Lil wayne definitely did influenced a whole generation including Future, Young Thug and the Lil's

I think 95% of "copies" are just people who were influenced by the people they grew up listening to. When they set out to make music they're not even thinking about their influences, they're just making something they want to hear. Also Logic made a really good point that a rapper's sound is not just their sound, it's the people who produce the music too. People like Terrace Martin and Thundercat are incredible artists - if I'm trying to make something amazing am I just gonna avoid working with them so people don't say I sound like Kendrick? No way bruh.

Snoops Migo flow is always hilarious

People always leave the second half of the quote off. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” Inspiration and copy paste behavior is totally different. Great video, I’m glad someone’s speaking on it

"People don't buy music in this day and age, they buy the brand."

These are great topics, but this channel relies too much on the opinions of Fantano, Shawn Cee, and Dj Akademiks. Using their opinions as proof isn't a compeling argument.

Mario Judah and yeat being carti’s kids is accurately hilarious 😂

Shawn Cee the only one who can roast you viscously using a professional voice 😂😂😂😂😂

That's why mainstream hip hop has been run into the ground in the 2020s decade and the underground been dominating

What drives me crazy is when the fans of these clone rappers start saying they’re better than the original 😵

It's not just Hip hop/Rap. It's rock, soul, jazz, Mexican music, pop every musician copies.

Most rappers go through a phase in which they wear their influences heavily. If you come across Kendrick’s old music when he was K Dot, the Lil Wayne & Eminem influence is strong, he just had time to find his own lane before he became well known.

The worst part about hip hop is the lack of hop, way too much hip

Lil Wayne Has The Most Children Of All 🫠🤔

I feel like NF was influenced by Eminem but he has his own sound and style of music. He covers different subject matter, with different flows and completely different bars.

I'm proud to have been a teenager in the 90s. When we went to buy albums we didn't know what to expect because each artist made it a point of honor to have their own style and their own sound. Today I feel like I always hear the same thing and the number of albums that come out every day is insane

Having a Morgan and Morgan ad is so funny and the number one way to make your channel feel like it should be playing on a TV in a waiting room at the dentist

The issue is that fans associate quality and good music to artists that they most like and anyone that is that close to that artist, will be praised for being next up. Anyone that sounds so overly different and tries to reinvent the wheel gets ignored or is deemed trash. You have to connect to rap fans as…”Oh he sounds like….” and then you attract that artists fanbase which helps you blow up.

They showed a pic of Fake Drake instead of the real one, I'm dead.

Bro, Snoop goin in on Migos in that clip was wild tho 😂😂 I felt like that when they first came out, it took me a long time to appreciate the fun side of the hip hop trap rap. I was born in 1989 in Flatbush New York, just for reference lol

What's with Shawn talking about Drake and Jack Harlow? He makes Drake sound like he's a lyrical spiritual miracle wordsmith or something

"bad artists copy, good artists steal" - Picasso

The human brain loves the comfort of something it is used to, it also loves the sensation of surprise when experiencing something new or different. In the music industry new rappers often sound like older ones but they add their sauce to it so it works perfectly and the majority of people love them. Never forget that what works the most in artistic industries is always what the people want, whether you like it or not.

I love videos like this because they encourage up and coming artists to be more creative

carti whole label is just carti clones

Tory Lanez is one the best copy paste rappers he completely embodies other styles The Game does it well and Of course Desiigner is like reverse flash to future's flash lol

While I completely agree with your take on Token's early career (Even Token agrees with this assessment), I do think you guys are really doing him a disservice by not covering, or, at the very least, mentioning his massive growth as an artist over the last few years. He has really come into his own unique, chill, and laid back yet technical style. He has gone on record stating that he has deliberately put in a lot of effort over the last few years to really separate himself from the "lyrical miracle" type of rap style, as well as disassociate himself from that sort of fanbase. I was never a fan or listener of token (mostly because I thought he sounded corny af), but his last project really caught my attention. His track "Amsterdam" with Benny the Butcher really caught my attention, as it demonstrated a ton of improvement/ growth as an artist, and his new flow really sounded smooth and buttery af on that track. Of course, there's still quite a few things he needs to work on in order to help develop past that sort of style, but imo he's actually a great example of an artist actively working to grow past/distance themselves from the corny/cringe "lyrical miracle" style/fanbase in a positive manner.

