I’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

born 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

Mango

The way he went from a mediocre Kanye album to Lana Del Rey to Brockfuckinghampton. Breaking my keyboard rn.

EuroNymous

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)

Blonde’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.

Nah it’s gotta be TPAB. I heard people singing Alright at the protests earlier this year

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

Blonde?

Cultural impact?

No.

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

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.
