how come King Tee being a influence on Biggie is never mentioned on here?

[Scotch Hall]

AllHipHop.com: I was talking to Tha Liks a few years back, and they said that P. Diddy once told them that Biggie Smalls considered you an inspiration for his rhyme style.

King T: He was such a great rapper and MC. If he found some influence in me, hey, what can I say? We knew each other back then. I’m not going to say that he got his style from me. Hearing his records, he was a great influence on me, too.

Ice T also said that Biggie told him King Tee was his favorite rapper :ohh:

DX: And I want to talk to you about King Tee, another of my heroes.
Ice-T: He was [Notorious B.I.G.'s] favorite fukkin' emcee! Let's go there. Biggie said, when he came to L.A. They're very similar. [Laughs]

DX: King T, besides Spoonie Gee's "cheeba, cheeba, y'all" is one of the first emcees to rhyme about smokin' weed.
Ice-T: He had a thing he used to make rhymes, he called it the "drunk technique." He had to be the right amount of drunk to get on the mic. If he got too drunk, he couldn't spit. If he wasn't drunk enough, it wouldn't came out. Sometimes it would take days to get to the right focus point. [Laughing]

I see some chubb rock in Biggie

Actually, King T sounded just like biggie on that song posted

A lot of people here are aren't old enough to know, or maybe they just weren't big fans of both.
It's really obvious on certain joints on Ready to Die, Biggie just took the style and advanced it.

I see some chubb rock and Godfather Don in Biggie

King T? Naw

Listen to some classic King Tee then go listen to the "Party & Bullshyt", the album version of "One More Chance" & "Dreams".

Growing up I listened to a lot of West Coast music & I always found similarities between T & Big but never paid much mind to it.

Is this interview with Ice T old or new? Never seen it before

 

[FreshAIG]

It's been mentioned quite a few times on here

Maybe try listening to the King Tee material that predates Big's first appearance (1993).
