like all other posthumus release!

MakCorleone:
Well, i like this release.
One of the best posthumous albums I’ve listened to.
Only complain would be the length of this album & the lack of D.I.T.C. Involvement in this.
Most of the L verses were previously released or available on YT and previous releases.

Harlem Universal Ft. Herb McGruff = this song was from an old freestyle with the same title as this song, but also had features from I-Born and CL Smooth which is way better than this Remix 8/10
U Ain’t Gotta Chance Ft. Nas = L’s verse was taking from a ‘97 freestyle he did with O.C. @Tim Westwood Show, at first I wasn’t feeling it but change my mind after a few listens 9/10
RHN Ft. Errol Holden = can’t remember where the OG verse came from but the beat suits L’s rhymes very good 9.5/10
Fred Samuel Playground Ft. Method Man = this song actually has unheard L vocals to me, mixed with some of his most frequently freestyles, Method Man sounds dope on this beat which makes me wonder how a real Meth & L collabo could have been 9.5/10
All Alone (Quiet Storm Mix) Ft. Novel = L’s verse comes from the Lord Finesse produced song Alone from Stephen Simmons ft.Big L & Marquee. The OG was a dope song, but I wonder If Alone was Remixed completely with this beat it would’ve been a posthumous classic. Sadly the song is too short in length 10/10
Big Lee & Reg Ft. Errol Holden = Skit
7 Minute Freestyle Ft. Jay-Z = Remastered and slightly enhanced version of the Legendary freestyle @Stretch & Bobbito show. Big L showed he didn’t play no games 10/10
Forever Ft. Mac Miller & Pale Jay = I was the first to open my mouth on why Mac Miller was added in a song with L, but goddamn they sure captured the magic on this. Big L, Mac Miller & Pale Jay were amazingly good. Almost dropped a tear when L rhymed. Also, L’s verse was taken from Ron G’s Harlem’s Finest/Exclusive 2003 mix 10/10
Doo Wop Freestyle Ft. Joe Budden = L freestyle this verse on the L & A.G. live from Amsterdam and on the song We Got This. Joe Budden was only on the Intro. 7/10
Stretch & Bob Freestyle (‘98) Ft. Donald Phinazee & Sacha Jenkins = Donald was on the Intro of the song, but the actual freestyle is part 2 of the one released on The Big Picture but with a different beat. Classic L going at it, you can even hear Lord Sear’s reaction to L’s freestyle. 10/10
Grant’s Tomb ‘97 (Jazzmobile) Ft. Joey Bada$$, BVNGS & Ron G = this song has L’s 1st verse to Harlem’s Finest/Exlusive 2003 mixed by DJ Ron G who introduces this song. Joey did his thing on here too 9.5/10
Live @ Rock N Will ‘92 Ft SHOWBIZ = everyone (I think) has heard the OG Rock & Wills freestyle, while the beat is different it sounds like the same vibe (i think they flipped the same sample). Only wished Lord Finesse was featured with his verse from that session. Oh well 9.5/10
How Will I Make It (Park West High School Mix) = being a 2Pac fan made learn about Master Reels, DAT Tapes etc, so this classic song must have it’s master reel or DAT tape damaged or something, I bet they tried their best to restore and remaster this song, still this is a Classic Big L song 10/10
(Bonus) Put The Mic Down Ft. Fergie Baby& Party Arty = can’t remember where L’s rhymes came from but it was dope to hear L & Party Arty on this project. 9/10

As far as the features they are very good and I’m surprised about it.
Far superior than what I expected, besides the D.I.T.C. Absence and the length of the album it would’ve been super great. 9/10
