Big L - "MVP"
Posted on February 16, 2006 10:00 AM
Put your Ls up. Take it how you wanna.
Yesterday marked the 7th anniversary of the slaying of Harlem's lyrical champion. To the memory of Lamont Coleman we dedicate this week's edition of Throwback Thursday. Big L burst his way onto Rap City countdowns and east coast radio stations with the ever-infectious remix of MVP, the lead-single to his debut album Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous.
When you see this sign... *raises "L" hand gesture into the air* This don't mean motherfuckin LL Cool J, nigga! GET EM UP!!!
I remember cashing my summer youth employment check, buying a walkman, taping this song off the radio and playing it repeatedly instead of working. Listening to Big L was far better than filing court documents.
I'd usually get home just in time to catch the second hour of Rap City. If it was a good day, Joe Clair would throw to this video just as I got my kool-aid. It was cool to see a fellow Harlem kid on the screen. Even if he was wearing leprechaun clothes. He ain't care. He was always a flamboyant nigga.
It was cool to see the D.I.T.C. crew on TV as well. The uptown alliance was in full effect and Big L was the new hope. Young Skywalker knew how to put words together in the greasiest of manners.
Look at Kid Capri gettin the Charlie's Angels rubdown. Nigga look happy as hell. How you livin like that in somebody else's video? If only the DJ ever really had it that good. The DJ is supposed to be the backbone of the culture and you probably couldn't pick most of the niggas whose mixtapes you listen to out of a lineup.
I don't even have to tell you what year this shit is. Doesn't this video just scream 1995 at you? This is definitely that type of party. I just wanted y'all to think back to this time for a minute today. Also, if you love him like we do in Harlem, this time is set aside to throw a little somethin up for him as you listen to a smooth ass track with some dope, edgy lyrics on it. Even if on a bittersweet note... The party's been started.
Big L, we miss you.

Myspace the kid as well. I love you all.

Big L iz da best MC of ALL timeZ in my eyez. But iz sad that MC now b tryin 2 jack his style up. i have all his song on my IPod nobody could rock da MIC like he did R I P Big L
hands down, one of the illest, if not the best. my IPOD is full of his joints, and i never skip to the next track like i do with other artists. he was just too nice. I personally think jigga put a hit out on em. At the I declare war concert, jigga said, r.i.p to everybody but big L, and a fan in the front row, screamed out big L, an only than did jigga say, oh yeah big L too, thas fucked up. seeing how thas the same nigga u used to dick ride. Any body heard that joint they did together, where jigga sounds like he's from another planet, with some hop skipi doo type flow , my boy heard it for the 1st time, and he was like, thas jay? no way lol big L was spitting dope shit, while jay was struggling to find a flow. i think it's called 7 min freestyle or someshit like that, check it out.
Big L g.o.a.t
Oh by the way click on the Direct Link to see Cam'rons new product line
Definately one of the best to ever do it. As far as the flow he was one of the elite. His flow was flawless, the punchlines were sick, L would be on the top of the game if he was still alive just ask Dame Dash he wanted to bring L to the Roc plus he was just startin to get his buzz. L to me is the best MC to ever come from Harlem.
"Hoes be on me like I'm welfare/ Even rich ones that live in Bel Air/ Is this Big L's year/ Hell Yea"
"L is raps most livest cats/ I'm gettin stacks/while you askin people 'do you want fries wit that"
"I'm dumb hot/I reck you and ya young flock/keep the gun cocked/represent one block"
Best Flows:
1. Big L (R.I.P.)
2. tie: the life's a bitch AZ and Kool G Rap
3. Pun (R.I.P.)
4. Jada
5. Fab
i aint got nothin bad to say bout Big L, hes one of my favorite rappers of all time

but yo is there anyway i can get to a talk video archive or something.?