Using fake Drake in that picture had me dead! 🤣😂🤣😂

He meant the gap between Harlow and drake's ghost writers

Jack Harlow makes Drake look like Golden Age Black Thought😂

It’s actually incredibly hard to be unique and successful in anything. Because everything’s pretty much been done. When it comes to creative industry’s like music, film, fashion, etc most things are created with influence from people previous to them. I wouldn’t call that copying

Cordae has insane potential it will be sad if he never reaches it

Snoop ain’t had to do all that in that intro 😂

i agree with all the artists besides the Cordae one. As a fan of both, i do not see resemblance. I hear alot of boombap beats on cole, whereas i see alot of melody from cordae.

That snoop Dogg's clip never gets old 😂

The industry push behind Jack Harlow was ridiculous. Sad thing is labels are way more willing to put money behind basic white rappers just because of the demographics the can get to

im learning to accept that their are no rules to music and hiphop blends into all genres depending on the influences of the Artist. - to each his own

Cordae got looped into this convo so fast. I remember he was the old head’s favorite young rapper when he came out. Now they talk about him like he’s Logic or somebody.

J.cole is Definitely not a sleepy rapper. A lot of people have short attention spans and want some type of trap beat for every instrumental.

NF has songs that are personal and has definitely come out to be his own rapper with his own style. The dude is talented regardless of how much Eminem affected him. Plus he doesn’t even cus which is the polar opposite of Eminem.

Yup more fire content thank you keep it coming 👏🏻👏🏻

Creativity is at all time low these days

Cordae is kinda nice with it though. Him and Wayne have a pretty sick track together. Also the SUPERB IRONY of saying people sound like Drake is peak hilarity.

It takes time to piece together a style and make it fit somewhat with what's current. But all the originals figured it out so no pass for that.. I think it's because of the way the internet consumes music. You got under developed artists putting out songs that go viral overnight and ppl are reaching the masses before they fully develop their own voice.

This gonna be GOOD!

This also happens with some underground rappers a lot of them have the same flow different lyrics which doesn’t make them stand out it just sounds like they’re talking over a beat or listening to someone trying to be exactly like who they’re influenced by instead of being unique

Snoop talks like he had more than one flow

Every white rapper who is remotely lyrical automatically gets compared to Eminem even if they sound nothing alike or even rap about the same things. "You are white, and lyrical. So you are Eminem".

idk how this channel dont have 1mil. Quality insane. great topics. Man im finna start my channel.

Your videos are put together so well bro foreal I been here almost since the beginning and ima need more videos kuz I damn near watched everything on this Channel 🤣💯🔥 keep up the good work bro your channel is top tier.

Im not gonna lie, token definitely used to have a lot of similarities with em. But his new work with this last year or 2 is great. He is definitely coming into his own sound.

& this is why Curren$y is my favorite Rapper of all time, ORIGINALITY!! Spitta sounds like nobody & has his own lane

Great content my friend! Always learn allot 🙏

Thank you !! 😩🙏🏾 I was just saying this in my head.

A lot of rappers right now , a lot of unknown rappers won't blow up but will take fans from mainstream rappers

Kendrick and logic are both inspired by wu tang clan, also theres no similarity beetween them, the only thing that they have in common is production

*I swear y’all have talked about this same topic about 3 times now 💀*

The triplet vocal cadences were first heavily seen in Memphis rap like three six mafia, and Tommy Wright 3

I see a LOT of that in Detroit.......We gotta certain production stye and flow that everybody keeps doing over and over again

I mean, wasn't the term 'Stan' created because of Em? I'm not even a Em fan, but I've seen a thousand clones.

feel like artist that have simlar flows is bound to happen regardless eventually in not just hip hop but any genre but compared to stealing lyrics from other artist, this aint the worse crime a rapper can commit. Great video tho man ^^

6 months later and its still a good video!!

We're at the point that any successful artist inadvertently makes their own genre with the sheer amount of artists they inspire and the endless void of "type beats" that are not only on KZfaq but production sites like Beatstars. Everyone wants to be an artist and if you want to be they do what they know will sell. When an artist does good (example: Playboi Carti). They bring with them artists that are derivatives of them (Yeat, Ken Carson, etc)

Shawn Cee calling j Cole a “pretty good rapper” is exactly the reason I don’t watch his content

It is influence if you acknowledge your idol and try to add your own kick to it but if you use the same flow, delivery, beat selection, lyrics, swag, persona, & overall sound (voice/autotune) and deny you ever heard of that particular artist that’s the definition of copy and paste rappers.

This is something I feel a lot of aspiring artist fear of. I, myself, love this music genre, however, I know if I was to ever put out music, I'd end up being told I'm trying to sound like various rappers. It's deemed to happy to everyone.

Boy, I tell you something. They better be glad that this isn’t the 1990’s. I mean if this was going on during that time, must of these copy and paste rappers would’ve had their ass kicked

How does this not start with Drake himself? That was his whole modus operandi.

Well written video. Good work

Honestly as someone who has done a deep dive into NFs music it’s actually quite good and I think most people just calling him an “Eminem clone” haven’t fully realized the talent he has of his own

Yo Mario Judah is hilarious when he's spazzing out.

You're a good ass writer bro...keep it up.

Good analysis 💯

Ayo, you be sliding them promos in the video smooth af lmfao! And, you be doing it good too. You get the video statted, lay the foundation of your video to grab attention, and then BOOM lmfao!

Joyner Lucas is kinda a Eminem clone too

Bro how’d you get a Morgan sponsorship that’s wildddd congrats

3:05 😂😂😂😂😂 "and his eventual nemesis MGK" brooooo wtf this man is rly iconic for achieving this status

Great vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love how Token, Hopsin, Dax, and NF don't care about being a "clone". They just enjoy making music the way their favorite artist did. They know they're not mainstream and they seem to like staying "underground". In my opionion, they get thrown the most shade.Just let 'em be, you don't have to listen to them if you don't want to, but you shouldn't just hate them for being "carbon copies"

That’s most ny drill rappers rn

this gotta be the first youtube video i've seen that has a better call saul ad in the middle of it

1. Jack Harlow can only compare to drake when he makes his generic equal to McDonald’s tape tracks. 2. Who the HECK is NF or Token? 😂😂😂

we really having lawyers in sponsorships now 😭😭

Snoop said it best

Bro a Morgan and Morgan ad on KZfaq 😭😂 I’m getting old. Never seen them anywhere but tv commercials lol good for you bro I respect getting the ad revenue

Dope video man

I think Logic was different he wasn't a copy and paste rapper. The fans were the problem.

50 cent Pop ,Smoke? DMX ,Jarule? 2pac , Jarule?

0:21 is straight B A R S. 🔥🔥🔥

The main reason why i checked out of hiphop 13 yrs ago

" Hoohoho hehehehe " - Snoop Dogg

Being yourself is one of the hardest feats to overcome amongst niggadom

Drake is literally just Lil Wayne on a R&B beat.

NF is absolutely not a copy and paste em. the subject matter that they rap about is ENTIRELY different. i hate when people say this shit and they haven’t even listened to his catalog.

Dude just shouted out lil man j!! That’s awesome! The dudes only got 1 real viral popular song and is already getting shout outs

Hearing Shawn pop up scared me💀 I was like I'm not watching his videos hello??

Mario Judahs' Whole Lotta Red is mint

Post Malone is literally one of the most unique artists now lmao

Great vid
