Lamont "Big L" Coleman could have been one of the greatest MCs in Hip-Hop history, he had the potential to be. That's a word you're going to hear a lot from the DITD duo as they look at what could've been for the Harlem born & raised spitter. He didn't just have the potential to have one of the greatest careers we've seen, he showed signs early that he could've been a top tier Hip-Hop businessman, dedicated to putting his people on and not just being about the bars.
Unfortunately, all we have is the bars and testimonials from the likes of Cam'Ron & Lord Finesse, but the least we can do is appreciate how COLD Big L was.
