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.
I recall one song, I want to say Gimme The Loot or Story to Tell but I can't remember (they all blend into one for me) where there was a 20-30 second outro of him coughing up from a blunt. Who felt that was necessary to include in a studio album?

He may have, but to my knowledge he had no prolific background in it. He sure wasn't as revered as L was, if he was at all.

L had a style that was all his own incorporating as you say an element of dark humour with his nonchalant use of 'street' terminology.
Biggie was basically the East's answer to the success guys like Dre and Snoop were having on the other coast.
