    influence is the only objective measure for an artist

    lack of "skill" can be an art direction in itself, ala punk, yachty, etc.

    Yes, you created a sound or did something that changed the way other artists after you went about their work. That's pretty impressive, and Soulja may look that hot in 2017 but you can't deny he's a legend if you look back at what he achieved at such a young age no matter if u f----- with his music or not.
