Biggie lost the Demo battle cause that was raw/uncut Biggie. His songmaking ability was not polished yet so he would just spit bar after bar. Once that demo got into the right hands the rest was history. Again show me a video of Tupac rhyming this good at the age of 17? Biggie came up from battling on the streets of New York, Hip Hop's Birthplace how most emcees get their start:

big was doing useless battling at 17 and pac was rapping about things like this
As real as it seems the American Dream
Ain't nothing but another calculated scheme
To get us locked up shot up back in chains
To deny us of the future rob our names
Kept my history a mystery but now I see
The American Dream wasn't meant for me
Cause lady liberty is a hypocrite she lied to me
Promised me freedom, education, equality
Never gave me nothing but slavery
And now look at how dangerous you made me
Calling me a mad man cause I'm strong and bold
With this dump full of knowledge of the lies you told
Promise me emancipation indispute nation
All you gave my people was our patience
Fathers of our country never cared for me
They kept my ancestors shackled up in slavery
And Uncle Sam never did a dam thing for me
Except lie about the facts in my history
So now I'm sitting hear mad cause I'm unemployed
But the government's glad cause they enjoyed
When my people are down so they can screw us around
Time to change the government now panther power
