Albums Big L - Harlem’s Finest: RISE OF THE FORGOTTEN KING (Discussion Thread)

[Whips-n-Chains]

Reading the Insta post it sounds like some of the rare joints are being cleaned up and remastered in their best available form, so hopefully most of the album is that.

Will this have modern production on it?

According to an IG post from a few months ago they’re mixing/mastering a bunch of Big L songs and loosies and making sure the producers are properly credited/paid. They also said a few “surprises” are in the mix.

I'm happy they are doing this, but I'm not expecting more than 1-2 tracks that we haven't heard before

I sure hope the fukk not. I don't want to hear Big L over any goddamn trap beats

I kindve expecting NaS to be on all the albums so a feature here would be nice as well

Also Cam and Mase could mess around and drop something in Children of the Corn vein

Said in the other thread as well really like the photo used for the cover, looks very authentic in this AI world bs

Havent listened to L in a while so ill try to farm some streams

Just realised this is scheduled for Halloween, very on brand for "Devil's son"

If no new lyrics...just a damned mixtape remixed

My homie CH is working on this.

Nobody blends better than he does, so I think people will be surprised with how dope this sounds. L was my dude, so I'm definitely looking forward to people hearing this one and keeping his legacy alive.

We grew up in the same building.

He lived on the first floor. I was on the fourth.

Modern doesn’t have to mean trap beats. Modern is also what Hit Boy did for Nas it’s Daringer, Conductor, Havoc still has heat, shyt Buckwild produced an album for Saigon recently and it sounds dope.

From what I gathered this album is meant to provide a home for all the loosies and freestyles that have been floating about for years, sort of like a lost tapes kind of thing. So I doubt there will be much “modern” production because they also said they wanted to make sure the producers of those songs got proper payment/credit and samples were cleared. They talked about some “surprises” but i’m thinking the surprises may be guest verses from Nas, MAYBE Cam and Mase, that sort of thing.
