Speaker 1: it So with that being said, let's just get all
2:57
Speaker 1: the intro and stuff out the way. Let's get well.
3:01
Speaker 1: Hold up, Hold up, I'm rushing myself. Big shout out
3:05
Speaker 1: to hip Hop DX dot com. Okay, I got a
3:08
Speaker 1: couple of new people on hered let me just look
3:09
Speaker 1: at your name real quick Music Times dot com as
3:14
Speaker 1: well as Hotnew hip Hop dot com for providing some
3:19
Speaker 1: of the information from some of these stories. But without
3:22
Speaker 1: further ado, let's get right into the business right at
3:27
Speaker 1: the top. Cameron sues j Coole over a song called
3:35
Speaker 1: Ready twenty four in which Cameron appeared. It was on
3:41
Speaker 1: the might Delete Later, which kind of deleted himself later
3:48
Speaker 1: from the battle you know that battle do Drake Ken
3:52
Speaker 1: Drake J Coole saying you know I'm gonna take it
3:55
Speaker 1: on the chin, you know whatever he said, man like,
3:58
Speaker 1: come on, it's damn it, Jacob. I like Jacole, But
4:03
Speaker 1: the suit is he's claimed. Cameron has claimed that he's
4:06
Speaker 1: old five hundred k now. According to TMZ, the Dipset
4:13
Speaker 1: Legend has filed a lawsuit against the Dreamville star, claiming
4:17
Speaker 1: that he appeared on Cole's Mike Delete Later track in
4:21
Speaker 1: exchange for either a guest verse on appearance on his
4:25
Speaker 1: popular YouTube sports show It Is What It Is. This
4:31
Speaker 1: is coming from hip hop d X by the way.
4:33
Speaker 1: In the two years since the song was recorded, however,
4:36
Speaker 1: Killer Camra legends that Cole has yet to fulfill their
4:39
Speaker 1: agreement and has repeatedly rejected his request to record a
4:43
Speaker 1: collaboration or be a guest on his aforementioned show. The
4:48
Speaker 1: Hall of Native is seeking monetary compensation for his contributions
4:52
Speaker 1: to the Ready to Ready twenty four, asking a judge
4:56
Speaker 1: to legally declare him the co author of the song
5:00
Speaker 1: so he can receive his fair share of its proceeds.
5:04
Speaker 1: Cam is demanding a full accounting of the song's earnings
5:09
Speaker 1: and estimates that he is old at least five hundred k.
5:15
Speaker 1: Neither Cameron nor j Cole have yet to publicly comment
5:20
Speaker 1: on the lawsuit. All right, so let's clear the dummies
5:24
Speaker 1: out there are a lot of people who love social
5:28
Speaker 1: media and the Internet because it allows them to be
5:32
Speaker 1: the ignorant people they are. Now, don't look at that
5:36
Speaker 1: as just an insult. Some people are really proud to
5:40
Speaker 1: not know. They prefer to not know because it feeds
5:44
Speaker 1: a feeling, right, and it's usually a negative feeling. So
5:49
Speaker 1: they can, you know, express that in regards to whoever
5:54
Speaker 1: it may be, because there's something not right with their
5:57
Speaker 1: own lives, right, that's what it's just you just channeling,
6:01
Speaker 1: You're just projecting. Now, why would I say all that
6:05
Speaker 1: when we're talking about seeing Well, that's because a lot
6:07
Speaker 1: of people look at this as not hip hop to sue.
6:11
Speaker 1: But what they don't know is suing has been happening
6:14
Speaker 1: well before Drake did it. Example, you can go back
6:20
Speaker 1: to not even that long, but you can go on
6:24
Speaker 1: YouTube and just like search for Noorri complaining damn there
6:30
Speaker 1: crying about being sued by another rapper or whoever within
6:34
Speaker 1: the music industry, and he, you know, he's hesitant to
6:38
Speaker 1: talk about it because you know, you can't talk about
6:40
Speaker 1: litigation in some instances unless you're a dummy. And this
6:45
Speaker 1: is like what late nineties I think when this is happening.
6:50
Speaker 1: So suing is a thing now. The difference between Drake sewing, well,
6:55
Speaker 1: Drake's suing for defamation of character for lyrics and a
7:01
Speaker 1: that's not hip hop because never in the history of
7:06
Speaker 1: hip hop battle rap has the one the person who
7:10
Speaker 1: lost filed a suit because of what was saying or
7:14
Speaker 1: even the person that won like because if it's a
7:16
Speaker 1: back and forth, it's a part of a battle to
7:19
Speaker 1: say things that in some cases aren't true, or to
7:24
Speaker 1: define the other. God, that's what battle rap is. You're
7:27
Speaker 1: doing what the sport of battle rap requires. And Drake
7:33
Speaker 1: is no different. That's what makes his lawsuit seem stupid.
