I agree, What makes Jay better than L is his versatality In My Opinion.Big L is more like specialized in battle-rhymes the bragging & boastin while Jay can do all kinds of rapsongs.Bragging and boastin to lovesongs.Thats why Jays records are so hot cause hes more musical.

Indeed Jays first verse was just as hot as Big Ls verse.I like Jays flow better.But Jay messed up his second verse.He was mumbling trying to come up with lines i actually think that was the only real freestyling in this track.

Yup he is

um isnt big L dead?

Volume 1 vs. The Bigger Picture, they dropped roughly around the same time. L is a beast on the mic and uses alot of couplets in his verses, but he's just not melodic enough to make good records. Till date i haven't found one that smashes on Jay's HardKnock cut. Theres more to being a better artist than just being able to wordplay viciously

because jay has had 10 more years. jay wouldnt have made it as big if L would have lived

KidProper (August 20, 2008 at 2:07 am)

L might of took this with his writtens. But Jay makes better tracks than L did

Big L ripped it.Jayz flow was incredible.Jayz second verse was already written FYI.And i think Big-L did better.Im a huge Jayz fan, but L did better.Jayz is still the best ever thou.............................
