I am a white 25 year old Australian and consider myself a hip hop head and love most 90s artists! No disrespect to any of the other greats in hip hop history but BIG L was a beast on the mic and on another level in every aspect and deserves more recognition! R.I.P #KING

All he had was shock value and punchlines...

[@heyguysiguessthatsit438]

@Owl Capone k, but wasn't that. So many fucking rappers then lol? I do what you get mean by shock value, a lot of guys did not not only him especially then.

[@Weir.721]

​@@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.

[@jimmyalderman543]

Im Aussie too, love Aussie hip hop. Love for Matty AB’s ‘Courageous’ LP but Big L is just another level, only American rap I listen to, just amazing lyrics it’s crazy

You can see the influence Finesse had on Big L. Lord Finesse is not talked about amongst the greatest of all time in the rap game like he should be. A literal genius. The way he just effortlessly flowed so smooth. And don't get me started with his imagery and punchlines. Both absolute legends