7:38
Speaker 1: From a man who says, I study battle rap, he
7:42
Speaker 1: can't even keep up with himself. The Cameron thing is
7:46
Speaker 1: a breach of contract. This is totally different. Some would say,
7:52
Speaker 1: oh this him, what kind of broke? Answer is that
7:57
Speaker 1: they are in the business. I don't care how dope
8:01
Speaker 1: you feel your favorite MC is they get a check
8:04
Speaker 1: to do it. They're not at the recipe Sean Price.
8:09
Speaker 1: Sean Price wasn't just rhyming on the corner just like
8:11
Speaker 1: I'm the illest guy. I just want to give off
8:14
Speaker 1: my my art and my energy. No, Sean Price was
8:18
Speaker 1: getting a check too. He could say either broke his
8:20
Speaker 1: wrapper alive, but he ain't doing no free shows. It's
8:23
Speaker 1: a business man, and when you're contractually obligated or handshake
8:29
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, the assumption is that you're going
8:34
Speaker 1: to honor that contract. And a contract, so to speak,
8:38
Speaker 1: of this nature where it's like Cole, give me a verse,
8:42
Speaker 1: like I gave you a verse, or just hop on
8:46
Speaker 1: my show. Now I can understand j Cole not wanting
8:50
Speaker 1: to go on the show. I can understand him ghosting
8:53
Speaker 1: that when you can just really say we not want to,
8:57
Speaker 1: we don't want to do that. The answer has been
9:00
Speaker 1: Jake hole is not available. Right. I can understand that
9:03
Speaker 1: because unfortunately, every time Ja Cole pops out on the
9:08
Speaker 1: beach with sneakers on, people are talking about him. Every
9:14
Speaker 1: time he drops a song or whatever, people are talking
9:17
Speaker 1: about him, and it's all rose lead back to the
9:21
Speaker 1: battle because how it ended for him, and it's almost
9:25
Speaker 1: as if he can't shake it and get started and
9:29
Speaker 1: move to the next thing. Now sidebar Ja Cole, if
9:36
Speaker 1: you're finding that every time you drop a record, all
9:39
Speaker 1: people say is you quit. Shut up. We don't want
9:43
Speaker 1: to hear from you. You gotta call Kenny. You gotta
9:48
Speaker 1: call Kung Fu Kenny, you gotta call gate Dot, you
9:50
Speaker 1: gotta call Kendrick Lamar and say, brother, I need your help. Okay.
9:56
Speaker 1: They won't listen to me when I come out and
10:00
Speaker 1: talk about the battle, apologize about the battle, say I'm
10:03
Speaker 1: moving on from the battle. But if you collaborate with me,
10:08
Speaker 1: they won't be able to say anything. Some will say
10:12
Speaker 1: like look at him, but nobody will pay attention to
10:16
Speaker 1: them because they will just be happy that the universe
10:19
Speaker 1: is no more, no more Beef. But regarding Cameron, I
10:24
Speaker 1: could get. I get why j Cole wouldn't want to
10:27
Speaker 1: go on the show because y'all, I don't want to
10:29
Speaker 1: How are you not going to ask me about that? Like,
10:31
Speaker 1: I know it's a sports show, but what people want
10:35
Speaker 1: to hear won't be who j Cole thinks is going
10:38
Speaker 1: to the finals. They'll want to hear, Yo, where you've been,
10:42
Speaker 1: what happened with the battle? What was your real thoughts?
10:44
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. And he doesn't want to answer that,
10:47
Speaker 1: So give him a verse, man, give him a verse.
10:51
Speaker 1: Give him a verse you already have. And some people
10:55
Speaker 1: might say, well, maybe he don't want to talk about it.
10:56
Speaker 1: You don't have to talk about it all. So Jacole
11:01
Speaker 1: does a lot of features, so why aren't you giving
11:04
Speaker 1: Cam a feature? So it's one of two things. For one,
11:08
Speaker 1: it's not against hip hop that Cameron is suing after
11:13
Speaker 1: he let a grace period of time pass of pursuing Jaco. See,
11:18
Speaker 1: he didn't go straight to litigation when he didn't get
11:21
Speaker 1: his money. He kept making attempts to make right on
11:27
Speaker 1: that agreement. And j Cole is not available. So either
11:33
Speaker 1: you're going to become available or you're gonna pay, or
11:36
Speaker 1: you're gonna or give me the verse whatever, and who knows. Again,
11:42
Speaker 1: both haven't said anything publicly, which could mean they're speaking privately.
