5 out of 5 stars Big L's Debut Is A Classic.......2007-04-10

BIG L was an amazing MC he had good lyrics teaching you about street knowledge this album is a classic to me THE SOURCE magazine gave it 4 MIC'S a near classic but to me it is his lyrics are amazing BIG L had HARLEM on lock some of my favorite tracks on the album are MVP & STREET STRUCK & actually at the time a young JAY-Z got his first debut on DA GRAVEYARD amazing lyrics good beats what else could you want from a hip/hop album? BUY IT you won't be disappointed.

3 out of 5 stars most overrated album ever?.......2006-12-27

please, don't hate on me for just giving this 3 stars.. i'm a huge d.i.t.c. fan and i got love for L (rest in peace). but this album isn't really that great. L is a ill lyricist far above your average, but the freestyle flow and lack of concept in many songs makes me kind of bored. also i don't think the beats are what they could be. you can't even compare them to the beats on the true ditc-classics: funky technician, word life, runaway slave, awakening, stunt blunts & hiphop etc.
and let's be real about it... this lp isn't even top 10 from 1995.
doe ore die, krs-one, dah shinin, livin proof, liquid swords, ob4cl, legal drug money, good fellas, labcabin california, 2000, soul food are all much better albums.

5 out of 5 stars street struck.......2006-12-23

all i gotta say, had great potential. too bad his life had to end so short. a deffinant great rapper.

Harlem's own Big L was one of the most amazing non commercialized rappers in the game. He wasn't trying to be a star or a big named rapper, just a freestyle legend. And let me tell you, he can spit some shhhh off the top of his dome (if you get a chance look for an album called "Harlem's Greatest: A Freestyle History"). I first heard of this guy on the Music Choice Channel when the song "All Luv" by D.I.T.C. was being played one night. He didn't have the best verse in the song (outshinned by Lord Finesse) but he grabbed my attention.

Listening to this album, I understood where Big L's style came from and how he elevated it. "Put It On" was a dope single and a way to start off the album. My favorite song on the entire album would have to be "No Endz, No Skinz", a song about women out for a mans money. A lot of these songs through out the album he would talk about murder ("All Black") and living the inner city life ("Danger Zone"). Lyrically he was good to the point where you would hit the rewind button a few times ("I wouldn't give a chick 10 cents to put cheese on a whopper"). But at the same time he kinda overdid it to have people like "what the hell?" ("If I catch AIDS, I'ma start raping b*****s").

Guest appearances came in packs in two songs "8 Iz Enough" (I forgot what televison show that came from) and "Da Graveyard". In many songs there are a lot of no names at the time, with the exception of Lord Finesse on the latter song. But today you can find Killa Cam (Cam'ron) in the song "8 Iz Enough" and a younger Jay-Z in the song "Da Graveyard".

Production wise is cool. I know Diamond D and Showbiz did a few tracks on here. So you have that D.I.T.C flavor throughout this album.

Flaws are not that many. Some people might can't take the intensity of Big L's lyrics. But hey that was his style of rapping. And maybe "I Don't Understand It" and "Fed Up With The BS" might fall under skip material. Other than that this is one album that is a perfect album to your collection (and at the price listed, you CANNOT beat it!). It's sad he was taken away from us and hip hop due to an act of violence (the day after Valentines Day, 1999). There was reports that he was going to sign under Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella records before he was killed. I keep saying I'm going to buy "The Big Picture" but haven't gotten around to it. I always wondered what would happen if he ever blew up and became a big named artist here in 2006. Unfortunately that question will never be answered.

5 out of 5 stars GREASTEST of ALL TIME!!!!!!!.......2006-11-29

Big L is the best rapper that has ever lived. No one has been able to even come near him, not Biggie not 2 Pac no one. Buy anyone of his albums and you will never listen to Chingy, Ludacis, 50 Cent. All those guys are bubble gum rappers or popstars. THIS IS RAP!
