>>14003671He’s unironically the most influential rapper of all time. Rap is at this point just pop music. It’s more relevant than rock music has been for 20 years at least. Taylor Swift collabs with rappers, everyone does.
One of the demarcation points in hip hop culture (and therefore pop culture) is Wayne blowing up. Things were one way before that and a different way after. He changed the game. Every shitty face tatted dork getting a billion streams is directly his son.
Wayne has drawn dimes ins sales and on tour but his real currency is cultural and influence. Everyone loves him. The guy who WWE hired for WM? Meek Mill? He was anally sexed up by Puffy and he tap dances on command for rich old Jewish men, on camera. Wayne is a real one, and a wrestling fan. That time Lebron wore the Undertaker shirt and the Undertaker waited outside his locker room for hours in full gimmick with Dana Warrior and never got to see him? Lebron only wore that shirt because Wayne wore it on sportscenter a week before that. That’s how tapped in the man is and was. He gets swagger jacked by the biggest draw in sports history. This is a better look than Diddy’s booty call.
