I get tired of people hyping up Biggie and Tupac. They're both more overrated than Big L is.
In my opinion, Big L's first album was classic, and his work with D.I.T.C. was too, and if not, it was damn near it. I can listen to "Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous" front to back, and have never really felt compelled to do so with a Tupac or Biggie album.
The reason his second album was probably not up to par, was because it was mostly accapellas when he got killed, meaning he had no input on the instrumentals used, or the guests picked (which, a lot of them may have been picked to fill up the songs).
