with hair crazy 😝 lol 😂
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😂😂you kill me😂😂😂😭
If Big L was alive today and spit some of his old freestyles he wrote back in 99 he'd body most of these whack rappers out here. He was truly ahead of his time!
Facts, a true MC
Lil Uzi Vert would merk that nigga
@@67WSW gtfo here
@@67WSW gtfoh
New generation doesn't care about lyrics. Young kids, 93.7, shade 45 wouldnt care about big l because it's not a strip club anthem. It's sad but it's true
If he didn’t die when he did and was able to become more of a household name he would be universally know as the greatest rapper of all time
Yep I agree with you, there is too much people who don't know who he is
Yes after Rakim
Big L was one of the most gifted rappers ever to live. It's a shame he died before he reached his full potential.
“When it comes to nookie I’m not a rookie I get bitches that make Toni Braxton look like Woopie” that’s one of my favorite lines
“Step to big L you get nun but a loss chief”
Bars still hold up today
never gets old
"The last punk who fronted got a mouth full of false teeth"

R.I.P Big L 🙏 The Most Valuable Poet on the M-I-C🎤🐐
MVP🙏🙏🙏
"Put your L's up, Put your L's Up, Put your L's Up"
"Harlems finest, one of the best yet!"
Just imagine how the Rap industry would be today, if Pac, Big, L, etc. were still around today.....
It would for sure be a big difference
Lmao same shit they’d be retired by now
I don’t think the industry would be much different at all but we would have some great albums to listen to that weren’t made because those artists passed too soon.
Nothing would change they would be washed up like 50 cent and em
@@dwavyy300 retired, maybe
But that impact
I heard about this guy years ago, but yesterday was my first time hearing his lyrics. And now I see why the man is so respected as a mc.
That’s dope to hear man, any song you like in particular?
@@thehouseofculture3931 I like whatever that song is where he lyrically killed Jay Z.
“You better flee hobbs, or get ya head flown three blocks
L keep rappers hearts pumpin like reeboks”
It’s soo timeless, and it hits hard everytime
‘Takin midget sips, I run with the richest cliques, tap the thickest chicks, plus drop the slickest hits, you know nothing about l so don’t doubt l what’s the rap game without l, that’s like jewels without ice, China without rice or the holy bible withoit Christ’ l is a legend and he’ll live forever in my mind 💯
Like hockey without fights
Yikes😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
If big l had 2 3 more albums he'd be the greatest his flow n punch lines next level
He’s the MVP no doubt
“I wadn’t poor, I was PO, I couldn’t afford the OR” -Big L 🥶🥶
Hits everytime
L is one of the coldest to ever bless the mic! R.I.P. my brother. You are missed👑
Very true! RIP
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
Rip L 1974-1999 one my favorite rappers of the 90s
Same! Lost a good one
Big L & Jay's freestyle is one of the iconic moments in hip hop, facts 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, when Big L comes in the second time and just lays it down is iconic
@@thehouseofculture3931 1,2,1,2 check it out 1,2 cheak...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Legendary
Ive heard recently that Jay-Z was the one who ordered the hit on Big L
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.
He was nasty when he came out. People were scared of his skill. RIP Big L...
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
Clouldn’t put it better myself
Super elite
Cant forget great lyrical humor as well, Big L has some of the most clever and comical rap lines ever wrote in my opinion "fightin a gorilla in a phonebooth" "the toothfairy went bankrupt' 'put a ring round her whole eye" " 'beavis and butt head" "make toni braxton look like whoppi' etc etc
Big L by far has some of my favorite comic rap lines and to me his comedic lyrics never came off as corny like so many other rappers who attempt to mix humor into their rap music.
L's "Ya can't kill me, I was born dead" is right up there with "Can I kick it?" and "I can't sleep, Cuz sleep is the cousin of death"
Yup, his punchlines were something else
I ain't a killer but don't push me
@@YAVETHable Now the whole world's calling me a killer
When all I ever did.. was try to reach the kids!
his voice wasn't deep but it was so signature sounding and sounded so good when he rapped
Yeah, you are very right about that. His voice was something truly unique!
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
Rest in peace!!🙏🙏
LOL greatest rapper of all time? LOL
"My underground n****, yall can shine wit me, Got my own label now so yall can sign wit me, yall can take it from the bottom and climb wit me, thats fine wit me thats how it was designed to be"
Big L
PLATINUM PLUS👌🏿💯
Even just reading these lyrics, it flows so nicely.
Half of these niggas that’s rappin now is whack to us
Big L has the greatest flow to this day
Nothing compares
Big L is EASILY my Top 3 ! No questions asked.
I Put him up with MF DOOM, CL Smooth , Lords of The Underground, Guru, & Nas.
Yup
DITC don't receive their proper place in history. The crew was loaded.
Yuuup, all top tier and true MCs
They are more from the same Generation which are forgotten. Thats so sad bruh
AG and OC were my favs out the group. Finesse and Diamond D were and still are nasty producers too.
Children of the corn was loaded to killa cam, rip bloodshed, mase, mcgruff shit crazy
They were stacked like the Warriors. Wait ....
Literally the god of freestyle. Dude could’ve been a GOAT contender if he lived
Yeah that’s true, he could do it all
Big L🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 one of the best to do for us hip-hop heads....
For sure, he had the game on lock.
"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 was The Len Bias of the rap game
Dude was way too ahead of his time, “I don’t understand it” is crazy prophetic and dope
He was so ahead of his time his parents hadn’t met yet
Thanks to this channel for remembering the old legends. RIP L
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
Yuup, Big L wasn’t somebody to take lightly
Nas isn’t even good in my opinion .
If Big L was still alive he’d be married to Beyonce.
LoL. This is so true though.
Shit hell nah not beyonce
@@arisebeats1851 do you even get the joke?
@@northernking4787 Word yo haha
Lmaoooo
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…
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
He was something else for sure, he was miles ahead of his time
I bought the Ebonics single at Fatbeats in L.A when it came out . I was gutted when he got Murdered.
Love to see young cats pumping the legend of Big L stays on. Best skilled rapper to ever grab a mic , no weakness to his repertoire
thank you for this
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 ❤️💙
🙏
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👆
Never gets old
Thanks for putting this together! Big L forever! May his legacy live on!
Thank you and you're right. May his legacy live on!
I miss this guy i never knew. I'm glad i'll always have his music with me
Definitely one of the best to ever do it... RIP BIG L
True! Rip
Such a shame that he was killed in his prime...dude was certainly ahead of his time 💯
Hes set a standard that hasn't been touched yet. He would of been a sick battler with the punchlines this guys threw. Rap In Peace BiGL.💯🌟🎤🌟💯
There is no doubt about that
@@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.💔
Thanks for the informative video 🙏🔥❤️
Put It On is a straight up classic!!! 🔥
One of the best!
Big L can rap fast, had the best flow and punchlines. Sadly, he live in this cruel world.
Legendary!!! He would’ve been on of the greatest. Cut down before his time. R.I.H. Big L 🙏🏿🙏🏿
This was beautifully made, thank you
Thank you Captain! I really appreciate it!
BIG L" 139th Lenox Harlem World" ... Underground Legend ... Word Up!
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.
That would be insane! The combination would be criminal!
So ashamed I didn’t know about him. I heard his freestyle today and I’ve been searching for his stuff the whole day. Wow
great video i really enjoyed your knowledge, L was a great for sure. i liked the guru toss in at the end too
Thank you Chase Bly! Means a lot!
Thanks for this🙏
Thank you!
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 remember writing down all his slangs from ebonics in a notebook. that song was an anthem.
Big L put it down like no other, which were your favourite slangs from the song?
Gangstarr in the end almost made me cry great video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Tnx hes one of my fav great vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much, which rappers would you like to see videos on in the future?
In my top 5 easily!! LEGEND!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🥶🥶🥶🥶
RIP Big L Harlem World still Holdin It Down for you
One of the best to ever do it..
Without a doubt
Lord finesse was a true friend
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
1 of the GREATEST RAPPER THAT EVER LIVED 🙏🏻RIP 👑LEGEND🎶
Big L was once in a lifetime I bumped his music on my last 2 trips to New York City.
Big L was a savage on the MIC. One of my all time favorites
Love this video! I am the biggest Big L fan and this is great
Thank you so much! The world needs to hear the story of Big L!
Also, thank you for sharing "(Rare) Big L short interview BK circa 1996)" on your channel. Got my that video clip from you actually:)

