Big L’s legacy is not celebrated on the level of most deceased rappers. He never dropped a crossover smash single or a 5-mic’er, but he had the arrogant MC persona locked. L was a pioneer of the ‘eloquent-ignorance’ style that most of todays notable lyricists try perfect. On this posse-cut he wastes Lord Finesse and a young Jay-Z.

“Big L be lightin’ niggas like incense
Gettin men lynched, doing nonsense
Im killin’ infants for ten cents
Cause Im a street genius with a unique penis
Got fly chicks on my dick that dont even speak english
Im makin ducks shed much tears, I buck queers
I dont have it all upstairs but who the fuck cares?
Im grabbin brews takin fast swiggas
I get cash and stash figures and harass them bitch ass niggas
After you youre man’ll get scared next
And if ya squad flex, Im lettin off like Bernard Goetz
A tech nine is my utensil
Fillin’ niggas with so much led they can use they dick for a pencil
Im known for snatchin’ purses and bombin’ churches
I get more pussy on accident than most niggas get on purpose
I got drug spots from New York to Canada
Cause Big L be fuckin’ with more keys than a janitor”
