Big L is some dust head music

Niggas still anti west coast in 2024 crine

I’m so ahead of my time my parents haven’t met yet.

Yes Big L had good punchlines and bars, but he recycled his material over and over and only had like 40 songs total, if that.

Calling him a top lyricist is lazy

Life After Death and Reasonable Doubt is the bar. And KRS One is the goat. Tribe and Kanye first 5 for production and Outkast. And Stevie and Princr if we going back

But really I do like gkmc and TPAB a lot. I just think there’s some things you could say with hindsight could be a little better possibly so they feel like 9.5s to me. Me criticizing s***, even if i seem harsh sometimes, isn’t a signal of me not liking it usually

West Coast produce the best music aside from the UK no bs

Love the album but did he really have to put the poem on EVERY song?

These Walls has that s*** twice

What’s this thread even about now lol

Every time I plot a return I seem to shift the game, see I can still talk keys without pitching caine

The whole middle of the ocean

My brother told me I’m the best he ever heard , he bias as f***, blood thicker than water, nigga his iron is up, and if you keep eyeing me down, trust me his iron is up

Roxx a do em filthy for me soon as I give him the nod. Meaning he’ll blast for me, like putting the 6 with the God.

yeah that’s what im saying lol, he was a decent storyteller too but like he isn’t on Kendrick’s level let alone someone like Pac or Biggie either

Yall just said my list is d*** riding for new york/east cost rap. What are you talking about gang?

Best thing he ever did was wash Jay Z on that 7 minute freestyle and that’s only because he wrote his verse and Jay was actually freestyling

Weak bars

See how easy that is?

I can't imagine thinking Kendrick is better than Big L

You’re blatantly anti west coast

That doesn’t make you cool gang

I'm real
I'm real
I'm really really real

This post is a big L

This s*** was crazy

It unfolds though and at least there’s usually some musical transitions or other stuff happening. I honestly prefer that over the long gkmc skits of just talking

This is Kendrick when he tries to rap for that type of crowd

He hasn't been doing it a lot in recent years I agree, but that's because he cared about the message more but that doesn't mean he isn't capable, there's plenty songs and features where he does that, do your research
He also spoke in interviews about why he choose to do that
The narrative for Cole switched recently because he choose to abandon his message and just talk slick, but Kendrick was doing that more than Cole in the beginning of his career, and it seems like Kendrick is going back to just slick raps after the last album because he gave his fans all that he could as far as message, that album felt like a closure album for that type of Kendrick, now he's in his K. Dot bag

Never said it did. But you niggas is slobbering over west coast rap just because it come with a little weirdo twist and some fake political stance.

garbage ass list for sure but WHO REPORTED THIS LMAO

"Fake political stance" = anti police brutality

This feelin' is unmatched
This feelin' is brought to you by adrenaline and good rap
Black Pendleton ball cap
We don't share the same synonym, fall back
Been in it before internet had new acts
Mimicking radio's nemesis made me wack
My innocence limited the experience lacked
Ten of us with no tentative tactic that cracked
The mind of a literate writer, but I did it in fact
You admitted it once I submitted it wrapped in plastic
Remember scribblin' scratchin' dilligent sentences backwards
Visiting freestyle cyphers for your reaction
Now I can live in a stadium, pack it the fastest
Gamblin' Benjamin benefits, sinnin' in traffic
Spinnin' women in cartwheels, linen fabric on fashion
Winnin' in every decision
Kendrick is master that mastered it
Isn't it lovely how menaces turned attraction?
Pivotin' rappers, finish your fraction while writing blue magic
Thank God for rap, I would say it got me a plaque
But what's better than that?
The fact it brought me back home

people saying TPAB has no replay value kill me cause they make it sound like the entire album is filled with u’s, the blacker the berry or for free type stuff

King Kunta, These Walls, Alright, Momma all bang

Momma in particular is one of the most accessible songs on it
