Big L is one of my all-time favorite rappers. IMO, he was a rap genius. I am also going to boast I can rap along with this entire jam. It’s a great contradiction!

"Second posse cut on L’s debut album, also the only album of his released in his lifetime. Noteworthy is young Jay-Z’s appearance due to the fact that this song was recorded in 94/95, and Reasonable Doubt, his first album, came out in 96."*

Da Graveyard (ft. Lord Finesse, Jay-Z, & Y.U.) - Big L

from the album: Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous

Simple bassline. Simple lyrics. Still hits hard. Here's an old school posse cut to start your week off right.

Sometimes YouTube comments sum things up perfectly:

Damn, Big L's verse got me wanting to knock somebody the fuck out.

Big L be lightin' niggas like incense Gettin' men lynched to win tits I'm killin' infants for ten cents Cause I'm a street genius with a unique penis Got fly chicks on my dick that don't even speak English I'm makin' ducks shed much tears I buck queers  I don't have it all upstairs but who the fuck cares? I'm grabbin' brews takin' fast swiggas I get cash and stash figures and harass them bitch ass niggas After you you're gonna get scared next And if ya squad flex I'm lettin' off like Bernhard Goetz A tech nine is my utensil Fillin' niggas with so much led they can use they dick for a pencil I'm known for snatchin' purses and bombin' churches I get more pussy on accident then most niggas get on purpose I got drug spots from New York to Canada Cause Big L be fuckin' with more keys than a janitor
