The 90s were a great decade musically, and at their height were two guys who died.
Biggie Smalls, the greatest rapper of all time, who was shot to death.
And Kurt Cobain, the greatest songwriter of his generation, who shot himself to death.
During their lifetimes, there was a total of 7 albums, if you include Junior Mafia with Biggie and "Incesticide" (U"Unplugged" was released post-humously.
Between them they remodeled hip hop and rock in their image and you can hear it till this day.
Kurt killed himself 17 years and a day ago.
