| hiphopheads Essential Album of the Week #93: Big L - Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous Posted: 21 Feb 2018 08:26 AM PST Welcome to the new and improved Essential Album of the Week discussion thread! Every Wednesday we will discuss an album from our Essential Albums list Last Time: E-40 - In a Major Way This Week: Big L - Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous Stream/Purchase Songs/Singles Background/Description (courtesy of allmusic.com) 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.Guidelines This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism. This is your chance to practice being a critic. It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!! How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't. DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE!!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged. Next week's EAOTW will be Dre Dog - I Hate You With a Passion [link] [comments]  |

| Full video of Tekashi69 getting jumped at LAX Posted: 21 Feb 2018 10:46 AM PST edit: To everyone complaining about the title: my post was made before the longer video started going around. I don't care if you think he got jumped or not, TMZ's title called it a "massive brawl" so saying he got jumped seems fairly harmless to me. I was just sharing the video so everyone could see what happened edit 2: TMZ's longer video: http://m.tmz.com/#2018/02/21/tekashi69-brawl-fight-lax/ [link] [comments]  |
