Today marks the eighth year that Harlem's underground great Big L was shot to death just blocks from his home.
Isn't it ironic that this disgrace, Mase, has reentered the rap scene?
It has been speculated by many that the fatal shooting on February 15, 1999 occurred because of the debt that L's brother owed--who was in jail and not accessible--or mistaken identity for his brother.
There's so many places that Harlem could be had Big L still been here. But then again, if Biggie and Pun were still here, rap would be totally different anyways.
May Big L rest in peace.

He prolly rollin in his grave right now watchin Cam and Ma$e.
Little Red Riding Hood is skipping thru the forest road when she sees the big bad wolf crouched down behind a log.
"My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf."
The wolf jumps up and runs away.
Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again and this time he is crouched behind a bush.
"My what big ears you have, Mr. Wolf."
Again the wolf jumps up and runs away.
About 1/4 mile down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again and this time he is crouched down behind a rock.
"My what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf."
With that the wolf jumps up and screams, "Will you knock it off, I'm trying to sh*t!"

You really losing cool points with this slimgoody shit. Damn nigga, at least PRETEND that you ain't wide open. Hell with all that stuff, you'd probably scare her off if she was here. That shit looks like stalker tendencies to me...
Anyways, if Big L and the rest of these dudes were still here, I don't think NY rap would be much different. For every person you can name, there is someone who came after them, copied their style, and picked up where they left off.
WHO IN THE HELL WOULD PUT BIG L AND PAPOOSE IN THE SAME SENTENCE? THIS IS A DAMN SHAME
Am I the only one that misses the old Lost Boys?
Hello people, my name is Dre Guevara: MILF Hunter, i named myself after a producer, revolutionary and my favorite porno cite. Has anyone been to milfhunter.com? I love older women; but only to talk to about relationships, I'm really in love with that guy Bob, the porn-star that fucks the older women. He's hot, i like his twin brother too. I have been Bob's Stan for about 3 years, since he was doing 8th street Latina's. I'm currently working at McDonalds to try to save up and make my way to Miami to meet Bob. Can Anyone give me any advice on how to raise money so I can go fuck the living day lights out of Bobby?? Thanks.

Ask Bob's wife, cuz I was fuckin' & gettin' head from that bitch while Bob was giving U a Hot Carl.
I was lookin' 4ward 2 ceein' Big L. on the Roc
Let me tell you what I think of Papoose.
The first thing I ever heard from him, and this was back before all the hype, the first thing I heard was that "ABC" rhyme he did. Right then, he became a cornball in my eyes...I have not listened to anything from him since and he was a gimmick.
@Dre
I remember riding many nights on spring break in the rag top 5.0 in Panama City Beach FL just wildin out bumpin that Lost Boys. For some reason, when I think of them...I also think of Fugees. It was the same feeling for me, and around the same time.
The days.
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER BLOG THAT'S . . . BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
YO B - how you gonna have a blog about BIG L . . . yeah he dead & shit - r.i.p & all that but that nigga still not BALLINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

How am I hating? I said for every person that died, someone came and picked up where they left off. If anything, that's me giving NY props for having someone to carry on the tradition. Tell me Pap doesn't resemble Big L. Tell me that Nas isn't cut from the same vein as KRS-1. Shit look at the new generation, and count how many emulate Jay-Z.
That isn't hate at all homie. Whether old heads want to admit it or not, the culture doesn't die with them. Someone else usually comes along and pick up where they left off.
Why it gotta b nobody from the South? Why couldnt u say nobody from the midwest, or nobody from the west or just nobody period could mess with him?? Got hate in your heart, huh? Talkin about thats no hate towards the South, then what is it??
and BTW,
You talk about hating, but you can never seem to justify the purpose of all the GARBAGE underground niggas you like without comparing them to the south. Are you that insecure or something? Why does everything have to be a NY & South comparison?
When you're great, you're just great. You don't need to be compared to someone else to make yourself look good.
@Tony Snow & Alive
Listen no one doin it now, from any coast could fuck with Big L., including the East Coast feel better. It seemed like hate Alive, cuz it sounded like you were trying to down play his influence. I thought you meant that all dudes NYC are basicly carbon copies. BIG L. was one of a kind check his freestyles.

yo is jigga and nas gon b there at that party? it dont say they gon b there. u got dustheads goin crazy ready to go to that shit and they aint even gon b there.

