Biggie was the embodiment of floating on a track. Dude could kick that arrogant nikka poetry with mad finesse.
Dude could spit a verse about tying his shoes over Mozart and make it sound like some of the flyest shyt ever just by the way he phrased shyt and glided over, under and in between melodies toying with beats like it was nothing.
I wish there was a HQ version of this shyt cause Biggie toe tagged that "no time" beat
I also always wanted to hear an extended version of that beat during his verse on "all about the Benjamins"
shyt was beautiful and once again biggie was floating over that bytch making it look easy.
Good God Almighty this nikka Biggie was a beast. Ain't been a flow as smooth and effortless since.
Yeah, the way big would- his rhyme style was effortlessly all over the place, if that makes sense.
Like he'd switch up flows and cadence mid-bar, rhyme the 2nd and last word of three bars straight, then rhyme the 4th bar with a word in the middle of another bar, rhyme the last words....
And he did all of this WITHOUT WRITING.... and DID IT FOR OTHER PEOPLE OF BOTH GENDERS. Like lil kim's Hardcore album. I was listening to Drugs, that shyt is crazy. Folks give crazy props to Hov for writing still D.R.E, but... listen to Biggies ghostwriting.
Biggie's skill level was truly on some savant shyt. Biggie is the true Hendrix of this hip hop shyt.