11:49
Speaker 1: And sometimes when this information hits the public, guy and
11:53
Speaker 1: these guys are more concerned with their image than maybe
12:00
Speaker 1: J Cole is available now now that everybody knows, maybe
12:03
Speaker 1: you're available now, so we'll see next. So there was
12:13
Speaker 1: like a whole story that popped up recently about jay
12:20
Speaker 1: Z saying he was untouchable in a versus. We know
12:25
Speaker 1: we're coming off the cash money records and no limit versus.
12:29
Speaker 1: So everybody's kind of back in mold again as fans
12:34
Speaker 1: and somehow comments that jay Z said about three or
12:38
Speaker 1: four years ago are back and people are arguing about
12:41
Speaker 1: it as if he just said it. But he did
12:45
Speaker 1: said a long time ago, because I remember Future being
12:49
Speaker 1: one of those people who said I could compete with
12:52
Speaker 1: jay Now, this is what jay Z meant by that
12:56
Speaker 1: as far as being untouchable, his catalog, stamina, and live
13:03
Speaker 1: performance presence would make a two hour versus battle effectively
13:09
Speaker 1: unwinnable for any opponent. Now, what does his church say?
13:16
Speaker 1: I say he lies? Can I get an a man? Okay? Now,
13:22
Speaker 1: there are not many that can compete, and maybe that's
13:27
Speaker 1: what the quote from three to four years ago from
13:30
Speaker 1: jay Z should have been. But there are people who
13:34
Speaker 1: can compete now. Obviously when it comes to crowds, it
13:40
Speaker 1: depends on the crowd, right, Like you may have a
13:44
Speaker 1: crowd that's there for jay Z right and loves jay Z,
13:49
Speaker 1: But will they like Eminem Because Eminem could compete with
13:56
Speaker 1: Jay right. He has the catalog right, even though it
14:01
Speaker 1: might be the first three albums, but he got enough
14:03
Speaker 1: right in the soundtrack. He has the stage presence, he
14:07
Speaker 1: has the stamina right. But maybe the content would make
14:13
Speaker 1: people feel like, well, I don't mess with Eminem, or
14:15
Speaker 1: I don't like what he said, or that didn't age. Well,
14:18
Speaker 1: I'm with jay Z Okay, cool, Nas just start with either.
14:24
Speaker 1: Now I'm just playing, but you know what I'm saying.
14:26
Speaker 1: Nas has a catalog, he can have twenty joints, he
14:31
Speaker 1: can have the presence He's actually a better performer than
14:35
Speaker 1: jay Z if you ask me. Jay Z has become
14:37
Speaker 1: better over the years, and so has NAS. But I
14:41
Speaker 1: think NAS haven't seen Nas recently. I think Nas edges
14:45
Speaker 1: him because his stage show is more than just the
14:51
Speaker 1: songs driving the entertainment, if you know what I mean. Right,
14:56
Speaker 1: Like you know you had a show jay Z do
14:59
Speaker 1: your favorite like you don't know. It don't matter what
15:03
Speaker 1: he said the minute to term my music hot, it's
15:07
Speaker 1: the song that's driving it. He's not. He doesn't really
15:10
Speaker 1: have to do much anymore today to make that performance
15:14
Speaker 1: great because that song was already great. And even when
15:18
Speaker 1: that song was out back in the days. Trust me,
15:20
Speaker 1: I've seen jay Z a million times back in the days.
15:22
Speaker 1: I ain't talking about your new fans who black album
15:25
Speaker 1: went forward. I'm talking about from before reasonable doubt forward.
15:30
Speaker 1: And there was a time where all he did was
15:32
Speaker 1: point at you the whole time. That's all he did
15:37
Speaker 1: is point at you. Why it's my phone like sounds
15:41
Speaker 1: like it's loose, but you know what I'm saying. And
15:45
Speaker 1: NADS would have a thousand dudes on stage and it
15:48
Speaker 1: was kind of yelling and cuffing. I'm like both are
15:50
Speaker 1: better performers, but nads can match jay Z and my
15:55
Speaker 1: last pick, you know the goat LL cool J. He
16:03
Speaker 1: got the catalog. He has it and expands decades in
16:09
Speaker 1: decades where jay Z was out, in decades where jay
16:14
Speaker 1: Z was not out as an artist. Get what I'm saying.
