thats not the point lol its supposed to be like that, he laid the brick for soundcloud and legitimized it to the point kids found it to be the big leagues for their musical endeavors
He released music on the platform but he didn’t make it what it is. Nobody associates him with the platform or the greater SoundCloud movement
It’s not personal at all lmao, Trippie has just bounced from sound to sound his entire career, if you use him as an example anyone who’s ever had a popular record is influential
Give me an example and I'd you say trip at knight then you don't know ball
He popularized modern beat switches
He was the first to surprise drop
His features from the 2010s were a generational run that assisted many moments and careers to manifest
His sound with 40 bred an entire regional sound that’s found its fingerprints in other regions
He was not the first to surprise drop
I’d argue Travis popularized beat switches, even though Drake technically was doing them first
The features got nothing to do with musical influence, that’s exposure
Yes, 40 did create a sound that was influential, but its’ influence was on R&B/pop music, not rap
Just imagine the Migos and Future influence in rap scene RN.
Now, imagine Migos and Future without Drake help.
Nigga Drake pushed the rap culture to another level. The man got the vision.
Offset said last week: "I rock with Drake — that's my boy. He stamped Migos"
That’s exposure
i must not spend enough time online then, just saw a thread yesterday where people discussed its classic status and the quotes were like 70/30 on no lol
The 70 was probably Drake stans

Yeah everything you refuted just isn’t true I won’t even waste my time
@illegalnecessity @TommyCampos
Here’s a playlist of the most streamed songs in the history of the platform
Drake ain’t even in the top 20

I see what @illegalnecessity is saying about Drake legitimizing SoundCloud as a platform, but I also see what you’re saying in that when people think about the most prominent artists to be birthed from SoundCloud, nobody is thinking of Drake
bro just said travis popularized beat switches
Theyll say anything. Pure hater blood
Drake stans are desperately tryna make him into a Soundcloud rapper and take credit for popularizing something he never popularized in the first place
drake wasnt the first surprise dropper but he def made it way more popular. he also was the first time a rapper dropped a "commercial mixtape" because iyrtitl came out on soundcloud at the same time it came out on itunes, shortly before being deleted
how does this site have a better glass effect on its post reply button than apple has for their new ios
bro just said travis popularized beat switches
Nothing to even say further with that guy lol
That’s exposure
Migos sound back in the day was strange AF, without Drake pack they would be just a Trinidad James/Travis Porter and rap game nowdays maybe would be another thing.

Nah he wasn’t the first to do a surprise drop. Even Beyoncé did it before him in 2013
I hate when yall Drake Stan’s give credit to drake for things that other artists did first. This is why you need to listen to more music
