Big 'L' was one of the First Noticable Rappers to have an Original''Flow'' out of Harlem New York.He was Yet another Rap Casualty however, of a bullet,Before he was about to shine in a Major way.Whats Totally Unique about big L, is His Rhyme's are as Relevent today as was When he was Killed.Not because things Haven't changed much,But because he was Way ahead of his time.His Work is Particularly sensative,and Introspective of The Urban Life,Style. Most 'Male ' rappers today don't seem to have that Insight,and Peceptive eye or Talent.


 Fo Big  BIG L

From The Dusty ,Dusky, Downtrodden Tenements



He made mad Flava

Spittin words

The Ghetto Savior

He Gave Harlem a New Image . A new Beginning

From Sun up to Sundown Till They Laid him Down

But the Old ways the ‘’Back in The Day ways’’



Jealous Hater days. .’’Pre’’Black Liberation Days

Took his Breath ,not able to Breath, his stories,

His Ghetto Glory’s.

From Sun up to Sundown



Till they Laid him Down.

His Last Verse was ‘’Senseless Death’’

The Final Put Down,

Diss, Dis-grace



Dirt thrown on his Meter an Rhyme

No Time

Flesh an Bone

No musical Tone.



Verse an Youth

Buried Deep Down

now You can’t hear a Sound

Even if you keep your ear to the Ground.
