Big L. But not a "not even close" thing at all. If Dirty's earlier Wu stuff and whatever else he was on before this wasn't enough, his appearance on Stretch n Bobbito with 12 O'Clock and Buddha Monk had me droolin for the album, pause.

Entire session is greatness, but @4:40 on>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Also thought we'd hear more from 12 O'clock & Buddha Monk after that night but they didn't go on to much afaik. I mean, after hearing their verses here I thought they were gonna drop a bangin album soon.
I was listening to a couple of NCS(
Nappy Crumb Snatchers) youtubes from their EP earlier and I think one of them may be Buddha Monk or 12 Oclock, I dunno.
Still went with Big L and now after just reminiscing in my brain about this shit, I might regret that vote. Both albums had some great shit and both got mad play from me when they dropped and through the years. Danger Zone is maybe the most vivid darkest classics ever, imo. It will never age for me.
