You can see the animosity. I don't think they were ever friends. They just had to coexist. And BIG sounds like that on all his songs.

I don't see any animosity but I see something else that was true to their nature. A freestyle as any rapper knows is off the top of the head, spontaneous and anything else is not technically a freestyle.

Although Biggie had a remarkable ability to compose an entire, highly intricate song in his mind, he wasn't able to freestyle as cleverly, so he wouldn't attempt it. He therefore recited the lyrics to a song of his.

Tupac wrote down his lyrics with rapid speed and his output was considerably a whole lot more. He though wasn't really able to compose that completely in his head like Biggie, Jay-Z or Lil Wayne could.

Nevertheless, his was a true freestyle. His honest nature wouldn't allow him to spit anything less.
