Damn, I had a feeling that might be the case. Yeah I don't know what to do then, me (or someone else) uploading the video wouldn't change the fact that you can't see it and if you uploaded it, they'd probably just take it down or something. It's only up one place and that's Universal Music Group, so they probably don't take kindly to repeat videos anyway.

As far as your friends go, all the video downloads will stream on MegaVideo (you just go to MegaUpload from the Sharebee link and then click view on MegaVideo) or zShare, unless of course the link is down, which happens to be true with the zShare Fat Pockets (at the moment).

But for now here's the MegaVideo link for Fat Pockets: http://www.megavideo.com/?d=ERUO78Y4

And it's never a problem or a waste of time, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Ok, well i downloaded it from biglrarities.blogspot.com through rapid share so i'll just burn it to a cd and share it to few people, or 'force' them to download it, so it's all ok. And i'm sure that other people are not as lazy as my friends, so you did your part of the job by posting it and that's more than fine and enough.

[patKa]

i wrote the previous reply first, and then clicked on the megavideo link and i saw that that's a link to watch it(i misunderstood you at first and thought that it's another download link) so that will do the work.Thanks.

[The Big Sleep]

Yeah for sure, that's what was I sayin'. If you or one of your friends go to Big L Rarities and then go for zShare or MegaUpload instead of Rapidshare or one of the others, it'll stream on there. Glad it works.

"I had that joint One for the Lyricist released on Blindside Recordings, London indie, that was classic. Check it, it's fire. Old fire but still fire. Three tracks on the joint." ~ Big Twan

"What up y'all, it's your boy Big Twan. Eight is still enough, one love! Man, we went in on that. It wasn't just a song, it was a movement. If we only knew…" ~ Big Twan

"L was one of my favorite MCs of all time, ever since the first time I heard that dude on the Yes You May Remix…'chicks stick to my dick like magnets on refrigerators', [laughing], so ill!" ~ DJ Cosmo Baker

"Thanks for getting in touch. I interviewed L a couple of times, but I wouldn't say that I really knew him. Really I am mostly a fan." ~ DJ Max Glazer

"I did interview the entire D.I.T.C. for an issue of On the Go [magazine] that never came out. It was supposed to be published in an issue of Wax Poetics [magazine], but I'm not sure what the status of that is. I'll have to check in with those guys and see what their plans are for publishing the interview…" ~ DJ Max Glazer

"Big L, the best from Harlem!" ~ Digga

"I know we did a photo-shoot for Children of the Corn. A professional shoot. The pics were mostly of me, Cam and Blood. A few with L and Gruff. I'm still looking; I think Cam stole them from me a few years ago. Those pics would be dope." ~ Digga

"I think A Star is Born was first, then we did Harlem U.S.A. and American Dream. All of the releases were singles on vinyl through Freeze / Priority. I'm pretty sure American Dream was the first single because Columbia and Bad Boy weren't trying to clear L and Mase." ~ Digga

"L was my man, that's how I got on it [Da Graveyard]." ~ Grand Daddy I.U.

"We gettin' it [the documentary] together, it's coming along real proper." ~ Jewlz / Tommy the Director

"The doc is something that's been cooking for a good minute. It's being put together by me and L's brother Don. It'll be a doc highlighting L's life in the truest and best way possible. We plan to involve all the artists and friends of L's who were instrumental in his career developing. We plan to regain production once again in mid-August. We will start collecting as much archival footage as we can and also conducting interviews as well. We'd like to work with all the sites that memorialize L in order to get the word out to the public as well as us doing other forms promotion. Right now the tentative title for the project is: Street Struck: The Big L Story. For now that's all we plan on speaking on in regards to this project but as more things develop we definitely plan to pass on the info to those who are truly interested. On behalf of Donald Phinazee / Flamboyant Entertainment. Peace." ~ Jewlz / Tommy the Director

"Thanks for the love on keepin' my homie's words alive, his family definitely appreciates the support. Please keep an eye out for the upcoming documentary celebrating the life of Big L. The tentative title is gonna be Street Struck: The Big L Story. 2056 Media, Donald Phinazee, Flamboyant Entertainment. Peace." ~ Jewlz / Tommy the Director

My uncle 'mont is gonna always be the one and only. No nigga could ever have a flow as good as the great Big L." ~ Lenaisa Phinazee (L's oldest niece.)

"I don't know much about the new album because my grandmother (Gilda "Pinky" Terry) was the one that told me about it and she don't get down with the rap game like that, she's too old for that shit. She just knows the simple facts [laughing]. I'll holla if I hear anything." ~ Lenaisa Phinazee (L's oldest niece.)

I should figure out a nice way to implement some of these quotes to interchange between on the front page so that they can get more exposure....

[patKa]

Guys, i really admire what you put into this. All these interviews and info, it's truly amazing.I'm extremely glad that you are Big L fans. Can't wait for more of this, i love these articles and once again thank you A LOT for doing all this.

[The Big Sleep]

Thanks for the response. Some of these interviews were done as early as 2005 (and as late as this year). They represent our rise over the span of the last half decade.

L’s dad is (apparently still) workin’ on a book, DJ Max Glazer conducted one of if not the only interview with Diggin’ in the Crates (which to this day remains unreleased), Digga talks about photos of McGruff and L (which there are practically none of around, especially just the two of them), Donald talks about unreleased studio recordings, Jewlz talks more about the upcoming documentary, L’s niece confirms Real Legends Never Die (or at least speaking to L’s mom about it) and O.Gee mentions unreleased live concert footage. That should be more than enough proof of unseen, unheard and previously unknown material to spark further conversation.

[patKa]

Yeah of course reading this gave me chills and excitement for the upcoming, Big L related, material that will be released. And all these statements are proof enough for me.

Sure, i always make sure to give the props to you guys and can't wait for anything new to discuss.

[The Big Sleep]

For sure.

Additional info: The DJ Max Glazer and On the Go Magazine D.I.T.C. interview took place back in July of '97, just before (as) the company was folding. It reportedly contains either pictures or detailed written accounts of Big L and Fat Joe slapboxing in the streets.

Very nice to see all the love for L. Thank you Sleep, amazing work. I think Nas talking about Big L would be nice here too. On the other hand, can you remove the devil's comments? This old man pisses me off, leave it in his tread next to this one, please. I'll read it there, when I'll be ready (already tried but can't get far each time).

L has accomplished a lot for the short time he was here and still, like Keith Murray sadly said ''I know it's hard for him to do so, but rest in peace Big L''. One love.

[The Big Sleep]

Sure brother, thanks for continuing to read it all. NaS would be great but he's nearly impossible to get a hold of so I doubt that'll work out.

Good call, L's father's comments have their own thread.

Word, peace man.

[LorDie]

Thanks man, always on point. Yeah the trip continue, next destination A Child of the Corner and 8 Iz Enuff / NFL Crew rarities. See what more I.U. has to say.

[The Big Sleep]

Good man, this is exactly what I like to see from a new forum member. Active participation, gratitude and a thirst for knowledge.
