ye for sure

Most of these rappers are also influenced by 50 tho

I think a better question would be how many rappers are influenced by 50 and not influenced by Ye and vice versa

This is directly who it comes down to. All them cool 2000s niggas: 50, Ye, Em, Nelly, Wayne, TI. All variations of Pac in some way during their prime

That whole decade required you to be a certain way if you were gonna dominate the rap/r&b space - and we know who that certain way is derived from

Kanye

Inspiration conversations always lead to a whole lot of nothing talk

The one with a video game and movie

Only thing French Montana influenced is how to f*** up the English language

no surprise the world’s only French Montana stan says something like this

all of the greatest artists to ever do music are generationally influential, but bro bro up there wants to neuter it into “nothing talk” lmao

All it leads to is artist 1 influenced this artist 2 ok but artist 3 influenced artist 1

yeah, music history is interesting

you can learn a lot about an artist or even a genre in general if you study one great artist and their influences

MJ for example got some of his performance swagger from James Brown

James Brown is influenced by Little Richard and Ray Charles etc.

prince is influenced by little richard too

dude had the juice back then

That’s fine, nothing wrong with learning history of where an artists sound comes from.

But a lot of (not all) the discussion on influence on here at least is used to dunk on the artists insert artist has influenced

When in really everyone is influenced by someone or something so it leads to a lot of arguments over nothing imo. Didn’t think my post was too controversial

But KTT and Complex hipsters been actin like Kanye is the only one for years, it's funny show that a lot artists is influential in the game like him

Yeah if we’re talking just music Gucci & Wayne also up there in influence

Gucci’s the greatest A&R in rap history

bro the highest selling rap album this year is comprised of like 50% donda hold overs lol

Any drill or street rap album that has came out this year has been influenced by 50 Cent.

That piss-poor Yeezus album ain’t outweighing all them records

pop smoke came from 50 cent influence, single-handedly revived NY

/thread

yeah definitely pop

Lmao you know 50% is forcing it
