if you narrow it to "GRUNGE Rock" tho.....Kurt's death fucking killed Grunge single-handedly........like when Big died, major label execs were scared it was gonna kill Rap Music like Kurt's death killed Grunge

make it "Alternative Rock" and then its a toss-up lol

Pac is considered as THE GOAT in Hip Hop to most.

I have never heard anyone say Kurt Cobain was the GOAT Rock N Roll artist.


Kurt had his whole life ahead of him instead of making a song about his depression he took his own life.
While Pac had his life taken from him.


Pac made more and better music and was in movies.

Kurt made good songs but not as good. Pac is the most influential EMCEE of all time.

easily Pac. Hiphop was barley 15 years in the mid 90's, while Rock had at least 35 years worth of history in the mid 90's.

Nirvana didn't create grunge, it was the sound that was hot in Seattle at the time. they and Pearl Jam brought it to the main stream. nirvana cobain gets the credit cuz he died young.

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

Tupac Shakur may be gone, but he’s still winning awards. Actually, his hologram won the prestigious Titanium and Integrated Lions Award at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Nirvana changed not only rock but popular music period... Before him there were only pretty sounding new wave bands, super bubble gum pop stars and glamorous over produced records on the radio.

Upon Nirvana's release of Nevermind, they broke the walls down and brought the punk "DIY mentality" back to the for front, combining the pop music with punk (Grunge is what idiots and critics say), and opening the door for all these other similar bands who were already doing there thing.

You no longer needed to have a stadium band, thousand dollars of equipment, shiny suits, pretty hair, and 4 minute guitar solos to get radio play.

Cobain just brought original three man rock back and destroyed all these "bubblegum artist" with there perfect sound.

While Pac is highly influential as a person, his genre was hip hop and nothing he did drastically changed the way hip hop sounded sonically. At most he inspired a hand full of people to speak up for themselves, but most people inspired by Pac who did music, just became the delusional thugs who are ruining music today.

Kurt by a landslide, he gave the art back to artist. Not to mention Cobain's lyrics are unparalleled by any ive seen in any genre since him.

Also, it is under heavy debate as to whether Kurt Cobain actually committed suicide for all yall making ignorant comments. The slightest bit of research about his death, and you will quickly find that all evidence almost absolutely points to homicide/

when pac died he had 2 gold albums and one plat album

He had to die to sell records and all his movies were d list straight to dvd type flicks ,his impact was after death son had to die to be called "goat"

His revisionist dickriders think he ran the rap game that never happened

Nirvana for real.
Cobain & Nirvana sort of changed popular rock music. The difference before and after them, even with limited material is maddening.

Pac didn't say anything that Chuck D or Ice-T or Ice Cube hadn't already said. He was re-treading social consciousness, not exploring anything new, he also sold out and started making primarily "gangsta" rap virtually abandoning his social commentary roots.

Word P.E. and Ice cube already dropped socially conscious music while tupack was a bacc up dancer/dressed like brother j from the x clan on same song

Then he started spittin at cameras/coonin and rapin our sistas and gettin locked up.Pac was a lame

Kurt Cobain and Pac brought philosophy into their music by expressing thought.

I don't want to start anything, but when people start saying they liked everything Pac has done....why the fuck Rap music sound they way it is?

Your facts are bullshit.

While Pac was alive

2pacalypse was Gold

Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z was Plat

THUGLIFE-GOLD

Me Against The World was Plat

All Eyes On Me Went 5x Plat just in 2months while Pac was still alive.



If your not a troll then Pac must have done something to someone in your family.
All the shit you're saying is not true at all it just shows how retarded and delusional you are.


And straight to DVD Movies? JUICE is a classic Poetic Justice/and Gang Related are dope
ya boy 50 is the one doing straight to DVD movies looking flabby n sick and getting no Oscar nominations.

Think before you speak cause those "facts" your posting is completely made up fairy tale bullshit.

The hate you have for Pac is funny and at the same time sad.

5 albums released before his death: 2 gold, 1 platinum , 2 multi platinum before he died

And Thug Life was not a compilation it was a group album with Pac appearing on 8 of the 10 tracks

Its cool to have your opinion but dont try to change facts

usmarin3

Nirvana accomplished in 1 album in what Pac did in 4 albums and some bs to gain popularity (going in and out of jail, shooting niggas,etc).

Nevermind's impact on rock>>>>>>any Pac album's impact on hip hop

This is a hip hop forum, so Kurt might mostly get shitted on here.

True... but Nirvana started a whole genre... and countless bands were inspired by Nirvana, even when Kurt was alive.

Anyone who knows Tori Amos knows she's kind of a big deal... this would be equivalent to Rakim sampling a local cat's song

Thug life vol. 1 is not a compilation but whatever , it only went gold while he was alive.
And he had 5 gold or platinum singles while alive

yea man. In his book, Chuck D talked about attending summits w/ other rap legends hosted by music execs who were genuinely worried about the music's viability going forward after Big's death.....I mean you gotta realize back then ppl kinda took it as a given that Snoop or somebody else was next. I remember the Philly Daily News headline on March 10th was "RAP TAKES ANOTHER B.I.G. HIT". It really seemed plausible for a minute that rap music could just fall off the map cuz all its stars were getting killed.

BobOblah

Nirvana made a sub-genre of rock popular and changed the direction of rock (they didn't invent grunge). Also, grunge is dead. Who listens to it now? Rap is more popular than ever.

Ounceman

Both were pretty influential in their own right. especially their posthumous releases. but if we are to say whose impact is still felt to day i would have to give it to pac.

kurt was neither the first nor the best artist within the grunge genre. but he still came out with great music and he was the one who popularized it and brought it to the forefront. he was also synonomous with the generation-x movement of the 90's. but for the most part after his death, grunge died along with him and as is now something of the past. the only remnants of that movement alive today are post-grunge leftover acts like dave grohl and the foo fighters, nickelback, daughtry, and 3 doors down. and, with the exception of daughtry, even those bands dont have the same prominence now that they use to have.


pac on the other hand's impact can still be felt in the hip hop industry today. the recent hologram at the coachella festival is evidence of this. u also have college course thats can be taken examining his lyrics. not to mention there is a biopic soon to be released about his life. young jeezy has mentioned that tm 103 was heavily influenced by his music. so yes, his impact is still alive and well today
