Tupac (and his producers) and Kurt Cobain (and Nirvana) each had 75 million records sold a piece.

Tupac was a loud mouth, always in the news, movie star, flashy, semi-revolutionary, black panther, shot several times, dropped 6 albums in his lifetime of which 3 were critically acclaimed, and was murdered in Las Vegas in a high profile gang related incident (really an inside job).

Kurt Cobain was passive, avoided the news, dressed shitty, was a heroin addict, completed four albums in his lifetime of which two were critically acclaimed and was purported to have killed himself in a quite Seattle suburb (really an inside job).

Now with all that Pac did in his life you would think that his sales would far surpass ol' regular Joe ass Kurt Cobain's but for some reason they are exactly the same.

And for anyone who said, "Oh Kurt Cobain was in a band!" Well, Pac similarly had producers but didnt serve as the main contributor to any of his productions like Kurt did with his guitar.

Its pretty clear who's "music" was more impact full, as a matter of fact, Nirvana transcended and defined music outside of their genre. Pac didnt change rap or popular music at all.

Now for the bigger persona and image, Pac without a doubt.

i swear these thread brought the white boys out

And is that really what it did, or did it just prove that niggas dont know shit unless its going on in their hood...

I think the latter.

BTW who said Kurt Cobain couldnt rap?

 

[Focal Point]

pac hav statues in and out of the US

it aint hard 2 tell who music is more liked

yeah but liking the music and having an impact on music are two different things, statues don't dictate musical impact but rather the popularity of the person

Only people that are knowledgeable about grunge and rap can objectively answer this question.

I think it's more about you liking rap music. That may tell more of your story

 

[thecomebacklegend]

I think it's more about hating pac while their fav rapper can't get a pic put up in their old project building they donate 2

and people sayin pac music aint have a bigger impact?FOH

Pac has a song in the Library of Congress (DEAR MOMMA)

without Dr.Dre you would just make slow jams

Hov don't really respect you, get in ya place

if Big was alive he'da probably spit in ya face

Nas been doin' just fine without you (esco)

and pac probably woulda made an album about you - Jada

Pac...Pac was about the rising up and overcoming of the oppressed and went about it in a strategic way thru music. But i dont know what kurt cobain was really "about", or if there was any method to his madness. I do know that lonely suburban kids identified with his music/lyrics tho.

 

[Jdilla26]

Hardcore fans of Cobain and 2pac felt they were visionaries, genius, and a Messiah of epidemic proportions. Objectively, we don't know if either artist would prove to be such a genius over time. Whose to say that had either or both artists lived, we wouldn't think of them as washed-up has-beens now?

What makes them similiar died near the height of their popularity. It's easy to remember them as great.