woah this video was made a day before my bday sick vid
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
I love that you put "Memory" from Cowboy Bebop at the beginning. Big L and Cowboy Bebop is a vibe.
Hahaha yeah for sure, the best crossover ever
Can't kill me i was born dead. That line will for every be a master LINE.
Along with other lines. RIP BIG L
Yeah, that line just sticks like no other
@@thehouseofculture3931 yes indeed it does.
Big L's brother Lee actually got killed in 2019 summer(It's crazy)
It sure is a messed up world we live in
His nephew* Lee Jr.

Excellent channel man - Keep up the good work
Thank you Chuck, got some more 90s stuff coming
No one ever talks about big l his word play was on point glad to see some videos on him wish i could find his cds hard to find👍👍
Thank you and I agree, he deserves biopic for sure
Big Bro had talent. Wish you were still here. RIP BIG L.
🙏
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.
Yeah, he had so much potential. He would've been larger than life
yeah he was in Children of the Corn with camron, camron became big, big L would have been even bigger!
@@patjeplebs don’t forget mase.. before mase stepped away he was the biggest after biggie. L woulda definitely took off
@@patjeplebs Damn right. Love both those guys. Bumped Big L to and from work today because of this video.

Big L is one of the best in flow and lyricism and probably be the kind of Hip Hop if he was still with us.
Yep I agree with you, he had something special about him
Big L was beast on the mic. He definitely would of had more albums out if he would have still been alive Today.
One of the GOATS in all hip hop. 💯💯💯 still listen to em to this day
You right about that!
Definitely one of the 🐐 s
