Jadakiss appeared on a recent Drink Champs episode where he discussed his respect for Big L, and a battle between Big L and Styles P that he called furious.
"Big L is that n---a,' he said. "They gave him his flowers after he was dead, they should have gave them when he was here, I guess it was too much goin' on, or just how the world is."
Jada described an encounter with Big L before The Lox signed to Bad Boy. "We were downtown on 139th gettin some weed from Buzz Me In, the old spot that used to be there, and he was in front of the fried chicken spot. Styles P got out and they got into a furious one." Kiss explained that there weren't camera phones at the time. "There was nothin' around to record it, but we got cool with him after we found out about Children of The Corn (a group consisting of Big L, Ma$e, Cam'ron, McGruff and Bloodshed). Big L was one of the first young dudes to make it. Shout out to D.I.T.C. for seeing the talent way back when he was a youngster"
