I argue the clothes/style thing with my brother all time.. he made a good point when he said Wayne is never the first to do anything fashion wise but when HE does it the shyt explodes (skinny jeans,the jim jones look).

I disagree with that because in the early part of his career HOV was the major influence on what people wore and what people thought was acceptable to wear.Dudes like Kanye and Andre were up on that 'weird' tip for a minute before dudes thought it was acceptable When he hopped on the 'swag' style he started ODing on it to the point where people are just looking at him like :scusthov:. I don't think any single person can claim to be the major influence on baggy clothes or whites tees. That's just up in the air.

I think he did have an influence on people getting stupid tats though.

EDIT: smh I just saw your edit. That shyt is truly disgusting man. I hate how young buls are losing their lives over that dumb shyt.

:laff::laff::laff:


but anyways....

-started auto-tune in hip-hop, brought that shyt to the forfront..nikkas like Kanye ran with it, while nikkas like Future based their whole career around it, Jay tried to kill it, but it ultimately backfired on him

-signed and developed 2 superstars, Ye has Big Sean and Cudi who are B-list at best

-founder of the most popular label in hiphop

-the most featured artist in music of ALL TIME, think about that for a second


t-pain had top 10 hits with autotune before wayne

ex..

2006




2007




ALL TOP 10 hits

^^^^^ ALL BEFORE WAYNE EVeR TOUCHED AUTOUNE




wayne didnt make auto-tune hot... he RODE the wave of HYPE that was surrounded by AUTOTUNE... but "got money" and lollipop" made it even more popular

-brought a more punchline oriented rapping into hiphop....even Big Sean said he was inspired by his earlier work

-like someone mentioned, the excessive tats
How can you give Wayne credit for a label that founded on a label, which was founded on another label? Baby gets the credit for that or no one does. You think while that dumb nikka was losing his shyt oding codeine he was making the business deals?

To tell you the truth, every rapper under 30 that has come out in the last 8 years have either directly bit or taken influence from one of these guys.

I'm gonna call it a tie with Kanye without a doubt beating Wayne in 2012.

Wayne - 2005,2006,2008,2011
Kanye - 2004,2007,2009,2012
Late Registration and Be in '05. That's a lot of records sold and influence on that hip-hop community. Both classics to a lot of people.

'05 was a breakout year for Wayne but Kanye got that. 2010 Kanye dropped MBDTF.

Carter 4 was the bigger album but it was a total dud to fans. I'd have 2011 as a draw.

Wayne got influenced by 'Ye to drop something experimental in Rebirth. Had Drake's whole style is a Kanye soundbite. Wayne has shown himself to be a follower.

In terms of influence:
Kanye > Dipset >>> Wayne.

I give Wayne credit for signing the artist and sticking with them. You remember Nicki back in 07?



he was also one of the first dudes to reach out to Drake...and Wayne's impact def was a reason Drake is as popular as he is today
