Big L was more than just a rapper, he was a true poet. his freestyle was his strongest asset. Big L flowed with absolute class, and at times switched it to delivery a nice punch line. he was raw and real, talk about life on the materialistic, sociological and psychological level. He never had a criminal record and left the streets alone to concentrate on rapping. Living in Harlem, USA life is hard for young teens more so than any British city or "Ghetto".
he had a record label called Flamboyant, as his style of rapping reflects that. Big L had plans to sign many underground rappers, he had a song called platinum plus and there’s one line that amazes me "My underground N****rs you can shine with me, i got my own label so sign with me, you gotta take it from the bottomand climb with me, that's fine with me, that's how it was design to be". And the root reason he never signed with Columbia records was a) they where pushing him in direction he did want to go, b) they wouldn’t sign his friends.
Hewasn’ta negative rapper as so many of those hip-hop lead heads of today. He was a controlled, calculating, rhyming genius in my opinion. i don't think there will never be someone like him again.
