Do yall ever get tired of this s*** lol

Dude has been on top of the game for a decade, obviously he’s influential lol.

Honestly these threads are made by dudes who got into rap 2013+

I don’t expect people like OP to realize 90s and early 2000s rappers ran the generic lyrical verse with R&B singer on the hook formula into the ground until Drake came along and popularized his current formula

🦉🌵🦉🌵🦉🌵🦉🌵🦉🌵🦉🌵🦉🌵

sounds like you're the one who got into rap in 2013 because every artist mentioned in op was singing and rapping on a song and not just using r&b singers
whatever you like was one of the biggest songs of 2008 and t.i. was singing rapping on it
stay delusional

He influenced Kanye West ambrosiaforheads.com/2013/08/kanye-west-says-he-and-jay-z-made-watch-the-throne-to-compete-with-drake-video

He wrote on father stretch my hands, 30 hours, Ye's Yikes and MBDTF's All of The Lights.

Influenced Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) "I will always be thankful—if it wasn’t for the light he shined on me, who knows where I’d be. And everything happens for a reason. You never know what I would say if this success wasn’t in front of me now." rollingstone.com/music/music-news/sex-drugs-and-rb-inside-the-weeknds-dark-twisted-fantasy-176091

Influenced Tory Lanez, Bryson Tyller, Justin Bieber, Khalid, Post Malone, all these trap R&B, pop rap guys.

Well, Drake influence comes since So Far Gone xxlmag.com/news/2019/02/drake-so-far-gone-mixtape-projects-influenced

The answer is nothing

Kanye & Cudi influenced Drake with 808s

Drake released Comeback Season before 808s&Heartbreak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ComebackSeason(mixtape)

His real influences are Jay Z and Lil Wayne.

Big Sean basically been copying Drake formula of pop rap recently.

You take the bait

You get replaced

Yep, but that influenced adds up to other influences, its not the main, hes not copycat of Kanye. Actually Kanye got more contributions songwritting wise from Drake.

tone deaf trap

comparing whatever you like to cameras/good ones go or take care or marvin’s room is pretty delusional my guy.

yes rappers ‘sang’ before. not like drake. it’s not like everyone’s stupid and you’re the only one who sees everybody did drake before drake lmaoo

And there’s an instance where Biggie a gangster rapper did a literal duet with Puffy but did he influence the entire genre to adopt that style ? No

There are various artists that have started singing/rapping years before Drizzy but whos directly came out and said Ja Rule, 50, Biggke or TI influence them to sing?

You clearly can’t read because there’s a huge difference between doing it first and popularizing a style/generation to follow your formula

He put Toronto on the map.

When you actually look at the So Far Gone tracklist it becomes apparent that the actual inspiration is not musically

808s doesn't sound like November 18th, Best I Ever Had, Successful, Uptown, Little Bit, Unstoppable, Ignant S*** etc

I can keep going

Drake influenced the Brysons, Weaknd, Party’s of the world. And basically made being a simp “cool”. I’m sure someone can go into further detail.

Drake literally dominated 2010s mainstream hip hop billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/8543528/decade-in-charts-2010s-r-b-hip-hop

Its his influence.

Kanye flat out said 808s is his take on 80s synth pop, Drake is more Neo r&b

And even Brand New leaked on the internet before 808s even started production