16:20
Speaker 1: In jay Z's Heyday, LL got hits before jay Z
16:26
Speaker 1: even got on. LL got hits. He has the stage presence.
16:33
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen LL perform? He outperforms all the
16:36
Speaker 1: guys I just mentioned because he comes from an error
16:40
Speaker 1: where it's it's not just rapping, it's a lot of movement,
16:45
Speaker 1: it's a lot of presentation. Those guys don't move the
16:49
Speaker 1: way Jay the way LL moves because LL kind of
16:54
Speaker 1: comes from a different error where they worked on that
16:58
Speaker 1: nineties cats. It was just more about what they were
17:02
Speaker 1: saying and the beats, and some of them had to
17:05
Speaker 1: develop some level of stage presence, but most of theirs
17:10
Speaker 1: is coming from what they say. You know, LL is
17:14
Speaker 1: like spinning and probably got the one leg pants leg up.
17:20
Speaker 1: But it's a show, you know what I'm saying. So
17:24
Speaker 1: I don't agree with jay Z's comments from three to
17:27
Speaker 1: four years ago, but I would love to see it.
17:31
Speaker 1: I just don't think it would ever happen because if
17:34
Speaker 1: it was to happen, as far as like hype and
17:40
Speaker 1: selling an event, it has to be jay Z and
17:43
Speaker 1: ours just because of the battle, just because of the errors.
17:48
Speaker 1: It would be dope to see jay Z in ll
17:53
Speaker 1: In some ways they kind of overlap with the type
17:56
Speaker 1: of music, but because people just know jay Z versus
18:01
Speaker 1: nas jay Z and nasay like eternally linked because of
18:05
Speaker 1: a battle, that would be huge. I would watch. I
18:10
Speaker 1: might go. Now I'm not going, but I might watch
18:14
Speaker 1: for sure. So I don't know. Do you think is
18:19
Speaker 1: jay Z untouchable in a versus name some people in
18:23
Speaker 1: the comment section who you think could also compete on
18:26
Speaker 1: those same levels of stamina and catalog and live performance
18:32
Speaker 1: because some of us can come up with a few,
18:36
Speaker 1: and the future says he got the catalog and stamina
18:39
Speaker 1: and live performance also, so we'll see. And lastly, so
18:47
Speaker 1: we've been following along with this massiveppeal what is it?
18:53
Speaker 1: Seven Legends, seven icons release of albums, and so far
18:58
Speaker 1: we got Slick Rick ray Kwon, ghost Face and then
19:06
Speaker 1: mob Deep and so far it's been more good than bad.
19:12
Speaker 1: To be honest, I don't think any of it's bad.
19:14
Speaker 1: Even though I wasn't the biggest fan of Slick Rick's project,
19:19
Speaker 1: I understood what the mission was. I just didn't necessarily
19:23
Speaker 1: like everything I heard. So it's the lowest on the
19:26
Speaker 1: totem pole for me. But now on Halloween, which is today,
19:31
Speaker 1: and if you're from the future, you've already had Halloween,
19:35
Speaker 1: get your ass out of here, okay. But one thing
19:40
Speaker 1: that was interesting to me is that we knew Big
19:45
Speaker 1: L's album was on the way, and then it was
19:49
Speaker 1: announced that was Halloween. And then we got a lead
19:51
Speaker 1: single with nas what is it? You Ain't got a chance?
19:56
Speaker 1: With a video that was like vintage, and I was
19:58
Speaker 1: feeling the vibe. It was nostalgic. And then it's like Halloween,
20:05
Speaker 1: this album is dropping and it's here. So, if you
20:08
Speaker 1: know how I do reviews, I give three listens for
20:12
Speaker 1: my reviews. The first listen is just my impressions. I
20:14
Speaker 1: just let it rock, whatever happens happened. The second listen
20:20
Speaker 1: is to like really listen intently, kind of figure out
20:24
Speaker 1: what the intent of this project was, what they've done,
20:29
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, as far as production, concepts, bars, whatever.
