    Big L

    Lyrics: L
    Flow: Tied
    Delivery: Jay


    Both did the damn thing but im going with L on this


    Big L is the ? you expect
    To catch wreck in any cassette deck
    I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet
    I'm feeling like Billy Bathgate
    My rap style is past great
    I love to ? a ? from the back and watch her ass shake

    Coleman was killed in the doorway of 45 West 139th Street in Harlem on February 15, 1999 after being shot nine times in the face and chest.[34][35][36] Gerard Woodley, one of Coleman's childhood friends, was arrested in May for the crime.[37] At the time of his death, Coleman had two brothers in prison. "It's a good possibility it was retaliation for something [Big L's] brother did, or [Woodley] believed he had done," said a spokesperson for the NYPD.[38] Woodley was later released, and the murder case remains unsolved.[39]
    In a 2010 interview with Donald Phinazee, he commented on what led up to the death of Big L
    There was something that went down with a dude out here with my middle brother, "Big Lee", and, uh, Lee went upstate for five years. [...] It was a little problem like I just said, "divide and conqueror" with the fellas between all of us, and, uh, [Lee] went upstate, then I went upstate, and then [Lee] sent word to do something [to someone]. He sent word to somebody else to do something, but Lamont went with him, which Lamont shouldn't have went with him. [...] It didn't go down the way it was supposed to have went down and they seen Lamont face. [...] So, uh, both of us is gone, and [Lamont] was out here by hisself. And so you can't get one brother, you get the other one. That's it in a nutshell.
    —Donald Phinazee, [31]

    Everytime I see this comparison I'm like...

    Were we listening to the same joint? L bodied Jay on this only way you could say Jay held his own on that beat, is if you take L off and put Shea Davis in his spot.
    It's a pity the way I'm ripping rugged rhythm through the city

    It's CLEARLY Big L, but Jay did his numbers, he had some genius bars in there like that racing track line.

    Hov's my man, and I'm not a huge Big L fan like a lot of folks, but Big L took this one. Now on the 13 minute COC freestyle, who had the best verse? I go with Ma$e's second or Cam's second, but L rocked that ? .

    Jay got his ass kicked cause he ran out of material

    When they didnt cut off the beat after the first rounds he was like "Oh we keep goin?"

    Sounding all scared and ? . You could tell he knew it was a wrap then

    Jay SLAUGHTERED him the first verse and Big L took the 2nd verse because Jay sounded like he was struggling.

    Lyrics: JayZ- 1st round, Big L- 2nd round
    Flow: JayZ both rounds

    Jay is better artist and lyricist than L

    But he should have zero votes.
