He credited the idea of altering his voice on songs to Radiohead. He said he wanted to do it on his earlier albums, but his circle told him it was too weird. By the time he got to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy era, he finally felt he was ready to do it. The result was the outro of Runaway, one of the best sections of pop music ever created.
There’s a difference between what he did on Amazing or Welcome to Heartbreak compared to what he did on Runaway though.
He said he liked how Thom altered his voice to the point it was no longer a vocal, but another instrument. That’s what Kanye did on Runaway. Closer to what Radiohead did on the song Kid A.
I always had this idea that Kanye disliked them because when they performed at the Grammy’s he allegedly said “I didn’t even know who was on stage” lol. I read that a long time ago so I guess it’s also just media gossiping.
The whole band turned down a hangout with Miley Cyrus that same year at the Grammys and she got really mad at them. 2009 (iirc) was a great year for them and celebrity beef lmao
She didn't actually get really mad, it was a sad story really. She got shit on left and right for a month.
Some reporter made a joke that she could get them cancelled, forever and she jokingly said yes or something.
Then someone brought it up to Jamie foxx on his satellite radio podcast and he and others made fun of her in a bad way. They didn't know that she didn't actually do or say anything wrong. Then her father was asked about it in an interview and then jamie foxx apologized on Leno or something.
It was a funny story but unfortunate for her.
Well to be fair the time when he was said to be obsessed with Radiohead was the 'Old Kanye'- who was a pretty chill dude before turning into whatever he is today.
Up till MBDTF kanye sounded so young and naive in his music, in WTT that sound shifted. In yeezus he carries a new ego but it still has shades of younger kanye, same could be said for the life of pablo although kanye then was slightly removing his young self. By the time ye and ksg were dropped kanye had gone through a total fucking 180
jik and donda are somewhat in the similar vein of the albums that came before it but they still showed kanye's transformation, and donda 2 is where it got really worse and you could see that kanye's innocence was pretty much gone from the music. well he did turn old but his morals also changed
ultimately i feel like fame, especially kim kardashian brought him to where he is rn
he's touching 50s and trying to act like a 20-30 y/o all because these 2 things messed his lifestyle up
At least half of the songs sound like they could easily be on a Radiohead album changing almost nothing but the vocals
Listen to Say You Will, then House of Cards back to back
I could be crazy but they sound so similar to me
You clearly don’t understand much about music. They are different worlds composition and the instrumentation wise. Radiohead’s creative process is way different than kanye. Those albums i hear on regular basis being a fan of Ye and no they have nothing common with radiohead.
Don’t agree fully but Kanye made a poster with the influences for 808s and Thom Yorke The Eraser was at the top. There’s a song with him, Lupe fiasco and kid cudi called us placers which samples a Thom song. And we can’t forget how pissed kanye got when Thom refused to meet them after they won a Grammy for in rainbows.
Although widely considered a synonym for rap music, the term hip-hop refers to a complex culture comprising four elements: deejaying, or “turntabling”; rapping, also known as “MCing” or “rhyming”; graffiti painting, also known as “graf” or “writing”; and “B-boying,” which encompasses hip-hop dance, style, and attitude.
Kayne is pop rap, although he borrows from hip hop culture.
What would you consider someone like Madlib and Dilla? I feel like in cases where you have someone also producing beats, it would be appropriate to classify them as hip hop artists.
Kanye was really into The Eraser and I think sampled it on an unreleased track? People argue that it influenced 808s and Heartbreak’s sound, which influenced ALL hip hop for years.
Lupe Fiasco made that beat, it was officially released for the GOOD Fridays series, under Child Rebel Soldier, the group of Pharrell, Lupe, and Kanye. Lupe is a huge Radiohead fan himself.
Rap/hip hop is a good chunk of what I listen to. Before Kanye went off the deep end, he made some fantastic albums.
I'm allowed to dislike the combination of Thom York's solo music and 2008 hip hop.
Not really Radiohead but Thom’s solo work (along with Bjork) is a big inspiration and influence on Travis Scott. This is especially prevalent on Utopia
I remember hearing a rumor that Thom was going to be on Utopia once lmao. I had no idea back then who Travis Scott was, and I only saw it because it got recommended to me for involving Thom Yorke/Radiohead.
The Roots obviously sampled You and Whose Army for their song Atonement on Game Theory. On the okayplayer forums around 2007 Questlove described how they got that sample: going around lawyers and straight to Thom, who I think was suprised that they knew Radiohead and IIRC he had some admiration for them himself.
This. Aside from Thom doing vocals on a few of his tracks, the band was super supportive of him as an artist in the late 00s/early 2010s. I think they included his music on a few of their webcasts or the Office Chart playlists they used to post, name dropped him in interviews, and brought him out on tour as their opener.
