      ​@@OwlCapone8630you need to actually need to listen to him if that's what you think mate.
      Rhyming skills on the level of Big Pun, Kool G Rap, MF DOOM, Eminem, Rakim etc.
      A flow second only the Notorious BIG
      One of the best deliveries ever, that could cover several styles, considered to be up there with 2pac, Jay Z, Prodigy, KRS etc
      An absolute classic debut albums in lifestylez ov da poor an dangerous and the second best posthumous album in hip hop as The Big Picture.
      Classic tracks like Ebonics, Street Struck, Da Graveyard, Put It On, All Black etc.
      The best punchline rapper to grace a mic. E.g "A tech 9 is my utensil filling n#ggas with so much lead they can use their dick for a pencil"
      Are all things Big L has going for him. He is way more than just shock value and punchlines. The GOAT? No. Top 15. Without any doubt.

    L & Percee P on the hook.
    Shoulda made a track together, they were both Finesse’s boys.
    Woulda been legendary.

      Sin-City because his brother owed a guy money so they took Big L. Pretty well known

      @@younggoose7315 No, L tried to kill the guy who later came back and murdered him. That story about his brother owing money to someone or L being mistaken for Lee is wrong. That was only said because nobody wanted to snitch. L tried to get at Gerard Woodley, Gerard evaded and came back and got L. No one owed money.
