L x Jay Z:



Classic! I recorded this live, off the show that night.

This freestyle gave that Miilkbone beat life because nobody cared about the record before that, lol. Jay popped up on Stretch so many times, with legends. His episode with Kane is another classic one.

DITC & Fat Joe need to be in here, why the hell is Mac Miller on here? :why:

Streaming numbers & Mac Miller favourite MC was Big L.

Weird but Big Ls estate have to look at this from a business perspective also.

So I’m assuming they trying to get Big L name more known around different type of listeners, which I really can’t be mad at.

It’ll more likely be 1 of the highest streamed tracks on the album.

Also it’s not strange for posthumous to have some weird features lol

It just defeats the purpose of this album feeling authentic, it's like the Biggie duets & Pac posthumous albums for me which was ridiculous.

This here.

L's debut was the album that Mac Miller said made him want to become a rapper. Mac even had a Big L tattoo. He always said that he started rapping because of L, so I loved that they wanted to get him on the album.

On a personal note, I knew both of them well. So it was a little emotional for me to hear them together on that. I thought it was dope.

It's verses and demos too from unreleased music that people haven't heard.

A lot of it's been pulled from things he wanted to drop in the late 90's, but didn't get a chance to. Just saw Nas over the weekend. I can say, without saying too much, that this is going to be much better than The Big Picture.

I like how you casually throw out this information since you pretty much know everyone from back then. :russ:

"What are you talking about? I had dinner with Premier last night and he was talking about the Nas album. I mentioned the release date and he said 'Yeah, I just found out today.'"
