I'm no rap expert, and I've only heard a limited number of songs from either of these guys, but I personally like Tupac more. Biggie seemed more like some sort of gangsta novelty bling rap (yeah, I'm not sure what it means either), good when you want to get down at a club but not really for normal listening (not for me anyway). Tupac is just easier to listen to and has better flow.

Although I'm not black, I grew up with not much money. I felt like Biggie told stories better, like he knew what life in the ghetto was like. Tupac seemed to exaggerate police brutality and white people hating black people etc etc. Tupac was like a preacher but a hypocrite. Talking about change and stopping the violence when on another song he would brag about killing. And I highly doubt Tupac has killed or would've killed somebody. Rappers (unless you're DMX, Ol' Dirty Bastard, or the old Snoop Dogg) pretty much seem to be all talk.
I like Biggie more, but I do like Tupac.

Perhaps you can give me some idea where to start with Biggie to expand my knowledge a little?

I'd say get Ready to Die and Life After Death and hear them in that order. In a way they're both concept albums, sort of a semi-autobiography that incorporates a lot of fiction and godfather like crime drama. Getting out of jail going from a nobody to a rap superstar, attemping to kill himself and then getting back to his old ways with his new rich and powerful status before getting assasinated. At least that's how I understood the loose narrative.
