    Default Rakim Vs. Big L

    Who ya'll think would win this mc battle? This would be a tough one because both of them are ill. It would've been nice to see Big L still living because i would've been curious to see if he would've kept his music underground. I heard rumors that Rocafella was interested in signing him before he passed away. If he hadn't died and if he had gotten with Rocafella, i wonder if his music would've became mainstream.

    did M.O.P. or O.D.B. become mainstream when they signed to Rocafella ?? nah, at best he'd be on the same level (status not skill) as Beanie Siegel i reckon.

    L signed with Roc-a-Fella 3 days before he died... him and jigga were down from day 1... and L was well on his way to becommin mainstream by himself with Lord Finnesse & DJ Premier on production

    not to mention all the Hot 97 freestyles n all

    ^ Kill yourself.

    Devils Son, Ebonics, The Heist, How Will I Make It, etc.... how aren't they creative? And Big L also has some of the most creative punchlines along with his songs.

    i believe he was talking mainstream like Jay Z is, and sorry, i love Lord Finesse & Preemo too, but theres no way they could make him mainstream, thats the reason he signed with Rocafella, if Lord Finesse & Preemo could make him mainstream (1) he woulda stuck with his own label Flamboyant Entertainment, and (2) why are'nt Lord Finesse & Preemo mainstream ??

    are you fucking serious?

    Big L would eat that niggas asshole in a freestyle battle

    L's hilarious, he's the master of shock rap, if he dropped one of his punchlines on someone in a battle the crowd wouldn't shut up for a week. And he has a nastier flow

    Rakim is the superior MC tho, but Big L would clown the shit out of him

    out of the 2 my favourite is Rakim, him along with Krs One, LL Cool J, Chuck D & Big Daddy Kane, heavily influenced me to rap from day one, but if we're talking about an mc battle, it's Big L, Rakim has a lot more to say than just how extremely dope he is, but then again, if it was a battle through songs, a la the Jay Z & Nas thing, then i reckon Rakim could've smashed him to pieces. but we'll never know for sure.
