Freestyle series and tracks not included in the previous Big L records. They all have an excellent production that helps the technical rapping of L to flow while the rapper kills the beats often impressing and even when the rhythm changes ("Rock N. Wills Audition").
In the midst of this twenty cuts, the most interesting are "139", where he destroys the beat of "Ten Crack Commandments" and the Stretch & Bobbito freestyles: in addition to the complete track of '98 already present in "The Big Picture" and the infamous and excellent work performed in 1995, sweeping away Jay-Z over a classic jazzy beat of "Keep It Real" by Miilkbone produced by Lord Finesse, who sampled "Life's a Bitch", those of '93 — absolute gem, masterpiece: Big L devastates the dark jazzy boom bap excellently realized with an impressive flow for technique, speed and smoothness — and of '94 — excellent dark jazzy boom bap with soul sample in the background — while that of '92 presents an essential production, soon submitted by L. To note "How Will I Make It", one of the rare "real" songs here: a dark, tense, skeletal jazzy boom bap killed by Big L with a brilliant easy-going delivery. 7/10.
