Big L is like the Dr. J of hip-hop. Anyone who saw him in his prime swears he was one of the greatest of all-time, but since like Dr. J his prime went largely unrecorded by today's standards - all we're left with is grainy show footage and a small collection of tracks - it's easy for the younger generation to underestimate the man.
Make no mistake, Big L belongs on the greatest of all-time list. He's one of the few that Jay-Z has admitted was better than him. And as a reminder of what we lost when he died 13 years ago, Mister Cee threw down a tribute mix to Lamont Coleman.
