We wouldn’t have a good amount of the newest rappers if it weren’t for Drake
Name some
We wouldn't have Kanye and Drake if Jay didn't exist
When did jay birth ye?

not gone hold you but despite popular belief kanyes main influences out the gate was puffy/mase/rza/dj premier not jay z
Idk what you mean, it wouldn’t have blown up to its heights without him, but he didn’t create that sound, he just brought new elements to it, really made melody and hooks matter in those songs
I guess he's not singularly responsible for the genre, but it'd be super difficult to really pinpoint any one person because new styles of music are rarely individual. Keef was far and away the most influential and biggest name in drill music from its inception
i would argue that kanye ended up influencing hov lol crazy right?
100%
Where would jay be without them ye beats tbh
Edit: Seriously Kanye really revived alot of careers
example:
we wouldn't have the same tyler the creator if N.E.R.D or pharrell in general didn't exist
he'd go full Eminem mode
and would become hopsin tier
Drake would not exist without 808s kanye
he'd still be there
but less vulnerable and s***
more of an emulation of Wayne
100%

qtip and Lauryn hill too
Is this thread literally just naming artist influences or what
Feels disrespectful to say we didn’t have artists altogether like obviously everyone is influenced maybe they would’ve just taken a different approach with their music
If SGP didn't exist, underground rap would be filled with backpack rappers and ASAP Rocky wouldn't have found an aesthetic to latch onto.

No Kendrick, ASAP Rocky or The Weeknd without Drake
Imagine Tyler’s discog without the eminem influence damn
Maybe a more interesting threa would be like which artists would be better off minus a particular influence
no nav, a boogie without speaker knockerz
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who’s hip to this

he needed s*** like goblin to make 100% tasteful projects later in his career
