Yeah, Biggie had decent flow but it's not the best flow in hip-hop.
The guy was obviously talented, I just don't feel like he ever produced what he was capable of. His albums smacked of gimmick, they contained far too much filler and for every one glimpse of greatness, there were 10 sub-par moments. In my opinion that is.
I also find it interesting, Biggie choose eating at Mcdonalds as his analogy as if he'd never frequented a fast food joint.

Yeah because Eminem's stale ass crap about bringing his daughter up to have the life he never had and protecting her from the spotlight by talking about her every second line is the very best of hip-hop.
