I AM LOVEI’d go as far as saying TLOP is one of the most paradigm shifting albums of all time.
Everyone still biting the 2016 Ye aesthetic to this day

People are so corny when they don’t like something so they try to pretend like it had no influence or popularity at all.
Like I don’t love Drake but I’m not going to pretend he hasn’t had a huge impact
Aug 4, 2020Lmao you guys are so out of touch sometimes it’s hilarious

Aug 4, 2020Y’all just naming albums that yall like and screaming INFLUENCE

EuroNymousborn to die (influenced pop heavily to be more low key and subdued)
currents (got the whole indie crowd captured)
take care (its take care what is their to explain)
astroworld (similar to tlop)
TPAB (culturally influenced and is the unofficial soundtrack to BLM)
The Money Store (had huge influence on the fantano/mu crowd + popularity of industrial hip hop)everyone album here had some type influence on their respect genre/community
Agree with all this

MangoThe way he went from a mediocre Kanye album to Lana Del Rey to Brockfuckinghampton. Breaking my keyboard rn.
I didn’t say these were the BEST albums but you can’t deny their popularity
- OPAug 4, 2020EuroNymous
couple more i can think of
beyonce/lemonade (both were huge and were culturally relevant)
teenage dream (6 no 1 singles do i say more)
pure heroine (similar to born to die pushing pop in the way it did)
RAM (cultural event its f***ing daft punk)
Purpose (same as tlop iconic tour, singles and merch)
Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites (iconic brostep record should get reevaluation in next couple years)
I agree also. Thank you for understanding my thread

Kendrick cited blonde as an influence during the Damn. sessions
Lorde cited blonde as an influence during the Melodrama sessions
Sza cited blonde as an influence during the Ctrl sessions
Brockhampton (self-explanatory)
Rocky has cited Blonde and frank in general as changing the way he went about making his music
I could go on and on about the underground artists who have clearly been greatly influenced by blonde whether it be Dijon, Choker, Jean Dawson, etc (whether they would like to admit it or not)
no drake stan or person who cant listen to a song without drums can come itt and tell me this album has no influence, ive WITNESSED it. Most influential of the decade? Now of course that can be debated, but what can’t be debated is artists literally saying on record that it influenced them, and literal new sub-genres emerging after it’s release completely jacking the sound and aesthetic
Aug 4, 2020·edited
Mr MotionBlonde’s cultural significance (if it even has any) has 0 to do with the quality of music. It’s about how he finessed the music industry.
i think BEYONCÉ, Blonde, and TLOP are all in that same category.
edit for clarification: category of the era and not necessarily the music being "culturally significant"
edit 2: i wouldn't say 0 to do with the music for Blonde tho. there are several artists who have specifically named the album as influence for their projects. we may not be able to hear it, because artists are artists and make it their own sound, but it was "influential"
ok that's enough edits.
sponge 🧽Aug 4, 2020bobby jNah it’s gotta be TPAB. I heard people singing Alright at the protests earlier this year
Def TPAB

You know what else cant be debated? Numbers. Know how much views sold first week? 1.04 million and thats it being an apple exclusive. Yall are all biased as being big forum nerds who think its cool to hate Drake, so out of touch with reality.
Aug 4, 2020Amphernee HardawayBlonde?
Cultural impact?
No.
White girls and private school niggas felt it tho

delusional but cute
no one f***ing cares about hotline bling no more
you don't understand the difference between a rowdy rich / lil pump year hit with cultural shifting albums like Blonde and TLOP
hotline bling is just a year hit, no one cares about that no more, it is frugal
Drake changed streaming and how artists make albums
No one cares about Hotline Bling? You're a moron. You should try leaving the house sometime, it's pretty dope.

i dont hate drake though, i think the stans, who discredit other artists because they clearly feel like drake’s numbers alone arent enough to validate his influence, are sickening

Who has hated Drake itt and went out of their way to discredit him? This isn’t some corny “this person is great but this person sucka thread”
To me, I’ve personally seen those two albums as the most significant in impact but I definitely won’t deny Drakes impact / popularity.
