mid 2000s run no one has pumped out mixtapes and studio albums of this quality and this quantity besides Gucci but I would argue that the quality Wayne takes the cake by a mile.

Wayne pretty much created work ethic, the interview has been taken down but a great line from fat Joe about the we takin over feature he goes on to talk about how now rappers would record a couple songs, go to the club party and a week later do a couple more. Wayne lived in the studio doing god knows how many tracks a day and changed the whole mindset of rappers, no one put pressure on the industry like Wayne did, every day was another hook or verse or mixtape that was coming out that Wayne would body and everyone else had to catch up.

I haven't seen another artist be able to take another artists song and have people remember Waynes version and have it be better than the original 80-90 percent of the time. does anyone even remember the original ice cream paint job?

created the term bling bling

doing a mil in a week the first artist to do so since 50, and had that album leaked 48 hours before release and both the leak and studio album were fire as hell.

Wayne also created a space for experimentation (relax Kanye Stans) that is so prevalent today with so many artists.

Songs like prom queen and phone home seemed out there at the time but now its like half the artists out follow that format and sound just like Wayne, not to mention the face tats and clothing.

there has never been a more prolific rapper to take both the streets and the mainstream at the same time, no one was more balanced (Gucci didn't break mainstream until he got out of the jail for the last time).

finally he is an underrated mogul, drake and Nicki are two of the biggest artists in the world and under ym,

• written by a very bias Wayne Stan

it's kanye /thread

The only thing that hurts Wayne is the Quality to Quantity ratio

Dude put out more mid than classics

OP is correct. only lames will disagree

same thing with thug and future

s*** was leaking like crazy back then I feel what your saying but if you look at the how many of those tracks are quality at that quality while for Wayne he has so much out that some feel it brings him down he still has more quality songs than any one else compared to their whole discography.

D1-D3

da drought

no ceilings

c1,c2,c3

those alone without all the hooks and verses as features he takes the cake but I feel what your saying

also forgot to mention the hook to duffle bag Boyz alone makes him the goat 😂😂😂😂

yea i think i heard something about he being influential in these forums

wayne and drake a power couple

Think kanye and wayne are equal in music, if other creative fields count ye wins

influence on music though Wayne wins, also Wayne has been developing apps for years, skate brands, monster collabs,

depends what you mean by creative fields

Been known

Dont see how wayne is more influential in music

And lmao nby knows these apps + monster collabs, kanye runs a multi billion dollar buisness and all his friends run all the big fashion brands

Dude’s kobe, he’s not afraid to shoot andnthats what pushes him in the end to deliver in big moments

billoon dollar because its Adidas lets relax here he wouldn't be able to make yeezy without them he doesn't have that money

virgil is Only Virgil because Kanye gave him his factories to make s*** for cheap and sell for 200 a t shirt not to mention have him wear it.

off white is just an earlier version of psych world, got on drake now its popping and Bia is cashing in.

Bro... did wayne programm the app himself?

Also virgil just one of ye‘s deciples that has a high position in a fashion house... ppl that worked with him are now running balenciaga, gucci, jordan, fear of god etc..

• someone like trav wouldve never gotten his own shoes if it wasnt for kanye

What does your last sentence mean? Dont get it

I agree he’s the best rapper ever

Obviously he couldn’t do it by himself he said so in several interviews that he didn’t have the infrastructure do so. But the reason it’s worth several billions is because of Kanye. Let’s not forget how he resurrected adidas after he popularized the ultra boosts

Factual thread. Musically Wayne the most influential ever. I wanted to be like him as a kid

Wayne been coding

Tru

future does a lot of the things you talked about

Quite possibly the most influential (unfortunately) but GOAT? F*** outta here😂😂😂

Makes me happy Wayne appreciation and reflection shows up so often on KTT 2. The GOAT
