How ‘So Far Gone’ Changed The Rap Game | Genius News

- During a Twitter rant last December, Kanye West revealed that Drake reached out to someone on his team to request a sample clearance for “Say You Will,” a track from his 2008 album, '808s & Heartbreak.' Drake used the beat from Kanye’s “Say You Will” for “Say What’s Real,” a standout cut from his seminal 2009 mixtape, 'So Far Gone.' Kanye claimed he denied the clearance, but it’s notable that Drake would ask to clear a sample for that song when he and West weren’t seeing eye to eye.

Alqu001 ! He was a 1 hit wonder, stop hating
Alqu001 ! Your comparing Drake to a 1 hit wonder, your hating
Funny ‘cause most people are hearing So Far Gone today for the first time. My g, back then that was MY THANG.
If people are hearing it today, then it didnt change shit lmao
if people seriously just listening for the first time then they missed tf out
Back then it was free too.

Next make videos on how:
T-Pain & autotune changed the game
Soulja Boy & social media changed the game
Kanye West & 808's influenced rappers to sing
Lex Luger & Flockaveli changed the whole sound of hip hop
Future's influence on the new generation of rappers
they already did the kanye/808 video, catch up
They already have an auto tune one
ALSO ABOUT HOW CHIEF KEEF STARTED THE DRILL MUSIC MOVEMENT THAT ORIGINATED HERE IN MY CITY CHICAGO.
They need to do The Impact of Atlanta Hip-Hop & The Impact of Trap Music
Flockaveli top 5 most influential albums
Drake was really the first artist that demonstrated the ability to be both an R&B and rap artist. And not on different songs, on the same song. That's what changed the game... Along with the moody night drive rap that he's known for. Like it or not, he changed music forever and will go down as one of the greatest.
yes i remember singing and rapping on the same song wasn't cool before he started to do it
Wrong. Bone thugs in harmony was one of the first if not the first to sing and rap on the same track.
There is nothing new under the sun.
@@josecontreras6702 But Drake was the first to do it over moody beats. Stop discrediting him lol
@@noir269 drake isn’t a producer where’s the props for the one who actually made the moody beat
@@zigzagandmanman bro 40 literally gets praised all the time. do you even listen to Drake? lol
We need a vid on Lil Wayne’s influence on the rap game
The some gos for Tupac Because he also has a huge influence On the rap game Music in general
This was it
Yeah but at same time I love pac Though He will live on forever He will always be my favorite rapper no matter what and he still talked about all around the world and And love and appreciate it more than any other rapper that’s why he such a cultural icon and has a huge influence on Not just hip hop But the entire music industry as a whole
Yep
Houstonaltantavegas is still my chill song till this day, Drake is a living legend
Say What’s Real will ALWAYS be a top 5 song in Drakes portfolio to me. And it’s crazy because Drake never had to lie, dude took so much heat for how he came off, never tried to be street none of that. Stayed true to himself, now he’s the most influential artist in the game right now.
i mean hes talkin' bout mob ties, rushing niggas and all that tough shit so...
@@melvyn.871 I mean look at xxxtentacion now 😂
Drake is absolutely a gigantic figure in rap now, but he is nowhere near the most influential. Kanye and Cudi influenced almost every artist that has started post 2008 and have created most of if not all of the foundation for the modern day hip hop sound
To Me This Song Is Top 3 Drake Verse Ever
Amir ashkar exactly.
Apparently every album that came out by a big rapper from 2006-2009 changed the rap game
Peggy I mean they actually did....
I think it’s because all the technology changes around that time.
Just like how albums in 2016-2019 gonna change the game too (young thug, Travis Scott, Lil baby, Migos, etc)
We're in for a wild ride)
Yea bc the reason they're big now is bc of the influence they've had.
09 was a pivitol year for hiphop.
When Drake is gone people will finally realize we will never get anyone like Drake ever again...
The GOAT 🐐🔥
i can literally see i grew up watching him grow and develop
bitch
@@mikexoxxxo u stupid
_JiMMYBROOKSXO same
That's amazing
‘09 Drizzy was something special. That Wayne co sign took the game by storm, So Far Gone is a certified classic.
"Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it".
it be like that sometimes
*sometimes*
This definitely didn't age well 😂

