He was on the verge of making it when he was murdered.

It got hyped because of his death. This album came out in 1995 and no one was talking about it. Not even years after, until white people hyped up his death on the internet. Do you really think they would have done that if he was still alive?If Big L was alive he'd be yet another underappreciated lyricist who never made it (aka joined Slaughterhouse)

"lifestylez ov da poor n dagerous" made its mark, when it came out in 95.. it didnt reach the typical "become-famous-after-death"-status till later, but it had a great reception,, especially in the east (not commericaly, but generally wit listenres & the hiphop/cd-audience of its time). it was raved about, no doubt.. n then Dame Dash came wit the singnin papers for Roc-a-fella --- n dont forget about the successors - Jay-Z, Ma$e, Children Of teh Corn, Harlem World, D.I.T.C. all of that.. Big L is acknowledged as one of the greatest, n rightfully sobut yea, the white internet-kids boosted his name up--------------------------D.O.C. is from Texas, nuthin country about him tho.. dude was breaded in the west, just like Lady Of Rage was breaded in the east
LOL...so when Pac reps Cali, it makes him west coast, but DOC hollerin "west coast" throughout his tracks doesnt make him west coast? check urself, son. even if thats a remix, DOC was still hollerin "west coast" on many different tracks, reppin the west to the fullest. and like other dude said, even "Helter Skelter", which wasn't produced by Dre, was pure G-Funk....u really need 2 check urself, son. u been makin very little sense in this section, real spit.

The lyrics for Helter Skelter were for the Dr. Dre and Ice Cube reunion project and Doc released the project on his own to get back at Dre. And a fail on your part since the album was recorded in....guess where? Texas. Since Doc went back HOME after the fallout with Dre. Face it, the only reason Doc goes to Cali is to fuck with Dre.

"The Shit" from his album "Deuce".To me "No One Can Do It Better" is the best album of all time, period. But it doesn't sound very "westcoast" to me, even tho' the full thing is produced by Dre and therefore it could still be considered "WestCoast" to me.. His second album "Helter Skelter" on the other hand got a very "westcoast g-funk" sound on the whole thing.. even tho' hardly anybody from the West worked on it.. both classic albums tho'.LMAO...who gives a fuck if thats a remix, dude is hollerin "West Coast" throughout the whole track. lemme guess, that was remixed in there too? come on, now...anyone who doesnt consider DOC west coast needs 2 slap theyself.

The fact is no one was talking about this album until his death 4 years later. Death was the best thing that ever happened to Big L's rap career. and lol the hip hop/cd audience wasn't close to raving over this album. How could they? No one bought it.

Listen to "California Vacation" and you'll know what i'm talkin' about.

was wellrecieed in hiphop-circles n everybody bought it. it was dropped back in d days,when The Source was the bible, n heads were buyin hiphop-albums dependin on how many mics an album would recieve. not a classic, till after his death,,, but if dude woldve been alive,, it still be classic. a "classic" becomes a "classic" later,, it wouldve been so wit or without the death,, cuz it was always a terrific work of art in its own right,,

I thought you were talkin' about the "West Coast" shit that Game is yellin' on the original song and it's also on the background on that fanmade mix.