RIP BIG L.
He was by far one of the best. Should of come up of that chain though, he'd of had 20 of them if he was still alive.
"At the I declare war concert, jigga said, r.i.p to everybody but big L, and a fan in the front row, screamed out big L, an only than did jigga say, oh yeah big L too, thas fucked up." - bkallday.
Wow, that must have been a mistake... because whenever Jay-Z does his tribute section, he usually makes everyone in the crowd do an array of hand motions that usually goes "A for Aaliyah, 2 fingers for 2Pac, and an L for Big L."
He must have just been faded that day or something... or maybe niggas really ARE forgetting about Big L.
SY Young... We keep the archives on the side column of the blog. There is also a categories section.
We try to be helpful as possible here.
God damn shame Big L didn't have more time to shine. He was amazing on the mic. I remember the first time I heard him on Stretch Armstrong. It was sick.
It's a shame what has happened to Harlem. Harlem had Big L (that nigga was official). Now they have Cam, Jim Jones, and Juelz.
What a downfall.
Peace to the whole D.I.T. C. crew:
Diamond D- "Stunts , Blunts and Hip-HOP(Break beat classic)
O.C.- Time's Up( so many lyrical off-spring)
Lord Finnesse- Funky Technician (Ahead of his time)
Showbiz and A.G.- Yo Ronnie you can't front, Runaway Slave is a top 10 album of all time
Fat Joe- He stay grinding and eff the hate, he has evoled lyrically.
Buckwild- Y'all cats really need to check his production credits
Big L- Robbed of his shine, would have made Mase and Cam step thier game up in Children of the Corn
Also, Some one said Jigga set him up. Please stop with these stupid accusations. Everyone knows the story but I won't give his murder any energy. Let's just say it's sad for Hip-Hop when so many of our stars have been murdered that we forget a couple during the tribute section that every Hip-Hop show now has.
"battling me is like fighting a guerilla in a phone booth"
just one of big l classic punchlines from a freestyle with him and lord finnesse.
chevy g. hustle you aint lying,but check some of mgruffs shit out.that nigga is crazy with it and hes a real live street nigga.
I only heard one of McGruff's songs. He didn't get much play down here in Georgia. bxconnect if you got some of his shit, let me download it my nigga.
R.I.P. BIG L... HARLEM'S FINEST!!!
FLAMBOYANT FOR LIFE!!!

Big L r.i.p. fam! Damn I can't believe its been 7 years. I used to rock this crazy in 95.
If u look at the video closely, you can see a young Mr. Mason Betha (before the Bad Boy deal) in this video playing one of the robbers.

a middle finger 2 the family of the bastard who shot Big L.
peace to Big L

This was the tune when I was younger!!! I used to sing this and cool breeze like I was in that joint.
R.I.P. L
I aint really like this song here but I love the way Big L straight gettin rugged on a laid back player type track. My favorite Big L song was Ebonics straight lyrics at it's finest. Yeah contrary to popular belief Big L got played in the south too!! RIP can you imagine if L,Camron,and Mase were in a group today with out them changin up thier original style!!! Children Of the Corner thats gangsta!!
Best Big L:
Fuckin Punk//You aint a leader,what?//Nobody followed you//You was never shit// Your mother should've swallowed you.
or
Ask beavis//I get nothin but head

big L is a top five mc.
The dude said "I got more riches than you/f**k more B**thes than you/ the only thing I ain't got is more stitches than you/ f**kin' punk, you ain't a leader, what!!!! nobody followed you/you was never sh*t your mother should've swallowed you!!
that's says it all!!!
RIP BIG L Harlem's finest
beleive it or not i dont only listen to Ohio artists, Big L is one of my favorite MC's of all time
Big L be lightin' niggas like incense
Gettin' men lynched to win tits
I'm killin' infants for ten cents
Cause I'm a street genius with a unique penis
Got fly chicks on my dick that don't even speak English
I'm makin' ducks shed much tears
I buck queers
I don't have it all upstairs but who the fuck cares?
I'm grabbin' brews takin' fast swiggas
I get cash and stash figures and harass them bitch ass niggas
After you you're gonna get scared next
And if ya squad flex
I'm lettin' off like Bernard Getts
A tech nine is my utensil
Fillin' niggas with so much led they can use they dick for a pencil
I'm known for snatchin' purses and bombin' churches
I get more pussy on accident then most niggas get on purpose
I got drug spots from New York to Canada
Cause Big L be fuckin' with more keys than a janitor
If Big L were still alive today, people would mention his name in the same sentence as Nas, 2Pac, Jay, and Biggie. That's your top five right there. RIP Big L. And fuck Pastor Mase

