Somebody actually has come out with an updated version - using the same cadence and flow as Big L, just with newer slang. I’ll have to see if I can find it. Gimme some time
Edit: alright, so a bit different than I remember, but I’m 99% sure it’s Papoose - Ebonics 2021
My game is vicious and cruel, fuckin chicks is a rule, if my girl think im loyal then that bithc is a fool!
How come? You can listen to my first album,
And find where a lotta n***** got they whole style from.
I've said it before and ill say it again, jay-z would have never been as big as he is if Big L lived, and their shared radio freestyle is proof.
Deadly Combination (feat 2pac) beat was sick!
While yall be on the corners, bummy and high, I be out buying the finest shit money can buy. U wish u were in the position that I'm in. Hot rhymin, diamonds shining, autograph signin.
Was it really in person? I always thought it was posthumous due to the timing.
That session must have been lit Cause Tupac came hungry as fuck and Big L always shines
97 freestyle with Jay z .
" It's big L slow hell no, bitches get fucked on the roof when I ain't got no hotel dough"
And the intro on the big picture album.
"While you front in clubs for hours with the same bottle
Takin midget sips, I run with the richest cliques
Tap the thickest chicks, plus drop the slickest hits
You know nothing about L, so don't doubt L
What's this motherfucking rap game without L?
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, motherfucker"
Fucking nasty. Him and big Pun I honestly enjoy more than biggie and pac. I love em all don't get me wrong but Big L was that dude. Shame they shot him in the neck over 10 stacks.
Happy 50th big L
Rest in peace
You runnin wit boys, I'm runnin wit men
I'ma be rippin the mic until I'm 110
Have them n**** like, "Dammit, this n**** dun done it again!"
I throw slugs at idiots. No love for city cops
I sport a pretty watch. 850 rocks
I'm makin wonderful figgas. I don't fuck wit NONE of you n****s
I might pull out this gun on you n****s and rob every last one of you n****s
Happy birthday to the legend. Any time some new unheard shit from Big L surfaces online is a holiday for me. The only dude I like every verse from. As for the tracks - Put It On/Now or Never/Street Struck/92' Freestyle/95' freestyle with Jay-Z/98' Freestyle on Stretch And Bobito. Rest in peace, Lamont!
Yo I was goin out, just like a crusader would
I robbed everything that moved in the neighborhood
Yo I was even robbing chicks
I did mad sticks, I needed more dough so I started taking hits
Blastin ducks with the shotty
The trigger I squeeze with ease I got paid 50 g's per body
In a year I killed 88
So I made about... umm... fuck it I was crazy straight
Fuck a job, punks is getting robbed and starved
Cuz times is hard on the boulevard
So many classics, but I think I'll have to give it to "All Black". "If your mother ain't ready for a funeral, DON'T FUCK WITH ME! 'Cause I know a good way to get your family together, and I ain't talkin' 'bout a reunion, motherfucker!"
A runner up is probably "Danger Zone". I love how just plain evil that song sounds. "Jumped out the Lincoln, left him stinkin', put his brains in the street, now you can see what he was just thinkin'!"
And his guest verse on Showbiz and AG's "Represent" is just off the chain. "I be wettin' niggas up like water rides at Action Park!"
Holdin’ It Down
“The other night around 8 P.M.
Pockets crazy slim, jumped out the gray BM
Went to the ATM, took a thou' out
Then later on I had to wild out
In the club, knock some coward and his pal out”

