  • This is real hip hop. Not hating on the music of today, it's 2012, of course things have changed, it's supposed to. But this stuff from the 90s, hip hop in it's purest form. Today is the result of too many rnb and rap collabos that lead to what we hear now. Today,it's pop music, all of it. I actually like some of it. it's when they say Flo Rida and LMAO is hip hop, that's when i sound off.

  • you can't compare rappers, every single one has a different flow/style, and they write their own lyrics, stop bitchin' and enjoy the music

  • aight check this outt,,, you cant be comparing all rappers because the only rappers that i really feel is big l, and 2pac,, they be specific on all their songs,,, but maybe some people listen to other rappers different,, maybe they saw them in a movie,, or some one familiar knows em idk but yeah

  • LOOL its crayzyy how ppl say 2pac is #1... lol like i meen -_-' wtf?? he not better than nas , az , big L , Kool g rap , or Rakim OR BIGGIE Lol so hows he even top 5 i could name mo but too much writing lol

  • Bitch...I saw him run from a chick...shut your damn heads. He wasn't a G...You idiot don't even know. Idiots. He got peaced out because he was a thief and a liar.

  • mang diz mofucker a straet up gangsta frum da street dawg smoke weed evryday yo + r.i.p big l + yo das wassup !!!!!!!!!!

  • check my shit yo

    bomb weed

    bad hoes with fat asses

    take a sec

  • @yakuza24100 ya man I love tupac and I personally believe he was the best due to the emotion and the message that he put in his songs, tupac was a poet, big l is also a poet and a lyricist focused on wordplay and punchlines. But there both one of my favorite rappers, just wished they were still alive

  • this is prob one of the only songs big l hasnt cursed in lol

  • I nearly punched someone the other day who hardly knew me and just cos im 19 thought I listened to mainstream shit prick wont accuse me of that after watching this

  • @Fireuniquedefeat And you almost hit him? chilll man.

  • @Fireuniquedefeat no doubt. alwaysbeefin kids cuz they talk shit about l

  • @YoUnGSpaCeLY92 your right but I can't respect someone industry made that has writers help with they're lyrics. You don't believe me? Look up a hit some and it'll say who wrote it and it's 3 or more people mostly lol

  • rip this nigga was a straight up goon

  • If you lookin for a specific type of rap hit me up I'll shoot you some names. I can tell you anything from 90s g funk (like n2deep), to feel good kick it rap(like Murs/p-way), to straight fuckin horrorcore (like brotha lynch hung and Mars)

  • I'll name drop a few. Mac dre (rip), brotha lynch hung, c-Bo, celly cell, rydah j klyde, Johnny ca$h aka tha fast gunna(rip), Yukmouth, messy marv, the jacka, husalah, n2deep, pretty black(rip), cougnut(rip), king freako(rip), big pun(rip),bored stiff, Murs,p-way, equipto, Andre nickatina, cellski, coolio the unda dogg and MANY more.

  • real MC's are on the rise

  • Best underground artitst: aesop rock, atmosphere, eyedea and abilities. Period. All 3 of those guys have absolutely slammin rhymes and are dope as fuck, but guys like big l, biggie, nas, wu tang, a tribe called quest, will always be the kings of hip hop

  • , r.i.p. BIG L good track

  • making some easy green, thats all they show you on the TV screen!

  • fuck that "hiphop is dead" bullshit...

  • he ruined the song at the end when he started talkin

  • street struck this nigga is 4 real this is how we live mother fucks so fuck all these new mcs thay can all suck a DICK thay all just ILLUMINATI bitches

  • DAMM HIS CAREER ENDED TO SOON ITS SAD THOU SHIT LIKE THAT GETS ME MADD

  • This is Hiphop with a message 

  • who the fuck wants to listen to kanye west and jigger jay-z keep rapping about the same arrogant bullshit? it's either boring or annoying.

