Kanye West Says He Invented Every Style Of Music Of  The Past 20 Years

Kanye West has been making news over his recent interview on Big Boy TV. In another cut from their discussion, the Chicago rapper spoke about how he influenced the careers of a lot of artists including The Weeknd, Drake, Travis Scott, Future, among others.

“And of this music game, I am, but not under Lucian,” Kanye said, likely referencing UMG CEO Lucian Grainge.

“You know what I’m saying, I invented every style of music of the past 20 years. I created the genre. I created The Weeknd genre, Trav, Drake… Everybody. I’m gonna go ahead and say, with all love, Future and Thug also. Because the autotune album. 808s, if you think about it.”

He continued, “Everybody think about Trav, Weeknd, and Drake, but no one thinks about Future and Thug also. Autotune album. Now everyone, they added what it was to it. But here’s a new genre. It’s called the ‘making your own money’ genre.”

We can’t call Ye’s claim a reach because he certainly changed a lot for hip-hop in the 2000s as far as sound, image, and ethos are concerned. This transformation continued throughout the 2010s, and there’s no other rapper who’s remained as magnanimous and relevant for three decades.

During the same interview, Kanye West revealed he has issues with Jesus after he was canceled, because it’s a lot of stuff he went through that he prayed about and he didn’t see Jesus show up.

In another cut, Kanye West revealed he once asked Safaree if Nicki Minaj would be down for a threesome with him and Amber Rose, not knowing Safaree and Nicki were dating at the time.
