    1. Both are nice…..people always gunning for you when you on top….that’s whys people be hating on Jigga.

    2. big l was untouchable, and jay dope as usuall…haven’t heard this for a long ass time….brings back memories

    3. Too much… L was great… 90s were great, back when the slang that made hip hop was still burgeoning. Fabulous.

    4. “Here I come ag-g-g-gain, run up, up, up in”

      “But a boo boo boo bam”

      “Jid-a, id-a, wid-l, zid-e, uh huh”

      “Like dunanna, dunanna, di di dun dun ditty”

      Jay’s first verse was nice, but the second was kinda wack when he started doing all that stuttering shit. L took this one hands down. Still giving it 5 stars for being a classic freestyle session.

    5. so this is the first time jay used the “raise hell till its heaven” thats also seen on the black album…..also i thought GZA was the architect of “run on the track like jesse owens” he might have been listening to this????

    6. watch the camel jockeys say “watch the Big L dick riders say he got Jay on this” bwahahahaa

      Jay went from Jaz O to Kane to Big L and still no one wanted to sign him cos in the hayday of 90s East coast hip hop HE WAS NOT THE MAN, it took Biggie to pass and Nas and Wu to fall off before anyone gave this camel with the dick sucking lips the time of day, go and sing a song from Annie, old daddy warbucks ass 50 year old…

    7. Obviously, Big L caught Jay on this freestyle but Jay was still transitionin’ from that tongue twistin’ style. The Jay we know now was born on Dead Presidents and Ain’t No N*gga. If this freestyle happened a year later, Jay would have taken it…

    8. This is dope but some cats are too caught up in 90s hip hop. Don’t get too caught up with nostaligia. There are still dudes doing their thing….Cole, Kendrick, KRIT, Drake….New legends.
