I remember coming home from school to this shyt. Like this can't be the MASTA I.C??? Making jiggy songs.Yeah, I bought this damn album because I was kinda into the single, but it was trash, lol.
His first album was a personal classic for me though. But he f*cked up when he hopped on that wave that a lot of rappers were doing at the time, with trying to do what Puff was doing. He looked wild awkward and uncomfortable in the video. Like someone was making him do sh*t he really didn't want to do.
Loved his first album, but after hearing this single, I never bought this album. Even a Jay Z verse(after he had somewhat become established) and Puff feature couldn't save this shyt. I don't know why did this shyt.Yeah, I bought this damn album because I was kinda into the single, but it was trash, lol.

I swear that Jada line "you know dead rappers get better promotion" was about Big L.So a guy who wasn’t top 15 in his own city at his death, how does he go from that to “OMG Big L da GOAT, Big L woulda been top ten all time, big L woulda been a superstar if he lived”
I guess, I just mean BET played that wack ass Geronimo and Puff song A LOT. I don't know if it was payola or what but that shyt was in rotation. So, he was definitely more of a household name than L was.
Big L wasn’t even known outside of Harlem when he died. Dude could have walk dolo around Harlem and no crowd will swam him, why do you think he was killed in Harlem and prolly leaved in an apartment. No one in my BX HS heard of him, the guy career underground career was done before his death. Up to now you won’t find any of his live big arena performance of him. Made was tuning shyt from 1996 to 1999 with DMX, Busta and Jay. Disrespect to put BiG L in the same breath as Mase.
He wasn’t even on Lost Boyz level. Imagine all the dope artists, various sounds out there in the mid 90s, who the fcuk want to pop in some outdated Big L trash.
The oddest shyt ever. He was barely a middle of the pack MC….next thing you know, years later white dudes (not you) get offended that I said as much.So a guy who wasn’t top 15 in his own city at his death, how does he go from that to “OMG Big L da GOAT, Big L woulda been top ten all time, big L woulda been a superstar if he lived”
Honestly You can makey the case he wasn’t one of the 10 biggest rappers in NYC the month before he died
I was wondering how these online white dudes could come off telling me about dude’s stature in my own city. NOW it makes sense. 
Mace was on mixtapes in the mid 90s and getting hella more buzz than Big L who sounded like Big Daddy Kane past his expiration date. He did not stand out to niqqas during that time….at all. Sounded like a Washington Square Park rapper who got a minor deal.
