Did Biggie bite King Tee style?

[C-clamp]

Just a question for you guys, i've been listening to a lot of king tee lately, the iv life album, thy kingdom come, ruthless chronicles, and it's amazing how similar biggie and king tee's flow are.  Just listen to "speak on it" from kingdom come, or "super nigga" from iv life, and you would swear it was biggie spittin those lines.  Now I know king tee's been putting out albums since like 88, so do you guys think biggie bit his styles?  I can't help but think he did, it's just too similar

Let me know what you guys think.

no

I think biggie was an extremely adept emcee who put together the best elements of all of our favorite rappers to bring us what alot of magazines call the complete package...when I listen to biggie I hear

- nas
- kool g rap
- lord finesse
- ice cube
- slick rick
- dr dre
- method man
- rakim
and even a few more that slip my mind at this moment....

and jay z kinda took all this in added his own twist on it threw in a few other artists into this gumbo....( big L , snoop)

dre?

damn now didnt biggie give king tee props.. i remember hearing/reading this recently.. anyone recall?

I don't know, when i hear some king tee songs, sometimes i could swear it was biggie, the flows are almost identical, just listen to some of his songs of the iv life album, or "speak on it" from thy kingdom come, i swear those flows sound identical to me.  

I'm not saying this to take anything away from  biggie, cause the man made amazing music, but i can't help but think he must have been influenced a lot by king t.

I mean we already know that he liked a lot of west coast artists, especially too short and snoop, so who's to say he didn't listen to king tee

puffy said dre was a huge influence on biggie...he said biggie studied the chronic...the skits ..the concepts, you see where Im going with this? not necessarilly lyrically but as an artist.

Yeah I read that as well, that he listened to a lot of King Tee and was influenced by him.

Man, I made a thread about a year ago about how King T and Biggie sound similar and everyone said I was crazy.  I've always thought they sounded similar as hell.

Yup I remember reading that. He showed mad love to Tee.

"baybaay".......from the flows of at your own risk,and the triflin' album,the answer would be yes.

Biggie loved the westcoast

plain & simple, it evident in his style.

Does that justify Guerilla Black's sound, saying he sounds eastcoast like Biggie? 

Well, I never noticed any King T influence in Biggie's style but that's probably just me.
