R.I.P Big L

For all you 'Hip-Hop Heads' out there, you already know about Big L or atleast you should. If you don't here's a little excerpt. And to add some 'credit' to this post, if you're a Kanye fan, he definitely knows about Big L and his lyrics. In fact, he used his name in his song 'The Glory' off of Graduation:
"I hear people compare themselves to BIG a lot/ You know BIG and Pac/ You know to get it hot/ I guess after I live I wanna be compared to BIG/ Anyone Big Pun, Big L, or Notorious!!"

Here's a little knowledge about the man himself:

Lamont “Big L” Coleman was equal parts freestyle king, storytelling genius and punch line specialist. Sadly, a week before he was reported to sign to then-conglomerate Roc-A-Fella Records, he was brutally gunned down just blocks from his Harlem home. But to those who knew him and knew of him, Big L was more than just a hometown hero, he was a legend in his own right. Check out a playlist of his music below.
