  • Seattle’s Nirvana redefined rock music in the ‘90s as leaders of the grunge movement. Decades later, the band-and its late frontman, Kurt Cobain-continues to make an impact on hip-hop. More established artists influenced by Nirvana include JAY-Z, Lil Wayne, and Kid Cudi. The band has seen a resurgence with the newer generation as well, with the late rappers Lil Peep and XXXTentacion paying tribute to Nirvana in their music. Other recent examples include Denzel Curry and Lil Nas X.

      glockGotaDick Clout Cobain was about the industry and how some rappers are affected by it.
      Record Labels, help you get all the flashy cars and women that you rap about, but in turn you don’t have any freedom. That line wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, hence the circus theme, it’s a depiction of the dumb shit rappers always brag about. It’s less about him wanting to commit suicide but a reference to Cobain and how he was suicidal and pairing it with suicide doors on an expensive car.
      It also points out how people can’t catch onto certain things, until it’s too late.

      Agreed. All the others like Kurt's iconic image and how transcendent he was across music genres. Kurt was like Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley in that regard. Kid Kuddi is a fan of, and influenced by Rock Music. He's a multi-instrumentalist and it's fully incorporated into his music.
      That being said, Kurt and Nirvana as a whole; you heard the multi-genre influences they had in their Music. Blues, Punk, Metal, Heartland, Country, Hard Rock. Grunge descends from those genres.
      Rap and Hip-Hop today is complete stagnant and is all about following trends. Totally different from the 80s and 90s.

    Makes sense. West Coast/East Coast rivalry was brewing, was making airwaves. Grunge had just shook up the entire music world with Nirvana being the at the top in terms of success and recognition. This is what led to events in which Kurt and these other rap stars would’ve been present and could’ve met. In fact, there’s a photo of Kurt, Dre, and Snoop together in 92, right around the time The Chronic dropped and a year after Nirvanas Nevermind brought grunge to the masses. Let’s not forget Dre had already achieved fame with NWA. Hip hop and rock were both firing on all cylinders at this time. And I think the hip hop community had a lot of respect for Kurt, the face on the grunge billboard which revolutionized rock at the time and a man who stood firm in what he believed in. I feel what Kurt was to rock in the 90s was what PAC was to rap in the 90s. Iconic. Represents a group. Voice of a generation. Both men. It wasn’t a matter of Kurt just somehow had this special connection to hip hop. It was a matter of real recognizing real, even within completely different music genres