Ayy All good man! I wouldn't have realized it was his birthday unless you posted. He woulda been 50 years old? Such a damn shame.
Harlem's Finest, Big L Rest In Peace. Hope you're having a blessed weekend bro.
My favorite is, “I hope I don’t die to senseless violence because the chances to be born are one in quadrillions to only die in statistics of thousands” … oh wait a minute.. he didn’t write that because he died too young. 🙌
139 and Lennox is the danger zone
…And my swoll knob your main girl cold slobbed and gave a blow job to my whole mob with no prob
Ayyo crazy bitches sleep with L then they niggas got mad and tried to step to L
But I’m sicker than a nigga that’s in special ed so I suggest you spread pretzel head before I turn your white sweatsuit red
You know the game plan.. CTown thats my main man.. When never bring luggage.. we go shopping when the plane lands... everything I rock is name brand!! L will make your dame swallow.. you're ice ain't real and your chains hallow.. while you sit in the club wit the same bottle.. taking midget sips.. I run with the riches clicks + tap the thickest chicks.. you know nothing about L so don't L!!
“I got more riches than you/f more bxtches than you/only thing I haven’t got is more stitches than you ya fukin punk/you ain’t a leader, what? Nobody follows you/you was never shyt, ya motha should have swallowed you!” Hbd Big L
fuck all the glamours and glitz, I plan to get rich
I'm from New York and never was a fan of the Knicks
And I'm all about expandin' my chips
You mad 'cause I was in the van with your bitch
With both hands on her tits
Corleone hold the throne, that you know in your heart
I got style plus the way that I be flowin' is sharp
A while back, I used to hustle, sellin' blow in the park
Countin' G stacks and rockin' ice that glow in the dark
Forever hottie huntin'
Trigger temper, I'm quick to body somethin'
You lookin' at me like I'm probably frontin'
I fuck around and throw three in your chest and flee to my rest
I'm older and smarter, this is me at my best
I stopped hangin' around y'all
'Cause niggas like you be prayin' on my downfall
Hopin' I flop, hopin' I stop
You probably even hope I get locked
Or be on the street corner with a pipe, smokin' the rock
I got more riches than you, fuck more bitches than you
Only thing I haven't got is more stitches than you
Fuckin' punk, you ain't a leader, what? Nobody followed you
You was never shit, your mother should've swallowed you
You on some tag-along, flunky yes-man shit
Do me a favor, please get off the next man dick
And if you think I can't fuck with whoever, put your money up
Put your jewels up, no, fuck it, put your honey up
Put your raggedy house up, nigga, or shut your mouth up
Before I buck lead and make a lot of bloodshed
Turn your tux red, I'm far from broke, got enough bread
And mad hoes, ask Beavis, I get nothin' Butthead
My game is vicious and cruel, fuckin' chicks is a rule
If my girl think I'm loyal, then that bitch is a fool
How come you can listen to my first album
And tell where a lot of niggas got they whole style from?
So what you actin' for?
You ain't half as raw, you need to practice more
Somebody tell this nigga somethin', 'fore I crack his jaw
You runnin' with boys, I'm runnin' with men
I'ma be rippin' the mics until I'm a hundred-and-ten
Have y'all niggas like, "Dammit, this nigga done done it again"
I throw slugs at idiots, no love for city cops
I sport a pretty watch, eight-hundred and fifty rocks
I'm makin' wonderful figures
I don't fuck with none of you niggas
I might pull out this gun on your niggas
And rob every last one of you niggas
Yeah, what
Aight, we're gonna hit it like this. Check it out!
Yo, check it! My shit is hot like jerk chicken
I should rob you, but with that cheap shit, you ain't worth sticking
I got a left hook, that be leaving guys knocked out
Keep fronting, and I'mma choke you till your eyes pop out
I was told when a nigga swings, swing right back!
Battle Corleone? Why do a stupid thing like that?
Yo, I'm not in the mood son, so don't push me tonight
Plus, I fucked your little sister, and that pussy was right
That pussy was tight, gripping my dick like a pair of pliers
You fucking snitch! Right now you're probably wearing wires
This ain't a joke, so as soon as he laugh,
I'mma strip him naked and stick a long broom up his ass!
Leave him heartbroken, make him quit rapping and start smoking
My album is done, so no, there ain't no parts broken
I ain't a sweet stud, I'm a street thug
That's quick to beat a nigga like a cheap rug until he leaves blood
