Plus, L had the underground and rap battle circuit background which would make him a fierce freestyler and battle rapper.
What underground experience did Biggie have? What rap battle experience did Biggie have?
If you put the two of them one on one, L would slaughter Biggie.

Yeah that's another thing, there's some proper toss on his albums, that interlude on Ready to Die is just awful. The Intro is bad too. There are no interludes on either of L's studio albums.
Didn't Biggie battle though? I swear there are videos of him on street corners battling?
But yeah L was wittier with the punchlines and humour.
