R.I.P. Lamont "Big L" Coleman (May 30, 1974 - Feb. 15, 1999)

Posted by Shamz on



Yesterday marked the 10 year anniversary of the untimely death of Harlem MC Big L. Another shinning star in Hip-Hop put out far too soon due to senseless violence. For those of you who weren't able to appreciate L's music while he was alive, below is one of the songs that really displays the lyricism he was known for. I know we, as fans, have a habit of posthumously turning rappers into legends, but in L's case I think it is warranted.

Definitely a legendary, underrated emcee who symbolized all hip-hop was and is about. R.I.P. Big L! For those who aren't familiar, get familiar. My 9 yr old son is "familiar" with Big L
