Here are my direct quotes from another thread on this topic: ktt2.com/ian-connor-is-the-most-influential-figure-of-this-decade-18188/4#post-1007646
"You mean the rapist with no original ideas that initially made a name for himself rehashing decade old trends and exploiting white suburban kids on Tumblr that weren't into hip hop and fashion until odd future, but swore that Ian was their fashion inspiration because no one in that space at the time had the context or wherewithal to google search "what shirt was Kanye wearing in the __"
You mean that guy, you sure about that?..."
"Dyed dreads have been a thing forever.
"Dad hats" can be traced back to when Kanye, Pharrell, Nigo, Ashton Kutcher and Justin Timberlake were all wearing Vonn Dutch and Bape hats in the early 2000s.
Everyone that got put onto to Supreme around the same time Ian was "on the come up" was doing so because of Odd Future, Ian included. It was relatively a big deal at the time within that part of the Tumblr community, to the point where their used to be Tumblr blogs dedicated to exposing hypebeast that were wearing fake preme and/or were wearing it because they were blatant odd future fans.
And the whole thing with Tumblr can be credited to dudes like SGP, Yams and again, Odd Future.
I've noticed that everyone that swears by Ian gives these revisionist allegories filled misleading information and most people who were frequenting forums and tumblr during those times would tell you that this man's hype in the early days is mostly hyperbole..."
"Semantics, they're both very similar styled hats and it's clear that Ian wearing those hats at the time were a callback to that era, as with most things associated with his "style and fashion".
How about you come up with an actual rebuttal instead of relying on something as childish as "damn you salty, did he smash your girl".
How do you expect someone to take your very vague and un-sited opinions seriously when that is how you respond to someone with a legitimate counter-argument?"
hes like 5"5 and the women he fw are built like strippers with ass cheeks that prolly weigh more than him that man aint capable of raping no one

All this is irrelevant when we see the biggest names in the business citing him as an influence whether it’s directly or indirectly
"allegation"
not one of his rape cases been proven true to this, infact multiple have been proven fake
Is it not concerning he has multiple rape cases
Like one of the biggest rap songs of the decade is literally named after the guy.

cope
Is it not concerning he has multiple rape cases
as a person sure but it makes no sense people use that to try to discredit is overwhelming influence on the culture
Like one of the biggest rap songs of the decade is literally named after the guy.
what song u talkin bout
Like one of the biggest rap songs of the decade is literally named after the guy.
wait what
All this is irrelevant when we see the biggest names in the business citing him as an influence whether it’s directly or indirectly
That's some "Elvis created rock n roll" level logic right there.

Wasn't Sicko already a UK slang thing?
That's some "Elvis created rock n roll" level logic right there.
Not really. Elvis didn’t invent rock and roll we have evidence that shows that he didn’t.
Ian Connor influenced a lot of these artists we have evidence that shows that he has lol

Never heard drake say it until he linked up with Ian
Saving this for when Drake begins to play the Ye role in this very accurate description of rappers turning 40
