Kane and G Rap along with Rakim were innovators of east coast hip hop. They brought the grime as well as the clever word play and, to me, a certain level of genius to music.Last edited by res; 01-17-2013, 03:37 PM.

I see a lot of 'would've' and 'could've' in regards to Big L but the fact of the matter is that he didn't.
Truth hurts.
not true at all. plenty people knew L before he died outside of nyc. most definitely in florida.
now the masses may not have, but that nowhere near makes him overrated at all. he's not overrated. listen to his shi t, and there's no coulda woulda shoulda with L. He did it, just could have done it longer.

G Rap is basically the godfather of all my favorite shi t, with a little Rakim mixed in.
Now there's an underrated rapper on the ATG lists. He's in my top 5.

2.) You act like I've never heard Big L's material or something. I have and I still think that he's overrated because he's dead. Moreso because he's a hip hop artist who got shot - The most glorified of all deaths that a popular music artist can suffer, especially in hip hop.
Say what you want but getting shot in hip hop increases your popularity dramatically. Moreso if you lose your life to it.
