Just bought the above album and am reacquainting myself with Lamont Coleman (R.I.P). SO far these quotes stick in my mind:

"I got juice like boco, mad crews I broke through
n*ggas be getting mad cause I hit more chicks than they spoke to"

"Battles I lose none I make crews run
I get fools done, got ten fingers but only use one"

"I was taught wise, I´m known to extort guys
This ain´t Cali, it´s Harlem n*gga we do walkbys"

"Cause on the shelf is where your LP cold stood
Because it was no good, that sh*t ain´t even go wood"


Think "Street Struck" was MADD Nice

Dont forget: "I got girls that make that chick Toni Braxton look like Whoopi"

L was ill with the lyrics. Used to be down with Jay Z, McGruff & Ma$e..wonder if he would have changed the game the way some of his peers did.

Was always a sharp one, very slick indeed...

I used to wait until it gets dark
And tell a nigga to strip, I wanna see some birthmarks

<---------- self proclaimed Big L biggest Fan RIGHT HERE!!!
there´ll NEVER be an emcee as vicious n raw let alone too niiice with tha flow as L NEVER!
tho i beleive that, had he stayed alive, dude was most probably gonna sell out some of that Ruggedness for some of that MTV pape, he was never shy to proclaim his luv for big dough in his rhymes, just look at the some of the cats he hung with (Ma$e, Cameron, Jay Z n´em... whatever happened to Mc Gruff tho´?)

more quotables:

"my old man in the past, stuck me up without a mask
then his a** cold dashed with my cash fast
50 G´s is what the creep stole; so the next day
knocked on his door n shot granny thru the peephole"


that album is a str8 out underated Hiphop cla**ic
no doubt




Control minds with fairly common alien technocracy
We laugh at ur misguided principals n prophecies
My species shapeshift, take on the form of an Earthling
If I fail to return back home, aler

another thing, i once heard argued that Big L could easily be considered as the founder of the Horrokore style o´ Rap, dude was spittin super graphic gory shit at a time where a new guy called Snoop Doggy Dogg was considered shocking...
anybody that´s heard that Devil´s Son joint´ll know what i´m talkin about...
Now how many cats do u know have had their very first single banned?
the argument was that it´s either him or Cage, who apparently had already started makin a buzz in the underground, at round about the same era... anybody knows more about this? holla


The Devil´s Son:

Ayo Showbiz, I had this bugged out dream last night that I
was the Devil´s son, B, I was doing some ill shit...

  "When I was 12, I went to hell for snuffing Jesus" (Repeat 3x)
   "I´m waving automatic guns at nuns"

L´s a rebel, on a higher level, go get a shovel
Cause I´m the only son of the motherphucking devil
It´s a fact I´m living foul, black
Niggas should have known I was sick from the shit I did a while back
Cause being bad I couldn´t stop
When I was in pre-school, I beat a kid to death with a wooden block
F@ggot niggas I was back slapping
I realized that every time I got mad something bad happened
A nigga hit me with a can of beer, then he ran in fear
Later they found him hanging from a chandelier
Enemies I be bucking quick
My moms know who I am because she know who she was phucking with
On my skull the 666, no tricks
When I catch fits, my mom picks up the crucifix
And I kill chumps for the cheapest price
I´m rolling with Satan, not Jesus Christ
Enemies I got several done
Big L straight from hell, the motherf***ing Devil´s Son

  "When I was 12, I went to hell for snuffing Jesus" (Repeat 3x)
   "I´m waving automatic guns at nuns"

It´s Big L and I´m all about taking funds
I´m a stone villian known for killing and raping nuns
Ayo I even kill handicapped and crippled b!tches
Look at my scalp real close and you´ll see triple sixes
There´s no doubt I´m all about a dollar
I just signed a lifetime contract with the funeral parlor
This kid that owed me dough, I didn´t take his life
Instead I tied him up and made him watch me rape his wife
One nigga cold tried to diss me and that shit is risky
The nigga took a swung but he missed me
So I popped off mad chunks not junk
I spit in his motherphucking face and then walked off
Once a hottie shot me with a shottie
I died but then I came back to life in another body
The way I´m living is dead wrong
I´m a devil from Hell without the tail or the red horns
Killing is fun, I´m #1 with a gun
Front and get done, cause you can´t run from the Devil´s Son

  "When I was 12, I went to hell for snuffing Jesus" (Repeat 3x)
   "I´m waving automatic guns at nuns"

The Big L is strictly gunplay
I run through church and pistol-whip the priest every Sunday
Once I put out the crazy order
I sent niggas to kill Tone, his mom, and his baby daughter
I´m living up to my extortion image
I be stalking Lennox, catching more bodies than abortion clinics
A kid tried to take L out
Shot me with a tech, I just laughed and spit the shell out
Next I took his gun then he dropped to his knees
With ease I made him freeze, he begged me please not to squeeze
But I ain´t the type to bust, I just sniped a bus
Gunclap *bang* Another nigga bites the dust
Shorts I´m taking none
Misbehave and get sent to the grave by the Devil´s Son

Word, Big L the motherf***ing Devil´s Son is definitely in effect
Giving a shout out to all the murderers, thieves, armed robbers
Serial killers, phychos, lunatics, crackheads, mental patients
Mental retards, and a special shoutout to all the niggas with AIDS, peace

  "When I was 12, I went to hell for snuffing Jesus" (Repeat 3x)
   "I´m waving automatic guns at nuns"


... not what u wanna play for ur moms

And the ironic thing is that even with all the violence Big L spit he did not have ANY criminal record.
Yeah, his brother Lee was a murderer but it seems like BigL never hurt a fly in his life.

I´ll be first to admit I never gave the dude his due props while he was alive.

His murder was senseless.  

Rest in Peace L.

Word is he was murdered over some ish that his aforementioned brother Lee got caught up in...

SHitty thing was that it happened right on that corner that he always rapped about 139/Lennox "Tha Dangerzone"..
Freaky how prophetic his rhymes were to his ultimate fate...

"Lifestyles ov da Poor & Dangerous" a nineties hip hop cla**ic in the same league as the greater reveared "Illmatic" if ya ask me.

"I´ll kill my own mutha with a shovel like Norman Bates did" ~It dont get more Horror-Core than that.
