Before my time pt3

Before Mase before camron before people gave Harlem props for more than the Apollo Big L was that dude.
After starting as 1/4 of the Group children of the corn a group that included neighbourhood friends Killa "Camron", Murda "Mase" & his Late cousin Bloodshed, Big L finally broke off to do his solo thing but still kept close ties with and even including them on his 1st solo joint.
I feel as though L was at the same level as Biggie and Jay Z his debut album
Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous barely got the push it needed. L was very much a pioneer with classic , freestyles, punchlines and a sick flow.
Lines like "when it comes to getting/ nookie am not a rookie/ I got girls that make that b****h Toni braxton look like whoopie"
"Ask beavis I get nothing buthead"
Right before he was gunned down he had established his Flamboyant entertainment brand and he was also negotiating a major label deal with Rocafella/defjam. Before the Roc considered adding Camron to the roster Big L's Name was also thrown around.