  • ILL as FUCK!. Damn what a good rapper

  • Thug life

  • if anyone thinks hip hop is dead, bring so classic style and change the game. i do think music is dumbed down now, but yeah their is lots of great underground shit tho, just mainstream sucks

  • tell me why i scrolled down to see comments about this hot ass track STREET STRUCK instead of fuckin stupid ass niggas arguing about if hiphop dead or not stfu and listing to these dope ass lyrics R.i.p BIG LEGEND

  • BIG L was so ILL!... but imagine he didnt die... and suffered the same fate as canibus career has. No one would give two FUCKS about his dope ass rhymes and illness.. Kinda like that canibus dude. Its crazy so many "hiphop heads" dont know fuck all bout HIPHOP, and if a dude falls off on some mainstream bullshit. the Hiphop community disregards their previous contribution. Canibus dropped some of the ILLEST rhymes of all time. Hes still alive, show that nigga some respect before hes dead too!

  • Big L rest in peace

  • Holy shit he predicts his own death 2:57

    the bullet that killed L was for his brother, not him

  • @ImKingc0n I SAID THE SAME THING 

  • @ImKingc0n they couldnt kill him because his brother was in jail so they figured one of them is better then none

  • @ImKingc0n yo bro he doesnt predict anything he saids "It aint a dumb joke where im from you can choke on the gun smoke, stay off the corners it might be ur best plan or you could catch the bullet that was meant for the next man"

  • You all gay motherfucking faggots jumping on lil waynes dick and bitching about other rappers.

    Just shut the fuck up and listen to the song

    R.I.P Big L. One of the best rapper of all time, right next to Tupac & Biggie :)

  • Comment removed

  • Im 14 but all I listen is old school niggas now and days dont know wussup

  • actually... Hip-Hop is the culture, rap is the music ;)

    Also, don't forget that the good rap will always stay underground :)

    So I don't think "rap is dead" as you say, because it isn't, there are a lot of underground artists keeping it alive. Just chill and enjoy what these people have created, they will always live on as long as there will be people who will listen to this good stuff :D

  • '"Stay off the corners, that might be your best plan, before you catch a bullet that was meant for the next man" Big L predicting his own death. R.I.P

Do I really need to keep going?? There's evertype of skilled rapper in that list. Gangsta, club, punch line rappers, and story tellers.

  • Killmatic96 dude your 15 so I don't expect you to know shit. Hip hop ain't dead you fuckin retard. Big/PAC/ the same old played out ass niggas are all you're dumbass listens too. There are a 1000 underground rappers I can name that still be choppin it up just as hard to this day. So get off that raps dead shit homie, and quit watch so much MTV.

  • @sh4nky420 i know you aint talking to me but name 1 lol

  • @sh4nky420 mainstreams dead tho but u right bout the underground there's plenty of good artists left

  • @sh4nky420 Nigga no one will be close to big l and pac fuck those underground rappers

  • @FeaRxRippiN You're delusional G, there's mad nice rappers on L's level. Celph Titled is like the white Big L and he's definitely just as good.

    I so agree @sh4nky420, BIG and Pac were legends no doubt but there are so many rappers going just as hard these days. Cats think just cause they're dead that they're better which is bullshit, their legacy will live on but to say there aren't better rappers out there is ignorant as hell

  • @sh4nky420 when people say its dead they dont mean underground they just mean all the famous ppl fuckin suck.......but in the 90s everyone listen to real hip hop now most teen listen to shit like lil wayne tyga khalifa rick ross drake bowwow soulja boy kanye west its just hip hop is dead if you look in the lime light....- eminem pac biggie big pun big l rakim cool j ice t dmx redman they would all destry the new school rappers i named up top but somehow the newschool rapperstookoverhiphopisdead

  • @sh4nky420 hahaha word Killmatic96 is your bitch now

  • @sh4nky420 i think he means mainstream hip hop is dead because most people listen to mainstream and consider ppl like lil wayne hip hop now.. so technically in a way hip hop def isn't as good as it used to be

  • @sh4nky420 ok but you say that about underground rappers....mainstream rap is in fact dead and you cant deny that....mainstream hip hop in 90s WAS ON POINT!

  • @sh4nky420 Knowledge don't require age. Yeah I'm 16 and I know hell a lot of shit. My opinions are hip-hop isn't dead, but it doesn't seem to be like in the 90s, you know.. I listen to about 40(?) UG artists. Well, you have to produce shit to make a good living out of "hip-hop" which it is called MAINSTREAM. You can't keep it real if you're on a sell-out label. I Know hip-hop isn't about money it's about expressing yourself, but for exa. 'pac produced raw stuff yet he made mills. pce out man.

