    Pun was already on his way to possibly being a big crossover hit into the mainstream, but which artist do you think would go on to have a better career (however u define that, sales, acclaim, discography etc)

    I feel like Pun could have appealed to a wider audience & made more radio friendly type songs.

    Don't get me wrong Big Pun was an amazing rapper but Big L was amazing with nearly everything he said

    He was mf doom before doom was popular.

    tough to say but Pun probably had a better shot, L was great but a bit one dimensional

    Pun. Big L was more underground while Pun was more mainstream

    Pun would've been too fat to rap at some point. Gotta go with L.

    Not sure I see the comparison to MF DOOM (btw use all caps when u say the man name ffs)

    Big L style was mostly centered around punchlines and double entendre I wouldn't say he was like DOOM in that aspect, who is more of an implied whit kind of guy
