Big L died 16 years ago today

[Dragonfly Jones]

and still no arrest made for his murder and no Street Struck documentary


with that being said tho, B1tches born in 1999 are 16 now?






fuk it, if the grass is green

Me neither, I didn't know about him until he had already passed. Was anyone here a fan of him while he was still alive?

Not gon lie, first time I heard Mase or any Harlem rapper was on 112's "Only You" feat Biggie/Mase in 1996. And Big L was on 3 years piror to that. (I didn't even discover Lord Finesse and D.I.T.C until years later)

I'm assuming Hiphop heads born in the 1970s were aware of him, I'm an 80s baby so my memory ain't vivid of the early 90s like that outside of Mc Hammer and Kid n Play

Apparently they had the dude that killed him but they didn't have enough evidence to charge him, so they released him, he skipped town, and was never seen since. I'm still waiting on that doc too, I thought it was supposed to come out like last summer.

Heard of him when he got shot too. He was amazing. Hadn't bumped his shyt in like 10 yrs until a couple months ago. Heard Da Enemy played in the club a month ago and lost my mind. That 7min freestyle with Jay is legendary.

Big L was incredible to say the least.

He died before Pun. Pun passed in Feb. 2000 and L passed in Feb. 1999.