  • @sh4nky420

    AMEN to that brutha! Fair enough, the kid's got a point abt the shitty status of modern hip hop, Wayne and them lot ain't got nothing against the old Gods of hiphop, altho' their approaches are two totally different things. And I can say that even tho' I consume a lot of underground classic rap or "old school", Iäve never really listened to Big or Pac, because of that very reason you mention in your comment. Them two have been rinsed out multiple times and I want no part in it that.

  • @sh4nky420 1,000 huh? That's a lot, too much in fact. I don't believe you.

  • @peachdica just sayin'.. BTW there are still a lot of underground rappers worldwide, trust me. (I'm italian)

  • @sh4nky420 name 1000 compared to big l , pac, and biggie

  • @sh4nky420 yea it sucks that those rapers that actualy are good aint ever gonna be big because all this bullshit thats goin out now. if you like good rap listen to blood vs blood face to face

  • @sh4nky420 can you tell me some of those underground rappers so i can listen to em :DD

  • @sh4nky420 bull shit there are only a few ungerground rappers that keep it real fuckin hater there good but no one will surpass 90's music ur abviously the underage here cuz @killmatic96 knows his shit bout real hip hop so go else where if u gonna hate on classic hip hop why u even on Big L music bring that trash up in here u should get street struck

  • @KIllahRay1 Rhyme Asylum, Unusual suspects, poetic science, diabolic, COTD, Raine, Eurgh, Respek BA, ect. I have respect for Big L but any one of the people i just listed could easily out rap him and it makes sence too as rap (underground anyway) can only get better over time.

  • @sh4nky420 You get what he's saying though right? Hip-hop isn't dead but for real. All this shit nowadays is just really garbage. It's got little to no heart in it, it's just made to be made to make a quick buck or get known. It's not about being real, and having shit told how it should be, it's like they glorify such asinine things. I mean people like Big L man just told that shit. People that told stories man, Nas too, but I do see what he's saying. It's not dead just watered down.

  • @sh4nky420 Nah I'll stay listening to the "same old played out ass niggas".. & please do name some dope underground artists who you feel are going just as hard as dudes like Big , Pac, and Big L was. I would love to hear them.

  • @sh4nky420 dude fuck finally someone says something real. pac wasnt shit compared to HALF MY HOMIES. especially big L. just cause pac ran his mouth like muhammad ali everyone loved him. his shit was classic yea but theres DEFINITELY BETTER. same people say pac is the best say eminems the best too..makes me sick

  • @sh4nky420 goodlooks my dude whos your fav?

  • WHO CARES IF THE ACTUALLY HIP HOP IS SO DIFFERENT!???? WE CAN LISTEN TO OLDSCHOOL SONGS ON YOUTUBEEE!!!!!

  • @AgusxXRSs ayyy yall new muthafuckas wearin tight pants and actin like faggets dont know shit about the ol skool...dat was real hip hop!!! big l,nas,eazy muthafukkine,biggie,wu tang, smith n wesson...those were the day were even us white people were stompin on the mike yall little bitches would puke and shit ya pants if u came face to face wit L

  • @MrJuggernaut5 YEAH IM SURE THAT U ARE RIGHT , BUT I WAS BORN 2 YEARS BEFORE 2PAC DIES :S , SO I REALLY WANTED TO BE IN THE WU TANG, BIGGIE ERA,

  • listen to some underground rappers like vinnie paz, immortal technique, ra the rugged man and diabolic and then say this musics dead.

  • why does every artistic rapper which are true and had it ruff aways gets killed or die "TUPAC,EAZY-E,BIGGIE, BIG L " DOESNT MAKE SENSE something with the goverment

  • @Mrbaked100 na dude they sold thier soul's for fame.... only way to truly gain fame is to die.

  • Hip Hop isn't different, its dead. People just listen to rap, no more Hip Hop. Rap is a totally different thing and thats what people just don't understand anymore. Lil wayne and all those idiots don't know shit about what it takes to be an emcee, and only know how to sell themselves out however they can. Theres no evolution of hip hop, it can't even be considered music anymore with all this commercial bullshit. Fuck swag, and fuck all the fags that believe new school is still hip hop.

  • @Killmatic96

    It's not dead, it just went underground.

