Rap legend, Fat Joe, vividly recalls Big L's first-ever stage performance saying: "The crowd went wild. He was witty…his lyrics were incredible." Big L's legendary freestyle battle with Jay-Z was another career highlight, with Fat Joe encouraging viewers to look it up: "He and Jay-Z freestyled for an hour straight on the Stretch and Bobbito Show."On February 15, 1999, he was shot nine times in a drive-by shooting on the very streets he grew up on.
