Music Review

 I'm turning the clock back to an album that all 90's rap lovers should know. The Big Picture is the second and final studio album by the rapper Big L. The album was intended for a 1999 release, but due to L's murder, the album was later released on August 1, 2000 by Rawkus Records. The album was produced by DJ Premier, Ron Browz, Ron G, Lord Finesse, Pete Rock, Shomari, Mike Heron, Ysae, and Showbiz. The album features on of my favorite tunes Ebonics/Size 'Em Up,which was the last single released while Big L was still alive, as well as the #1 Rap single Flamboyant. The Big Picture features appearances from Fat Joe, Guru, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane and 2Pac. The collaboration of Big L, Guru and 2pac (3 favorite rappers of mine) lay down some of the dopest rhymes.   It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in October 2000.
It sold 72,549 copies in the first week. This album is unbelievable and I'm going to give you a little taste of the flow of Big L. This is a freestyle from the album.
