Why does everyone talk about BIG and Pac?!
Question: But Big L hardly ever gets a mention.
Answers: But Big L hardly ever gets a mention.
You know why? That's because MTV and BET blew BIG and 2Pac's success outta proportion. They made many radio friendly songs and the hits appealed to mainstream (white) audiences, thanks to Diddy and 2Pac's hooking up with Dr. Dre.
Ask yourself if anybody followed DITC (Diggin' In The Crates, the crew Big L was a member of) at all? No, most people only know of Fat Joe, but don't recall him in that group and fewer know Lord Finesse and MTV in the same sentence. Pac and Big owed a lot to mainstream success. Big L was a WAAAAAY better lyricist than both Biggie and Big L, in my personal opinion. Come to think of it, those 2 aren't even in my Top 5. Big L is though.
Plus do you think Big L was ever gonna get mainstream radio play and videos with lyrics like:
Yo, check it
Yo, I got slugs for snitches
No love for b!tches
Puttin thugs in ditches
When my trigger finger itches
I got a rep that make police jet
Known to get a priest wet
I never beg for pvssy like Keith Sweat
Is Big L slow? Hell no
B!tches get fucked on the roof when I ain't got no hotel dough
I'm known for yoking jacks
And beatin them with smoking gats
Leavin token blacks with broken backs and open caps
So with that bullsh!t, step to the rear son
The last thing you want with Big L is a fair one
Cause in a street brawl, I strike men like lightning
You see what happened in my last fight friend?
Aight then
I beat kids with lead pipes
I leave a trail of dead mic's
Where I'm from, n!ggaz jewels get ran like red lights
Old folks get mugged and raided
Crimes are drug related
And we live by the street rules that thugs created
Clowns get smoked about a thousand volts
For selling pounds of coke
Front in this town and get a tech stuck down your throat
I'm tellin you sh!t is about to get drastic soon
I'm quick to blast a goon
And break a motherfucker like a plastic spoon
I got the looks that make your hotty stare
I keep a shotty near
It's the n!gga with notty hair who Gotti fear
Tracks I'm know to roast
Until the microphone is ghost
Props I own the most
I'm leaving n!ggaz comatose
Front and get your brain pinched
Big L will have your whole gang lynched
I started smoking dust and been insane since
This rap sh!t was a great gift
The other night some snake riffed
And got a hot lead face lift
All through high school I had braids
I kept mad blades
Stabbing teachers to death that gave me bad grades
I cook the mic like a beef steak
Cause my techniques great
And I'm the n!gga police hate in each state
Cause I'm the neighborhood lamper
Punk brother vamper
Fvck around you'll find my silk boxers in your mother's hamper
Cops drop when my glock makes a pow sound
I'm from a whyle town
You know my style clown, so bow down
My crew be deliverin hot lead when gats are clenched
Rappers I jack and lynch
Nobody can fvck with the way I be killing the sh!t in rap events
Big L is the n!gga you expect
To catch wreck in any cassette deck
I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet
I'm feeling like Billy Bathgate
My rap style is past great
I love to fvck a b!tch from the back and watch her azz shake
I probably got your mommy strung
N!ggaz hear me and take more notes than Connie Chung
My clan plans to get Guillianni hung
Never had a gassed head
Got loot cause I stash bread
Try to tax and I'ma beat your fa66ot azz half-dead
I stomp white cops till the life stops
For a low price hops
Cause my blood is colder than an ice box
On 1-3-9 you don't want a block war
Cause my crew will kill a n!gga from the lobby to the top floor
And every time a mack eleven bucks
I'm killing at least seven ducks
I never was a follower of Reverend Butts
The b!tch type I dislike, I'm rougher than a fist fight
All chicks ain't sh!t, ain't no such thing as Miss Right
So we can never be a couple hun
Fvck love, all I got for h0's is hard d!ck and bubble gum
And clown emcee's I be attacking quick
I'm on some rappin sh!t and some car jackin sh!t
I ran up on this n!gga name Mac in a black ac
And put the gat to his cap, click-clack
Sorry jack but get up out of that
My 38 works great, so make a mistake and hesitate
I can't wait to demonstrate this nickel plate
He didn't listen to what I was speakin
He started reaching
So I left him sleepin with his temple leaking
who?
oh yea dat guy
You haven't been on this site that long have you?
because they're the greatest
2-Pac and Biggie were like the realist and truist rappers in the game. They talked about REAL, TRUE stuff. They didn't talk about what the rappers talk about today, you know: money, chains, ice, cars, and hoes. In the words of Biggie: "True Playa 4real, ask my n*gg*, 4 real.
A lot of people mention Big L here
'I don't understand it"
IN GENERAL KRS ONE IS THE BEST RAPPER EVER.
BUT BIGGIE, PAC, RAKIM,NAS,BIG L ARE ONE OF 100 BEST RAPPERS IN HIP HOP .
