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

[Rapmastermind]

Cool Track list. I feel like this is "Born Again" situation were as "Big Picture" was more like his "Life After Death" since it was mostly complete or he was working on it at the time. The other posthumous LP's didn't really move the needle back then but I'm glad they came out since there were some rare Big L cuts on them. This is about introducing Big L to a new generation of Rap fans. Can't wait to hear it.

Mac Miller is dope. He prolly was a huge fan of L. This is dope of Nas to do for son's family tho.

He was actually, but I dont see L collaborating with Mac. It is what it is though.

better producer/music mind than rapper too IMO. Never caught the vibe from him on the mic.

Mac Miller is dope.

Nah.

They're trying to get people to listen to the project and dig deeper on L. It's a good call even if I'm not a fan. It's great to see Nas making moves like this and the family said he also cleaned up something with The Big Picture contract so he's really looking out.

Now we just need someone to step in and clean up Tupac's estate. There's so much stuff that hasn't been released to this day. Just need a big box set to clean out the vaults.

I get the idea. Just was never a fan of Mac Miller and always thought he was grossly overrated.

But its just one song. I can skip it and enjoy the others.


One thing i’m happy about is Nas is doing great business with all of these legends. He really started his very own Motown and is making sure everybody eats off their hard work. Ghost, Raekwon and Havoc have all commented on how Mass Appeal has allowed them to do whatever they wanted artistically and how all of the contracts have been fair. The Big L estate especially has praised Nas for his handling of this project.

Look at the amount of rappers alive how have collaborated with artists you wouldn't have thought they would have. NOBODY can say L wouldn't have done a track with Mac if they were both still here because neither of them are.

Damn, between this, WSG, and Ransom/Preme we're gonna be at the buffet tonight

Ghost put out a compliation of mostly leftovers and old shyt. This run could have been so much more. Outside of Rick's album( which had a fumbled and mismanaged launch) and L's estate getting cash (which won't be much from people who stream) it's been very disappointing in my opinion.

And its a guarantee they would collab if living???

 

[spliz]

Nah.

Yes. I don’t know why y’all feel like y’all opinions are end all be all. Son got a classic mixtape and dope albums.

 

[Artfull Dodger]