I need that Frank shirt tho
same
Same
The first Drake song I heard was Best I Ever Had. I was like "ok he's dope." he kinda lost me for a minute, but he got back right, and I've been hooked every since. He's one of the G.O.A.T.s
So far gone instantly takes me back to my junior year of high school, Drake really made a lot of good, deep music from 2009-2012
BboyDJFLIP after that he began to become more overrated and too pop
BboyDJFLIP I was ending 6th grade and just turned 12 heading the 7th grade
I'm in junior year rn and been listening to that nd thank me later since bout freshman yr REAL MUSIC 💯
agreed, after IYRTITL he went for more sales and became overrated
Burning a mp3 cd to put in your pioneer radio from Walmart 😊
“The game needed life, I put my Heart in it..” you sure did man.
There is no 'So Far Gone' without '808s & Heartbreak'.
And there is no '808s & Heartbreak' without 'A Kid Named Cudi'.
t dog TALK THAT TALK NIGGA
Not true. Andrew 300 influenced all of them.so far gone sounds nothing like 808s
Nah
@@chrisfoy6034 u pro'lly never listened to So Far Gone if u really think it "sounds nothing like 808s"
@@daipayandutta6245 your kidding right? Not one song on there sounds like it. So far gone started the atmospheric r&b sound that the weeknd, Bryson tiller, etc. Use
“The calm” was my first drake song back in 2009 senior year of high school.
Bria’s interlude is an amazing track
Wayne CREATED Drake while Kanye SHAPED him.
Drake takes inspiration from many artists, as does every other rapper that exists. You can hear Bay Area influence in Drakes music too, and Jigga.
There's no Wayne influence at all
@@midnighteye2737 There definitly is. I have been saying that since 2009.
Other way around. Ye birthed him, Weezy mentored him.
@@liorbeaugendre6935 p00p00p00⁰pppppoppoooooop0poò
808s and Heartbreak changed the game first lol
For the worst to be more specific
Pooch Kk explain
Facts
a.dluxe so far gone is a better version of 808’s
Slick rick changed the game first
its funny cause when drake first started he was getting teased saying he sounds like bow wow
Honestly insane how he said the window for free albums disguised as mixtapes has closed because of music streaming and sample clearing. That means we may never get another era where we saw the Macs and ASAP Rocky’s of the world first emerge
School was canceled for me so imma just watch genius the whole day
Raul Aguilera lucky ass
I be flossing
Go watch some netflix instead
sounds like a pretty boring day
My second winter break just started today
I dont remember hearing about the mixtape 10 yrs ago. But I remember Hearing a couple of the songs off the mixtape back in 2009
4hunnid .a I got it online a month later it was in stores.
Not a drake fan but I do love this album to death.. say what's real is still the best bars he ever spit
The part Trey songz played in this mans career has been swept under the carpet. Trey songz put this man on, pay homage.
Drake always thanks Trey Songz for that it's just media that overlooks its
Genius makes these videos so that the white kids that just started listening to rap in 2017 can catch up.
big facts
Biased
Period
I am a white dude but a true hiphop head.
Culturing the uncultured
for me Nothing Was The Same and Take Care are the top albums for me.
2006-2009 was a pivotal point in hip-hop history.
This shit really takes me back, I remember listening to it non stop my senior year.
All these songs were my soundtrack in high school.
I swear
That's a funny way to spell '808s and Heartbreak'.
Stop
Fuck off
Time stamp?
Facts
Funny way of saying Kid Cudi:Man on the Moon.
“Maybe I don’t have to be the next Ye or the next Wayne , I can be the first Drake”💯
Drake will die a legend. The man has more legendary verses than any other rapper.
TheTezExperience How many did he write? 🤔😏
jjbing3
Lol, probably all the ones there’s not a reference track for until further notice.
I think he has more legendary quotes/lines but for verses I’m gonna go with Pac or Jigga.
InsertRandomName Wayne is good but he makes too many poop references.
TheTezExperience Jay Z has better verses
November 18 is a Houston anthem 👌🔥
Kisame Hoshigaki houstatlantavegas♨️♨️♨️
So Far Gone will always be one of Drakes best projects
Everyone forever sleeping on *Room For Improvement* ... I swear that was the smoothest Hip Hop album Drake ever made.
Imagine hearing So Far Gone for the first time in 2019...
Bro I was literally there when every one of those mixtapes you mentioned dropped. I feel old. They all changed my life from SFG to The Warm Up to KIDS. That's like my little basket of most important right there because I was 18/19 in that era and that's when music meant the most to me.
Where did you get that shirt my man?
Bruh I just commented the same thing...lmao you can't find Ocean's merch anywhere
Damn, hearing all these tracks is taking me back. Good times B.
I’ve been a drake fan since comeback season✌️
Hearing “Best I Ever Had” gave me mad nostalgia
The mixtape that changed the landscape of the game but always remember without 808s & Heartbreak, this would have never been birthed. This is a classic mixtape that still sounds amazing and is relevant today👌🏾💯
y’all haters can’t take away drakes impact
nigga fuck drake
Drake can't hide the fact that he leeched off the Weeknd's, ILoveMakkonen or PartyNextDoor's sound
Uriah Abeita what sound? drake created that muffled sound w 40
Drake is too overhated jesus man doesn't deserve hate
FACTS, Drake is the GOAT 🐐
Started listening to Drake when he dropped Headlines.That was back in 4th grade.
Ooooh my god I remember when Replacement Girl premiered after a new episode of Degrassi lmao
I was in the 6th grade in 09 when Drake dropped So Far Gone and man I had that tape on repeat. During the summer in Texas i would always hear best I ever had and November 18th. Simpler times
Old Drake was better just saying
He was
True
Nothing was the same after NOTHING WAS THE SAME...
Mohammad Islam true.
How? Old Drake is way more poppy and comes off as a Wayne clone.
Since NWTS and on Drake's vocal delivey improved and he started rapping over more grittier production. As a hip hop fan it's odd to prefer Drake's early style.
Kanye and Cudi changed the game with 808s and MOTM
Where can I get that shirt Jacques?? 🔥🔥🔥🔥
so far gone is part of the change that 808s and heartbreak started
i think i get it now , drake embodies a fan turning into what he idolized
808s is far more influential though
l a g g z z 😂
Fact
shut ur mouth bitch
Darius Dash nah lol, you know I'm right. Drake literally sampled it for So Far Gone soooo?
Where can I get that tshirt?????????
Ayy where did u get that shirt
Where do i get this shirt?
DerKreisch I really need that shirt
DerKreisch if somebody tells you lmk please
Drake is the biggest artist of the past 10 years.
@Instagram Models you can read yeah?? He said drake has been the biggest artist of the past 10 years.
ok
@ Instagram Models
Maybe in your country specifically. But worldwide he was already the hottest topic in hip-pop by 2009. And over the last Decade, nothing has changed in that regard
@Instagram Models he said PAST TEN YEARS dummy.
Internationally it has to be 50 Cent
I played the hell out of "Successful". It came out when I was on vacation in Miami, and I played it all week while driving along the beach/coast.
The fact I can say I grew up watching this dude is insane from 9-19 now I had u on my iPod shuffle broo you the goat
yea that Lykke Li “Little Bit” song will always be one of the most underrated drake songs
Somewhere in America, Pusha T still ain't platinum
Andrew LaSane 😭😭😭 needed Drake to give him a career
Lmao
Prince thaboi you 11 bro?
This mixtape is my inspiration to make beats and vent myself through lyrics
where u get that shirt at though @genius
That boy DDG on here! 😁
Where
Gon Freecss 9:22
but this album didn’t change anything....man on the moo and 808s and heartbreak did
Before that Mix tape, fans and artists a like felt like they needed to be signed by a label and put out an album to make their break in Hip-pop. After So far gone, almost every rapper at that time was copying drakes formula of putting out a mix tape of album quality and pushing to make their mark even while unsigned. I can remember clearly when that was happening, and nothing was the same after that. It changed a lot of how music is made today
808s and Heartbreaks changed of Rappers singing, which is Drake's calling card. Kanye did it well, Drake perfected it. Now most are trying to copy it
Uchiha Madara alot of rappers were already doing this its just Drake had a mainstream push he was in perfect position to do it
Now that’s true
Of course a super Kanye cudi fan would hate drake
Yo where u get that shirt
Where can I get that shirt 😖
When drake had BARRRRRS
So far gone and Da Drought 3 best mixtapes ever imo.Sales,impact,great songs those mixtape better than a lot of people albums
Follow BLACKMOSES1 facts!!
Cole’s Warm Up & FNL are along the lines of those too. Damn time flies, I still bump all their old & new shit.
No Ceilings as well.

