    The background story: The dude who runs away has freestyled for about 30 minutes beforehand. Biggy celebrated him and asked him again and again if he could have the microphone. But the dude kept laughing at him. Maybe because of his appearance. But he didn't know that one of the greatest rappers in history was standing next to him, and you know the rest.

    It's truly mind boggling the incredible gifted talent that Biggie had when he spat out improvised words that rhymed and with an evenly matching rhythm. Biggie's rapping was so incredible, that all he needed was someone to beatbox and his rapping would carry the beats into a world of imagination. In my opinion, Biggie was to rapping what Michael Jackson was to dancing.
