Big L definitely a legend to me, he made his mark and people still talking about him now. Plus he's probably a top 20 - 50 rapper and off just pure skill even higher. L was a beast.
Why does Big L not get love on TheColi?

Big L was much more than a punchline rapper too, could post multiple songs where the main focus wasn't that. He was excellent at punches though, witty, his multies were very ill too, delivered and structured well. He was a great rapper, wish he could have dropped more music, but am grateful for what he did do because there's some greatness there.

He used to. It's a whole new generation of fans now.

@adonnis - pull up, there's refreshments
Are you fukking retarded? The statement was why doesn't big L get the credit he deserves. I said he's in my type 5, then you go on a diatribe about my lack of music knowledge because it doesn't fit into YOUR idealistic definition.
Again, YOU put my name in your mouth not the other way around. Expect to take a shot at me and me not shoot back breh. Again little Nikka, you started this.
So I'll ask again, keep my dikk out your mouth. Have a goodnight sir.
Is this your example of thinking? Okay, cool. Do that as hard as you can for 10 seconds, think as hard as you can to the top of your ability. You done now? Good. Now never do that again
You probably thought you were real slick and I don't mean to hurt your self-esteem tonight but here we go 
No. You've clearly shown, as evident, that you lack the basic credibility to make a top 5 that has any validity
Your favorite is an opinion, a subjective matter and you have the right to make that but make the distinction or else you will get called out. You want to talk about the top 5 greatest of all-time, there's standards, prerequisites - it's quantifiable. This is a grown man's game. That whole "I have a right to my opinion" doesn't fly, you can go back to the kid's table with that talk
Furthermore, to make matters worse you talk like a repressed homo. Grow up
I started this? I called you out. I would expect you to take issue because you don't know any better, as you've shown

This is the real answer. Somewhere down the line things got twisted with how L was perceived because apparently he has white fans. I've never encountered this in real life, but apparently it's a thing.My first exposure to Big L was white kids parading him around as their underground real rap champion, as well as Hov haters using him to bash Jay, so from the get go I had a soured perspective towards his praise when aside from Put It On his music didn't really match up to the hype imo
As someone who was a huge fan of L in the 90s, that's crazy and the furthest thing from the truth when L was actually alive. I had Lifestylez on cassette. I bought the fukking McGruff album just so I could hear L's verse
People who were in the know knew all about L and everyone knew he was a problem.
It's depressing to think about what could have been if he would have lived and signed to the Roc

i think it has a lot to do with the timing too. right when L became a big thing on the net it was around the time when the internet started bubbling and a new generation of white boys were getting up on rap because of Eminem. there's always that group that thinks they're better because they're super underground heads. plus the super punchline rap was becoming the peak of lyricism and L was one of the forefathers of that style.

He gets love on here but people take it too far. He was dope but its ridiculous to call him top 5 or even top 10. He had 1 album thats average at best
Most of the Coli is too young to know about him or want to go listen to his music
I wasn't a fan but he was dope, witty as hell and nice with the multis...you can hear his influence in early Cam..back in the COF days

Big L is nice.
The flaw for me is that his style is very stiff. Could almost be reading from the page when he's in the booth.
Most importantly.. I have never heard Big L in the wild. Someone just driving along bumping it. Or one of the homies yelling out: yo bump that.. Or in a club. Or anywhere.
No disrespect to Big L, but he would have had to develop some more to be top top notch.
