Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" is the single most influential song of the last 10+ years

[Xtraz2]

Name any urban song that doesn't sound like "trap" music.

Its that dark, moody, slow-tempo, sometimes electronic sounding vibe.

Give some examples

"Flashing Lights" and a lot of Graduation was Kanye being influenced by and chasing the sound of that time period. Out of Kanye's own mouth, Graduation would not sound like it does had it not been for JT's Futuresex/Lovesounds.
