Lil Yachty's Massive Influence on Drake

Today Drake and Lil Yachty describe themselves as "brothers" and there is no denying the impact they’ve already had on each other’s careers. From fashion, social media, and nail painting, to then the music itself as Yachty's not only landed writing and production credits on 8 tracks off Drake's new album For All The Dogs, but also add another 6 credits on Her Loss. However from the outside looking in... the two rapper's friendship is strange.

Yachty is a writer for Drake. I can hear all the cadences patterns and shit every since he been tuned in

[@_birdie]

nah drake doesn't need yachty as an official writer. he can just do the usual and steal the man's beats, flow, bars, vocals, style, etc. There's no need to even pay him... not when Drake is already a pro at using the 5 finger discount hahah

[@nickoletcampbell4657]

​@@_birdiecover all that up with a blanket made of flattery. *”I love him, thats my bro, what would I do with out him in the studio with me writing, listening to his beats, bouncing ideas off each other”*....YEA, I BET.😅 Yachty so happy to be there he don't even notice. 😅

low-key yachty in the studio with drake is like a fan giving his opinion, obviously yachty is a talented artist but like he said he thinks drake is the goat so he’s a fan of his and will be honest about what he thinks is good so drake gets a bit of approval from him to see if his fans will like it aswell

[@shamanic_nostalgia]

I do think it's funny when people use album sales to measure someone's success when buying albums literally died out 15+ years ago. Totally asinine

Boat got his swag from being around Flacko, and the rainbow clips shit Drake did is obviously an impersonation of Rocky’s pearl swag he had been rocking with the whole riri thing. Rappers not real bruh lol the good artists stay MIA, it suck’s for fans but it’s true. They pop out and it’s always different and unique and inspires even the “goats” boat is a opening artist and always will be, Poland took off with the tik tok and we all know drake is first in line to the blow up artist, teezo is the latest example.

[@timmy5876]

i think he made a great decision in working on carti/uzi type beats Songs like Poland, solo steppin crete boy, tesla and strike are probably some of my fav yachty songs, they all came out in the last 18 months and they’re all on these modern fun beats where it doesn’t matter what u say but aslong as u have a fun sound it sounds good. There was a period where he tried to rap rap and in my opinion he’s not great at that or atleast he doesn’t sound good when doing it, like the song w j cole a few months ago he sounded bad

[@timmy5876]

i don’t think a collab album makes sense, it’ll probably just be solo albums from each with a lot of features from eschother like they have done already. The best comparison i can think of is ken carson and destroy lonely, they’re best friends and they’re always in the studio together and every album each of them drops there’s atleast a couple features from the other one on it. A collab album might be coming from both but maybe they wanna go in a different direction so why not just have the other on songs where it fits and not every song

[@jfraz1992]

We don’t need one, her loss and for all the dogs was basically one
