He meant time being famous/alive

Also this tbh

I know but it still matters more who was first

So Kanye didn’t influence an entire generation and the most famous woman on the planet and the biggest rappers in this generation? I’m saying this as a big Pac fan

Yeah exactly. That's why 2pac is orders of magnitude more influential. He was earlier and more impactful in a fraction of the time.

It’s like a compounding effect through time and generations

Lol

His influence won't hold up as well as Tupac's has and to the extent that it has imo, history shows us that people who act up in the later years of whatever they're doing tend to be judged most for that. Not even just in music.

the one with their own shoe line that millions still wear even after openly supporting Hitler

Wrong

If we look at who shaped the hip hop genre most it’s definitely 2Pac. Other rappers literally study him and his themes and apply it to rap to this day. Kanye has taken the genre baton and transformed it into a more culturally diverse and pop-appealing sound, but he works with the foundation that 2Pac and other greats already laid out. So it has to be 2Pac, because Kanye used his taste making ability to construct great albums using different genres, but hasn’t exactly built the hip hop genre, if anything he’s watered it down using the sounds of other genres. It didn’t used to be like that

Will people be wearing those shoes in around 30 years though? Since that's around how long ago Tupac was alive

Pac

Back in the day i seen a lot of pac in ye even listen to a song like bring me down

Why tho

I‘mma say Pac as a Ye "stan" (I really only stan myself)

Kanye overall stats s***s on Tupac

people are still wearing retro jordans and retro nikes, I can't predict the future but if you were to ask me to guess Id say yes

its impossible to get a hold of a pair of air yeezys today

Then Drake took it and followed Kanyes steps making it even more commercially viable, pop-like and many would argue watered down. But that's debatable

Someone screenshot this and roast this man in 30 years please

there would be no Kanye without Pac

Nigga you talking like ye dropped master p sneakers

I stand by my words

PAC was in movies

I feel like the impact of tupacs persona goes beyond the reach of his own music in a way but of course it’s been a long ass time, where as with ye it’s an all encompassing thing still
