Thread: Big L - Lifestylez ov da Poor and Dangerous [ILL Entertainment]

good album for sure....put it on was dope

'you cant kill me i was born dead!'

I agree wit all dis .

one of ma fav albums of all time .
big picture is iight too .. but this was like a book for young mcs who tryin make dope punchlines

I disagree a bit...The street themes were what was real to his life...and it wasn't that conistent. Here's a quote from the title track:

"My moms told me to get a job, fuck that
Aiyo, picture me gettin a job
Takin orders from Bob, sellin corn on the cob"

That's pretty wack. I'd give the CD a 4.5

Before my time? Watchu mean....

And I agree it's a dope album, but to be the GOAT I feel it should be flawless.

You said it was the best album ever. And I am 15, so I was hardly bumping anything when it came out.

Just because I was young at the time doesn't mean I don't get it now.

True. I do agree that this shit is dope.

Great album...nice review

Now-a-days there's tons of shit copyin' L's style and people might hear this and say shit like oh he comes weak on alot of shit and name some other fool and say that they're better, when in reality, they stole L's style. Just makin' a point that you can't really form a true honest opinion unless you've heard it from the start, back when no one else was doin' shit like it. Back when it was original. Because you can't improve on the original.

Yes you can. U carry around a cell phone? Is it the first model that they made?

^ victory.

i like the album a lot...production was inconsistant...too one sided on subject matter but it was dope....the only thing i really disagree is you callin big l the punchline king....Vakill has better punches easily..

And Shyne get off my balls, fuck a emo ass Cage. You're into that whack wrist cutting "I'm too fat, people don't like me, I want to die" type nerdy emo ******* rap. You wouldn't understand good hip-hop if it raped you.

And to the new jack with the Va comment....shut the fuck up and fall on a knife. Va is nice as fuck, but also overrated. His shit is clever, but in a more conscious way, L spits the dope, quick punchline that you get right away without having to think about it and he makes the shit you can bump in ya ride. Va on the other hand makes the more intellectual punchline that you bump when you're just chillin' alone, you can't bump that with your homeboys or in ya car without lookin' nerdy.

Somebodies mad Big L isnt the best punchline rapper rapper You gotta be a fuckin dumb ass if ya gotta sit back and think through a vakill punchline.

Never that, you just upset that I debunked your whole Vakill betta than L theory, it's aight to be upset, go back into your rich house in the suburbs and cry in the corner while your Nica maid comes in and dusts around your rich ******* ass. Stupid ass bitch, claimin' you know Black culture, get off my balls.

I've never seen someone dickrider a rapper as hard as you....You blow the 50 and game stans out of the water