You talking about Alphabetical Slaughter? gimmick? lyrical excercise maybe but not gimmick. Dude got lyrics his delivery is choppy and overenunciates his words, but lyric for lyric he's nice compared to most rappers that came out since 04. Note I didn't say top and I did not count his guest spot in Kool G Raps Giancanna Story. I guess beef and redundant subject matter is OK just can't think outside the box no more.
@Alive
Those underground cats must be over ya head. Check the lyrics. I know you turn it off cuz it don't have a beat you can dance to. I compare who I like to anybody on any coast. It don't matter.
Vakill & Brother Ali (midwest) a beast. Justus League, Little Brother (south) filthy, JMT (philly) unreal, Ras Kass (west) holdin it down.
Dips & Yayo (East) GARBAGE, JIBBS & DRO. (south) GARBAGE, E40 (west) GARBAGE, KAYNE (midwest) GARBAGE.
No hate just the TRUTH. I know it hurts sometimes.
ONE
>>and I did not count his guest spot in Kool G Raps Giancanna Story.
It's a good thing you didn't count that since Pap was on Roots Of Evil not The Giancana Story.
All I'm going to say is this is when Harlem was Harlem! That joint he had with the slang is a classic, also I like to thank Mister Cee for the Old School @ Noon today he was reppin Big L hard today, Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Naw, it's none of that homeboy. I was stating how I felt and what it done for me, which was turned me off to the dude. True it was different, but was on some of that "The Count" from Sesame Street type of deal and I just never checked for the dude sense.
Me, I'm all about the "do it different" from this garbage that is "hiphop" now, that's the only thing I try and get across to folks when it comes to hip hop.
I never said he wasn't nice with the word play, just not diggin his style.
Now, here is something that is gonna excite some folks...and again, I'm only speaking how I feel.
First off, R.I.P. Big L.
He was nice from what I heard, but he never really "blew me away" any more than what Cam or Mase was sayin on the same songs. To me, and I'm not from NY...he just didn't really stand out to me. Again, I say that I wasn't really checking for the dude and maybe I was just asleep on the dude, but what I heard him on, that's what I based what I'm sayin on.
Hip Hop followers have a way of placing their dead artists on pedestools like they are Gods for real, for real. That's like automatic for anyone that may have been nice and then was killed. You will never know how someone would stack up in todays world.
Me personally, I still feel like AZ is one of the nicest to ever pick up a mic. In my opinion, would flow circles around half of your favorite rappers favorite rappers, yet he's slept on???
Canibus??? Who want's it with Canibus lyrically??? Come on now??
Let's get real about it.
PZ, B Stuy
Just sent ya'll friend request on myspace make sure u accept them.
@Eddy G,
I wasn't going to say it, but lets just be real here. The more you talk, the more narrow minded and stupid you sound. You know one kind of music - that 1989 NY shit. You diss anyone not from NY, and you even hate on NY niggas once they have made it big.
I could play the dopest cd ever made, and a nigga like you would still find ways to downplay it's tightness. Aint SHIT go over my head homeboy - it just isn't that tight. The style is NY centric, but the lyrics are nothing new or innovative. Show me some new message that's never been heard before from those bums you like, and I'll pay you. If that's the type of music you like - good for you. But don't try to make everyone look like an idiot because they don't like that trash.
The moment I heard Sean Price CD, I knew your taste in music was garbage.
PZ at February 15, 2007 3:54 PM
To me Canibus was a dope MC with potential.Nice rhymes but he had a lot of weak songs and plus he had to go at LL Cool J and he lost a lot of respect. That beef was more interesting than the Cam and 50 beef. LL spitted the best rhymes in his career in that one.
@La Finesse,
I agree totally. There is a difference between having potential, and taking your craft to the next level.
How did you spend your Valentine's Day miss lady?
RapIsAlive
Hello and thanks for asking. After brushing my shoulders off for not having a Valentine I treated myself to a spa at Cesars Palace. Then I went to see Norbit with Eddie Murphy. Truthfully I wanted to see Hannibal Rising to commemorate the holiday but it was too crowded.
@ La Finesse
Well good day to you exy, I'm not feeling the love today are you good today?

Was Norbit worth going to see in the movies or should I just cop it from the blockl?
B- Stuy Long
You know I got love for you.Do you have a myspace page? I don't have one yet but I would like to check yours out.
Step you right now Step.
But why the other website with the rumors section is tryna say Little Brother is breaking up? any truth to that? First how many people here are even up on Little Brother 9th Wonder or Justus League?
@ eddy g
you like underground n you bring them dudes up come on.....serius jones yeah......kenn starr yeah......wordsworth yeah....and about Canibus come on man he just sounds stupid tryin to sound so intelligent his lyrics are better on paper than spoken id rather listen to last emperor ....Most Underrated MCS?
GZA,AZ,Big L,Andre 3000,Kurupt.
@B-Stuy Long,
I didn't go see that homie, that was La Finesse. A good friend of mine went to see it though, and he said the shit was funny.

You right, he had some wack songs but it was simply because of the production. It was NEVER due to his ability on the mic. NEVER.
Had he had the right team behind him, with the proper production creating good songs, nobody could touch that dude in his lane.
Now, here I go again...stepping out and being bold. Canibus chewed up LL Cool J. Chewed him up, but it was the whole lil dog taking in big dog and he was snuffed out because of it. Even though LL came aight, Canibus chewed him up on the mic, period.
even if cam and dipset were signed to big l's label shit would be different they would be all funny style and shit i dont know who knows nobody can say for sure still R.I.P

OK..If you not overweight and your not offended of fat people and Asians being discriminated against. The movie is funny as hell go see it.

I agree. LL only went at duke cause he ripped him on his own song and when i think back to that song he was trying to at everybody on it!