  • @Killmatic96 couldnt of said it better

  • @Killmatic96 No, "Mainstream" hip-hop is dead. Saying "fuck all the fags that think new school is still hip hop" is a statement that's coming from somone who needs to turn their radio off and do a little research. There are plenty of GREAT new school artist that have JUST as much meaning as the old hip hop artists.

  • Not much of a choice when you born bread and raise to be it dipshit. He was workin his way out just like anyone born in the slums. Just because you're mother paid you're way through life and collage don't mean the next guy's did you fuckin nerd

  • All Hail Big L and his lyrical mastery!!!

    Big L forever.....!!!!!

  • How da fuck is that funny? Life a joke to you or you just a nerd from the hills? Theres funny about being street struck homie.

  • @sh4nky420 wow it took me 20 minutes to figure out what you said... And street struck, you either choose for that or not. Simple, don't be posting random comments, if you got no clue what you are talking about.

  • @sh4nky420 You can chose to be street stuck or not.

  • True words

  • It's funny how a lot of 90s hardcore rappers make songs like this and people are still getting street struck

  • Ritin rhymes to some dope beats, L's sure one of the best in doin that!

  • lil wayne who?big l is afugging legend (harlem )!

  • @drejersey670 Why did you even mention that name in this video?

  • when my teachers and relatives ask me why i cant be in school or at home instead of hangnin all day all i tell em is, im street struck

  • this song is somber because Big L was later street struck himself.

  • I dont understand why everybody has to h8 on the newschool artist, who gives a shit. Its a matter of opinion wether or not you like drake, lil wayne ect.

    Just Shut the fuck up and enjoy the music.

  • damn the people who killed big l probably got murked now

  • Damn i miss Big L

  • Stay off the corners; that might be your best plan,

    before you catch a bullet that was meant for the next man, big l predicted his own death

  • @Dineonher Holy s**t!

  • @Dineonher only thing is it wasnt meant for the next man

  • @walheato Were you there?

  • @Dineonher nah but i doubt when someone gets shot in the face 9 times its an accident ya dig

  • @walheato plenty of websites that record his death say it was an accident, i'm going off of what everyone that wasn't actually there knows

  • @Dineonher are u high?

  • @walheato He doesn't mean somebody accidentally killed him, he's sayin' that the guy who killed him meant to kill his brother (who was in jail at the time, but was murdered 3 years later while investigating his death anyways).

  • @chosenstar16 *faggots

  • Good Shit // r.i.p. big L

  • I love how both walk and dont walk sign are both lit up, must really confuse the person trying to cross the street good song btw

  • greatest rapper ever point blank faggits

  • this is his best song!

  • "quit the cash crop and make an investment, and don't go to the grave like the rest went" fucking references 17-18th century US history and drawing upon social reproduction theory in two fucking verses. it shouldn't surprise me though...

  • how will you be stopped on felons? i'll let out heaven, my goodness, i best be repping. Other angle dust smokers, haunter, drinking holy water,

  • When Big Pun, Big L, and many others died,Hip Hop shed a tear and cried

    only a few people nowadays might bring it back, it won't sound the same but hip hop will come back ya'll, just wait for it ya'll

  • @SocrateezBlaze hard to believe with all the crap out nowadays...hip hop is dead, for good...

  • @248759ful Now, Now that is not true, it is merely sleeping. I know there are a lot of people in the industry and the mainstream hip hop that does not have the "essence" of hip hop back in the 90's and 80's, but that does not mean it is lost forever. The format of it is different, meaning beats, flow, and forms of expression, now adays, there maybe some creativity but none of the "essence" essence being having good lyrics, real shit, how you really feel, not avarice. that's what I mean

  • @SocrateezBlaze you can call it "different", I call it dead...hip hop will never be the same...shit, look at eminem...the old eminem was crazy! now he's one of the softest rapper's out there! I'm in the 10th grade and the same chicks that like justin beiber and all that shitty pop music, also like eminem...thats not right...eminem is just one example of how much hip hop is dying...it will take a miracle for hip hop to come back

  • @248759ful music is bound to change, even real music like hip hop, but that real music will always carry it's essence, we have no real music now adays, because it lacks that "essence", but people like J cole, Kendrick Lamar, Wale, Curren$y, Stalley, cool kids, Big Kritt, hopsin,MGk and many more will bring that back, now some of them may have money talk here an there, but they're still true about other things in life, like love,family,hardships, them and many more are coming up

