Mumble rap, drill, rock rap, new country, Kanye West claims to have invented every style of music in the past 20 years during a new hour-and-a-half interview with radio personality Big Boy.
“And of this music game, I am, but not under Lucian [UMG CEO Lucian Grainge],” Ye told Big Boy. “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. 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.”
