Platinum Plus Lyrics


Yo yo what the fuck, man? Big L takin' over the streets
Flamboyant entertainment
What y’all bout to witness, Big L
My whole crew wild, the game is called rap
Other MCs, they ain’t got a chance at all
My whole crew wild
What y’all bout to witness, Big L
My whole crew wild, the game is called rap
Other MCs, they ain’t got a chance at all
My whole crew wild
Yo, I’m straight loco, to Hell with you an' your broke hoe
You ain’t a big dog, you more like Toto, you got no dough
I smoke ’dro mixed with cocoa, strong as bolo
I pack a fo’ fo’, platinum ro ro, anti-homo, that’s a no-no
So fuck po’po’, I push the 740 an' not the Volvo
C town push the 600
I’m with a bitch on dolo, chips from here to Acapulco
While y’all buck for legs, I buck for heads

I even buck celebs, nigga, fuck the Feds
My underground niggaz, y’all can shine with me
Got my own label now, so y’all can sign with me
Y’all can take me from the bottom an' climb with me
That’s fine with me, that’s how it was designed to be
Aiyyo, gats we bust, backs we crush
Only hot tracks we lust, crazy stacks we clutch
An' we need plaques to touch that say platinum plus
'Cause half of you niggaz that’s rappin' now is whack to us
Aiyyo, gats we bust, backs we crush
Only hot tracks we lust, crazy stacks we clutch
An' we need plaques to touch that say platinum plus
'Cause half of you niggaz that’s rappin' now is whack to us
An' cats still wonder, can they get as hot as he been?
That probably depends, let me show you how to begin
Bang chicks in Marriott's, down to quality inns
Hit the bar, spend cash like Monopoly ends
Plushed out, rock gators an' exotical skins
Come in the hood, flippin' the chicken an' broccoli timbs
Niggaz, come in the game, block they shot at the rim
That ain’t in you? The fuck you gon’ possibly win?
I do it, ’Booty calls’ on the Blackstreet Teddy tip
Keep a steady grip, make cream just like ready whip
Heavy with styles that’s the deadliest
Cats on that petty shit, watch how much lead he get
You tryin' to go places, chasin' oasis
About nothin', gettin' low wages
Drink Hennessey with no chasers
Right hook is like Joe Frasier’s, I’m the bodacious
Body parts are big an' like Schwarz-a-niggaz
Smokin' Garcia Vega, tryin' to get the larger paper
If you block the cash, we lockin' ass
I’ma put it in your chest like a stalkin' past
Only out to earn figures like we please
But I don’t mind to burn niggaz like CDs
Now, exhibit styles I kick with it
Pardon me, but I’m fuckin' sick widdit
Aiyyo, gats we bust, backs we crush
Only hot tracks we lust an' crazy stacks we clutch
An' we need plaques to touch that say platinum plus
'Cause half of you niggaz that’s rappin' now is whack to us
Aiyyo, gats we bust, backs we crush
Only hot tracks we lust an' crazy stacks we clutch
An' we need plaques to touch that say platinum plus
'Cause half of you niggaz that’s rappin' now is whack to us
Other MCs, they ain’t got a chance at all
My whole crew wild, what y’all bout to witness
Big L, my whole crew wild, the game is called rap
Other MCs, they ain’t got a chance at all
My whole crew wild, what y’all bout to witness
Big L, my whole crew wild
Other MCs, they ain’t got a chance at all
My whole crew wild, what y’all bout to witness, Big L
Other MCs, they ain’t got a chance at all
What y’all bout to witness, Big L, my whole crew wild
My whole crew wild , what y’all bout to witness, Big L

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Lamont Coleman (May 30, 1974 in Harlem, New York – February 15, 1999), also known by his stage name Big L, was an American rapper who made significant contributions to the New York City music scene in the 1990s as a member of the hip hop collective D.I.T.C. In February 1999, Big L was shot and killed before releasing his second album. Members of the hip hop community consider him to be one of the most skilled MC's of all-time.

Big L's debut solo album, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, was released in March 1995. The album featured guest appearances from a number of artists, notably Kid Capri, Lord Finesse, and at the time, an unknown Cam'Ron, and Jay-Z. Two singles, "M.V.P" and "Put It On", were released from the album, both of which reached the top twenty-five of Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks. The album itself also reached the Billboard 200. From 1997 to 1999, Big L worked on his second album The Big Picture. The album featured cameos from Fat Joe, Kool G Rap, Tupac Shakur, and Big Daddy Kane among others. Jay-Z has said that Big L was set to sign with his Roc-A-Fella label, but died the week before. The Big Picture would be his last recorded album, released posthumously in August 2000. It was put together by his manager and partner in Flamboyant Entertainment, Rich King. It contains songs that L had recorded and a cappella recordings that were never used, completed by producers and guest MCs that Big L respected or had worked with previously. The album was certified gold a month later.

Lamont was killed in the doorway of 45 West 139th Street in Harlem on February 15, 1999, after being shot 23 times in the eye and chest. Gerard Woodley, one of Big L's childhood friends, was arrested in May 1999 for the crime. At the time of his death, L had two brothers in prison. "It's a good possibility it was retaliation for something [Big L's] brother did, or [Woodley] believed he had done," said a spokesperson for the NYPD. Woodley was later released and the murder case remains unsolved.

Big L's brother was later shot and stopped breathing in the same neighborhood while searching for clues relating to his brother's murder.

Gang Starr has made a tribute to Big L on their Sirius/XM satellite radio show and a song entitled "Full Clip".
