Lamont Coleman, the Hip-Hop artist known as Big L, was only 24 when he was murdered 12 years ago today. You can make the argument for Big L as the greatest rapper ever, the greatest lyricist and the the greatest Harlem-produced talent.
He's in my Top 10 for sure, and his debut album Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous remains one of my favorite albums ever. Why is it so many gifted musical artists are taken from us too soon? RIP Big L.
Big L's biggest hit
Yes that is a young Jay-Z. And as great as Jay's verse is, he gets bodied by L .
