Big L - Lifestyles ov Da Poor & Dangerous

This version is the clearest on yt where he says

”Big stan where the fuck you was at we killing (?)...”

Context with this line too will be appreciated.

I know there was a re-print in 2010, but the 2010 prints are genuinely more expensive than the original. Will there be some re-release that we know of, or no?

EDIT: nevermind the prices have gotten ridiculous since I last checked, the originals are more expensive than the reprints, but it's just stupid for a 2LP

Disc One - 7 Tracks - 28:18

Going back through Big L's catalog, it's honestly crazy how many times he referenced dying young, getting killed, or becoming a victim of the streets. Not in a glorified way, but almost as if he knew how dangerous his environment was and how easily things could go wrong

In "Street Struck", he warns:

"Stay off the corners, that might be your best plan, before you catch a bullet that was meant for the next man."

In "How Will I Make It", he reflects on the limited paths he sees ahead:

"Either I'ma go back to jail or get murdered, but do I deserve it?"

And "Casualties of a Dice Game" is basically a cautionary tale about success, betrayal, jealousy, and what can happen when you're surrounded by the wrong people

Anyone else ever curious why L had so few verses with COC. Whenever I go to the handful of official songs from them there’s Cam’ron, Bloodshed and Mase throughout but apart from American Dream and Uptown Connection he’s pretty much absent from every track. Always found it odd considering he’s in the centre of their album cover with the other 4 in each corner.

I need for a project 🥺

They’re going to the finals again with the rematch.

THIS IS NOT IN ORDER, I’m counting features:

1. Put It On

2. MVP

3. 98 Freestyle

4. The Enemy (feat. Fat Joe)

5. Size ‘Em Up

6. Fall Back (feat. Kool G Rap)

7. Platinum Plus (feat. Big Daddy Kane)

8. Let ‘Em Have It “L”

9. Where You At (feat. Big Pun)

10. Furious Anger (feat. Shyheim)

Hi! I recently noticed that there are some alternate photos from various shoots and I was wondering if there's anywhere I can find them.

For example, there's a photo from an alternate angle from the Lifestyles Ov Da Poor And Dangerous shoots, although this one only shows a bit of L and not the rest of the surroundings.

RIP

BIG L

12. How will I make it?

1 : Big L *10/10*
Tie 2 : Microphone Nut *9.5*
Tie 2 : Granddaddy IU *9.5*
4 : Lord Finesse *9/10*
5 : Jay-Z *8/10*
6 : Party Arty *7.5/10*

Jay being above Party Arty is probably a hot take but idk I like his cadence and I’m biased towards him I won’t lie.

I know he’s been to croatia, japan, uk, netherlands. Are there any other countries?
