    You have to learn about late 90s hip hop leading into early 00s hip hop to understand how he revolutionized rap with each of his first 4 albums leading into a masterpiece of number 5 opening a new decade and finally breaking every boundary in the genre with 6. You can’t name a single artist doing the same or close at the time these albums dropped.

    But how? He came out with boring beats except for spaceships

    Yes 808s came after tpain

    Tpain even said 808s is a remake of his album

    But you a Ye stan so you dont know that…

    Yeezus was literally the underground sound at the time too

    Name me a single tpsin song that sounds like 808s
    The only thing similar is the usage of auto tune

    808s is way more cudi influence than tpain, but this dumb s*** just shows how y’all bunch of kiddos who don’t know what the f*** you are talking about, not having lived through these eras

    internet buddy

    Graduation was the sound of mainstream hip hop for years

    I wouldn’t say all that

    The general aesthetic and feel of it stuck with acts like Sean and Cool Kids but mainstream hip hop in a vague sense didn’t casually have beats like Good Morning or I Wonder or Everything I Am. Only “synthy” type songs that represents that sound of the late 2000’s is CTMN Stronger Good Life. IMO tho

    Original isn’t the word I’d use. He’s good at incorporating other sounds and styles into what he got going on

    Sonically you’re not entirely wrong but it definitely rewrote the aesthetic of rap if we look at 05-06 compared to 08-09 which is exactly what “fucking up 50’s reign” was

    Let’s be clear though OutKast is in a similar ilk. They just aren’t as easily replicated the way College Dropout and Graduation birthed whole career aesthetics that other important artists could use; on the flip side you could say Kendrick and Kanye himself only could have existed because of Outkast/Tribe type acts

    But yeah one would only ask this question if they didn’t see how hip hop was before and after that Graduation to MBDTF run. He was remaking niggas whole careers and aesthetics in his image with each era change

    Yeah OutKast 100% opened the door for artists like Kanye and Pharrell to further revolutionize rap. I wish they would have continued dropping albums feeding off the new era to further co-lead the change.

    I mean it’s not Wayne OR Ye. They simoultaneously both rewrote this s***. Moreso aesthetically and how you do s***

    Wayne has not much to do with acts like Cool Kids or Wale the same way Ye don’t really have much to do with a Young Thug or Kodak