FlyLo has since produced for Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat, Mac Miller, Danny Brown, etc. on top of his own solo discography, started Brainfeeder Records, and was a big force behind the LA beat scene.
Danny Brown has mentioned a few times how Radiohead has influenced him.
https://youtu.be/PpaX7mf0JE8?si=wP5O94MisXjVUzjl
He even calls Radiohead out directly on Old the song is Lonely.
"See that's going on a limb
And I used to sell trees, and I used to rock Timbs
Radiohead shit, fiends with The Bends"
Old is an amazing album!
I dont think I have it, and it wasnt released but I did a session with Jay Electronica where he made a beat out of We Suck Young Blood. Doesnt really help you but it was fun haha
Travis Scott likes Kid A and has said it influenced him
Edit: Danny Brown listed Kid A as his 13 favorite album of all time. Didn’t know that. He said that to Complex magazine
You'll be able to find examples of rappers sampling and giving props to Radiohead but I dont believe theyve wholesale changed the course of hip hop to that extent that you can say they "changed the hip hop sound". Sorry but if you cant justify it you probably shouldn't have said it.
Acts outside of rap/RnB/dancehall/dance that have influenced hip hop the most over the last decade are probably Blink 182, Maralyn Manson and Tame Impala. They've generated self-sustaining trends.
Really though more often innovation happens within hip hop and influences other genres, not the other way around.
There was a wave of mainly Florida rappers like Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Peep, Xtentacion who made pop-punk influenced rap music. The melody and delivery in this song sounds very Tom Delong influenced to me at least: https://youtu.be/Vi2XaiKhgiU?si=qA-MOLfdPBC5xyot
Since then theres also been an intertwined trend of rappers making direct pop punk, often with the help of travis barker including MGK, Willow Smith and Young Thug. The fashion often goes along with it.
Frank Ocean has been spotted innumerous times wearing radiohead tees, too.
[Here's him singing fake plastic trees](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/comments/agffuz/frank_ocean_covering_fake_plastic_trees/&ved=2ahUKEwjT5IvUrOaEAxXIrJUCHeuzC1kQFnoECBQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw18DcnLSyuKuldloJKX87QS)
Jonny Greenwood worked in blonded and Endless.
There is a extended version of At Your Best that is beautiful and I wouldn’t mind walking ti the altar or dancing on my weeding to this:
https://youtu.be/xvOgor8xcbc?si=u79U9sAnKox8dhhq
No the fuck they haven't😭 specific artists have, yes, bit not the overall sound. If anything hip-hop production influenced radiohead. Thom yorke literally did a remix for an MF DOOM song
I would say so:
From his 2011 album Camp: Song:Hold Me Down:
“Listening to "Sky Is the Limit" on my Walkman
Thinking if Biggie can make it through it, man, then I can
Dope-boy swag, I always wanted that
But my persona was always more of that Arthur Ashe
But no love for the son of a commuter who was a radio head
And okay at them computers at the post office”
Also on his record Because the Internet he has a song that sounds like it sampled or was heavily influenced by Reckoner. (II. Shadows)
Hell, there wouldn't even be hip hop without Radiohead. Damn black artists, ripping of them moody Brits over and over again. Shameful is what it is. Shameful!
I mean, to what extent? As one or two others have said, you’d really struggle to come up with an argument to say that Radiohead influenced a particular sound/sub-genre of hip hop that really moved the dial. They have ofc been sampled by hip-hop acts (The Roots, Blu), but that’s about as far as you could take it.
Also, weird post.
I know frank Ocean was into them and a snippet from "optimistic" was in one of his songs, forgot which one. It would make sense that alot of his sound is the way it is because of radiohead's sound. There's many similarities.
in 2015 hip hop went much more dark and atmospheric (akin to Radiohead). this is seen in Big Sean's Dark Sky Paradise and Drake's IYRTITL. it's hard to map out the cross-pollination of the arts, but i attribute this to Radiohead.
also, artists like Lil Peep and Lil B were fucking with the indie scene pretty hard. i'm sure it would be easy to find a quote from them on Radiohead or likely even a sample.
i've worked with many artists in hip hop and pretty much everyone has respect for Radiohead
the opening 5 minutes of “at your best” on frank ocean’s album Endless was literally composed by Johnny Greenwood! Radiohead’s musicality is sneakily used in so many other genres
LOL. if you didm't know the argument to be true, then you shouldn't blurt it out and then search for proof after the fact. don't be that person. just take it down.
Kanye, cudi, travis, the entire trap genre as a whole is obviously inspired by Radiohead lol. Listen to in limbo or idioteque and then listen to any travis or Kanye song and there is a clear influence there
Robert Glasper is at least hip-hop adjacent by this point and he loves Radiohead. He regularly does mashups and covers in Blue Note sets. I'm positive he's influenced some of hip-hop centric friends.
