Hard to argue with that

I’ll give you Tyler but not only has he abandoned that approach he actively preaches that he hates that era. Kendrick sprinkled some Em in here and there but was far from the reason he popped

I think what a lot of ppl aren't thinking about is all these rappers influence exceed hiphop.
y'all namedropping ppl only hiphop heads are aware of

Solid list

this song alone birthed multiple careers

Kendrick was pretty openly Wayne’s son

rappers cite Eminem as an influence tho

Literally it’s a pitfall for every white boy to get inevitably compared to em if they start rapping

You can debate the extent but to say it was minimal at best is revisionist history

Yep and Wayne is Jays son. They both are cemented on that list and are honestly 1 and 2

I need to know

Absolute nonsense

There are a million eminem clones

Furthermore the term stan comes from him

You cant be serious

And renegaded

Jay, Ye, Wayne, Drake

new yorker?

BIG?

Should be BIG instead of Jay and Dre has to be in there but y'all east coast mf's always hating, nothing new

Hov is the goat but I don’t really see him being influential like that. Drake n future is more influential imo

Who did drake influence?

funny thing Drake has more Jay style than you think and future has Wayne style in him

He changed the entire soundscape of rnb and rappers singing. Weeknd said his sound was Drakes Toronto sound with a twist. Rappers stopped getting singers for their hooks and started doing it themselves. And yeah obv 50 did the hooks before Drake but rappers were still getting singers for hooks until Drake and 50 didnt impact rnb at all.

Think of how Kendrick, Cole and other rappers from the last gen got comfortable using their singing vocals even if they sound horrible

Valid point

i was gonna say drake rides waves flawlessly but jay z started the riding of waves
