How did Biggie and Pun have crazy breath control at their weights?

those nikkas could not walk up a flight of stairs without being winded, but could get in a booth and spit verses with effortless ease. I've rapped before and that shyt isnt easy and I'm in shape. that I'd mystifying how they did it.

Big Pun punched in alot. Also his breath control was terrible by his second album.
:ohhh:

"When Pun does his verse, he punches every line. That’s some behind the scenes sh** that nobody would know. The way he spits it is like a machine gun. I saw how it was done, that was the first time I ever seen anyone do that. That’s his technique and it worked for him. It was ill.”

Larger diaphgram? . Prolly why the best opera singers was fat too and Gospel?

Good thought, but diaphragmatic hypertrophy isn't something described in those with lung disease. After your diaphragm reaches its limit you recruit your intercostal and scalene muscles, and in most severe cases pecs when you're tri podding.

In the obese patient the upright vs recumbent vs exercise pulmonary physiology is vastly different. Rapping is completely doable.

All these rappers punch in like crazy. Rza said raekwon does like 25 tracks for one verse. Must be a big guy thing.

I have no problem with it. Its easy to fukk up a part of the verse while having 90 prfent right.

punchin in ain't bad it's only for what reason u doing it for

in pun case sometimes he would be gasping for air so in terms of breathe control he was kinda of bad. that's not to say his flow was bad that just means he ran out of breathe fast.
