THROWBACK CLASSIC - Week of 2/15

Lamont Coleman, better known to the Hip Hop world as Big L was killed 11 years ago today. Gunned down in his own hood of Harlem, Big L's murder is yet another one of those Hip Hop deaths that has yet to be solved. An arrest was made when the crime first occurred, but the suspect was later let go due to a lack of substantial evidence. It's suspected that Big L's two incarcerated brothers may have been to blame for his murder because it's rumored that the crime happened in retaliation to something that one of his brothers may have down in jail or prior to being locked up.

In memory of arguably the most skilled emcee of all time, I'm posting Big L's "Put It On" video as the "THROWBACK CLASSIC OF THE WEEK." This song is one of the singles from his debut album "Lifestylez of Da Poor & Dangerous" which was released back in 1995. Big L unfortunately met his demise right before the release of his sophomore album "The Big Picture."
