There’s other tracks on that album

like Homecoming ft guy from Coldplay?

Tory off the list I don't think anyone fighting him too hard to keep on

Weak bait

No he hasnt he influenced singers and r&b niggas like i said. PND,Bryson Tiller,Weeknd,Tory these are singers who also rap.

Also half of Weeknd OG album was given to Drake to make Take Care so calling Drake his influence is insane.

That only raises my point he was influenced more then influential.

itt boomers projecting their teenage fantasies into historic interpretation

Man listed one song

Have yall ever heard about this “drake” guy?

It's so much mid on here and half these people list Kanye as their main influence from Chance to Gambino.

The style was already popular tho

F*** this thread took off I would just like to add I think it's important to consider the CURRENT STATE OD HIP HOP AS OF TODAY what sounds have prospered and ultimately WHAT DO WE WANT TO KEEP HEARING GOING INTO THE NEXT DECADE

Grad made rap cool to white kids who were not wannabe gangsters or weirdos like em fans, it created a whole new market

you onto sum

It still comes back to guwop and OJ the juiceman

...kellz... You hate to admit it

Tbh his influence is more noticeable in R&B than hip hop

When I think of Drake's sound The Weeknd, PND, Bryson come to mind.

And two of them were Drake's writers

Niggas- "Head had no influence and Drake was more influential"

Chance's rapping style is heavily influenced by Wayne ofc

And musically by Kanye

Andre 3000's influence is overlooked

Okay but as of 23/11/2019 who is top three I can't see anyone knocking off Kanye or Gucci at this point were arguing for 3rd

Contenders for me are Thug Drake Future

This

Since we using direct quotes

“When I first heard “Through the Wire” on the radio and right after that, my mom went and bought me College Dropout and then every Kanye West album since then,” he said. “That was the first real music that I called my own. That was a big thing for me. After that, I was able to reach back and find music that I loved that represented me growing up. That was my first real experience with hip hop.”

'College Dropout' Was My First Real Experience with Hip-Hop"

He's even said he didn't listen to rap before Kanye. Drake is an influence but nowhere near kanyes on chance.

Definitely not top 3 but honourable mention goes to Wiz

Lowkey influential

Somebody describe Drake's sound in 160 characters or less I'm going Twitter on your ass

YOUNG THUG HAS THE MOST ECCENTRIC VOICE IN HIP HOP PERIOD. THE SLIME WAVE CAN NOT BE IGNORED.
