The sad part is Big L wasn't even halfway into tapping his true potential. That man still had A LOT to show us had he lived.

[@christianw4507]

Carter Amen.

[@elastic24]

Well said, Carter. You said that just right. Respect to you!

[@Eclass211]

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

Carter 😢

[@jissrapisardi9499]

Leo I watched an interview where he kept talking about how big his Flamboyant brand was gonna be in a year, how it was gonna be all over everything. It was so clear to me that he had huge plans for himself. Fuck the dude that killed him.

[@Smif-N-Wessun]

Such a recognisable line. Fun part is that it actually doesnt make sense haha. He isnt ahead of his time, but behind. Since his parents havent even met

[@naaiiiz]

O.C. is a Legend. His album jewelz is hella classic

[@20FreeWill]

Also Trophies an word life . Couple others

[@JakeTheMuss10454]

O.C. was and is one of the most important hiphop artist underground and above. the lyricism plus content is phenomenal. Quiet storm rapper with deep thought, deep rhythem, deep rhymes. Its a blessing to here him say something about his family up bringing like Rakim who's mother was also an artist so is prodigy's. Its amazing how those who had musical family up bringing like those mentioned have the depth in producing music and style that captures so many to just listen, shut the fuckup and listen..we need experienced artist on the mic not clowns gettem out, out!! long live real hiphop.

[@southjerseysfinest]

one of the greatest emcees ever to grab a mic.love all his shit . never ever disappointed by his work.oc is easily in my top 5.i would put him up against anybody.great show,shout out to sway for this.

[@AndrewClawson19]

What an amazing intro. God bless OC #OOCCCC

[@BurialKru]

Thank you Sway, for letting this legend on your show, especially from the 25min mark. Open minded, a lot of peeps world wide knows what his man seen on the train, it's gonna b exposed. The Legend O.C.

[@teekarow9337]

how did i miss this....O.C is a legend. those newer cd's he dropped were great bodies of work. Times up is timeless.

Big L, BLoodShed, Big Lee, Big Pun, D.I.T.C., Cormega, MFGrimm, Lord Finess and the Whole NFL Crew

[@SeerzTower]

When you talk about legendary careers and top notch lyricism yet severely underrated.O.C is that definition. He's one of the best till this day. Never fell off lyrically . He certainly influenced me as a rapper.. so many classic songs in his catalog. Brooklyn is a breeding ground for great hiphop solo rappers. Oc is one of em .Glad to see him on sway. Since I don't see a lot of interviews of hi m. Great hip hop 4eva.

[@AndrewClawson19]

I can only imagine what Big L would have been able to do if he was able to age and progress his craft. He’s one of the best regardless. DITC is one of the hardest groups too. Everyone in that group held their weight. S/O the phenomenal O.C.!!

[@youtubed3951]

legendary and underrated...new album is HEAT

You gotta love how Sway gives them introductions to his preferred guests

BIG L a man ahead of his time yes indeed rip

[@MKB1L]

OC is a true OG man this brother has been thru some shit in his day. If y'all are down with what this man was talking about, check out Charles Hamilton, another Harlem native, they remind me of each other with their concepts and lyrics

[@gotjuice9]

O's right up there with Nasty Nas for me.

[@tn5671]

Please stop... Nas is too much but l respect O.C. and i have Word...Life, Jewelz and Trophies

[@SourceLOOPS]

#nostalgia 👑O.C. DITC were 💪💪💪💪💪 *RIP Big L*

[@gotjuice9]

That beat switch and Bohemian Rhapsody flip though.. chills!

[@BrendanSlob]

O.C. would've exploded with "Word..Life" but Nas's "Illmatic" dropped around the same time and kinda put O.C. on the back burner. The dude is pretty unbelievable on the mic.I own all of his albums and if you haven't listened to "Jewels" you are missing a classic! Big L and OC should've done a full length duo album. They just meshed so well together, like brothers.

[@Iansrevenge]

They were about to make a duo album together being produced by Showbiz but L passed away to early. They only made 1 song which it’s called “get yours”

[@BrendanSlob]

@@Iansrevenge I can believe that. "Dangerous" off of Jewelz is a crazy song with the 2 of them trading bars back and forth. Didn't they put "Get yours" on the DITC debut album?

[@sleepisthecousinofdeath7395]

Stronjay is a better song than jewels

[@BrendanSlob]

@@sleepisthecousinofdeath7395 I was referencing the entire album.

[@MoneyPlethoraAlways]

Big L outshined him on the Dangerous track. Lord Finesse, Big L, OC, AG, Diamond D & Fat Joe was the weakest rapper out of them all

[@smoothoperator7023]

Damn-HB's TT's iz woooowee's! 😲

[@grandmastermumble]

O.C. is one of the most respectful, straight up bredrens in this. Real dude.

[@joeybettafouco]

big l would be disappointed in todays so called rap music

[@robertonocturno4043]

Joey Bettafuco hell yea if Big L was alive most of these mumble rappers would not be in rap game

[@goinoutlikegeez]

Big L says he dont understand it

[@CGJUGO80]

_And that really gets on my nerves_ _When a rapper gettin' credit that he don't deserve_ Big L - "I don't understand it" (1994)

[@rideronthestorm_]

I'm glad he left a track for these gimmicky rappers "i don't understand it"

[@justicesav.o_v7312]

Maybe...

[@NeoNitty]

When you’re about to get sick, when you feel that initial “tickle” in your throat, smash up like garlic cloves, dice them up into small pieces, and swallow it, DONT CHEW IT. Just swallow it. Chase it w a glass of room temp water to help. Anyway, it’ll knock out any cold thats thinking of creeping up on you. It helps. I do it often. 💯

Word ... Life by O.C is his best album.

I gotta go with Jewelz. Word Life is crazy though. And like Bryan said, Trophies w/Apollo Brown was amazing as well. Starchild also is a great record.
