Kobain did not care about negras.

Neither do you.

Coulda been your bff.

Nirvana fans should peep Live Through This by Hole..It's Nirvana's unofficial third album.

Who wants to school me on Cobain? Where does his legend come from?

Timing really. The big deal with Nirvana is that they were unlike anything that had come out in the mainstream at the time (I emphasize mainstream). Cobain didn't ask for his popularity(It lead to his demise).

They filled a niche that was needed in the music industry at the time. Most people didn't really relate to all of that crap that was in the mainstream in the 80s.

Basically, Nirvana filled a niche that may seem cliche and overwrought now but that was grossly lacking at the time: angst. Despite what anyone may think of it, it's something that most everyone can relate to.

There's also a huge difference between the corporate "emo" crap that is basically all just manufactured, scene angst, and "true" angst, where people actually speak about pain that people can relate to rather than just whining about how horrible their lives are.

Nirvana falls more into the "true angst" category, when the whole corporate angst fad hadn't yet caught on. People tend to confuse any kind of angst with whining. Just because something is angsty doesn't mean it's whiny.

Kobain once wore a wedding dress. Maybe Cee Lo too found his Blackness thru Nirvana

@Cac Destroyer Sorry breh, but I'm going to need receipts . Eve clearly didn't cancel and Courtney seemed pretty nice/normal in the clip. I heard she's friends with Jay and Ye too.

I have to at myself for falling for that. Courtney made some dope music too.

I edited the post, nikka. She did say nikka to one of her girls before Eve arrived, and was acting like I said. I doubt Eve saw that. Who cares who she's friends with, I can tell how she really feels down low. fukk that ho, stop gassing her up cos u think she a pawg

I'm a fan of Nirvana myself, but this was a poorly written article that doesn't address anything about ones blackness and makes the author sound like a whiny fakkit...

As much as I dislike white people feeling entitled to say nikka, I honestly don't think she's racist. She doesn't have a pattern of this sort of behavior, and you don't see it in her daughter either (who like Kurt frequently sticks up for black people).

And supposedly a coli member smashed back in the day .
