A year and a half since one of the all-time greats on the mic passed, and 5 years since his classic debut album, they dug these songs and verses out and put them together in a nice pleasing album With 14 different songs, you get 2 classics, 1 almost classic, 4 o.k songs, and the other 7 are good or real good songs. The lyrics and metaphors are on point as always from Big L and the guests for the most part hold their own as well. Guests are on much more then on his classic debut album on 8 of the 14 songs. Production is tight as well and most of the beats sound good for his flow and style. It's a shame he died cause I heard he was going to sign to Roc-A-Fella and I'd have liked to see how he fared on abig label with the fame he deserved. A must have rap album.
