Name an artist as influential to modern hip hop as Kendrick Lamar.

literally who

>>61712485
Kanye, Death Grips

the jews

if you can't name one then this seems like a pretty pointless thread

I don't really understand your thought process in making this thread, given there can be no discussion

think it through a bit more OP

>>61712485
Kanye

>>61712521
>Death Grips
Nice meme. Death Grips is irrelevant and has never influenced anything. Nice try though.

>>61712485
How is he even influential? Serious question

Kanye, Jay-Z

>>61712549
He isn't. He's a literally who outside of /mu/.

In all honesty it's probably Kanye or Chief Keef

>>61712570
>Chief Keef
Good one.

Kanye West, Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne, Drake

>>61712547
Kanye ripped off death grips, and since Kanye is seen as one of the most "innovative" and one of the most renowned hip hop artists out there, I don't know how Death Grips aren't influential.

this

if you want to talk about the greatest in modern hip hop, sure, he's a candidate
but influential?
first off, influence takes time
second, i'm having trouble coming up with any way that he's influential right now

>>61712577
yeah, it's a bit of a reach, but there are tons of people that are copying the "drill" sound and Keef was the most popular one

Lil B The BasedGod, The Pack and Viper The Rapper

Other than seeing him make a fool out of himself at some awards ceremony and an even bigger fool out of himself covering Bohemian Rhapsody at Glastonbury, I'm blissfully ignorant of Kanye West's music. I'm certain I'm not missing much.

>>61712547
Kanye got clear inspiration from them
David Bowie cited them as an inspiration

at this point, I'd argue it's only people who just hate them for the same of hating them, who don't consider Death Grips a moderate influence on modern music

>>61712521 Kanye is trash. Yeezus sucked and so do you.

wot

>>61713094
You do realize that nobody outside of /mu/ knows who Death Grips is, right?

>>61713071
how many more times are you gonna post this today?

I can't want for Swish to drop so mu becomes a safe haven for Kanye lovers again

>>61713067
>viper? hell no
Cloud rap legend and innovator

>>61713261
Yes, the two artists I just posted are not outside of /mu/

>>61713261
how delusional are you to think that

>>61712565
LOL is that why he's nominated for 11 Grammys

>>61713261
You should go outside more. Death Grips has about 250'000 fans on facebook. They are the first band that most people come across when they decide to get into more unconventional music.

>>61712578
Bingo

>>61713261
My normie friend told me that he's been seeing death grips all over the internet

Face it faggot, people like things that you don't

>>61712485
maybe not as influential, but i think Travis Scott is interesting also.

>>61712485
lmfao

"modern" this nigga never heard 90s hiphop or what?

Lil Wayne is the obvious answer if you know anything about hip-hop, the influence is pretty clear

>>61713279
until it becomes a meme

>>61713617
>Lil Wayne is the obvious answer if you know anything about hip-hop, the influence is pretty clear
this guy knows whats up

Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne, Eminem and Lil B are the most influential rappers of this generation and if you contest this you are literally just a butthurt moron. All rappers today are basically derivative of these guys

>>61713375

>They are the first band that most people come across when they decide to get into more unconventional music.

animal collective have more than half a million fans on facebook. you're talkin out of your ass, man. not even the fag you replied to, either.

DJ Screw.

>>61713071

Doesn't make him not influential though

>>61712578
/thread

>>61712578
>Kanye West
>Drake
for sure no. Kanye West literally sucks at rapping and Drake is too new

>>61713653
Animal Collective has been in the music business for 15 years now. Death Grips have only existed for 5 years and they gained 200'000 fans on facebook over the past 2 years alone (they were at 40'000 when I got into them, that was after NLDW dropped).
I'm pretty sure that anyone that wants to get into more experimental music today will stumble upon Death Grips very quickly.

>>61712485
Whoever invented Trap

>>61713861
You are retarded

>>61713938
Gucci's responsible for basically everybody gaining exposure in Atlanta

>>61713261
>72 on US billboard 200
>no one outside of /mu/ knows them

>>61712565
Pretty sure he got AOTY a few times. Fuck outta here you boofoo ass bitch. You're the type of person to wear fake Yeezy's.

>implying Kanye and Deaded Bowtie are relevant at all
Wow, what's next, am I supposed to care because hipster darlings like Bjork collaborated with them?

Please, you'll never hear their work on rock radio alongside Three Days Grace, nor will you hear them on hip hop radio alongside Future; they are as irrelevant as it gets. Neither of those artists you mentioned are more than a BLIP on the relevance radar, if that.