So Far Gone did change the rap game dude. Nobody could sing and rap. It was so different on the radio back then.
Drake really the greatest musical artist of our generation and it's not even close.....
wooooooow lmao
Friends with money was my fav pre-Young Money Drake song.
I Remember best I ever had and I was like 6 and it was like everywhere and know I'm sixteen and it's crazy how drake has gotten so big over a decade
Its supposed to be how 808s and heartbreak inspired so far gone to inspire the rap game👌
Lawrence Chengo lmao Kanye’s trash bruh
They got DDG at the end 🤔😅
KhasTHE DemonTV yuh
I WANT THAT SHIRT WHERE CAN I GET IT
This was a great dive in 👏🏾👏🏾
so much haters on this comment section wow, don't hate on Drake... Drake does have impact on the game nearly 10 years in the game and almost 10 more coming
It didnt ... kid cudi’s man on the moon did
Kid Cudi sucks ass
kudi is trash
Motm was influenced by sfg
Kudi trash
Y'all spelling "Cudi" like "Kudi" lmaoo
Damn thank you for bringing up some classic Drizzy for me to queue up!
Dude I remember so many of the songs back then from So Far Gone
How could So Far Gone change the rap game when it was released few days ago? Smh drake fans😤
Zlatan Thenamuthan smh u can’t be serious dude. Are u really that dumb?
@Zlatan Thenamuthan
i hope you're trolling, if not you're really dumb
Kanye seen him coming from a mile away. But Ye is the teacher 👨🏫 nobody tops Ye musically to me.
True
Spanky Tidal fuck that boy
Drake is the GOAT 🐐
It's out of question. Musically drake is whack af while Kanye on a lvl with classical artists like Mozart and Bach.
Felix Schuster 808 and heartbreak was the blue print
Blowing up like this off a free mixtape really was a new thing in 2009
I was listen to this all 2018 it’s crazy it’s on Apple now
He used to look cartoonish.
Drake is the GOAT 🐐 no cap!
Those earings be looking like he tryna do the fusion dance with me 😂
