    When the producer that played a huge role in the sound of this album said 808s was a big inspiration and add to the fact 40 was asking other producers to make him 808 type beats, why are ya deny 808s influence on the project.

    nobody is saying drake ripped off every song on 808s

    he has other influences as well

    literally out of 40s mouth - after Ye saying

    “I CAN’T EVEN BE MAD AT HIM,” SAYS 40 [SHORT FOR WORKING 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS…NOAH’S ARK, GET IT?) “BECAUSE THE LAST CD I LISTENED TO BEFORE I STARTED WORKING ON SO FAR GONE WAS 808S & HEARTBREAK.”

    /argument

    This article said nothing about 808s. Drake also said “one of” meaning there’s more than one. He’s stated Jay as an influence and Phonte is clearly someone he takes influence from

    "So before I met him, I had the utmost respect for Kanye West. I'd even go as far as to say he's the most influential person as far as a musician that I'd ever had in my life."

    reading comprehension is key bro

    He also has mentioned MULTIPLE times Jay was his biggest influence and how he used to sound like Joe/Wayne heavy on in the SFG/TML. Where did that article mention 808s influence on SFG which is what the thread is about?

    Drake and 40 took the 808s production and style and with some wayne/phonte/joe influence and made that dark sound more accessible

    Drake wrote 808s

  • Aug 22, 2021

    Super exaggerated.

    To the point where I wish he did learn more from 808s tbh.

    might be threadworthy tbh

    Kanye-Drake stan wars ablaze yet again

  • Saying he’s one of the influences is a true statement. But saying he completely birthed that sound and Drake wouldn’t exist is false

    A song produced by Kanye himself isn’t an example of being “influenced” by him

    Yeah you in here making no sense

    Realistically how many streams do those songs have and how significant are they to Drake’s career?

    Best I ever had sounded nothing like 808s

    those songs played a role in drake finding his sound. houstatlantavegas almost sounds like it could be on take care. Plus 40 cites say what’s real as the moment they discovered the ovo sound.

    I give drake more credit than kanye for changing the sound of the genre, but 808’s for sure has measurable influence on his music.

    Also Smack that by Akon and the tpain autotune app
