Again, I listened to his song "My Downfall" all morning long...I've heard this song about 10000000 times. But, I've been studying Biggie's technique (flow/delivery/presence) alot lately. And, what I discovered is that he is brilliant with flow.

#1...In the song "My Downfall" I purposely counted through the beat to keep track of the "snare." Biggie Completely disregards the snare and basically raps to his own cadence. The amazing thing about him doing this is that his flow is "on beat", but NO WHERE, NO WHERE near the cadence. I mean, it almost sounds like his voice is the "beat" and the actual beat is melding around it. AMAZING!

I appreciate how Biggie said what he said more than his actual lyrics, though he was a master at metas.


Lots of people claim to be "better" than Biggie. But, when you go back and study the man's fundamentals, he's unbelieveably gifted and talented.
