Big L outshined Jay both times they rhymed together :ohhh:

I still can't believe this is Jay from 1995 lmao, next year he released Reasonable Doubt. This was the Das EFX after effects era, mad biters and shyt

But Lord Finesse stole the show on this track, and Party Arty's hype remains unmatched
:blessed:

I think he was a great technical lyricist and I actually think he was on the verge of reaching his full potential before his life was taken from him.

the best thing about Big L is he could use punchlines without taking away from the song's momentum and without saying corny shyt

I'm not a huge punchline guy but Big L made it work better than anyone, even his mentor Lord Finesse

I only have 1 album from him to hear and I miss him still :'( he would have been big

That freestyle he did with Jay is probably my favourite of all time
