    Cosign BIG L too, dude drop a mediocre debut and died then all of a sudden he is a legend. Like he wouldn't be Joe Budden status at worst or Jadakiss status at best.

    As for his style, he basically took Lord Finesse style and ran with it.

    before you neg rep, look at his subject matter. There isn't a whole lot of diversity.

    Ironic considering his Debut had all the topics a MC can touch on...

    Your every posts seems a bit hypersensitive...

    Hell I agree that one of my favorites is overrated if you let the fanatics tell it pac could walk on water heal the sick sick move mountains with his voice and was about to make the government crumble from his mere existance. That said no one is beyond reproach and could pac have made serious impacts? yes of course he could have. Was he is the new mesiah? I Highly doubt it...

    He was referring to Pun though...

    LMFBAO I know he was talking about Big Pun I was using a comparative example meaning I get that Pun is one of his favorites(not one of mine to each there own)thus the reasonfor such a adamant defense, I used an example of one of my favorites Pac who is also overrated. Point of it being you can be a fan and be objective and realistic acknowledging weak points faults and overrating with out getting hypersensitive...

    I am tired of debating this with people who never have anything of value to say. Unless you can explain why he is anything except mediocre, I am not concerned with your retort. Thank you my kind sir.

    Exactly! I still find it hard to believe that some people still don't know who Big L is. He is one of the greatest rappers of all time.

    Come on gangstas paradise is comparable to tootsie roll??? It was an amazing song at the time very potent and rightfully won the grammy. But he became stagnant at that point he reached a pinacle and never matched or came close to it again, noone I have ever heard of rated him a top tier rapper just acknowledged he put together a dope song(He did have a couple of smaller bangers before that)...

    Well if you don't explain why he is mediocre, how is it possible that I can give you my retort?? Tell me why you feel he is overrated and I will tell you why I think you are wrong.
