I love L too but I agree with you, much bigger fan of Cam and Mase. Big L style fit more with DITC than COTC in my opinión.

I was just thinking the other day if Killa and Murda never fell out they probably wouldve dropped one of the best duo albums, like Mobb Deep or Meth & Red level

Horse n Carriage is a big local record. When they shyt would get spun everyone would go CRAZY :blessed:

Bro, If you can’t see how L is superior to cam, then it’s pointless me trying to explain it to you. life is about opinions, and I respect yours, but I ain’t gonna go back and forth on why big L is a better mc than Camron
What is the distinction between "superior mc" and "artist"?

Might have been the other way around, Mase exposed Big L for copying his rhymes.

No disrespect to L but his death really inflated him. That and message board culture. He was not better than Cam imo.
Big L had a better voice and more flow than Cam

He seemed naturally more gifted imo

I wouldn’t say Cam can’t lace his boots because he more than held his own on those COC songs though but that was his peak rapping technical wise wished we got to see more of it

Only thing Cam missed out on is kinda the above, he doesnt have a boom bap or COC ish album like Big L had, Confessions Of Fire was cool but doesnt count

Actually because of the administrative delay of big l.

We kind of had to live a world where things were put out of whack.

As a result.

Mase had no power and signed to badboy
ushering In the jiggy era.

Where because of said delay.

It set the cultural course of hiphop off.
from having administrative effect in the Industy of rap.

So because of said delay.

Cam never got a chance to make those style of records in that so ic landscape.

we envee even got more thsn one mase stykes war recird. Where arguabky masr was one of the nicest before badboy too tho.
the records you spoke of.
in that sonic landscape or era.
We never got a lot.
All because of the longest administrative record dela.
in rap history for big l' s album.

Nah, Mase wasn't even in NYC or rapping when Big L was outside ripping sh*t up with Finesse and DITC. L's style was the same back on the early records. No one even knew Cam or Mase existed in '91-'92. Everyone in the city knew who L was though.



L was the first from around the way to get into the music. Nobody else was even close to being this advanced back then, in Harlem. We went CRAZY when this dropped. L was the standard. He raised the bar for what "nice" was back then.

Cam Top 10 NY rappers, period

I was already a Cam fan since COF but this and Takeover freestyle made Cam one of my top 5 favorite rappers just off 2 tracks



This still one of the GOAT freestyles :ehh:
