i wish me

Hypefiend has put out very influential music

I've never listened to Kanye and I don't mean that in a hipster way, I truly haven't.

Is it worth it?

you mean to say you have not heard this emotional masterpiece




I JUST WANNA BE A REAL BOY

Can't even hit it and quit it.

Wu made hip hop accessible and fashionable even in Switzerland, so I guess there's them.

but basically all the argueing in this thread really proves it's kanye.

I don't think this is really a question that can be answered. You would really have to break it down by genre.

What you would need to do is probably find the most genre defining artists of today but even then the influence they have will probably be allocated to a very specific type of music. By genre defining I don't mean they necessarily created the genre, just that when you think of a genre of music these names are what would probably come up most often.

A pretty good example of most recent would be Tupac or Notorious BIG, and even then it's not too recent. But If you ask any hip-hop artist who their influences would be and you can almost guarantee either one of them would be at the top, if not both of them. Maybe someone like a Nas or Scarface would come second or third. I would probably not put Kanye on the list simply because there's massive communities out there that absolutely despise him and his music while someone like Tupac or BIG are almost unanimously considered as being great.

For my generation my list would probably be as follows:

Metallica
Iron Maiden
Pearl Jam
Nirvana(even though I'm not a huge fan, you can't deny their influence)
Alice In Chains
Nine Inch Nails
Sublime
311
Rage Against the Machine
Pantera
Radiohead
Tool
Tupac
Notorious B.I.G(Again, not a personal favorite, but his influence can't be questioned)
Bone Thugs N Harmony
Wu-Tang Clan
Aaliyah
Janet Jackson
TLC
Boyz II Men
Mary J Blige

For electronic music I would have to comprise a completely different list that would probably just be too long. It's such a vast range of styles that come from all over the world. It would probably take way too long to go back through my history of electronic music listening to be able to make that list in an acceptable manner.

fucking 311? are u smokin the ganj bro?

I have yet to hear a Kanye tune that is stomachable, I don't get the hype.

sure but you can read right?
