Lamont Coleman a.k.a. Big L is known to be one of the illest lyricists to bless the mic. The late MC's brother Donald Phinazee has put together a collection of previously unheard recordings from the early 90s, the rapper's second posthumous record entitled "Return of The Devil's Son." Like all other Big L tracks, the record is straight grimy, track after track of dirty, vulgar lyrics.
Essentially, Big L could be the viewed as the epitome of hip hop, a gangster rapper from Harlem who died before his second LP even came out. On title track "Devils Son," which was released before on Lifestyles Of Da Poor and Dangerous but than removed for being insanely offensive, L is as sick as possible: "Cause being bad I couldn't stop, when I was in preschool I beat a kid to death with a wooden block." Or "They first knew I was a crazy ni**a when they came home and my mom found out I killed the babysitter."It's actually saddening that any rapper putting out music right now (except for Kanye) can't put words together like L. The whole song voices keep repeating "when I was 12, I went to Hell for snuffing Jesus."
