Rap Fan Listens To NIRVANA - Come As You Are (REACTION!!!) 

He didn't need to add anything to his music, this album changed the course of all music in the 90's. This album is absolutely perfect.

Kurt Cobain has officially been dead as long as he was alive, but the impact he left behind will live on for generations.

You need to either hear “Heart-Shaped Box,” or “In Bloom” next. They are both BANGERS!

Thanks for appreciating Nirvana as much as the rest of us

All Apologies is another Nirvana classic you’ve got to check out!

Still gives me chills, when I hear him Sing 'I swear I dont have a gun'.

Nirvana was such an influential rock group as they were one of early grunge rock bands that turned mainstream and really changed rock from hair band era to grunge.....80s hair band was about partying, having fun and girls where grunge brought a different sound along with a lot of more serious lyrics about real life ...

I know this is two years old but it’s cool to see you enjoyed it. The impact that Nirvana had can’t be overstated, they literally changed the music industry across the entire English-speaking world. It’s like today when anything crazy happens, the entire internet freaks out about it all at once. That’s what Nirvana caused even before people were really on the internet.

Plot twist- he’s been a rock fan this whole time

haha this guy's reactions are funny. so cool to see that after 30 years Nirvana still sounds great and fresh. peace dude

Nirvana marked the boundary between the 80s and the 90s for music; they led to other grunge and alternative bands to take over and hairbands to fade from public consciousness. Music and youth culture were so different after that, like Kurt hand flip the switch to end one era and start the next.

i like when fans of other music take the time to appreciate other genres

Man you shlould react to Nirvana-In Bloom🔝🔝

Can't wait until you get into other grunge bands of the 90s like Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, The Melvins, etc

Kurt Cobain defines melancholy more than anyone in Rock. It's in every Nirvana song.

Heart shaped box next!!! You will love it I promise

With both Cobain and Staley(Alice in chains) you can hear their emotion conveyed to the fullest in their voices.

As always, Nirvana is such an amazing band and Kurt Cobain is one of the best singers of the 90's. Sadly there's no more Nirvana but I believe Dave Grohl kept its spirit alive with the Foo Fighters, that's why I recommend you to listen to them, like some of their earlier songs such as Learning to Fly and Skin and Bones, and specially The pretender.

Watching you experience all these great songs I grew up listening too is really awesome. Glad you’re enjoying it.

You should definitely check out ‘Drain You’ next, from the same album!

I know what you mean about feeling young. He taps into the angst of late teens early 20's so perfectly. But in a really refined talented complex way. It ages well it isn't immature. It's so good.

You also need to hear the Unplugged version as well!!!

When I was 12 (in 1992) my dad gave me this cd and told me he had won a song contest and the band had put my name in a song. My name is Emilyna and I always sing it like it’s my song. Nirvana will always have the most tender place in my heart. This was the band that meant to the most to me and spoke the most to me as a teen and as a person. These musicians are / were true artists which is timeless in a way. Love seeing you jam to these like I did when I first heard them!

The drummer is the lead singer of Foo Fighters

React to Scorpions: Rock you like a hirricane, big city nights, the zoo, still loving you Iron maiden: Wasted years, hallowed be thy name, number of the beast, aces high Def leppard: Photograph, Bringin on the heartbreak, Animal ,Foolin Motley crue: Looks that kill ,Live wire

its really tight that you checking out nirvana! its one my favorite bands

You spotted the essence of this song nowadays: Feels like Highschool again, young inside. Nirvana was one of my fav band when I was a teenager. Nice channel btw :D

I appreciate your take on the music I jammed to decades ago, great content!

You are to dig cute!! Love seeing you get hyped and jamming out to all these classics!

You need to hear THE DOORS, LEGENDARY PSYCHEDELIC ROCK BAND

I think you've never heard U2 songs before. Listen to Pride (in the name of love), Sunday bloody Sunday, With or Without you, I still haven't found what I am looking for, One. Trust me bro, they are not bangers, but their songs will touch your soul.

Do " LOUNGE ACT "!!! I have been into NIRVANA since 1989, LOUNGE ACT is by far my favorite song. It has a real bassy groove.

Lithium is an awesome track, also, check out the drummers band that formed after the lead Nirvana singer Curt died. FOO FIGHTERS, same kind of vibe, amazing band 👍

The music sounds life it could be released today because it inspired today's music.

