I found out recently from a friend who's REALLY familiar with hip hop of all sorts that biggie, back when he was alive, never wrote anything down. Everytime he went into a booth he would sit and spit right from the top of his head.
Now, can you imagine being puffy, coming up with some beat, start playing it in the booth, and just watching biggie create an entire song around it? imagine Hypnotize, with the bass hitting then biggie just poppin: "Uh, sicka than ya average, poppa twist cabbage off instinct, n*ggas dont think shit stink- pink gators- my detroit playas, timbs for my hooligans in brooklyn,"
damn. awesome shit if its true. Since he wrote nothing, that's supposedly why there are no 'lost tapes' or anything of him, unlike tupac who wrote and wrote and wrote and put it ALL to tape before making an album.
