“wasnt the first but was the trendsetter” is what the post said sir

Nah easily 50 cent. Him and Camron were more influential on the mixtape scene than Wayne.

Wayne probably 3rd tho

Bobby brown was a top 3 act in the world at one point in the pop r&b game, was hopping on tracks and spitting verses.

Mariah started to follow suit making r&b/pop songs with rappers and I think it can be attributed to her not sure

On me

Used to think I was so fresh

Lorde Pure Heroine influenced every album that was released afterwards

EA deluxe

I'd actually credit TI for this with Paper Trail more than Hov tbh

The Chronic - Popularized gangsta rap and G Funk

Rappa Ternt Sanga - Popularized Auto-tune

Finally Rich - popularized Drill music

DS2 - Popularized modern trap as we know it today

MOTM - Popularized Emo Rap

MOTM popularized melodic rap I think

True

I still think TI started the trend with Paper Trail. He had Rihanna and Timberlake on songs that topped charts and the sound of the album was very poppy compared to other rap releases

Even tho he didn’t invent it Justin Timberlake made beat switches cool.

Also Britney Spears kinda made that electro dark pop that lady gaga did too pop off with blackout

Eternal Atake reinvented deluxe albums and made people realize they could put our their b sides or left overs and still get in streams

Mbdtf created music

Kodak and Thug did it before Uzi tho

u mean timbaland

Ahh also diddy probably should be credited for rnb hooks on rap songs

Raekwon is responsible for mafioso rap being a thing in the 90s

Yeah it ended the electro pop era for sure

Everything went darker and more minimal

Jodeci - Forever My Lady

changed the game for r&b forever

Soulja Boy. Not even an album just Soulja Boy.

I think without him there wouldn’t have been a jerk era or the futuristic swag era. Possibly not even a Lil B.

If u want a better answer

Drooped a mixtape that s*** sounded like a album