Hey Jojo, been watching a lot of your stuff lately and appreciate you looking back at the music from before. BUT one thing always bothers me in the comments, people completely disregarding rap music. While I don't listen to it much these days, the 90's had some amazing songs. So, Give a listen to Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" and Tupac's "Changes" if you've never listened to them before.

WOOT! Love Nirvana.

u should react to metallica songs like master of puppets, enter sandman, nothing else matters

This is my favourite nirvana tune bruv. Loving your work

Kurt Cobain's story is incredibly tragic. Mental health can be both terrifying and beautiful.

This was two yrs ago but I just came across this because I love Nirvana from my teen years. Fantastic commentary on how his music makes you feel youthful.

One of my fav songs off of this album is "Breed". It's more simple but there's something hypnotic and cathartic about it.

Cheers for you reaction, I love Nirvana

Whooo finally another one. Nirvana- In Bloom Thanks Carl and you as well jojo

Something that came out along this time frame that you should check out is "Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog.

Your description....soooo good!!! Njoyed so much! Territorial Pissings is one of my favs by Nirvana.... You may check it.

SHOUT OUT CARL!!! AND you are perfectly right about music transcending time.

I love your reaction videos

Nirvana was definitely the biggest musical thing on the planet when I was a kid. When he died Oasis took their place for me (and everyone else in my school).

You are right about the music making you feel young on the inside . I'm 62 and love Nirvana ,

Yo bro, I love the fact that you dig (good) rock music as much as you do. You are correct when you say Kurt Cobain sounded like a sad soul. He was all the way until his (framed suicide) murder in 1994. Please check out "All Apologies." Another "sad soul" singer from the same time and music genre was Layne Staley from "Alice In Chains." Cobain died April 5th, 1994 (age 27) and Staley died April 5th 2002 (age 32). Also please listen to Alice in Chains "Down in a Hole" live.

People are people, and they always have been. Throughout time, we show ourselves to follow trends and emotionally resonate with certain "attitudes" as we age. As we age, the music that speaks to a certain age can offer a nostalgic reminiscence; taking you back to when you were that 'rebellious young spirit.' Since the art speaks to that specific energy, it's able to connect with future young people that are experiencing it all for the fist time.

Please do either “I remember you” or “Youth gone wild” by skid row, I’m gonna do this on every video until you do .-.

I will keep recommending Iron Maiden in these comments, I honestly believe you'd love them. Hallowed be thy Name (Beast Over Hammersmith 1982) Fear of the Dark (Rock in Rio 2001)

All his songs make me feel like a kid again… good insight fella

Kurt you are still missed man!!!! Wish you were still with us. Your voice will always be heard as long as music exists. This song changed my life forever.

Nirvana was huge in the early 90s. Listen to the Foo Fighters. Their lead Singer was the drummer for Nirvana but is lead singer and founder of Foo Fighters. A great group in itself.

The Man Who Sold The World (Live And Loud, Seattle / 1993) has great guitar riffs and lyrics.

I remember the height of his fame. It was pretty Amazing! Loved the reaction. 💕

If you've grown up in a volatile household like a lot of us have, you can relate to these nirvana songs cos the solos sound like your mum when she's at the end of the tether and she's crying and kicking off...

Shout out to Carl for requesting more Nirvana!! "Heart Shaped Box: and "All Apologies" are 2 more of Nirvana's huge hits.... Also, for more grunge/Alternative Rock..... PEARL JAM: "Alive" or "Jeremy" UNCENSORED Official video (based in part on a true story), SOUNDGARDEN: "Black Hole Sun" or "Outshined", AUDIOSLAVE: "Like A Stone" or "Show Me How To Live", ALICE IN CHAINS: "Rooster" OFFICIAL video (it puts the story of the song into context).

YES, CARL!!, 🔥

I think maybe he was saying "I don't have a gun" to mean he comes in peace, he's a friend, a man of peace. If Micheal Jackson was the king of pop, Kurt was basically the king of grunge, alternative rock. All the bands paid homage to Nirvana. They heavily represented that era.

It's cool to see how you discover this legendary bands. Hope you can react to "Soda Stereo" any live version, they are a band from Argentina, greetings from Chile.

Cult of personality by Living Colour. How many of us need to keep requesting this. You will be blown . I cant wait to see your face jojo if you do realise many of us have been requesting for this.

Nirvana opens your mind, gets you thinking. Way to go Carl!!!!

