The winner of the following categories:

Most underrated mc of all time
Best mc of all time
the absolute KING of nice punchlines (ask beavis, I get nuttin but head) (so ahead of my time my parents ain't even met yet)
The biggest waste of a life in the history of Hiphop

for those that don't know, big L suffered from the 25 year old curse, it seems rappers always get shot when they're 25.... anyway, he got robbed for his jewellery in his native Harlem and got shot 7 times. Rumournhas it L wasn't about to just hand over his jewellery... and well, it cost him his life.

"so ahead of my time my parents ain't even met yet"...Haha, classic.

He did a great track, it'd be about 10 years old now "Da Graveyard", featuring a killer guest spot from Jay-Z.

Big L > Biggie Smalls
Have to disagree there mate.

Biggie had the total package, where L lacked a stature that took him to the next level. L had explosive, witty wordplay...but his content was hit and miss yet Biggie had that magic flow and hardness that was smooth on any production.

When you compare Lifestylez against classic debuts such as Ready To Die, Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt, and the releases following these...L is a rung below. Had L had the chance to do more, maybe it would be a different story, but Biggie owned the game.
