Didn't Cobain body hisself?

He ate a Shotgun which is a bitch move, and his music was depressing.

good question, an original thread for once.

I say Kurt - Nirvana stays in rotation on rock stations and music channels, new generations will continue to discover his music for decades to come. Pac has the same impact but to a lesser extent, less of his material stays in rotation and gets discovered by the youth and it will continue to age for the worse while Nirvana's music is more timeless.

basically, Nirvana created a genre/movement and had a legendary impact. Pac just came and went within a pre-existing formula, then was praised and hyped by everyone more after his death

I'd say about the same.....they were both loved, changed/affected the games in some way and both were legends whether you liked their music or not...

Pac! No need to give a reason. We all know

Black_Samson

equal.

Cobain changed an entire Genre of Music. affected fashion.... and affected peoples thought process...
he made it cool to smell like a wet cigarette butt...

how you kill yourself cleaning a gun tho?

Pac did the same, but made it cool to be a thug with a heart so to speak....

Not too familiar with Kobain other then the fact that he helped start a movement in Rock and he offed himself. I wonder If people have just HIM in there top 5 instead of Nirvana. If that were the case then this would be a solid argument If not Pac wins this hands down.

ay that's a really good point - his movies are definitely immortal. although MTV stays playing Nirvana Unplugged like every month so i see much more of Kurt on TV

mindright

Kurt Cobain

He changed rock music and created a sub-genre of rock music and fashion.
I like Pac as much as the next guy, but he don't really compare to Cobain whatsoever other than the fact they died too young and were stars in their categories of music.

a lot of ignorant responses in here just because that man took his own life

Black_Samson

bruce lee influenced a generation of Con-Artist and Charlatans...

Bruce was a smart man, but he was also a man who ONLY beat can's and nobodies....

Bruce Lee = Frank Dux if you think about it...

strongly disagree.

that Grundge look...

Tommy bilfiger

Cobain impacted his genre while alive,pac ruined hip hop when he was alive and only became this world famous person after death

The answer is Kobain

Say What

Kurt. Rockers was dressing like chicks when he started this whole grunge thing. Its the first rock group I ever liked. Pac was doing what paid. If he would of signed with Puffy he would of had a shinny suit

NothingButTheTruth

Black people started Rock, so Cobain didn't do shit, nor did he mean shit to the genre. He's just a fiend that OD'd.

Pac had some songs that are straight up gems and timeless, so I'm rocking with Pac all day.

Yamoley

only Nirvana song I've ever heard was Teen Spirit
Kurt Cobain >>>Tutu Shakur

post is rife with inaccuracies....

Kurt. But really thats not saying much though.

I'm THAT guy...

The fact that Kurt created his own genre so to speak give's him the win

deathrowzorrow

nigga who is kurt kobain??

all I know is that life is good drops july 17

Well I'm gonna say Kurt on a strictly musical argument but you will never see a kurt cobain hologram because while he did change rock/grunge that genre has fallen off whereas rap/hip hop has become even more popular. Pac surely factored into that somehow
