30 hours, FSMH & Kanye flat out stated Drake is one of his biggest rivals and influences currently

Cool but Drake couldn't come with a composition like FSMH if his life depended on it

And he never cited Drake as an influence

Except Drake was involved in the creation as well as the creative process of FSMH

You sound a lil salty moving the goal post

Im jus sayin if Kendrick ends his career without impacting anything like he does now, well have to have a convo about those top 5 top 10 tskes yall white boys been crazy with in here

Lmao so were plenty of other people. Drake just helped him a bit with some words on a couple songs

Unless you were in the studio with them, this is kind of irrelevant

Plus even if that was the case 30 hours is a literal Drake song, the tone, subject matter, cadence, flow etc not to mention he has credentials on the song

And that was considered one of the best songs on TLOP

Chill Kendrick’s top 20 regardless

It's not that similar to Drake lmao

Kanye has cited James Brown as his biggest influence and his sampling reveals it too

Rapping wise he has cited Common, Tribe, Nas, Hov, etc. Never Drake

Lol Kanye been literally calling up Drake ro come to his pre albums camp the last few years to work on his projects and u think theres no influence?

Nah

If we're going to name every artist Kanye called up then we'd never see the end of it

Im jus sayin well need to have a discussion and thats only if things continue the same way

Maybe top 20 but a nigga without impact in hip hop in the top 5??

Kanye literally stated Drake was the reason he made watch the throne

The definition of influence states, “ the capacity to have an effect on the character, development or behavior of someone “

Kanye felt the need to make a full fledged collaboration with Jay Z just to rival Drake’s success with Take Care

What does that tell you ? Drake influenced Kanye

Top 5 Already got Wayne Jay Kanye possibly Drake, so there’s only one spot left, who else would you put? 🤔

its no point of arguing. Kanye even admitted watch the throne only happened because of drake was taking over the game, but they still will ignore those facts cause it shatters that bubble they live in 🤷🏽‍♂️

Cool Kanye was inspired by Drake to go harder but that's not what a musical inspiration is

WTT is nothing like Drake's music

Years before Drake, Ye said the same s*** about JT btw

1. Jay
2. Wayne
3. Drake
4. Kanye
5. Biggie

Influence doesn’t mean they have to make the same music dummy

Influence simply means your presence caused a shift and change in someone’s character, development or behavior

And judging by the literal definition Drake’s presence in the music industry pushed Kanye to do and say a handful things in the past decade

Kendrick got some work to do if he tryna be named wit them 🐐s. He got a classic with GKMC, I know he got it in him to drop another

I see that you are new to this music s*** so let me explain. When we talk about musical influence we mean implementing one or more elements by the said influence that can literally be found in their body of work, into your own work. You're just being a d***rider, it'll pass.

Drake literally turned him into a full blown christian off a couple purple devil emoji and this nigga saying theres no influence??

Is Drake’s songwriting not a musical Element?

Kanye hears Drake’s songs and wants that writing in his, so he calls him up more than once to write and structure for him

You can pretend like that’s not influence if you want but we all see through your hurt

He co produced on like 4 songs across multiple albums. Your reaching hard. Kendricks music came out first my guy. The music that y’all are saying Keem wrote came out first AND Keem was just out of middle school while it was being made

Kendrick is probably the greatest lyricist in our generation but to make it on the general list you need more than just lyrics imo

Influence, dominance, longevity, hits, presence, good albums & classic moments within the culture

That’s why Kanye is hail as one of the all time greats despite not being so woke & lyrical miracle on J Dolla esque beats 24/7
