Lil B vs Chief Keef vs Lil Wayne: Who Was The Most Influential Rapper Of The 2010s?

[Budda]

And people want to claim Keef as the most influential. LOL, watch Waka's "O Let's Do It" and "Hard In Da Paint" videos, that whole energy came from that. Also Flockaveli is a huge reason why Trap is omnipresent. Even had EDM hopping on it to create EDM trap.

I get you but Keef and by extension Chicago influenced the culture far more, lingo style, the dances production and music. I think even when sosa started getting into his singing bag, he influenced the Uzi Verts And co of this generation, Flocka or Gucci were not doing that.

That isn't the point. You do know people were using the Internet to their advantage before Lil B. The difference is they blew up off of the Internet be it one song or a mixtape. Lil B found a niche by trolling. People didn't know whether he was serious or just joking around. He built a fan base via MySpace through trolling.

And this was different from what Soulja Boy did with "Crank Dat".

When those artists started buzzing, CD's were still selling. Radio was still a factor and even bigger were the ringtones, which are two mediums that are obsolete.

You gonna tell me what lil b gets credit for that wayne and Gucci were doing? Or you gonna keep talking out your ass?

Keef got nikkax out here killin each other on a global scale

unfortunately it’s him

 

[JustCKing]

You just talking out your ass breh. You can't even name anything. Moving goalposts now.

Lil B definitely influenced with the repetitive kinda "dumbed down" intentionally outlandish lyrics.

Keef got it by a landslide. Wayne definitely had an enormous impact musically...but that’s it

 

[Chris Cool]

Kid Cudi should be on that list imo...if not for him, we wouldn’t had gotten 808’s that led to the emo lane that is still going strong today.

But the real answer is Chief Keef. Don’t Like is one of the most impactful rap songs ever and I stand by that...Look at how the energy changed. Not only he put the New Chicago on the map, but the slang, his look, the DIY aspect when it came to recording videos. The closest thing to that was probably the smack dvds but what Keef was doing with less to work with was refreshing.

He put the spotlight on Chicago and the younger generation that didn’t have a voice.

nikkas was on some cool shyt and then literally everyone wanted to claim BD, rock tru religions, etc.

Nobody do that Kanye shyt. All that autotune is evolution from Wayne.

Kanye's 808's inspired So Far Gone and it broke Kid Cudi. Kanye doesn't get credit for autotune, but when you hear what 40 was doing on So Far Gone even as far as jacking "Say You Will", it is clear early Drake was heavily Kanye influenced. Not even just him having a song over the instrumental, but Drake is on record talking about what 808's did for him musically.

Honestly, Wayne can't take credit for autotune either. That's T-Pain. When Jay came out with "D.O.A.", it was automatically assumed he was dissing Pain not Wayne because Pain was the poster child for auto-tune.

Naw people always try to credit Kanye with the emotional autotune shyt, but really that's some 3000, love below shyt.

Nobody was doing Kanye and T-pain style autotune in the 10s. It's that future style that was expanded on from Wayne was doing.

lolipop era to current wayne overall.

chief keef for street rappers and lil b for the mumble/troll("im gay")/weirdo/emo rappers.

i feel like kanye in there somwhere and other lesser guys like the cool kids...

ill put tpain in there too. thats just me though.

 

[Cadillac]

if we going by the amount of rappers, then perhaps wayne
but going off the impact culturally and even making a whole genre or atleast push it to popularity - Keef

Lil B is beat in either category

but nikkas is out of touch if they think Lil B doesnt have influence.
