[ASAPMartin12]

R.I.P. Big L

[GiddyRidi]

Preem couldn't have came more correct, he couldn't be more right. If he was alive today he would have dat Pac & Biggie status no doubt!

n dat duwde is right, Big L is the PLK, i like banks, but Big L is undoubtedly THEE PLK!

[ILoveMarkWahlberg]

3 people buggin out and listenin to drake.

[Matt777shxt]

PAUSE! You got drake ft. trey songs playing in the background? What the actual fuck?

[MrCommenterguy]

@TaLLiEsALLEY not true tbh. L didn't bring Jay Z into the game or nothing like that. Jigga had his own record label, L wanted to sign to it.

[DAHAV999]

1:22 when he starts rappin goes perfect with the beat lol

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

Health is Wealth.

[futuredapope]

real shit right here......BIG L my nigga for real.........club 2000 in 93 had it poppin

[djdoggpound]

R.I.P big L

[RCBeker]

big L is the best rapper of all time , period

[eliaelish13]

what's that beat in the background throughout the whole video?

someone know?

[LDeep843]

@eliaelish13 Successful by Drake

[manhbx96]

BIG L would have been a slaughterhouse

[voidenter]

@xIlovemoney amazing. yea i know, i see people like that. most get no where.

risking 25 to life for??? some petty drug money?? gotta set your sights bigger.

straight up hit men also never see bigger picture. what is it really worth to your client?

people are so stupid, i can see why the people in charge wanna kill us all. then again they set all the wheels in motion to begin with so, new era new times. grab guns, trust no one, advance mankind. bulletproof clothes etc.

[voidenter]

@xIlovemoney wow that sucks. they dont look that similar tho.

[Scott19seventy5]

If you look at it on Google Earth it's so sad. They have a bunch of trash piled up in front of it.

[OfficalRap]

BIG L FOREVER. MISS U HOMIE !!!

[voidenter]

who shot big L and why?

[SlimSmitty88]

@voidenter Big L was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in his hometown of Harlem...

[SlimSmitty88]

@SlimSmitty88 Prolly because of some beef his older brothers had.. Big Lee his older brother was killed 3 years later in the same hood because he was looking for answers

[voidenter]

@SlimSmitty88 Does anyone know why? Did any one do an investigation?

I once heard it had something to do with his brother? owing money?

[cecemami]

The realest r.i.p

[BboyAdflicto]

It brings me to tears whenever i watch this video, especially the mcgruff part, he is so sad when speaking about him...

[jayd4ever]

RIP

[BboyAdflicto]

McGruff: You can ask anybody from Eminem,all the real lyricists,they will tell u about my boy ... TRUE

[UberDrapion]

Thanks Big L. You really spoke to me man. R.I.P

[FortMinorsBiggestFan]

shit man im moving to Harlem and away from this incompetent lil wayne fanbase.

[OfficalRap]

Fuck this wack ass south music, il be bang'in out Big L tracks till my last breath, the brother was dope.

[mrstrishfloyd]

i  miis u big homie...sks

[TaLLiEsALLEY]

only thing i don't like about this video is at around 2:05 the guy talks about Big L catching Jay Zs attention...but its actually the opposite, Jay Z was like one of Big L's little homies that just went mainstream and blew up especially after NOTORIOUS BIG died.... JAYZ blew up before BIG L, if your talking mainstream, but JAYZ was always someone who looked up to Big L if you do your research. just sayin

[nvme2ok]

@TaLLiEsALLEY Hi ironic Big L gets shot one week before he signs on to JZ's label! WTF???Mighty fishy to Me!

[LCttack71]

It was sick how when Mcgruff was saying his fav Big L line he was flowing with the beat in the back

[huttermania]

Big L was the TRUE PunchLineKing. Always imitated, but Never duplicated.

[ianu135]

DAMN LORD FINESSE GOT FAT YO WTF

[TheMcmillionator]

(including slavery)

[BrevikMan]

[Bayfotter]

peace to Herb Mcgruff. R.I.P L

[YoungKnoccOut]

if PAC BIGGIE and L were alive wayne would be shot dead due to his promotion djs tired of his annoying high pitched rhymes, drake would be in twillight or I carly,

nicki manaj would be my " Happy Ending" assistance, Baby would have just died of natural causes , and and hip hop

[Tomas1morales]

[TheSeven45]

You know nuttin about L, so don't doubt L What's this motherfuckin rap game without L? Yo, that's like jewels without ice That's like china without rice Or the Holy Bible without Christ Or the Bulls without Mike Or crackheads without pipes The Village without dykes Or hockey games without fights Don't touch the mic if you unable to spit Flamboyant is the label I'm with R.I.P Big L

[190dennis190]

@Tmathh

Most real just die today.. mainstream makes you or takes you..

[Jake8864]

[WARSHIPSATIN999]

"Why y'all test, knowin these hot slugs will fry y'all flesh? Taxin' faggots like the I-R-S. I used to front, but now i'm really rich you silly bitch. Push willy whips, like the white Volvo. Front on Corleone ya life's over. I bought my main girl the ice choker, catch her cheatin an I might smoke her. I make the right words blend, pimp these hoes like i'm Iceberg Slim.

