Logic is a chameleon just like Tory. They both just copy whatever is popping
Logic copies Eminem, Kendrick, Drake, Cole, etc
Tory copies Wayne, The Weeknd, Drake, Kendrick, etc
That reminds me of lil skies dude was a cheap version of each popping rapper from 2010 to 2015 before he found his style
Lmao he tried to go 100% drake clone until kendrick and cole success proved he didn’t have to
What do we have to say about Kenny and Cole.. bar purist?
Whether you like him or not, I think it's quite dumb to say Drake didn't influence an entire wave of melodic rappers and rappers that are more open to exposing themselves emotionally.
FACTS
He didn't start the wave had already started infact the cover he did for the freshman class he was apart of was based around the fact Hip Hop had changed.
This may be an age thing but Drake wasn't considered the starter on that he was APART of the wave That came post 808s.
He just got the biggest out of the group but that doesn't designate him the wave starter or influence.
He was a result of Ye off 808s
papi looking so pretty here
One of the things I hate about the internet is with even more info folks rewrite s*** even more.
There's this new idea 808s wasn't groundbreaking,that T Pain deserves credit for starting the wave and that Drake wasn't influenced by it.
But no everyone from XXL to the artist themselves acknowledge it as the final breaking point. Graduation killed Gangster rap and 808s buried it. The wave was started by Ye.

I guess, i remember logic’s producer had beef with him cause he thought he was biting kendrick too hard
Rocky as well
Tbh Rocky gets his own conversation that first album was a Sonic masterpiece clams casino proddy I never heard much like it since even tbh

Grad was just Kanye goin pop and had 0 influence on the culture whatsoever. You can argue 808s had influence and Tpain was def the grandfather of autotune usage
7:15
This is just Testing era but there are many older vids by Rocky where he's gushing about Cudi
Everyone literally everyone
Tory Lanez
Bryson Tiller
PND
Weeknd
Nav
Kanye
Logic
Childish Gambino
G Eazy
And he influenced all of his contemporaries from the Ye’s to the Qs to the whole genre of Hip Hop. He created a flow and way of melodic singing and rapping on beat that is the defining sound of the 2010s
So many people will sit here and deny it but Hip Hop is chronological. We can find every post by every one of these guys that gave it up to Drake and unless you were there when we saw Drake drop and the wave of rappers that started using diff flows and formats is massive. I wanna fullly make a fleshed out post on this and love to have an objective discussion
Drake has clawed his way back into the convo I will allow it
Grad was just Kanye goin pop and had 0 influence on the culture whatsoever. You can argue 808s had influence and Tpain was def the grandfather of autotune usage
This whole post so bad Idk how to respond tbh

I don’t think there would have been this whole cudi/wale/2009 backpack wave without Grad
And Cudi birthed Travis ffs
Schoolboy and Isaiah stan him, so does Ferg
Y'all gotta put some respeck on Cudi's name
Yeah it's rappers who sing but Tory is the biggest one and he ain't even done 100k yet or has a major hit.
Until someone is actually successful with your style I don't think I can call you an influence.
Gucci,Future,Thug,Keef, Wayne and Ye all have Niggas damn near hitting they styles and looks even now.
The autotune,fashion,dreads,Trap,art talk it's all from them.
LUV most definitely a major hit
Say It arguably as well

I will never disagree but I see a difference in 808s and Drake's early sound Kanye may have birthed it but Drake did bring something to the table.m hate the direction he ultimately went with his sound tbh that future collab ruined Drake for me
He said Grad had no influence on the culture whatsoever like rappers were name dropping Murakami before He brought him into that game
It's so much off wit that post from the fact it inspired Tyler's colorful style and Chances aswell Idk what to say.
Grad was just Kanye goin pop and had 0 influence on the culture whatsoever. You can argue 808s had influence and Tpain was def the grandfather of autotune usage
Huh lmao
Grad started the pop rap wave followed by C3, Paper Trail, Blueprint 3.. issa classic
A nigga just downplayed Graduation as an influence on the culture ITT lock it up

Ofc Drake brought something to the table
That's the diff between being influenced by someone and just ripping him off like Tory does
Name em
Tiller
Chance
Tory
Sean
Russ
Gambino
Kyle
Vic Mensa
Logic
G-Eazy
Post Malone
A boogie
PND
Just a few examples that I could think of, Not saying he invented the style but he definitely popularised it, aka influenced.
I guess, i remember logic’s producer had beef with him cause he thought he was biting kendrick too hard
It's hard to call them influential tho.. you know what I mean. They've been trying to spot bars from the beginning and be top dawg pun intended
I don’t think there would have been this whole cudi/wale/2009 backpack wave without Grad
you tryna tell me Drunk n Hot girls birthed a whole wave
foh LMAO