^^^^^ Thats that shit right there, OHIO NIGGA good lookin on postin that up son. If Big L was still around them bitches Cam and Ma$e woulda kept tight on the mic. Children of the Corn had mad potential. R.I.P. Big L
HighLife : Ay son, your top 5 is spot on, Jay, Biggie, Big L, Nas and Pac, straight up.
Just thought I'd share this:
I'm 18, so if this came out in 1995, I was about 8 or 9. At the time, I thought the hook was saying he's Biggie and I use to see bits and peices of it all the time (thanks to my brothers and sister). So to the dude up there, who said that the video reminded him of Biggie; you're not the only one.
Big L is the illest nigga to ever come out of NY or the whole fuckin east coast one love to L. R.I.P
This is a remix, but yea, L is the greatest deceased rapper. (Sorry Pac fans.)
You should of done the "Put It On" video though, I know its on YouTube also.
RIP to Big L,
Hands down to the the father of punch lines, The best to ever come out of Harlem, One of the top 3 N.Y rappers.. peace out L.
"Mami got me harder that a spanish test"
Big L
Big L....rip....a true master...
Damn Ron, good one, I forgot they even made a video for this joint. Whoever asked, this did come out before the One More Chance Remix, and I like the way it's flipped here much better...
Big L was one of the greatest who never got the proper shine. I remember the first time I ever heard of him was in a profile in the Source (when that shit actually WAS the bible of hip hop), and after reading it kind of thought he was a clown. Then I heard Devils Son and Put It On and realized that the only clown was the one staring back at me in the mirror. When the album got 4 mics I was probably as excited as L was himself, Lifestyles of the Poor and Dangerous started getting cult status around the way....I just wish he had put out more material...the bottom line is he's a damn legend, and the fucked up thing is a lot of the people whosing his praises now would be hating on him like a 50 blog right now because he'd be making crazy club joints and selling ill amounts of records. He was a flossy dude before flossiness took over, and we all know how much the 'purists' hate a flossy cat now...but I digress, the man with one real album managed to get GOAT stats...
Props and RIPs to L aside, it wouldn't be right not to pick on someone here, and unfortunately for Joe Clair, it's gonna be him today.
What in the name of fuckery happened to you, Joe Cleezy? You was holding down one of the most respected outlets for rap videos at one point, and now you're lovin it at McDonalds and shopping for Car insurance? Fell of harder than Mic Geronimo on that one Joey...damn homie. Call up The Negro Channel and get Madd Sports back on the air (you know as well as I do that Rap City is dead and LONG buried), and I'll watch it this time. Really, I will, I know I meant to before and never did, but I got you Joe...just don't let me see you on another damn insurance commercial. Please. I'll pay your electric bill if I have to.
Anyway, back to L, he will always be missed.
Payin respects to my favorite rapper of all time, Big L. He's part of the reason that I shortened my rap name to just Young L. Big L's lyrics from '93-'99 shit on almost every rapper '97-'06. a soul lost. Fuck Kanye, Big L was the true savior of hip-hop, get it right. if Big L was here and kept that Harlem Movement moving, hip-hop would be better off than it is now. I'm from D.C., but I know good hip-hop, and everybody that Big L rolled with was better then than they are now. check the artists yourself...Fat Joe, Jay-Z, Cam'rom (Killa Kam), Ma$e (Murda Mase)...everyone back then was lyrically hotter and their flow was tighter. Big L seemed to have that presence where if you was round him, you stepped ya shit up or got embarrassed. And that's why he's my favorite rapper of all time. R.I.P. Big L
P.S. Damn shame about Joe Clair...he from D.C., too. You know they don't let niggaz in D.C. have shit for too long before they take it away lol. oh yeah, click on my name to hear 4 tracks off my mixtape, coming soon to D.C., MD, VA, NY, Jersey, Philly, ATL, and New Orleans. Had to throw that in since I had the link lol
BIG L the Very Best!!
Listen to his songs!! unreal!!
"I jumped out the Lincoln//
left him stinkin//
Put his brains in the street//
Now you can see what he was just thinkin"
The top 5 from one of the posts above was rite!
but i'd take out Jay Z (theres better rappers than him), i'd throw Big Pun in there.
(in no order) Big L, 2Pac, Biggie, Big Pun, Nas.
u decide but that is my top 5.
RIP Big L, 2Pac, Biggie, Pun
the 4 deadliest mc's!!
Peace.....
Ayo Big L is the best rapper in my book I jus wish he was still here. Him and biggie smalls would have did some big things together L was the laid back type dat would kick a flow and jus murder it dats why I liked him so much but i'm bout to be out R.I.P Big L We will alwyas miss u.. 1 luv
undeniably one of the best rappers(no offense tupac) to ever have been on the mic.
R.I.P Big L
