I'm a huge Big L fan, would have been top 10 had he made more music.
Nas was nicer than L except for flow.
Fan of Big L but he's severely overrated on the internet and it's mainly due to hipster cacs. He's not the most "talented rapper ever" and yes Big Pun was better. I would even put Mase above him, skillwise. Kill me.
With that said, peace to the God. Sad we never got to see his full potential.
big L could have been as big as Biggie with the proper training and funding and...
oh yeah, if he didn't get killed
