This is probably the rarest thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of posting. We’ve all at some at point heard the legendary 7 minute back and forth freestyle session between L and Jigga from the February 23, 1995 episode of the The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show on WKCR. Personally I’ve heard it at least a thousand times and I pretty much know it word for word. But unless you were at the radio station that night, you most likely never heard this extended, nearly 10 minute version.
All the way back in 95 Hov was a problem, two of the best lyricist.
R.I.P Big L.

Classic Hip Hop! Once again, Classic Hip Hop! Dozens of rappers have used that famouse (BIG-L) Hard —- & buble gum line. And everybody in the world knows what Jay-Z has become since B I G died. If you don’t know then, I’ll be the 1st to tell you that his Net worth is 500+ million $$$ & he just made the cover of FORBES magazine with Warren Buffet (Net worth 45 Billion $$). Money talks!

What? Roc-A-Fella had a hell of a run, gave birth to Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Young Chris and of course Kanye West. But all Empires have to fall sooner or later.
On to the next one, RocNation.
