Great Reaction right here man You get it. You understand it. I'm an 80s baby grew up on this era listening to the best to ever touch a mic & Big L is one of the greatest lyricist ever. This is one of Jay's best verses he knew he had to bring his A game. RIP L
So glad you like Big L, Harlems finest. probably could've been finest worldwide, punchline king, Looking forward to more Big L Reactions from you. to name few, "Size em up" "Casualties of a dice game" "8 iz enuff" "Lifestylez of the poor and dangerous" "Danger zone" "Furious anger" "MVP" "Hard to kill freestyle" "The big picture intro" "Tony's Touch" "you know what im about" ohh man there are so many more but these came to mind.
@@user-mp3lt9ib8d Yeah but i wouldnt say he was Harlems finest, he was a good motivational rapper, like you REALLY felt what he was saying, but in terms of skill, Big L wins.
Big L was a juggernaut on that mic 🔥💯🔥🔥 you should check out his 94 freestyle or his 93 freestyle or his songs Street struck, lifestyles ov da poor and dangerous, danger zone, how will I make it, I don’t understand it. The list goes on he’s never disappointed me lol
Peace! Big L( Lamont ) was my schoolmate at Julia Richman High School. Mase( Mason ) was my classmate as well until Fall 1990. He transferred to Manhattan Center to play on the basketball team with Cam'ron. Also, a schoolmate of mine was, "Alimoe" of the "And 1 mixtape" basketball team.
This freestyle was taken from the legendary Stretch and Bobbito. Without them some of the biggest names of hip hop would not probably have gotten their props.
This is absolutely a piece of hip hop history right here and the fact that it took place live on the radio thank you stretch and Bobbito for all the greatness you gave us
Iconic moment in hip hop history. Been telling people to listen to this for 2 decades.. you should be looking at Wretch 32 fire in the booths.. will blow your mind.
U really didn't make not 1 mention of big L not even mention his name.... I understand that u never heard of big L but he dominated this song and he was up there and he said he was way ahead of his time RIP big L if he was still alive I really believe he would be one of the greatest till this day and I hope u give him his props and listen to big L albums
This is actually the freestyle/ moment in which big L teaches jay-s freeztyling tecniques,. To which Jay-z says changed him into rapping actual full songs without writing anything down. Just freestyles many verses. Rewinds, stops and rerecords over in sections where he might not like and thats how jay makes songs, a blend of freestyles. Learned from big L.
At the second Jay Z verse you can tell he was struck by the way L rhymed his second verse, L opaqued him in this they were both amazing either way! Big L!
I’ve read a couple thing on it and my subs can help me if it’s true or not. It’s says a priest is supposed to be celibate. If big L flow is so tight he can get a priest excited… damm
what Big L did on this track is called "attack mode"
Big FACTS!!
It should be called murder.
Sicko mode😂
When you search up “Big L and Jay Z 1995 freestyle” you came to listen to an execution
There was no way he was losing this, his entrance to his second verse is ridiculous... nobody compared to my man L, can't tell me nuthin
Big l and AZ hella underrrated bruh they have to many underground tracks that are 🔥🔥
I'll throw Cormega in that too

