I notice when KTT talks about the influence of a rapper yall just talk about how many clones they have as if anyone cares about the 1000s of ripoffs that are being tossed around. Here’s the thing: influence doesn’t actually matter THAT much. Sure, there are a few times where it does. For example Lil Wayne to Young Thug IS one that matters because they are both actual CREATIVE artists that make stuff worth listening to that isn’t just disposable. But I don’t care about all these rappers that are trying to bite other rappers just because it’s what they listen to and they can’t be creative. Influence only matters when the rappers offspring are actually creative, impactful people that try to do their own thing, that’s real influence, not having a bunch of clones.
typically influence is used when stans have no tangible evidence that their favorite artist is good
or when there is no tangible evidence that an amazing artist isnt great they will say "but he has no influence" just because it's something that is almost subjective
Is your avatar not /mu/ influence?
So basically you’re trying to say Young Thug isn’t influential?
Not as much as people say. But again that’s not a terrible thing. Also he’s a pretty new artist so I give it time
People just exaggerate how much influence certain artists have because it’s their favs
Artists who are actually influential to current music and music of the last decade: Wayne, Gucci, T-Pain, Soulja Boy, Lil B, Keef, Future, Nicki, Drake, Kendrick.
Anyone else is just an exaggeration because other artists sound just as generic as they do. I know I missed some but that’s the gist of real influence

Are you implying Thugger generic?

Not at all. He’s unique as hell but I don’t see anyone who’s directly influenced by him

You’ll have to show them to me. Granted I don’t listen to a lot of these younger cats so it’s probably people I’ve never heard of

Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, and Young Thug all started as what you would call "boring" Wayne clones. Look where they are now. Your line of reasoning is dumb. Artists develop and influence makes itself more apparent over time
Kanye West (famous rapper from Chicago i guess you havent heard of him) OUT NOW
If more artists were directly influenced by Kanye hip hop would be in a significantly better place
Going to throw this out there as a hot take. The Cool Kids influenced a lot of s*** the last decade and niggas ran off with it they never got their credit.

Kanye influenced artists who influenced artists. hes at the top of the pyramid
