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
:mjlol:Fashion sense? He was a bummy ass, dirty junkie who made some cool white boy songs. He was too lazy to shower or even care about fashion.

Hip hop was running the early to mid 90s until the teen pop boyband era in the late 90s. why are there black posters in here saying grunge and rock was over rap! Who gives a fukk if it sold more. Y'all sound dumb man

Dre was incorporating rock elements into rap before anyone outside of Seattle had ever heard of Nirvana. If anything he was a fan of their music, but I don't see much in the way of musical influence.

I said nothing about Kurt Cobain being responsible for Dre incorporating rock elements into his music, being the reason hip hop got "dark" or the reason people wear ripped jeans, jesus christ...I never even said he had an overt, direct influence on how people spit raps or program drums, but it seems like some nikkas in here a simple minded.

Dr. Dre, as one of the most influential figures in the culture as a whole being a fan of Nirvana gives you an idea where he sits in the consciousness of Hip Hop as a collective as your "favorite rappers favorite rocker" to flip that phrase.

There hasn't been a more iconic figure in rock music across the time line of the culture for rappers and fans to identify with. If there is a resurgence of rock-rap going on, I would say it's reasonable to surmise that he a substantial amount of influence on it. Two of the more influential artists that you can credit for that are huge fans of Nirvana and Kurt as an individual, I don't see how that can be reduced to zero influence. There has to be a little middle ground here, but this is the coli.

Think beyond your circle. No one said it was better. TRL whole concept was built around cac music. nikkas would slip through yes but that outlet wasn’t made for hip hop. Stop being naive.

He definitely has large influence over this crop of weirdo rap. But nah not the 90s heads. Though, unlike people in here frontin', I can say he was pretty much universally respected as someone who was dope in his respective world.