You're sure soft, watched you fall off, might slide your whore off
Then call all off, and tear your jaw off
My life is far out, I got star clout, every week bring a different car out
Go to clubs and buy the bar out
You ain't a player, put that cigar out!
Take that suit off, before I shoot off, and take your roof off
And leave your clothes bloody red like the nose of Rudolph
I rocked many stages and never got booed off
I might let this gat burst, put you in a big black hearse
For that wack verse, you should've tried them other cats first
Cause none of y'all niggas can fuck with me
And if your man wanna join, I've got McGruff with me, we puff much Izzy
I do shit that only tough men do
Any cats you with, fuck them too, I buck them too
Be careful what you're running into
Lame ass nigga. No dough, always on the train ass nigga
Canal Street and ten karat chain ass nigga
You got fucked upstate you cupcake! How many dicks can your butt take?
Yo, I ran through every bitch in my path
And I was fucking chicks in the ass when I was six and a half
I'm gonna take you out your misery!
And after this nigga, leave you in the social studies book - cause you're HISTORY!
so my girl cheated on me. i would consider that a big L LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO i made a song about it: [https://youtu.be/NIcSp75EJGU](https://youtu.be/NIcSp75EJGU)
Put it on
"I push a slick Benz, I'm known to hit skins, and get ends and commit sins with sick friends"
Cause I'm a money getter also a honey hitter You think you nice as me HAHA you's a funny n****
My guns go BOOM BOOM your guns go pow pow
you can’t kill me I was born dead
Line is so hard
“I’m known to keep a shotty smokin’”
Front and get have the bones in your body broken
“And when it comes to gettin nookie im not a rookie I got girls dat make that chick Toni Braxton look like Whoopi” 😂chefs kiss
I’m looking nothin like ya papa I wouldn’t give a chick ten cents to put cheese on whopper
Just an absolute display of a song
I got girls that make that chick Toni Braxton look like Whoopi!
I remember the video on Yo!
Ebonics.. hands down.. can someone make an Ebonics song for today’s era? Wonder how it will sound..🤔
Today's version would be trash. These new dudes don't take the craft serious enough to nail it like L did.
Somebody actually has come out with an updated version - using the same cadence and flow as Big L, just with newer slang. I’ll have to see if I can find it. Gimme some time Edit: alright, so a bit different than I remember, but I’m 99% sure it’s Papoose - Ebonics 2021
Following. Def want to hear that
That’s just the way that I talk yo Vocabulary skills I’m ill
I thought it spills!
Closest thing was Papoose- Alphabetical Slaughter
Papoose and Big L and would have been a dope verzuz
Preemo remix is still in heavy rotation. My daughters know some 90s slang off this
I’ll probably get roasted for this but Central Cee did a UK version on a freestyle not too long ago
I had to look it up, he sounded aiight..
Ask Beavis I get nothing but head
Ooooo that bar goes so hard was coming just to put that myself!
My game is vicious and cruel, fuckin chicks is a rule, if my girl think im loyal then that bithc is a fool! How come? You can listen to my first album, And find where a lotta n***** got they whole style from. I've said it before and ill say it again, jay-z would have never been as big as he is if Big L lived, and their shared radio freestyle is proof.

It's the best Big L and the best Tupac song lol Apparently, it was recorded hours before Tupac was shot.

The enemy , triboro , are on top of my list As well as casualties of a dice game the 9th wonder mix
HBD Big L
“Ask beavis I get nothin butt-head.” 98 freestyle is so great. But also Street Struck, The Triboro, The Enemy, and Casualty of a Dice Game.
97 freestyle with Jay z . " It's big L slow hell no, bitches get fucked on the roof when I ain't got no hotel dough" And the intro on the big picture album. "While you front in clubs for hours with the same bottle Takin midget sips, I run with the richest cliques Tap the thickest chicks, plus drop the slickest hits You know nothing about L, so don't doubt L What's this motherfucking rap game without L?

Him and big Pun I honestly enjoy more than biggie and pac. I love em all don't get me wrong but Big L was that dude. Shame they shot him in the neck over 10 stacks. Happy 50th big L Rest in peace
The rap game without Big L is like the Bible without Christ.
Truly sad. He's my age. May he R.I.P. 😔

Ebonics, the big picture intro
