Big L - I don't understand it

Postby Hiphopdane » Mar 31st, '11, 17:33

One of the best rap songs ever written.

Every time I listen to some overrated bullshit emcee I think of this track and how I wish he was still alive to rip those fake rappers a new asshole. The fact that he doesn't mention any rapper just makes it timeless - a track you can always relate to.

Big L represented everything great about hip hop. Probably the realest dude ever.

Brah, what is the name of the song? :coffee:
I have started to listen to Big L and he is awesome :smoking:
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Read the title? Big L - "I don't understand it"

Shits wack though tbh. Lil Wayne assassinates him in every respect... murderer.

Although this was a great song, rap was in a golden age during the year he dropped it. Who could he have possibly been referring to?

I've been thinking the same thing. Back then the most popular rappers were also the best but a great track nevertheless.

The whole track is screaming "have some pride, you money grabbing whore" :y:

One of my best Big L songs for sure.

I love songs where it's practically post dated.

KRS' "My philosophy" is another one.

Applies more in later years than it did at the time.
