Drake was way more influenced by Phonte

808’s is an influence for SFG. Just one of many. Not speaking for the whole thing

Kanye says something about Drake

Drake stans: “ Kanye wasn’t even that big in the 2000s and he doesn’t even have any classics”

Find Your Love (an 808s LEFTOVER)

You drake fan girls dumb as s***

Not exaggerated at all. Pretty well documented that 808s played a big role in the sound of the album. I mean the beat to say you will is on the project. 40 is on the record saying they ran with the sound. 40 who also play a major role in producing the sound for him was shopping for specifically "808s type beats" for drake to use on that project.

I mean what else ya want lol

is it exaggerated? yea
has drake been influenced by Kanye and 808s? yea

first search result lol

Okay but SFG is one project out of 13

I never said he is Drakes biggest influence. But you said in your original post that he was influenced by every kanye album but 808’s at that time and thats just not true. You are wrong

A lot of 808s influence on Thank Me Later.

This

and Find Your Love (produced by Ye) literally sounds like a beat made from the 808’s sessions

edit: Say What’s Real literally samples Say You Will too some of y’all are really just rewriting history

Drake wrote 808s

It's not even just the singing. The combo of rapping and singing mix with electronic atmospheric production with emotional vulnerability is a page out of 808s

Lust for Life was the intro to the tape that blew Drake up, I'd say that's pretty significant

Compare the sound of Comeback Season to SFG, it's clear as day

Cant really think of any Ye songs that have him singing this way. Both recorded before 808s

a weak argument i hear is w/o _ then __ would not exist. kanye was the biggest act in hip-hop at the time next to weezy of course every up and coming artist is going to be inspired by him. Same way mfs in this generation were inspired by drake/40

Same way ye was inspired by artists before him, that doesn't take away from his achievements. Others were were influenced but only a select few were able to reach the pinnacles these two did. Honestly lucky to see the both of them push our culture forward, not only opening doors but serving up plates

Nigga had a 808s beat on his first tape

Op has a point tho

Doing this in 2021

Yall keep saying this when they literally said it influenced them. Like why are you going against what the artists said themselves

so when the guy from BTS says his biggest musical influence is Nas u just gonna take his word for it even though that doesn't show up in the music?

The difference is 808s influence shows up in SFG lol

his argument was taking the artist at their word tho
