In such a short amount of time Big L made himself a legend. He had such charisma when he was spitting. Jay-Z is infamous for the way he records his tracks. He lets the best play for 15-20 mins and hums to it and puts it together in his head. He doesn't write anything down. He records in one shot and then rerecords it to refine it but pretty much the same song with a few adjustments. Rick Rubin just described it on the Joe Rogan Podcast and spoke on how Eminem does it along with a couple others. Some BTS stuff.

You just listened to one of the absolute greatest emcees of all time. Like Em said "Take some Big and some Pac, and you mix em up in a pot, spinkle a little Big L on top, what the fuck do ya got? You got the realest and illest killers tied up in a knot, the juggernauts of this rap shit, like it or not" A lot of people have Big L in their top 5. His only issue is that his discography was cut extremely short just like Pun :/ But skill wise he's phenomenal. My personal top 5 are Eminem, Big L, Big Daddy Kane, Big Pun and AZ Big Daddy Kane is Big L's biggest influence. I personally recommend reacting to Big Daddy Kane, he's from the the late 80's and his skill is incredible and he's smooth as hell. Eminem has also cited him as one of his biggest influences. I slept on the 80's until I actually went back and listened and my mind was blown.

you need to react to more Big L. Life styles of the poor and dangerous is one of the best rap albums ever. No One was on Big L' s level back then.
