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.
facts
you slander him consistently
he really must have hurt u
It just makes me sad to see him drinking evangelical white Jesus koolaid with no sugar
If more artists were directly influenced by Kanye hip hop would be in a significantly better place
BIG FACTS
thats why we lowkey resent drake. he was suppose to uplift that past era, not just with shoutouts and interview cosigns, but with putting on artist that actually have respect for the history of the art form
same way ye paid his dues with common, q tip, talib, and obviously, JAY Z
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
I never said it doesn’t make itself more apparent over time. You’re the one jumping to conclusions, so the burden of proof is on you.
Having a bunch of clones is not real influence.

You drew a meaningless line in the sand saying for influence to be real, influencees have to be "creative, impactful" people and I pointed out that's impossible to define, transient, always in flux. OP was a stupid post
I get what you’re saying. It’s hard to tell who’s influential and who’s not nowadays simply because we in a copy cat era. Kids just copy what’s hot.
So many niggas copied Uzi when he was hot, hell even 6ix9ine had a clone iirc
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

It’s not impossible be real
There’s being creative and then there’s making boring s*** that sounds like 1000s of other songs. Anyone can tell the difference
Not at all. He’s unique as hell but I don’t see anyone who’s directly influenced by him
Gunna, Roddy Rich?

Bino a Drake clone but close
his first songs were diet wayne 100%
Yeah tbh you prolly right. He been rapping around the same time as Drake. I’d say though that he definitely has been influenced by Drake a lot tho
Gunna, Roddy Rich?
I don’t listen to either of these young men enough to know
I mean it definitely matters its just not the end all be all, theres no middle ground on this forum so everything gets exaggerated.
