    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

    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
