Poll Do You Have Big L In Your Top 10?

[GOAT]

Top 10 posthumous album

 

[konceptjones]

Top 10? Hell nawl. Big L was nice and all that, and I have Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous and The Big Picture in the ride, but they barely ever get spins.

I've heard his freestyles and his guest verses from Show and AG's Represent to them late 90's joints, but dude just never really struck me as being in that elite tier of MC.

 

[5th Letter]

No. Respect to him though.

 

[Goldie]

He falls in the same group as Canibus and rappers alike who are incredible MCs but weren't able to translate it on records.


You can say he had a small window, but from 96-99 he did nothin, while the other rappers mentioned in the OP were dropping classics.

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Wherever shawty lo is all time Big L is one spot ahead of him

 

[Chi-Town B]

You can't be top 10 based off potential

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

Yes top 10 for sure...

He has a decent catalog tbh way more than BIG and Pun... Plenty of features and freestyles and dope albums: Lifestylez, The Big Picture, The Danager Zone and Return Of The Devils Son... Plus the C.O.C stuff...

 

[onetoughmiracle]

Didn't know if dude was stating his argument or giving L's Eulogy

 

[ThaManMythLegnd]

Big L was always overrated, never got the hype. Ain't no one listening to his songs now and weren't back then.

 

[A-List]

Na, always though L was dope, but not Top 10

My cousin who is 16yr just turned 17yr loves Big L...

Hes not even really a big hip hip head but loves lyrical rappers with flows, like Big L, Nas, BIG, AZ and Pac too but hes a total Big L stan...

Rawkus Records put out an album called

1974-1999 Harlem's Finest - A Freestyle History​

https://www.discogs.com/release/213210-Big-L-1974-1999-Harlems-Finest-A-Freestyle-History

https://www.discogs.com/release/23790827-Big-L-1974-1999-Harlems-Finest-A-Freestyle-History

It's a compilation of Big L mixtape freestyles. It's better than any of his albums imo.

Exactly.

Back then even if you had a slight hit your shit went gold. his first album didn't even come close to that. Shit even Canibus 1st joint went gold.
