Don't think he would. He just doesn't have the commercial appeal people like Nas, Pac, Jigga and Big got. Big L has always been too underground for that. No matter how great he was as an emcee, he would never really be considered the goat the way pac, big, jigga and nas are.

no question.........one of the best mc's ever IMO

co-sign...and rumour has it he was in negotiations with Rocafella around the time he was killed...if that had happened, who knows where he'd be by now...that Stretch & Bobbito Freestyle is still one of my favourite verses of all time...and Devils Son is one of the illest tracks of all time no doubt...

i dont think so, i think he would of been on the same level as prodigy was b4 he started to fall off in 2000.  No doubt tho L is the saddest story in hip hop an the greatest to never blow

I would only say No for the reason that alot of guys with just one album out are perceived to be heading to legendary status.  The first album couple of albums are when they artist is most hungry and pushes hard to accel..  I am sure you can name a handful of rappers who you thought were going to change the game, but after their first or second album they were nothing special at all..

That being put aside, it is clear Big L had alot of potential, no one will ever know.. Sad.

nahh, wouldnt say alotta people are.. big was the dopest on the east coast at the height of his career but remember he only dropped two albums and wasnt really around that long, but yet gained super stardom, would have only got better.

personally i think BIG was one of the most over-rated rappers ever to come out.

because he was in beef with Pac - he got compared to Pac.  he ain't a top 5 MC for me. :grumpy:
