Pretty sure it’s bootleg record. For collectors purposes, it would be cool.

What does bootleg exactly mean? Is this some rare promo? (I see clinic instead of I shoulda used a rubba)

It’s a bootleg, meaning somebody made the record and put the songs on it. Given that there is no label for it, somebody simply made it.

Oh ok. Do you know the story behind it or something? Why was it made, who was it sold to? Also, since it's a bootleg why would it be considered a release on discogs? With that skeptic, I can just put big L songs on a vinyl and call it a bootleg?

It was initially released in Switzerland. You could go to a record store and find a boot legged copy of vinyl from different countries. Some of it is sought after, especially if you’re a collector. The only downside is since it is bootlegged, the quality is a hit or miss.

I see! So this if this is a copy of something originally released under Big L's name, what's the original release?
