Jackson really did build the bridge for more black artists to gain crossover success.

And Nirvana didn't undo any of that, because at the same time Nirvana was on MTV, so was Public Enemy and Dr. Dre.

Nirvana got us out of hair metal, and that was it, but even that they didn't do alone. Metallica and RHCP deserve some of that credit too.
