Big L Work Ethic

Postby EminemIVLife » Dec 18th, '09, 13:00

He's one of my fav rappers technically of all time and his 1995 album Lifestyles of the Poor and Dangerous was raw as fuck and contained many amazing cuts. When I listened to that album I got goosebumps coz it was almost a premonition of what was to come: for example when he was talking about how the streets were calling him and how he tried to leave them alone. The album was cohesive imo and a great first drop. Four years later and Big L was dead and the only other album to come up post-humously was The Big Picture, containing only a dozen or so tracks, some weak but some particularly strong like the well known "Ebonics". The Big Picture was not a real album tho and freestyles of L's were added to it along with unreleased tracks while producers contributed to most of it well after Big L's passing. So only 1 legititmate album from this potential great from 1995-1999 and my question is: does anyone know why his work-rate/pace was so slow ?

Maybe he thought that rap wasn't really the right way for him to get the money.

Trying to once again prove that Big L is a joke? Like how you denounced Raekwon and Jay-Z? :n:

You forgot to edit this one. I knew you would edit the other one.

So how is Stanley C. doing? Your other account? :n:

i cant get over how young he must have been when he recorded his first (amazing)album, probably about 19 or 20 and it came out that good? Thats quite unbelievable: and I guess its a fact that most of that album was real talk :)
