Separate but related: Rewind the Battle with Big L on the Roc…you got Nas going up against Jay, L, Beans, Cam, etc.

Not saying Nas would’ve gotten bodied but that woulda been some serious pressure for him dolo.

We were all excited for L to sign at Roc.

Whole block was talking about it for weeks. That's the kinda boost his career needed because by this time DITC had cooled off, and most of the members didn't even live in NYC anymore. All L needed was the right production and he was good. Jay was trying to get him at Roc back in like '97, but L's paperwork with Columbia still wasn't right.

Nas would’ve needed Az and mobb deep. Cormega wasn’t really messing with Nas around that time.

Wasn't Big L on his way to signing with RocNation? Some people are saying he's doper than Cam but Cam was more naturally entertaining where Big L is somewhat contrived in that regard

But some of the best punchlines there are in Hip-Hop, but is that truly sustainable? How many punchlines are there as good as "so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet"

Just like can was gonna get involved in jay z vs nas, neither would L, unless nas called him out.

And even if he did, nobody cared about the side show, only the main artist

We all know cam and state p dissed the shyt outta nas, hard disses. But in reality nobody cared bout it and ether won the beef
