Gucci Mane vs Kendrick Lamar:Bigger impact and legacy on hip hop

[DerrtySouthpaw]

i'll give gucci both and he still not a better rapper. it is what it is

We're still talking Gucci influencing one artist vs. Kendrick altering the genre. "Control" wasn't even Kendrick's song and it warranted responses and reactions from everywhere. Then you have TPAB, which whether you loved or hated it, was also something that altered Hip Hop.

And no influencing Future isn't the biggest impact on the game.

Kendrick really hasn't altered the genre

Maybe you argue Drake altering the genre before Kendrick

Either way Gucci is more influential than both...

Sort of an awkward comparison

Kendrick had rappers either responding to the "Control" verse or fans of the rappers he mentioned waiting for the responses. When Cole and Drake dropped albums after, people were speculating which lines were directed at Kendrick. It wasn't even an official song. Right after Kendrick dropped GKMC, artists were trying to make albums with storylines similar to what he did with that album. Kendrick's music has created debates within and outside of Hip Hop, which have led to discussions that were bigger than his music. You have protestors using "Alright" as a soundtrack.

There's rappers that have directly influenced the individual styles of rappers that came later, it doesn't mean they were more impactful because there's others who have influenced an entire genre.

Control is a moment not influence or impact champ...

There's a difference between the two. Impact and influence are observed with TIME.


Control's moment has come and gone. You implying it still has impact in 2016 is a stretch lol

Influencing future is the biggest impact of the game Cuz future changed the whole rap game..

Control didn't change the whole rap game..

Kendrick rapping style didn't change that rap game ..

Hell we don't even mention Control anymore

Kendrick ain't nothing special .

Just a young kid wit lyrics

All these altering hip hop projects that Kendrick did ...


As of September 4th 2016 .. nobody is checking for dat shyt..

Breh slow down on all these threads

Impact = Kendrick

Legacy= Gucci

Gucci never had the impact on the level of Kendrick and is still pretty slept on even in his lane. He never made that one song or album that just created a ripple effect. I'm not talking about songs and albums that his fans or fans of trap rap were on. He doesn't have the type of impact that early T.I. and early Jeezy had. Even though a lot of people first heard Jeezy on Gucci's "So Icy", people give Jeezy more credit for taking trap rap mainstream than they do Gucci. Then there's the fact that it was the first time they heard a Zaytoven track. There's a plethora of artists and producers that Gucci put on, but a lot of people aren't up on it, which is why Gucci has more of a legacy of putting people on vs. him being impactful.

Delete this post.....

Kendrick hasn't even been more influential or impactful as Keef let alone Gucci

Future did not change the whole rap game. Sounding like someone is only part of the equation. When you look at albums and artists like Public Enemy and NWA, there's not really a plethora of artists who sound like them, but the impact of their music is undeniable. Why? Because their albums not only challenged the collective thinking of Hip Hop in regard to what was going on, but they also challenged America. That's bigger than influencing the styles of individual artists. Altering Hip Hop is more than just someone influencing individual styles. Pac influenced a lot of rappers, but that's not the end all/be all of his influence.

I didn't state that it was the only impactful thing Kendrick did. Tell me how this isn't impact:

Kendrick Lamar's 'Alright' Inspires Donald Trump Protesters

Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" Was The Movement's Anthem In 2015

Cleveland Students Protesting Police Violence Chant Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”

Breh...

You're showing your age. That has been done before. Hip hop music that inspired/define protests lol.....

(Fight the power, fukk the police, sound of da police, etc etc I could go on)

That didn't shift or alter anything.. That's business as usual.

I would probably go with Drake over Kendrick as it pertains to impact but it's still remain to be seen. They've both only been active but so long..

How am I showing my age? Did I say that Kendrick was the first to do it? No, I didn't. And before you go implying that I did, look at my reference to NWA and Public Enemy.

That's not business as usual. There's a lot of songs that could've been used in those protests. They chose "Alright" because they were inspired by it, which is a part of being impactful.

Gucci has only influenced the retarded rap fans and the south.

One could say they are one of the same.

But this thread is a joke.

 

[Marco Andretti]

Impact and influence ??


This @JustCKing guy is just reaching for the stars with this

Kendrick has a bigger impact but less influence

Like nikka what's the difference

Impact I guess is good ? Influence is bad ?
