"Never cross the black cat with the riches, I'm leaving Stevie saying no wonder y'all superstitious"...its lines like these made me never hate on Jay-Z til this day because I will always remember how ill he was. He doesn't have to say much in his rhymes for him to hit you with some real clever shit
@yungac3 thiz the shit i hate big l was gonna sign to the roc him and jay was mad kool and in metaphors big l not fuckin wit j kuz all he got iz punch lines
hovs delivery is too unorthodox to appeal to a lot of listeners, big l would win because his verses are easier to follow. line for line 2 of the best tho no doubt and i could see it go either way. rip big l.
. wayne has the same advantage with todays lazy fans.
@yungac3 you're right, cause Jay's lyrics would go over niggas head so high they'd quit lookin up and go for the shit they could easily understand at eye level.
nall as far as flavor....Big L couldnt se Hov

You can hear the pause between rhymes. He's thinking right on the spot. He's not spittin continuous bars. It's broken up.

@yungac3 Too bad, Big L, never goes off the top. Which Jay has always done. Besides these two already freestyled together on the radio.
