In a recent interview with BigBoyTV, Kanye West boldly asserted that he has "invented every style of music" over the last two decades. The renowned rapper, known for his outspoken nature, credited himself with creating genres and influencing artists like The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Drake, Future, and Young Thug. Kanye specifically highlighted his album "808s & Heartbreak" as a pivotal moment in music history, attributing the popularization of autotune to its influence. However, Kanye's sweeping declaration sparked immediate skepticism and backlash from fans and fellow artists. Rapper Kid Cudi, a collaborator on "808s & Heartbreak," subtly contested Kanye's claim by sharing a screenshot emphasizing his own influence on the album's creation. Additionally, fans on social media pointed out the significant impact of artists like T-Pain in popularizing autotune before Kanye's album. Kanye's assertion may reflect his innovative spirit, but it also ignites debates about the complexities of music influence and creativity.
