Usually a good writer will be able to depict violence not in a way that glorifies it, but in a way informs, or conveys a certain feeling or story.

Kinda like the difference between a Saw film and 12 years a slave.

No, there was a hint of introspection in biggies lyrics.

A sense that he wasn't necessarily proud of the violence. And most of his violent lyrics were in songs where he's telling a story that the listener knows is fictional, or the violence is used to convey a feeling that otherwise could not be.

Most of his lyrics about himself and his own place in the world were very conscious of the implications of violence.

I disagree with the reasoning but we know many are on/in that frame of mind when they act like there is a big leap content rise from let's say late mid 90s Biggie or late 90's jay z and and some of the more commercial shyt that came up from the South like Cash Money
