Biggie was already TNBIG in 1992.

...so is this song a fake or not? Was this ever debunked?
As well as The Notorious BIG on Dolly My Baby & Real Love remix....both from 1992.The Source |Unsigned Hype Revisited: The Notorious B.I.G. (March, 1992)

Did he ever officially record anything as Biggie Smalls?

Interesting, I'm doing a little digging in the crates now,
and I just found out that a bay area rapper named Dre Dog dropped a album in 1993
that featured the same beats Puffy used for Juicy and Big Poppa
Unless these beats were popular samples back then, maybe Puffy got inspired by this dude
And I dont think that takes away from the greatness of Puff and Bigg,
Sometimes dope beats can end up in the wrong hands

Nah "Notorios B1" is definitely slick tho cause Biggie was calling himself Big Poppa on super cat's 1992 single Dolly my baby. So "Notorious B1" aka "Big Daddy", who dropped 1993 got some explaining to do.Big Daddy = Big Poppa
Puff ain’t slick
I found the album on this site
now, unless this is some elaborate joke, it seems real
If it’s not a coincidence so what? It’s well known artists have had songs given. stolen, copied, or bought or some form of help with songs in the music industry and its a regular practice. Any mainstream artist with multiple hits are 100% guilty of this in some form or fashion.
This explains why Big didn’t want to do Juicy but also how Puff has a ear for hit records. This doesn’t take away from Bigs legacy in my opinion. It just shows how the music industry is and how with the right amount of marketing and talent magic happens.

Being from the Bay and growing up around legendary underground Bay Area rappers, I can tell you Bay rappers sampled hella songs before East Coast rappers did. But you also have to realize a lot of these sampled songs weren’t obscure records. Mtume “Juicy Fruit” was one of the biggest R&B records of the fukking 80’s. They still play that song on classic R&B radio to this day.
Also, a lot of rappers pattern themselves after underground rappers that are relatively unknown in the mainstream. Snoop patterned his early rap style after D-Loc and Richie Rich from 415 from Oakland. But Snoop admits this. He even used the same sample for “Gz and Hustlaz” as 415 did on “Snitches and bytches”. Everybody patterns themselves after somebody. Nas sounds like G Rap mixed with Rakim. Biggie sounds nothing like that B1 dude though.
The only weird coincidence is his name being Notorious B1, him being fat and calling himself big daddy. I know big name rappers with the machine behind them are known to low key steal game from underground rappers. Sort of like how Jay Z said “I got 99 problems but a bytch ain’t one” in 2003 when local Bay Area legend Cellski from my old block in Frisco said that same phrase on “On the Grind” in 94’.
