this guy has creepily hated on kanye for years
he's said some awful things about him
I remember he said some f***ed up s*** about his daughter. I don’t even want to repeat it
eminem is def somewhere. maybe not musically but the dude sold almost 2 million first week during his peak. talk about reaching a lot of people.
They’re just listing iconic artists, influential would mean they change the sound of music. In terms of how albums are approached and technology is used to affect the sonics of music, these guys have the biggest footprints in my mind. No particular order
1. Beatles - superstars truly crafting albums/phases. Huge effect on all the greats from mj to Bowie to kanye
2. King Tubby - Dub has such a huge influence with how much it utilized bass-boosting and delay as the main textures. All modern music should thank the king
3. Stevie Wonder - just chords good god. Prince, Pharrell, tyler, frank, all owe a lot to the man
4. Afrika Bambata - one of several artists to popularize sampling in beats, but also brought up early greats like tribe, jungle bros, etc.
5. Phil Collins - created the 80s sound w the gated reverb snare right at the top of the decade. Fr all 80s and early 90s used this exact drum sound.
6. Biggie - changed how rappers flowed, but I’m willing to give this to someone else if anyone has an idea. edit: some other people recommended rakim for this one
7. Tpain - made autotune what it is honestly. Direct line from tpain to kanye to drake to every single artist out rn.
Biggie not more influential than Rakim
