Sure artists were making music before, but they weren't successful until the influence of 808s. Replacement Girl and Drake's 2 mixtapes before 808s sounds very different to Drake from So Far Gone-present music. The crookers version didn't come out until late November/early December 2007. Had some good records but even among Kanye West fans, it seems like 808's and Yeezus consistently rank towards the bottom of his albums.Ĭlick to expand.According to wikipedia, Day N Nite was released on February 5, 2008. Thought "Heartless" wasn't all that and "Love Lockdown" was terrible. And when you say "He may not have necessarily inspired them", you seem to get what I'm saying.Īnd for the record, I liked "Amazing" and even "Paranoid". I don't disagree that Kanye contributed to it's popularity though. Outkast in general with their production. Which is why I mentioned several artists that could easily be considered pioneers or "influencers" to what I guess we're saying is a "sing/rap emo" sub genre of music.Īnd Andre did it well and did it BIG. Rarely is there ONE influence on anyone or anything. Whether or not these songs/artists were well known by the casual listener has absolutely NOTHING to do with the belief some of you have that Kanye influenced these artists who were already making their music before 808's dropped.Īgain, it's disturbing how many of you focus on this "influence" nonsense. Was 2 mixtapes in before 808's.Īnd you seem to have missed the point entirely. Drake had "Replacement Girl" on BET in 07. Day N Nite was out well before 808's and all over the radio.
