What is going on here? Dragging Kanyes music discography? What a MESS!

Kanye's first albums were incredible and changed the game in the hip hop community. Don't you dare to think that Drake and Kendrick would even exist the way they do to day if it wasn't for Kanye's Graduation album or MBDTM. Kanye was the first popular rapper to really change the game and switch up rap by incorporating autotune, other genres, own singing, etc., like no other rapper beforehand.

Yes, Kanye is a dickhead, egomaniac, etc., but y'all better not try to drag his genius. A One Dance, Hotline Bling, or Take Care wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Kanye.

The main difference is that they aren't popular doing it. He's not an rnb artists in the sense of an r kelly or Mary j blige. But he's def filling the rnb void on urban radio. 90% of the songs released from views are him singing.

N all the rnb acts rush to cover his rnb-ish songs. Marvins Room and Hotline Bling being the main examples.

Just because he's singing doesn't mean it's R&B. Nothing R&B about Hotline Bling either

yet every other rnb singer rushed to make their own version.
I don't know who made you the editor in chief of music genres, but they lied to you.

That's because it was a popular song so they covered it in order to gain buzz and promo or because they enjoy the song? How does that make the original song R&B? I'm sorry but that's drivel.

Now I don't who made YOU decider of music genres but you were lied to.

I've said this before and I will say it again: 808s gave birth to Drake's career

Lil Wayne is responsible for his career.

Kanye paved the lane for Drake to be successful with 808's. 808's was the template for Drake's aesthetic.
