The Notorious B.I.G ruined HIp Hop/ Rap

-Introduction- So...pro decides to ditch the argument just like people in the majority of my other debates did. Why can't you continue debating with me? So many people do not respond to their challenge, and give up. I don't get why one would do that. You had over 3 days to respond. There should've been no excuse to not at least forfeiting earlier instead of making me wait. If you start a debate, you Noam Chomsky once said, "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." Even if you feel like you'd lose, you should at least try to fight back. In real life, you'd fight back if you were hit by a strong force so why not here? It doesn't make sense. Well, anyways, lets begin round two. I hope that you will be polite enough next time to respond earlier, or post an argument.

During Biggie's time, many New York rappers weren't selling well due to the west coast's success. Later, when Biggie rose to popularity by never giving up, his popularity led to him having anxiety. He feared that after the success of his "Ready To Die" album, that somebody would want to hurt him. Nevertheless, he continued to release his albums to compete in the rap game. Biggie's ideology to never give up no matter how many hardships he had to overcome is something that many take example from now. Many rappers came to success by overcoming hardships just like Biggie did. For example, Eminem had to overcome the speculations that he was a homophobe, and the racism that was directed towards him because he was white. Many rappers that are famous, or rich having taken examples from Biggie's ability to never give up. Even if you still think that Biggie was bad for rap, you have to realize that he gave rappers a major inspiration along with Tupac. http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com...

Pro, you lack evidence that Biggie ruined rap. What you stated in round one is merely opinion, and does not prove anything. You also did not cite your sources. You could've had the chance to show evidence in round two, but instead, you decided not to do anything. If you wanted to prove anything, you could've used videos too. Because you didn't do the second round, I kept on needing to refer back to your first argument that only has mere opinion. Next time, don't use opinion only in a debate.

Biggie's kindness towards Tupac even after being dissed in Tupac's "Hit Em Up" (video 4) shows that Biggie wanted to simply entertain his audience instead of causing drama. Tupac, and Biggie will be always been taken as legends in rap, and their legacy will live on for future generations of rap. http://www.youtube.com...