20:34
Speaker 1: And then The last listen is to confirm my thoughts
20:38
Speaker 1: and for those who need quick reviews, I would say
20:41
Speaker 1: this album from Big L is is that right? It's okay,
20:48
Speaker 1: It's fine, That's what it is. So features on the
20:53
Speaker 1: album would stare a lot include McGruff, nas, Errol Holding,
20:59
Speaker 1: I have no idea. That is y'all method man, novel,
21:04
Speaker 1: Mac Miller, jay Z which is that freestyle Joe Budden
21:09
Speaker 1: talking I'm not rapping. I thought he was gonna be
21:12
Speaker 1: rapping Joey badasses on his showbiz And I'm not gonna
21:18
Speaker 1: name everybody. I just want I just want to say
21:19
Speaker 1: this one party arty. You know, if you run a
21:23
Speaker 1: nineties you know party arty, you know it, you know.
21:27
Speaker 1: But it's sixteen tracks coming in around forty minutes and
21:36
Speaker 1: what So what I feel about this album is I
21:40
Speaker 1: feel like this is a continuation of the Big Picture.
21:45
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a Big L album like
21:49
Speaker 1: his debut album, that's not what this is. This is
21:53
Speaker 1: more like when he passed and they put out that album,
21:57
Speaker 1: The Big Picture, which had features and some of his
22:02
Speaker 1: freestyles were turned into songs and some of the freestyles
22:04
Speaker 1: were available. Also. It's that so that should be your expectations. Now.
22:10
Speaker 1: I know some people love the Big Picture, and the
22:15
Speaker 1: thing is is this is a continuation. It's not a competitor.
22:20
Speaker 1: It's a continuation of what was that And I think
22:24
Speaker 1: that if you go into it haven't heard the Big Picture,
22:29
Speaker 1: then you will understand what this album is. You can
22:33
Speaker 1: grade it on that scale. And me doing that and
22:40
Speaker 1: someone who grew up in the nineties listening to hip hop,
22:43
Speaker 1: listening in the Big L in real time when he
22:45
Speaker 1: was alive the stretch of barbdo freestyles like him emerging
22:52
Speaker 1: from his contract, I guess with Columbia to start doing
22:57
Speaker 1: all these dope freestyles and talking about and unfortunately he
23:01
Speaker 1: was murdered. And then The Big Picture comes out, and
23:05
Speaker 1: you know, songs like Ebonics on there and stuff like that,
23:09
Speaker 1: like Big L was building to something because he was
23:13
Speaker 1: always nice. So when you hear this album, it's just
23:16
Speaker 1: a reminder and it's a trip down memory lane for
23:21
Speaker 1: those of us who were around now. Some people may
23:24
Speaker 1: be disappointed because they kind of wanted an album, but
23:29
Speaker 1: the man has been gone for a long time and
23:35
Speaker 1: this album is an indication of if there is an album,
23:40
Speaker 1: Sony ain't releasing it, and if there isn't well, he
23:47
Speaker 1: did a bunch of freestyles and had a couple of
23:49
Speaker 1: starter verses here and there. Now I will say on
23:52
Speaker 1: this album, the lead track, which I love, I think
23:56
Speaker 1: is Dobe. Honestly, I like it better than the joint
23:59
Speaker 1: when Nas Harlem Universal with McGruff. I really feel like
24:04
Speaker 1: I heard that before. If you know where, leave your
24:09
Speaker 1: comments in a comments section below, whether it appeared on
24:11
Speaker 1: a mixtape or whatever. But I feel like I really
24:15
Speaker 1: heard that before. And mcgruffy even says, you know when
24:18
Speaker 1: it was recorded, and blah blah blah. But it's pretty
24:23
Speaker 1: dope and I like to beat big L. Big L
24:27
Speaker 1: don't miss on any of his verses, not one on
24:30
Speaker 1: this project. So it's up to the features to meet
24:35
Speaker 1: him at his level, and I think some of them do,
24:39
Speaker 1: including McGruff One of the tracks that well, let me
24:43
Speaker 1: say this first read. I mean method Man told the
24:47
Speaker 1: story I think on Drink Champs about Big L selling
24:51
Speaker 1: him what you go look that up. I ain't gonna
24:54
Speaker 1: talk about it, but which was a crazy revelation. But
24:58
Speaker 1: at the same time, Method Man's on his metha Man
25:00
Speaker 1: bars are crazy, Okay, metha Man bars are Crazy on
25:04
Speaker 1: here like it was perfect. It was a perfect combination
25:08
Speaker 1: of these two together. But there was another Wait is
25:14
Speaker 1: it going now? Hold up because I know I just
25:17
Speaker 1: read it right, I read mac Miller. Oh there it
25:19
Speaker 1: is a song called Forever featuring mac Miller. Now, I
25:24
Speaker 1: know there are people felt like Yo L would have
25:27
Speaker 1: never rocked with him. If Sean Price rocked with mac Miller,
25:32
Speaker 1: you can't. You don't know. Maybe you knew him, but
25:37
Speaker 1: somebody like Big L never had the chance to even
25:41
Speaker 1: listen to a mac Miller because personality aside, he could
25:47
Speaker 1: have respected him as an MC. Now I've said things
25:51
Speaker 1: about mac Miller when he was alive, and maybe Big
25:55
Speaker 1: L would have felt like me. But for whatever reason,
25:59
Speaker 1: mac Miller's on here. And when I tell you, relax,
26:04
Speaker 1: the song is dope and it fits. I never thought, like, damn,
26:10
Speaker 1: why did they put him on? He don't sound like
26:11
Speaker 1: he would be on here. Now there is one great
26:14
Speaker 1: and I get it. I get if you look at
26:17
Speaker 1: the mac Miller feature and be like nah. And it's
26:21
Speaker 1: driven by the fact that where's O. C, D, I
26:29
Speaker 1: T C. Show Business here? But where's OC? That's my thing?
