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

[BK The Great]

At least Lord Finesse.

Rather have the entire Diggin In Crates as they were actually affiliated with him.

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

"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.'"

I've been around. HAHA!

Finesse and Digga helped with a lot of the acapellas. Some from the DITC days and Digga had verses from the COC days.

So they helped in that way.

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

I understand that but they are working with limited new verses & leaked material so the chances of it feeling authentic probably wasn’t a possibility if your a Big L stan, I’ve got all the unreleased stuff from COC, DITC on my PC if I ever decide to hook it up again from the Big L forum days.

If this final LP is too get Big L more noticed to a newer audience with the features/production I won’t be mad at that…Big L is a rapper that can definitely appeal to the new generation & deserves to be.

But you still feel young? And a few of your crew members like to pack guns?

The Mac feature is a surprise, I wonder where they got his verse from for the record, he was an L Stan.

Guess they used it 'cause he says "flamboyant" somewhere in his verse

I was actually gonna make a post wondering if they were gonna use this. I used to bump this daily. It doesn't sound as good as the OG to me.

I loved this freestyle

 

[Shahcronz]

yeah, loved that freestyle too. but that's my favorite track so far, the beats fits the coc vibe and also mcgruff is always appreciated.

I think this release might remind people how ill L was, Happened to me recently cause unfortunately he didn't have a lot of material out.
Hope the producers are on point, for sure they enjoyed working on this with how precise and entertaining L was.
