Customer Review :
"when i think of big l it almost brings tears to the eyes.. i mean the guy had all the flow in the world.. his lyrics were insane.. he came with multies after mulit and there arent too many rappers that write lyrics with the skill and direction that he does. It’s really sad that he got shot and how his life was cut short. Well on this album the producers bring big ls memory back. This is really the first album that introduced me to big l from the very opening he gives us a taste of his amazing wordplay and creativeness with a set of metaphors that look at what the rap game is without him, and its really true.. when l died rap lost one of its greatest mcs of all time. This album showcases what big l is famous for.. his punchlines.

On tracks like 98 freestyle and the hot ass hit "holdin it down" l drops punchline after punchline.. youll find yourself rewinding your cd player thinkin did he really say that ? YES he did .. no one came with more punchlines and creativeness than big l. His amazing storytelling ability is also showcased on this album.. on casualties of a dice game l raps about a dice game gone wrong in a amazing way. I’m a big rap fan and have listened to alot of rap from underground to mainstream and let me tell you .. casualties of a dice game is one of the best storytelling song ever. Seriously anyone that is a rap fan should get this album. Also anyone that raps like myself should appreciate hearing an album of the late big l, because l was really an mcs mc.. hes everything that an mc should be.. he was fresh, creative, and had alot of carisma. I still get misty eyed when i think of big ls death, an excellent album from one of the greatest writers ever."
