About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Having made a name for himself as a guest MC on D.I.T.C. (Diggin' in the Crates) projects such as Diamond D.'s Stunts, Blunts & Hip-Hop and Showbiz & A.G.'s Runaway Slave, the flamboyantly gifted Lamont Coleman (aka Big L) dropped his debut in early 1995. A product of the mean streets of Harlem, L made his bones in the rap game with his rapid fire freestyle delivery and clever punchline-peppered rhymes. A patchwork album with a few outstanding cuts, Lifestylez fails to package the lightning-in-a-bottle talent of this cut-above MC. The album showcases L as a master of the lyrical stickup undressing his competition with kinetic metaphors and a brash comedic repertoire. The lead track, "Put It On" produced by Kid Capri, is a party cut with a criminal attitude. "M.V.P." snatches a brief segment from DeBarge's "Stay With Me" (later aggrandized on the Notorious B.I.G.'s popular remix of "One More Chance"). "Da Graveyard" features a young Cam'ron (here Killa Kam) and most notably a superb verse from a pre-Jigga Jay-Z (at the outset of his solo career). With better production and marketing, Big L might have found himself with a platinum album but instead he settled for platinum respect. This album captures the dynamic potential of a street legend, a legend who would later be gunned down in his prime. ~ M.F. DiBella, All Music Guide All Music Guide

June 09, 2003: Big L without a shout of a doubt is the most talented artist to ever spit on a mic. This album was given 4 mics in the source and is a must have for any true hip hop fan. This aint just for underground heads either. Big L goes up on the list of one of the greatest along with tupac shakur and Biggie. Every track on this album is a must hear weather Big L is talking about women or just straight up ripping people up with his shocking rewinding rhymes. Big L puts it down on this album with tracks like MVP and All Black which has some of the most craziest lyrics in any song. Also Da Graveyard which features a camio with another hip hop great JayZ. A must for rap fanatics.
