Minnesota said B.I.G. didn't write his verse on paper for this too. He just came up with it over time, on the spot. Mumbling to himself. They played the beat, and he put it together right there. Minnesota said he told Pudgee that he had to put Tariq on the record, if he wanted the beat dirt cheap. He said that's how the record came about.
And Nashiem, Easy Mo Bee and mad other dudes said B.I.G. wasn't writing on Life After Death either. Dude would sit and just come up with sh*t as the beats played.
Guru always speaks about how he would be in the studio with Jay and watch him come up with verses without paper, and would go back and forth between different rooms recording multiple songs at the same time with sh*t he came up with on the spot. If you do that sh*t enough, you'll get dope at it.
