Who did it influence
Yeat, all of Opium, Drake, Travis, Lancey Foux, Youngboy, a bunch of smaller underground artists, etc.
The Astroworld take is still insane to me.
Y’all dismissed the bundles for years, cool.
If we look at the streaming numbers he went from 35K with Birds to 267K with ASTROWORLD. 667% increase.
Carti went from 90K with Whole Lotta Red to 284K with MUSIC. 215% increase. MUSIC was only 5 more tracks than WLR, so I’m not hearing the excuse that 5 more songs got him an additional 194K in sales.
Obviously Travis’s will be a bit more substantial because Birds was released right at the beginning of the streaming era, but it’s still a massive jump for both.
How exactly did ASTROWORLD “transcend generations” if y’all have been saying for years that it only crossed 500K because his teenage white fans were buying his merch bundles in bulk?

Drake literally ran to Carti while he was rolling out WLR and ran to Yeat on For All The Dogs, not to mention he had a verse on that Trippie song that sounded straight off of WLR

I knew you would say that.
Just because you don’t know or listen to the numerous artists it influenced, that doesn’t mean the influence didn’t exist
Think it's far too early to judge if the perceived impact of the Carti album but if Carti's main audience/fan base is young white men then it's fair to question if it will have any meaningful lasting impression.
Uzi dropped EA and his last project went plastic first week
Name an album more influential this decade then
They can’t. They never have an answer when you ask this question
It's ok, you only listen to Drake
Claiming to be a fan of music and simultaneously dismissing artists just because they aren’t popular
SOUR
We’re talking about rap albums
You can’t name a more influential 2020s rap album than Whole Lotta Red

The original statement that you laughed at was that WLR is the most influential rap album of the decade