  • @SocrateezBlaze im gonna be honest with you, I have no idea who anyone is on that list except for j cole who I persoanlly dont care for and hopsin who is actually one of my favourite artists out right now....that "essence" your talking about is what made hip hop what it is and is the reason I love it so much! if your missing that essence, than the music just isnt the same...hip hop was fine the way it was, it didnt need to change...if it aint broke dont fix it..I geuss thats just what money does

  • @SocrateezBlaze listen to z-ro and domo genisis good artists

  • @ATXFo0ty I have listened to Domo- Genesis from odd future, his great i like him, I havent listened to z-ro yet, but I'll check it out, thanks man

  • @SocrateezBlaze

    Mo city don freestyle - z-ro

  • ohh wow a comment about lil wayne getting thumps up when will it end!

  • Big L is a fuckin menace on the mic

  • I used to be street struck until i took an arrow to the knee.

  • @5100area where is that from

  • TUNE! BIG UP BIG L RIP

  • Comment removed

  • Perfect beats, and perfect flow, Big L R.I.P.

  • was cruisin through harlem bumpin this today...how many of yall can say that...and im white lol

  • Sucks that the real rappers die and lame ass pop artist like Drake and Lil Wayne remain. If Big L was still alive those guys would be flipping burgers at McDonalds cuz L woulda killed them on the Mic!

  • You guys realize this is kool aid and frozen pizza. LISTEN!!

  • @Hopoffmydong NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT MAC MILLER TAKE THAT FAGGOT SHIT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

  • @Hopoffmydong ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? mac miller stole the beat from lord finesse dumb fuck

  • "stay off the corners, that might be your best plan before you catch a bullet that was meant for the next man"

    this line is so eery since it's kinda like how big l died. caught a bullet for another who did wrong just for retaliation. just minding his own business on the street. r.i.p. to one of the most legendary.

    increase the peace!!

  • Big L, the L for Legendary

  • I remember buying this album and wanting to bump it everywhere I went

  • i still tryin to be street struck i'm thristy for money

  • One of the greatest rap songs of all time.

  • That's fucked up.. why can't the good people die like old people do in peace..

  • Comment removed

  • woooow I do not know dees!!! this reaally good!!!

  • 2:55 "stay off them corners, that might be your best plan, before you catch a bullet that was meant for the next man."

    How ironic and sad, that this is how his life ended.

  • @superustipak he died going home not chilling on the corner

    he came out 2 the store , spoke 2 a few dudes and b4 he got 2 his house was ambush

    he was off the corner

  • @MrCrow42 yeah, ironically he didn't even do anything, it was his older bro in prison who pissed off some people who found and killed L for his brother's doing, and eventually the brother died too i think

  • @spankydarko Gangstarr - moment of truth

  • shit cold R.I.P TO A TRUE LEGEND

  • FUCK i just realized ive been street struck 4 the past 14 years

  • @MrCrow42 i kno tha feelin

  • @AmannequinDream

    4 real bro i feel so wack like ive been a zombie and now thinking 4 1 self

  • I don't give a fuck if your white, black, brown, yellow , orange, purple.. anyone can relate to this masterpiece . if someone links me a song more deep and proper than this i will go jump off my building. r.i.p |_

  • @spankydarko

    THE WORLD IS YOURS (NAS)

  • Sad how niggas now can't rap,jus repeat the same word in everyline n the true kings n wilddum niggas parished

  • lil wayne is scared to die because big pun, 2pac, notorious, L, and eazy are waiting to confront him :)

  • @yankeefan369 didnt lilwayne shoot himself in the leg or foot or something?Ehh he's a faggot.Was he trying to prove something.Most likely.

  • @shitisreal92 actually he was like 8 an he shot himself in the chest with his moms 9

  • @yankeefan369 you forgot ice

  • SICKK ASS SONG!

  • Man... its sad this foos homie shot and killed him on the street.. and on top of that he pumped slugs into his face so it wouldnt be an open casket...

  • @THExViCExSHOW word real talk i knew someone who told me what happened. he did time with the dude that killed him and shit was not over his big bro like many people think. Truth is Big L lived some of his words and im not about 2 put his biz out there. But if u ever lived in a low income area and know about what a REP means then u know where im going with this