One of the first songs I learned on guitar during lockdown last year 👍

Yes plz do more

I graduated the 1998, Anyone that went to school during that time could say how absolutely huge Nirvana was...

Nirvana is legendary!! Probably the most influential band of the ‘90s! ANYTHING by them !!!!!!

Welcome to the classic badass music club brother🔥

React to Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

NIRVANA... A transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self.

This song is all about the bass guitar …. THE MOST STRIKING THING ABOUT THIS SONG…. Bassist all over the world this song is their Mecca song

Awesome song!

Its interesting. When I watch you listening to the songs I can understand how these songs are constructed. I can see how good or not good they are in reality.

Shout out, Carl! :)

Lot of people told you already, but when this album came out it changed the history of music. It was the end of an era (rock or glam rock) and the beginning of the grunge era ( alternative or a type of punk rock if you prefer). You’re right , his songs are often about teen angst. His voice is very unique indeed, didn’t sing like you’re suppose to, and was damaging his voice in the process. But god, what a voice. Eventually you’ll end up listening to their last album live before he killed himself, and the last song is Where did You Sleep Last Night. Wait for it tough, you gotta understand the band and who Kurt Cobain is before.

I love Evan Peters version from American Horror Story too. I grew up listening to this. I was a high school sophomore when this came out. LFR JoJo is right, it set the mood for many parties and dates of mine back in the day. But I always loved hardcore rap. Nuttin but a G Thang came out back then too.

On your description of how it makes you feel, I know what you mean. Nirvana was my older brother's music, but they were always present when I was in high school ('99-2003). I didn't like them at the time for complicated reasons, but watching reactions now there's an intense and surreal sense of nostalgia, but it's hard to describe. Edit: This one always hits hard because of how Cobain died.

This man I have so much respect for him

I was in high school when this track came out. …good times!

My first Nirvana song was Negative Creep blew my f*kn mind Thrash was alive !!!!!! And then it became grunge and changed my musical life forever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

2:20 Nail on the head. Perfect description.

The producer Butch vig who made the album Nevermind said Kurt's voice sounded like Nails on a chalk board. In the most beautiful way.I like you said there is something youthful about his music. It is and when you where a youth as I was back in the day I felt like he was singing to us. It was mind-blowing hearing Nirvana for the first time. My favourite band ever......

He’s the biggest rock star ever to this day dude. He’s known worldwide. Loved by all musicians and artists.

Hanoi rocks up around the bend you have to. Do it

Check out Nirvana's cover of "man who sold the world" by David Bowie

NOW you're going on the grunge-rock era journey!!! SO awesome to see just how much you love them... Kurt Cobain was the singer... Nirvana(said like ner-von-a), was one of the four grunge-rock bands to come out of Seattle, Washington, there's also; Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden!! N i ALWAYS add Linkin Park...although they came out way later!!😁 They ALL have very distinct voices!!!🎤

IN BLOOM!

The drummer for Nirvana is now, if I'm correct, the lead singer for Foo Fighters. I think his name is Dave Grohl.

5:46 Yup, you are very correct... he was the biggest rock star back in his day.

kurt's voice change me. way back in 92. i was ten years old, and the album was already old. but i couldn't deny it. grunge molded me. i still love Snoop and Biggie and Chester and all the others. but i can't escape my first love. grunge. Kurt. Layne. Chris. c'mon now, there is no better foundation.....

One of my favorites by nirvana ❤

The rock-hip hop mix had happened before Nirvana broke big, but it was still some years before that became popular. If he had lived longer, I suspect he would've collaborated with at least 1 or 2 rappers on some music. I liked a variety of styles, so very possible I think. Check out the video for RUN DMC - Walk This Way ft. Aerosmith for the first big collaboration between rap and rock. It helped make Run DMC one of the biggest rap groups and helped revitalize the career of Aerosmith. And the video "DMC: The Real Story of Aerosmith + Run-D.M.C.'s 'Walk This Way'" talks about how it came to be. Has a nice message embedded in it.

every time i hear this i get goosebumps

2:19 he suffered a lot in highschool, dealing with drugs, failing grades, not being able to graduate, and even being kicked out of his house he’s the absolute teenage dirtbag I grew up struggling and i was easily able to connect with kurt. He’s whats helping me with my senior year

You should try cowboy by kid rock! This is a cool song. Nirvana has great songs!

i am absolutely stunned that as an american you have never heard nirvana. it's incredulous!

Nirvana is so good 😁😻

Psychedelic furs heaven Unique voice...
