Drake had like 4 projects out by the time The Weeknd debutted
i guess that means drake never influenced the weeknd
what kinda logic is this
Drake obviously influenced The Weeknd
Drake obviously influenced The Weeknd
I meant "does that mean the weeknd never influenced drake"
all of these artists get influence from each other. idk how this is so hard to understand for you guys
you're right, it's far more than influence
a whole piece of critically acclaimed art wouldnt exist without drake
That’s still not musical influence. He inspired them to team up because they were threatened by his popularity. That album sounds nothing like Drake music

alright so what drake album sounds like any kanye album
the point is they took elements from each other. Ye changed his whole style of songwriting because of Drake. He literally had Drake writing him whole songs lol
New Again is literally Drake
are you telling me Ring Ring Ring isn't a nokia clone? Lol
No? Are you saying it is because they’re both about… phones?

House of Balloons doesn’t sound anything like Drake’s first four projects

So Far Gone literally uses an instrumental from 808s
Mango rn:

Imagine using a Donald Trump quote to prove you’re right about something
hey, what are your top 10 Drake songs
I can’t believe Drake stans don’t understand the difference between influence and popularity
No? Are you saying it is because they’re both about… phones?
you';ve gotta be deaf
@mangotflu
idk that changes every week lol what does it even matter?
The main reason Drake is my favourite artist is because of how good he is at being influenced by others, no other artist comes close to his ability at that. I'd never doubt that Drake has been influenced by others lol, it's the best thing about him

Not sure what your point is here tbh, i've never said drake influenced ye more than the other way around. Just that they've both influenced each other a lot.

No Kanye album post-the arrival of Drake sounds like it could be a Drake album. The only Kanye songs that sound “Drake influenced” are the ones Drake has writing credits on
That’s not influence that’s collaboration lmao

Just trying to see if you really love Drake or if this is just a bit but that answers my question. Respect
It’s 2025 and Drake fans still can’t accept that modern hip-hop is a mixture of Future, Thug, Keef, Carti, Wayne, and Kanye more than any other artist
No one was trying to rap like Drake like that guys it’s okay
IF IT WASNT FOR WAYNE IT WOULDNT BE
OK so drake influenced the weeknd, but why do I, and tbh, a lot of people... want to listen to weeknd songs more than drake songs
With this logic lil Wayne is drakes daddy, because not only was he an influence musically, he was his ticket in, and allowed drake to mercilessly copy his entire style of rap, voice and all whilst being signed to his label, and then ditched him for Atlanta
