I would say he affected R&B more than rap with that. Ye and Wayne were already crooning and singing on their songs

How influential is Hov? Mid to late 00s maybe, but ion really see anyone I could say is from Hov’s tree nowadays that’s newer

yeah you putting Hov on here I needa see the biggie tax for the 2/3rd of his career he spent repurposing his lines

Replace Hov with Gucci or Future

Bannable post

Drake the Kakashi of rap.
copy anyone's Justu but has so many sons and mentored so many

Yes

almost every rapper nowadays? obviously he wasn't the first rapper to sing, but he is the main reason everybody had started doing this
also he showed that it's ok for rappers to show emotions in songs. I remember times when everybody was saying he is a p**** and too soft. the whole "emo-rap" lane exists cause of him and Cudi.
and I dont even gonna mention how many top tier rappers and singers he helped in the beginning of their careers - from The Weeknd to Fewtch and Migos

Even Wayne wanted Drake for hooks tbh. Kinda crazy when he could get every singer in the world

"And we goin' be alright if we put Drake on every hook"

But yeah Id say hes overall more influential in the way rnb turned out aswell

Sosa influence is definitely worldwide. People in Nigeria, Ghana, even South Korea have their own versions of drill nowadays

Ye the 4th hokage

the roc lives forever

This released in 2007, before 808s even dropped

which is why I always say 808's influenced Drake production wise and not singing wise.
Drake was always more rnb and ye was pop.
808's did more for 40 than it did for Drake vocally, was more of an influence sound wise

Fr?

Didn’t know he dropped any sfg s*** that early

This 100%

Not sure I see much 808s influence in 40 production

one can arguably say that eazy-e is the most important figure in the history of the genre

Upload date of that video is 7 december 2007. Mightve been a leak or something

lmfao

name a rapper that I ain't influenced

This is the 4 rappers of all time.
