Game changing albums

I think Ready to Die was the album to open up that lane. That album and Nas losing to Big at the Source Awards is what led to IWW being made the way it was

The difference is Ready To Die wasn't flossy with the commercial gloss or polish that IWW had. With It Was Written, Nas managed to balanced the Trackmasters flair for turning '80's Pop loops into commercial smashes with production from Havoc and Premier. He still kept the storytelling vivid and the lyricism sharp, but he was more laid back and took the risk to sing, which Biggie also did on Life After Death after dabbling with it a little bit on Ready To Die (his attempt at singing "What's Love Got To Do" during one of the verses).

This. Without Trap Muzik, there would be no Jeezy. One listen to Jeezy's earlier music before he got on is evidence of that.

Jeezy was just wack back then. He changed his style and pretty much created a genre

Weezy did it way before yeezy.

Prositute flang>>>>> shyt was the goat simping song as soon as It dropped

It was really around the same time but when it came to that auto tuned singing shyt Yeezy had more influence than Wayne

nah I think Wayne did. Dudes like future, thug, ect. Def has take more influence from Wayne then ye.

One can also post

“I like the way he [Leonardo DiCaprio] carries himself and how much he lives his work. That is something that I hope to accomplish. I don’t think I live my work…Second would be Jimi Hendrix, I love how he just performed under pressure…Third would be Jay-Z. Everything about Jay, how long he has been in the game as a rapper, you know how intelligent he is, you know who he is married to…Fourth, I would have to say, in my life, I would have to attribute Kanye West with a lot of inspiration…And last I would have to say Andre from OutKast. The whole Outkast being a part of my childhood.”

And say ohh look at Drake he's acting style was stolen from DiCaprio, his singing style stolen from Jimi Hendrix, his rapping style straight jacked from Jay, Kanye and Andre omg omg .

What's next we're gonna say that TPAB was straight copy of MMLP cause Eminem influenced K dot

That is VERY debatable. It definitely wasn’t outright. I do agree with the rest of your post. Wayne was the rapper that did it first. Kanye was the first time people seemed to take it more serious. It always seemed like Wayne was fukking around when he did it

As long as we acknowledge that he did it first

It's debateabe for sure.

But Weezy just made better music.

Me and My Drank

In The Morning

Kanye put Wayne on 808s because he knows he sharked Wayne

Wayne announced an RNB autotune singing album called DEVOL in early 2008

Then changed it to rock/Rebirth after 808s.

Kanye is a genius so I'm sure he was going to do it anyway but Wayne and Kanye the goats of the 2000s.

Wayne made xo tour life before Uzi







My boy deserves WAY more credit.

But the contract situation has really stalled him these past few years

Thank you someone else sees it too

They literally singing auto-tune have dreadlocks and rap about drinking lean

Kanye had more influence on people like Drake and J Cole and shyt.

My white teacher used to pull off listening to graduation when I was in college... Kanye definitely had a lot of fans but I personally think more white people liked him than black people until he dropped wait till I get my money right

Ready to Die had Juicy and Big Poppa. The he had the One More Chance remix. All three looped popular 80s loops

Yeah it was hard to take Wayne serious with it when he was making songs like Lollipop

Exactly. RTD was far more glossy than IWW, yet Nas was crucified

Edit: far more was probably going too far.

IWW while not being a complete 180 from Illmatic, was more radio friendly. Big was always rapping over old R&B songs, (Mister Cee sh!t), so in hindsight his commercial joints weren't that much of a break from what he was already doing. Nas going from Illmatic to IWW was more drastic IMO. Reminds of the transition BCC had with For the People. Went from Beatminerz to that Night Riders sound, and it obviously wasn't a good shoe for them to wear. DITC in latter years did the same IMO.

Sampling the Eurythmics and him singing the chorus took it a step futher than what Puff and co. did with Ready To Die and the remixes.