[Logicalpsycho2323]

MUTHAFUCK commercial rappers

[tescave]

BIG L rest in peace !!!

[CatchYourSoul]

Fuck Drake, Gain Green , Free MaX B, R.I.P BIG L

[dozz87]

He wouldn't be regarded as the greatest MC of all time had he stayed alive. But that isn't because he wasn't the meanest lyricist, its because to be regarded as the "king of Hip Hop" (Jay-Z) you HAVE to sell out and make pop tunes. If Big L was still alive today he would be regarded as a legend to true hip hop fans, but I doubt he would have got mass media attention like people like 50 Bent and Lil Lame.

[LankyGarry]

@dozz87 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[armandoam1]

to tell you guys the truth i think if bigl was still alive he would do underground tracks or either would have sold out because nas kinda sold out and krs one went underground i think hip hop would have still been the same

[MOSDEFemcees]

@armandoam1 Who cares if he would have been as commercially known as most "radio rappers". If he was alive he would have put out more albums, that's whats important to me.

[BIGGZMUSICTV]

i chill ova there every weekend

[tyus29]

real shyt i hope harlem blows up if u a rapper from harlem u better not let L down!

[mobspeak]

R.I.P

[DCP1292]

DJ Premier is a legend too. Damn. Legends all over there. Do you know what id get to see all these guys.

[BluntSm0kin]

@DCP1292 you'd suck some fat dick just to meet these guys ....haha

[MOSDEFemcees]

@BluntSm0kin At least he's not sucking some fat dick to pay for his internet like you ....haha

[itsinthegameAI]

R.I.P he was ahead of his time , just fount out he was in my country (Croatia) anyone know when? where?

[sebas1104323]

stop it at 2:11 and premier looks funny

[KingMvz]

Man, thts fujckd up if u think abt it, Lord Finesse basically took dude in, he died @ n early age\, imagine if L was still alive

[juswolf22]

jay-z got lucky as fuck wit the passing of biggie, but extremely lucky wit the passing of big l

[gekid0]

@juswolf22 big L was about to get signed to jay-z's label 2 weeks after he died apparently. if thats true, with all due respect i reckon he would have sold out.

[juswolf22]

@gekid0 The only thing that would have changed would be the 0's on that check....big l was already rapping about the money, hoes, and finer things....he wanted to get out the hood what can you expect?

[MOSDEFemcees]

@gekid0 Nah Big L talked about how much he hated rappers that would go soft and sell out and he also hated the jiggy to jiggy pop like rap. I dont think he would have sold out but, who knows.

[sfgiantsince86]

@MOSDEFemcees back in the early 90s fat joe wasnt feelin the commercial shit either, and look where he went! but it's hard to speak on where Big L would have went, for he passed before his time..

[XxBostonCelticsxX]

@sfgiantsince86

fat joe fuckin sucks never compare him to big l again

[sfgiantsince86]

@XxBostonCelticsxX uhhh, how in da hell did i compare L to Fat Joe? please tell me, cuz it seems you did not comprehend with my wordz very well. and u know fat joe has been around since the late 80s, right? and that he did some real dope records up to the late 90s. do ya homework, mayn..

[XxBostonCelticsxX]

@sfgiantsince86 you said fat joe wasnt commercial and then he went commercial then you said big l probably coulda done the same thing so ya you used fat joe as an example for what big l might have done

[gekid0]

@MOSDEFemcees He was about to hook up with rocafella b4 he died, you should know how shit works with jay-z lol....

[Nomis2779]

@MOSDEFemcees The game has changed man.Nobody is really doing that 'street' shit rappers were doing in the 90's.Everybody has changed it up,I don't care who you are.If Big L was alive I can guarantee you he would have had to change it up a little bit.Hip-hop isn't the same anymore and the industry is at fault.Rappers got to eat too and they have to change it up a little to pay the bills.That street shit is done.

[dgkpictures]

@Nomis2779

Just wait until I bring that shit back up, buddy.

[xoKIMBERLY23]

Big L was & still is theGreatestEVER!

No doubt about that. Drake shit killed theWhole video!! -.-

[bRoc4200]

big L and big pun possesed some nigga named joell ortiz check out his freestyle on dj enuff the b side. It will put a smile on your face if your a big l fan

[XxBostonCelticsxX]

@bRoc4200

he read the "freestyle" off his phone =/

[bRoc4200]

@XxBostonCelticsxX so?? do you think the 98 freestyle was seriously off the dome?

not a chance in hell

[XxBostonCelticsxX]

@bRoc4200

did i say that? no didnt think so if you have to read 16 bars off a fuckin phone youre not an MC and should probably find a new career

[bRoc4200]

@XxBostonCelticsxX hey if you wanna dissmiss hot bars over some stupid shit your the one missing out on good music dude is probally top 3 MC's releasing material today and i made that off the dome comment because you put quotes around "freestyle" look up kanes definition of freestyle

[XxBostonCelticsxX]

@bRoc4200 i listen to joel ortiz but its still sad that he had to read it off a phone

[Forty1Second]

L is still one of THE best to ever touch a mic!

RIP to BIG L a real MC

[uberdance]

and mad hoes ask bevis i get nothing but head

one of the many great lines big l spit natural as the sunshine r.i.p man
