Put It On Big L

Went to a gig this week that put me in such a grump that I decided to only listen to angry old school New York hip hop from now on. My current obsession is Big L.

"I got the wild style, always been a foul child, my guns go 'poom boom' and your guns go 'ow pow'."

He was shot dead in February 1999 (aged 25) in Harlem.