26:33
Speaker 1: Where's OC? Him? And Big L? Had a very good,
26:38
Speaker 1: very tight relationship as MC's especially MC's a part of
26:43
Speaker 1: the digging and the Crates crew. McGruff is here, but
26:48
Speaker 1: that's the that's children what is it children of the
26:51
Speaker 1: corn whatever with you know McGruff for those who don't
26:54
Speaker 1: know McGruff, big L, Murder, Mace, cam and bloodshed. That
27:01
Speaker 1: was dope to open like with that Children of the
27:04
Speaker 1: Corn opening basically, but it's not enough. D I t
27:09
Speaker 1: c here for me And if it's not law for
27:14
Speaker 1: that's and I'm not saying law and that's want to
27:15
Speaker 1: even write anything. But if it's not law for that's,
27:18
Speaker 1: it gotta be oc like one of the two. But
27:21
Speaker 1: all in all considering, there's some classic freestyles here, from
27:24
Speaker 1: stretching barbto especially the seven minute joint feature in jay Z,
27:31
Speaker 1: which is dope because you know, jay Z probably had
27:33
Speaker 1: to clear that joint to be on here. It's dope
27:35
Speaker 1: to hear that it's nice and cleaned up. You get
27:38
Speaker 1: to hear when jay Z used to wrap like the
27:40
Speaker 1: food snakings, don't try that. That first verse was fired,
27:44
Speaker 1: but that second versus a bit of that, like Nick,
27:49
Speaker 1: what are you saying? Jay? That's how we felt That's
27:52
Speaker 1: how I felt back in the days. I was like,
27:54
Speaker 1: get this garbage out of him. Uh. But overall, it's
27:59
Speaker 1: a very good project, right, And don't think of it
28:04
Speaker 1: like this because I know I read my demographics for
28:08
Speaker 1: my show. My show has an older ardience, typically people
28:15
Speaker 1: who are right under me and age and absolutely my
28:20
Speaker 1: generation and above. We all kind of were around for
28:24
Speaker 1: Big L. We all kind of were around for freestyles
28:28
Speaker 1: on the mixtapes. We've probably heard between the Big Picture
28:33
Speaker 1: in this album. We probably heard most of the stuff
28:35
Speaker 1: before it was put into albums, So you're not really
28:39
Speaker 1: going to impress us by repackaging it. But it's not
28:44
Speaker 1: for you. It's not for me. It's for new fans.
28:48
Speaker 1: It's for those who don't know who Big L is,
28:52
Speaker 1: and not everybody who's a new hip hop head knows
28:55
Speaker 1: who everyone is or know enough maybe that's ever been
29:00
Speaker 1: in freestyles? Yo. I heard that on YouTube. I thought
29:03
Speaker 1: it was ill, but I never really dove into Big
29:06
Speaker 1: L's music. That's what this is for. That's what the
29:10
Speaker 1: Big Picture is for. It's really like, Yo, this guy
29:13
Speaker 1: was amazing his his work. Check it out. So with
29:17
Speaker 1: that said, I think it's okay. Album it's okay. I
29:19
Speaker 1: don't think it's the best of the year. I think
29:21
Speaker 1: it's nice to have, but it's not one of my
29:27
Speaker 1: top albums and a lot and then in a lot
29:30
Speaker 1: of ways for the reasons I mentioned regarding my generation.
29:35
Speaker 1: So what do you think of the New Harlem's Finest