I appreciate man. What a time for music that must’ve been. Rip L he’s definitely in my top 5 ever
Look how the BIG L's lyrics are reflecting on B.I.G's PICTURE ....🖤
I hadn't even noticed, that look sick!
Without big L .we would not have jay z ,camron.. jay z.. Big l and big pun are the best lyricist in hip hop history
So glad you like Big L, Harlems finest. probably could've been finest worldwide, punchline king, Looking forward to more Big L Reactions from you. to name few, "Size em up" "Casualties of a dice game" "8 iz enuff" "Lifestylez of the poor and dangerous" "Danger zone" "Furious anger" "MVP" "Hard to kill freestyle" "The big picture intro" "Tony's Touch" "you know what im about" ohh man there are so many more but these came to mind.
Thank you man been out for a while due to injury but I’m back and this is a dope list to get started with 💪🏽
@@LILJ_303 Glad you're better now, God bless!
Tupac is also from harlem
@@user-mp3lt9ib8d Yeah but i wouldnt say he was Harlems finest, he was a good motivational rapper, like you REALLY felt what he was saying, but in terms of skill, Big L wins.
When i first heard this, my mind exploded. i knew he was gonna be the best. shame he didnt get to live to prove it.
Big L was a juggernaut on that mic 🔥💯🔥🔥 you should check out his 94 freestyle or his 93 freestyle or his songs Street struck, lifestyles ov da poor and dangerous, danger zone, how will I make it, I don’t understand it. The list goes on he’s never disappointed me lol
They both Completely shredded the mics this blew my head 🔥🔥 I’ll definitely get into those. I think lifestyles ov da poor and dangerous is next 💪🏽
@@LILJ_303 good choice
Street stuck is my favourite track from big l 👊
@@LILJ_303 check out all those he said....I might be like 10 months but I had to emphasize it... lol
"causualties of a dice game"
is one of the best stories ever told by the legend. The big picture was dope too. 98 freestyle too.
Big L sandman 118 freestyle please.. you will love the smooth ass beat and the heinous rhymes Big L comes with!!
No doubt
Big L was wayy better than Jay z at this point if you notice. He would have been a problem if he would have lived. Jay Z himself will admit that.
Shit there’s a video of Nas saying the same shit lol “he scared me to death” - Nas, Rip Big L
@@BigOTheOmni1 yeah. But Nas definitely influenced big L too. I would say those two were on the same level.
So glad you did this....I wish rappers would learn where hip-hop came from 🔥🔥
I feel like I'm in school
Im glad too man this been on repeat all day. Hell yeah we learning together lol 💪🏽🔥

This is absolutely a piece of hip hop history right here and the fact that it took place live on the radio thank you stretch and Bobbito for all the greatness you gave us
Mannn you gotta react to Danger Zone, he says some wildddd shit on that track
Iconic moment in hip hop history.
Been telling people to listen to this for 2 decades..
you should be looking at Wretch 32 fire in the booths..
will blow your mind.
Miilkbone - Keep It Real is where the beat is from, big l and jay came after
Favorite lyrical rapper growing up biggie nas
U really didn't make not 1 mention of big L not even mention his name.... I understand that u never heard of big L but he dominated this song and he was up there and he said he was way ahead of his time RIP big L if he was still alive I really believe he would be one of the greatest till this day and I hope u give him his props and listen to big L albums
Milkbone also used that beat
It was Milkbones beat. This is the instrumental from his ‘Keep It Real’ single

Dropping the knowledge I appreciate things like this.
L's verses on this old Stretch track are legendary, but there is zero chance they're off the head. His bars are as thick with rhymes as it gets.
If you want to hear early Jay-Z listen to Hawaiian Sophie LOOOOOLOLOL
bangerrr
Banggerr!
Yo gotta listen to Biggie. He only has two albums.
Big L was one of the illest
Gay Z sold em out
Big pun was nice also
if you like big L try listening to his freestyle sandman 118, you would love it!
yea another true #emcee that didn't see his full potential #bigL
Big L is in my top 5
Yoo check 'da graveyard' out! What a colab
Biggie _ dead wrong
this why i believe Big L beat Jay at 139th and Lennox back in the day. big L is in my top 5 DOA.
One of the best to ever do it.
BigbLbhad spits for sure but how you gone say you ain't know Jay had flows?
Jay got bodied by L on this freestyle...
Facts Big L didn’t mess up once.
At the second Jay Z verse you can tell he was struck by the way L rhymed his second verse, L opaqued him in this they were both amazing either way!
Big L!
What did he mean by the words “known to get a priest wet” ?
You better answer I guess
I’ve read a couple thing on it and my subs can help me if it’s true or not. It’s says a priest is supposed to be celibate. If big L flow is so tight he can get a priest excited… damm
@@LILJ_303 Ty I appreciate it
Definitely a free verse, written but spit over a different beat. Jay definitely freestylin off the top in spots though
Yea the wack parts!
damn I feel sorry for Jay-Z, having to follow that first verse
If this a first reaction y u rap the first words 😂😂
J got straight bodied bye the L
Facts. L is my top 5 ever
I keep telling people pre-black album Jay Z is the best Jay-Z
