Man L is arguably one of the hardest lyricist to ever walk the planet. Between his life getting cut short and not being commercial he doesn't get his just due... UNTIL you listen to his word play. It's undeniable! NOBODY during that time could get with him.

He had performed them before, hence on the uncut version he says "I aint kicked this in awhile" right befoe his 2nd verse. It might be on YT Kool G Rap Birthday party its a massive cypher about 30 mins long, Jay kicks one of the verses on there, it sounds better because it was in 92 and it sounds more advanced than most of the other emcees

8:30 Big L and JayZ did this freestyle back in 1995 on "The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito" radio show. Y'all are right, this was way ahead of its time. Not many were coming with the flow switches and bar after bar of internal and external rhymes back in the mid 90s...just a masterclass of MCing. Oh, and just to save everyone some math; Big L was 21 when he did this freestyle. Crazy.

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.

This is what I tell all the young bloods when they say I'm just an angry old head when I put down current day hip-hop music/artists. Imagine growing up in an era where we had Nas, Jay Z, 2Pac, Biggie, Cube, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Mac Dre, LL, Too $hort, Eazy, Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang, etc etc etc all pretty much *at the same time* Yeah we was spoiled. Our standards are all fucked. Shit I started listening to "lesser" dudes of that era like Murs, Big Noyd, AZ, Rappin 4 tay, Cormega, to name a few later in life; and these dudes were fire, but competing against legends, so they was outshined, and overlooked. Any of those dudes would murder today.

My favorite part about this freestyle is hearing Jay legit stressing bc he’s finally confronted a better lyrical performer than him. He’s straight up waffling on that last verse lol.

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.

Now yall getting to the good stuff!🔥🔥🔥 Listening to this you really hear what ppl say about Jay Z that he copies everyone he's around. He is rapping just like Big L while being around him in those days. Biggie, Jay Z, Big L and Charlie Baltimore a female rapper from Philly were supposed to form the group 'The Commission'. That's the reference Jay Z made in Pusha T's song 'Neck & Wrist' where he said if BIG was alive yall would've got 'The Commission'. The 'L' in Big L stands for LAMONT. His name was Lamont Hill.

On some real NYC rap talk.... there would be no Jay without Big L. Jay was still finding his style here. He had the street slang but still came off as a bit of a Herb to a lot of people. Took him a while to grow into his own Jigga style, which is a combination of other rappers he wanted to be like such as Jaz-O, Biggie, Big L, and Nas.
