Big L's 10 Greatest Songs
FUSE TV - Big L's 10 Greatest Songs
Thirteen years ago today, Big L, widely regarded as one of the best and most creative rappers to ever do it, was gunned down outside a Harlem apartment. Even if you don't know his name, you know his style, as the rapper's mastery of multisyllabic words and stand up comic-level punchlines influenced everyone from Eminem to Jay-Z to Mac Miller (the latter recently showed off his new tattoo dedicated to the rapper).
It's a testament to the rapper's skill that despite only releasing one proper album (followed by the inevitable string of posthumous releases), Big L's legacy has been felt for years. Here are 10 tracks to get you started, but if you need more background music, we've got a full Tribute Playlist up on our Spotify app.
10. "Flamboyant"
Named after his company Flamboyant Entertainment, this track from the rapper's posthumous album The Big Picture sees L working the multi-syllabics, surprising you "like a blind date/L rhyme great/And I'm a increase the crime rate for old time's sake."
