Ep.64 - Put It On, Big L, Put It On
On Ep.64 of DITD: Big L is a case where the true extent of his potential rely solely on the testimonies of the people that were around him when he was alive. And boy was there potential...
Lamont "Big L" Coleman could have been one of the greatest MCs in Hip-Hop history, he had the potential to be. That's a word you're going to hear a lot from the DITD duo as they look at what could've been for the Harlem born & raised spitter. He didn't just have the potential to have one of the greatest careers we've seen, he showed signs early that he could've been a top tier Hip-Hop businessman, dedicated to putting his people on and not just being about the bars.
Unfortunately, all we have is the bars and testimonials from the likes of Cam'Ron & Lord Finesse, but the least we can do is appreciate how COLD Big L was.
