Hes only being acknowledged now by younger cats cuz its the cool thing to do ....Nobody back in the early 90s in hip hop gave a fukk about Nirvana or grunge rock

These older heads doing tributes is just disingenuous.They know full well it wasnt cool to be digging Pearl Jam and Nirvana back then,in fact you would have gotten clowned for it...

None.

He was a major factor in the music scene, but he didn't do anything that made the rap game shift.

Find anyone in hip hop referencing him or his music before he blew his brains out. I am from the mecca, grew up in the golden age, he had zero influence. shyt Hall and Oates have been sampled plenty of times and even got play in the hood. It doesn't mean they had influence on hip hop culture.

Look at the liner notes of your favorite artists and see how many say rip Kurt Cobain. Look up concert footage and see how many shouted him out since he was such an influence. FOH

As a punchline

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

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

He’s only “referenced” because he killed himself, ya’ll act like nikkas are on tracks quoting Lithium

Here’s How Jay-Z Used Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ on ‘Holy Grail’

None of yall cats was even talkin about clout goggles till I made the connection some days ago

Being aware of someone doesn't mean they had influence. We gave zero fukks about grunge in hip hop. Read the definition of influence.

Pretty God damn shameful

Tom Tom Club had more of an influence with that one song than Kurt Cobain ever did

Like other posters have said before, he's just an easy name drop for alternative fukkboys to say when they trying to look cool & "different".

Ian Connor and mad other folks have been doing the same shyt with Morrissey/The Smiths & Joy Division.
