“The craziest thing about “Panini” is it introduced me to Nirvana’s album ‘Nevermind,’ the “Old Town Road” star said. “I always seen the cover,…

has established himself as a genre-bending phenomenon. The country-rap track has dominated the charts for much of the spring and summer, and on his follow-up to the unexpected smash he further celebrates the glory of 1991. “Panini,” the first song to be released from a forthcoming EP, leads with an interpolation of“A lot of songs will even come to me [when] I’m sleeping or something,” he explained to Zane Lowe during a Beats 1 interview. “Like a melody. And I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s fly.

According to the 20-year-old, he didn’t realize that the melody on the chorus was similar to the one on “In Bloom,” which led to a Nirvana writing credit on the track. The song, which is featured on his debut EP, got the final blessing from the Resident Millennial of the Nirvana estate, Frances Bean Cobain. Lil Nas X tweeted a “thank you” to the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love.

panini interpolates parts of nirvana’s “in bloom”. special thank you to frances bean cobain for this!! 🖤Now, the rising star considers himself a fan. “I’ve been listening to it a lot lately actually,” he continued.caused its own cultural phenomenon — so not knowing Nirvana isn’tinsane, but sure does make this writer feel incredibly old. Still, with accidental Nine Inch Nails and Nirvana samples under his belt, Lil Nas X should keep this trend going.

That doesn’t surprise me like most of these so called modern rappers he hasn’t a fucking clue about music , fucking X factor generation ruined music 🎶

Shows that the PRODUCER nowadays does most to all the work. Not the artist

💔

He's hella young. Yall need to stop with the fake outrage. Your sensibility is showing and it's not cute.

Is he gen-z?

I'm pretty sure he didn't produce the record so why is this even an article ?

I’ve never heard Lil Nas X before sampling a panini at Costco but it still came out as a steaming pile of shit just as well as this.

Not even Smells Like Teen Spirit? 🤨

Riiiiight

Clearly a real musician... I mean, Nevermind WAS a fairly obscure underground album that got little play and no one has talked about it in the music industry or in general in the last 25 years...

Old Tweet for Old Heads; StiLL Tryina take LilNasX down He Getting Cozy in ya Lane, shoot I might as well do the same

people before they read the article:

Expand your musical horizon LilNasX. There is much great music u can take inspiration from W/O sampling.

hmmmm

Weak

And this is exactly what’s wrong with this song.

He got his daughter's blessing. Stop being messy.

I'd never heard of Lil Nas X until just now reading that he sampled from Nirvana. So, ok then.

Was he living under a fucking rock?

He's 20 years old

.

Before all the older people get upset, just realize that he was born in 1999. What did you really expect?

Who is Little Nas X ?

That’s sad

Thats how ya do it

I envy Kurt Cobain in that he’ll never have to hear Panini

Y’all post this knowing damn well old people are gonna be so mad about it. Haha he got the go from Frances, everything will be okay.

It shows.

Well, he still heard it before I did.

He said it was interpolated... Yeah. He's corrupt.

Says all you need to know about these hacks. Manufactured fast food music for idiots.

Which is why they should have to write their own fucking music!!

Nevermind is a classic. No need to touch it!

'Sampling = Stealing'

The more I hear about/from this kid, the less I like him. And that makes me feel old.
