I happened to be going through a break up when 808s dropped.
Needless to say, I always thought 808s was dope. Robocop speaks to me on a personal level.
808s spawned drakes style and has had an effect on other artists too. Gambino, The Weeknd, etc.
Boy stop.
This dumb **** been said on here several times and been proven wrong repeatedly.
Drake's been doing tapes since 06. Years before 808's.
And artists like Andre 3000, Cudi and several others, massive in their own right, had been on that as well.
Some of you are so focused on one artist you can't see the forest through the trees.
So I guess "ahead of it's time" is the term we use for an album no one really liked when it was out.....and that no one really checks for today either?
This dude really need to drop some new music to keep y'all occupied because y'all whylin' right now.

Opening up a lane and inspiring is two different things. Ya'll making it seem like he pioneered what's being put out now. I will say it's ahead of it's time because it would be appreciated more now than it was.false
Oh word, so people were listening to Cudi and Drake in 08 and prior and they were getting spins and were well known by the casual listener?![]()
He may not have necessarily inspired them, but he definitely opened up a lane for that type of music to be accepted in rap/hip hop.

Not to mention with some of the tracks on 808's he damn near jacked old tracks that he sampled, But it did have a lot of original production as well.
