Everyone classifies him as a meme rapper before even heard him or after 1-2 songs without realising how creative he actually is.I don't see how someone can make a better feature on the beats he does, of course its given that he has a few bad song but that happens to pretty much anyone but when he do it right it is completely different and better everyone else. I will give a recent example since everyone knows UD and UM already, listen to hocus pocus and tell me if anyone would have did it the same way like him and that good on top of that.
He's pretty influential considering he was doing all the things all the new wave Soundcloud rappers are doing now 4 or 5 years ago.
He also managed to get himself on Frank Ocean's album which was pre cool

Its mostly the visual style, pretty much nobody has so many flows like him

Just listened to this for the first time, thanks, definitely my new favorite track
Yung Lean was incredibly influential, honestly. I can't really pinpoint what is it that made him so influential, but I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say it's something related to genre fusion between vaporwave and its aesthetics with hip hop. It kinda shows today in the "chill lo-fi hip hop beats 24/7 for studying" livestreams on YouTube, too; that same mentality from vaporwave had an effect on hip hop and its production stuff.
its cute that you think he makes his own beats

where did I said that, I clearly said rapper, not a rapper and producer.

i havent liked a single from him since yoshi city. he had a hot streak for a while there but i think that's done. the project with Dean Blunt was good, tho.
