What influence did Kurt Cobain have on Hip Hop?

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

I saw a recent Onyx interview on vladtv and they mentioned that their hood was messing with one of his songs back in the day and it inspired them as a group. Then I started thinking about how many times I heard his name dropped in various songs so I want to see how deep this goes. So what influence do you think Kurt Cobain has had on Hip Hop If any @ all and what are some references to him and/or his music?

None whatsoever

He did mumble like a motherfukka on some songs especially Teen Spirit but I doubt it influenced hip hop lol

As a punchline

Fashion wise he still has influence. Ripped jeans and "clout glasses" are still in style right now. Otherwise he's just someone rappers feel cool to reference.

next thread

kurt cobain is just used as a surface level soundbite for fugazi rappers who try to pander to their cac ass audience and act like they're "different"...."look, I don't just know about hip hop...i listen to this too " foh

garauntee you ask 95% of them what the name of the album was that came after nevermind they'd say some sh_t like "in uterus"

Can't agree with this so far

At the most people everywhere respected him and his fashion sense.. Denying it is trying too hard.. He wasn't black but he was one of the few cool white dudes

none of those trends in fashion came back as a direct response to studying kurt cobain.

Influence doesn't have to be just incorporating a nikkas vocal style into your own

I ain't one of them lyrical miracle drones don't group me in with yall

i don't think he had influence on hip hop. Great songwriter nonetheless.

ZERO. He was a depressed white fakkit. Any rapper that says otherwise just has their balls in the hands white/jewish record execs.
