If he were still alive today he'd own the game, punkass Jay-Z doesnt even rep him anymore which is why ill never respect the guy. Gangstarr is the only one who was close with big L that still gives respect to him, (unlike Fat Joe, Jay-Z and Cam'ron) he even did a song with Tupac that was amazing.
Any other Big L fans/ people who agree that he doesn't nearly get the credit he deserves?

Depends on who you talk to, or are talking about. Of course amongst more casual fans he's going to be underrated. Let's face it, he never had a "hit."
Amongst the krylon and backpack crowd, he's a legend and arguably a little
overrated. This type of thing exists in all genres of music.
