Yeah but that was internal shyt years later after X was 5x bigger than the Lox ever been. They was speaking more from hating on them while they was popping and he wasn't.
Mase talks about the time Big L tried to get him robbed "It Is What It Is"
- Thread starter FreshAIG
- Start date
So Big L had a 1 on 1 beef and ran to Fat Joe
similar played out with me in high school
A kid gone off Xanax started getting disrespectful. He spit at me, I punched him twice and twisted his arm and threw him down on the hood of his friend’s pops car (just like the Amesbury police did to me for literally no reason aside for knowing my rights). Told him “you know what I could do to you right now”, the reason I went easy on him was his dad was my pop warner football coach
later that night me and my friends were in two cars driving through town, he was begging them to jump me and they told me about it and said they wouldn’t let it happen
the next day gone of Xanax again he got into it with my friend on the basketball court. My friend hit him twice just like I did
later me and him made a song together

So in real time the Lox were already moving and shaking by time X gained notoriety. Remember X buzz started in 1997, but it was mostly in the underground/mixtape circuit, he still wasn't like a thing until 1998. By then The Lox was already signed to Bad Boy, and was all over the No Way Out album. Also remember X was trying to get signed with them to Bad Boy at the exact same time Diddy said no because he sounded too rough, but signed the Lox. That alone could've been an issue because X was considered the prize pick from the Ruff Ryders and to get upstaged by your understudies could fukk with your ego.

The nikka that killed him, Big L was involved in setting him up to get killed first. He was actually there when the hit failed. Big L was moving wild.
Yep.So Big L had a 1 on 1 beef and ran to Fat Joe
Fat Joe talked about it before a few times
That’s just grimey scumbag stuff
the word was always that he was killed via mistaken identity
tend to your character brehs, so that your reputation may look after itself
His brother and Cam kinda confirmed years later it wasn't mistaken identity. The nikka who killed Big L (allegedly) Gerard Woodley, grew up with all of them. Basically they was trying to kill Woodley, and Big L was involved in the set up, and was there when the hit went down, but the hit failed and Woodley got out of there. And when dude caught up to Big L, he killed him.That’s just grimey scumbag stuff

I done seen that shyt play out too many times in real life. A lot of so called gangstas are p*ssy by themselves or without a gun. I've had it happen to me where I stepped to somebody and they backed down when by themselves. Then I see them with their crew and all of a sudden all the rah rah talk starts up. Luckily I always had a lot of connections so didn't get jumped.
The funniest to me was in high school. We was playing ball in gym class and one of the cats was a football player and played like one. Funny enough a NY nikka who was pretty new to town. The dude he fouled was a white blood. We hit the locker room and the white dude was bytching about getting fouled hard and the NY nikka straight punked. Got in the white boys face telling him shut the fukk up or he'll beat his ass right there. White dude was silent and just put his head down and walked away. Then another gym class ended and some more of his boys came in there and then the white dude starts talking shyt "fukk you punk ass bytch I'll kill you". Later shows up at dude's bus stop with 5 people to jump the NY cat. Word had it the NY nikka held his own with all five of them and walked away basically unharmed.

I always read that he got hit in retaliation for some shyt his brother did or he was mistaken for his brother.
Never knew Big L himself was on that grimy tip but it makes sense given that Cam, for at least the last 5-6 years has been hinting that he ain’t really fukk with L like that and that the neighborhood they came from was such that nikkas would help your grandmother carry groceries to her door and then go and try and have you lined up 15 minutes later.
I mean the nikka made an album called Lifestyles Ov The Poor AND DANGEROUS.
Growing up there were certain little kids that weren't scared to talk crazy to bigger kids because they had older siblings with a rep. Like if you got into with them, their older sibling would pop up on you. That's pretty much how I see Big L, his rap style, apparently how he treated people.
His big brother was a bully, he didn't know anything but that. The wake up call usually occurs when the BULLY dies. But the bully was locked up....
