"Kanye West shaped a lot of what I do, as far as music goes... Before I met him, I had the utmost respect for Kanye West. I'd even go as far as to say he's the most influential person as far as a musician that I'd ever had in my life."

— Drake in 2009

how does this disprove what i'm saying at all? people can influence each other

At Drake’s 2013 OVO Fest, Kanye admitted that Drake inspired him and Jay‑Z to make Watch the Throne, saying they “would’ve never made Watch the Throne if this Drake wasn’t putting pressure on us like that”

Can you show me an artist saying a whole album wouldn't exist without The Weeknd?

How did Drake influence Kanye when Kanye came out in 2004?

Wayne and Drake influencing Jay and Kanye to team up != Drake influencing Kanye’s sound which is what people mean when they say Drake has no influence on rap.

Name the blinding lights copies by big artists, there were far less than you dumbasses pretend there were

You guys act like every artist jumped on it, when it was basically just Tory Lanez, who makes every type of music possible

nothing about that weeknd era was influential

Weeknd is influential for ushering in the worst style of R&B ever conceived.

Then he went pop

That's it

The Weeknd hasn’t been that influential ever since he went Pop. Even Drake has influenced RnB more post BBTM

During a candid conversation with Toronto rapper Top5, Ye reflected on his artistic journey and the impact Drake has had on his work. He stated, “The thing about Drake’s music is he ain’t got sh*t where he copies what I do. I’ll have copied a Drake flow a lot of times.”

2 months ago, and if you listen to Ye's music in the last 10 years ,its very obvious

This is why no amount of chart studying will give you any culture lmao, big numbers =/= being influential to the genre

Anyone that grew up on hip hop and is knowledgeable about it knows that Wayne, Kanye, Cudi, etc. were the most impactful on shaping the genre

Not no f***ing Drake

Kanye already had 5 albums by the time Drake dropped his debut album