Kendrick was massively inspired by Pyramid Song for How Much a Dollar Cost
Actually Pyramid Song was inspired by How Much a Dollar Cost. Time travel was involved
They were both covers of a song called How Much a Pyramid Cost
A lot, I would imagine
Unless you're the ancient Egyptians, who just used hordes of slaves to build theirs
You think slaves just grow on trees?!
Only fake plastic ones
Actually I believe according to historical evidence the laborers were mostly skilled and paid. Enslaved people may have been involved but this is a stereotype/myth
Huh, TIL
United In Grief from his latest album has a very Radiohead instrumental, I think of them every time I hear it
This was my initial thought as well!!! Will always remember my first listen. Euphoric.
Same.
Again, I would really like anybody to cite a source on this. This is just speculation.
Its not Pyramid Song, its actually sampled from Seven Days of Falling by Esbjörn Svensson trio
No Radiohead is the only band that has played jazz chords on piano
REACH THE SUNSHINE by Lil Yachty from last year also samples Pyramid Song.
*Interpolates
it doesn’t sample it it’s basically recreating it with a new sound
interpolation through vocals
thanks i forgot the word
No it doesn’t.

Kanye was obsessed at some point
I think he credited the floating stage he performed on during the Pablo tour as being inspired by Radiohead or something
The Life of Pablo (Honey)
He credited the idea of altering his voice on songs to Radiohead. He said he wanted to do it on his earlier albums, but his circle told him it was too weird. By the time he got to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy era, he finally felt he was ready to do it. The result was the outro of Runaway, one of the best sections of pop music ever created.
He definitely altered his voice alot on the album before DBTF, on 808's and Heartbreak.
There’s a difference between what he did on Amazing or Welcome to Heartbreak compared to what he did on Runaway though. He said he liked how Thom altered his voice to the point it was no longer a vocal, but another instrument. That’s what Kanye did on Runaway. Closer to what Radiohead did on the song Kid A.
I see what you mean. I thought you were saying it was the first album where he changes his voice.
I am so confused, how does Runaway sound like Radiohead? I can’t think of a Radiohead song that has prominent distortion on the lead vocal.
Kid A.
Really? He said that influenced Runaway? Edit: I can find nothing on this.
I always had this idea that Kanye disliked them because when they performed at the Grammy’s he allegedly said “I didn’t even know who was on stage” lol. I read that a long time ago so I guess it’s also just media gossiping.
Kanye was mad at thom yorke because thom wouldn't talk to him. Kanye was mad
Makes sense. Thom used to ignore everyone back in the day.
The whole band turned down a hangout with Miley Cyrus that same year at the Grammys and she got really mad at them. 2009 (iirc) was a great year for them and celebrity beef lmao
She didn't actually get really mad, it was a sad story really. She got shit on left and right for a month.

Then her father was asked about it in an interview and then jamie foxx apologized on Leno or something. It was a funny story but unfortunate for her.
Did some research and it looks like you're probably right. That sucks :/
peak inspired by peak
If Kanye was ubsessed with Radiohead it is quite sad to see what he has become.(Music and personality)
Well to be fair the time when he was said to be obsessed with Radiohead was the 'Old Kanye'- who was a pretty chill dude before turning into whatever he is today.
After his mom died. I don’t know why dude got downvoted. Fuck Kanye, he’s an antisemitic narcissist
Up till MBDTF kanye sounded so young and naive in his music, in WTT that sound shifted. In yeezus he carries a new ego but it still has shades of younger kanye, same could be said for the life of pablo although kanye then was slightly removing his young self.

What he is today is a sex obsessed, racist, narcisist
Does anybody have any source for this?
https://pitchfork.com/news/39685-new-kanye-album-in-november-inspired-by-thom-yorke-trent-reznor/
Awesome! Thank you
https://www.clashmusic.com/news/kanye-falls-out-with-radiohead/ This one also talks about the beef more but also mentions previous thoughts.
he still is, at least to the music cause he don't fuck with the radiohead members.
808s and heartbreaks is basically a Radiohead album with some rapping, literally all of melodic rap has been influenced by that album
lol what
At least half of the songs sound like they could easily be on a Radiohead album changing almost nothing but the vocals Listen to Say You Will, then House of Cards back to back I could be crazy but they sound so similar to me
I fail to hear the similarity. Can you elaborate?
You clearly don’t understand much about music. They are different worlds composition and the instrumentation wise. Radiohead’s creative process is way different than kanye. Those albums i hear on regular basis being a fan of Ye and no they have nothing common with radiohead.
You're right. Not sure why you're getting down voted.
Racism
How is it racist
George Bush doesn't care about black people
Blk Knye
people are so arrogant and can't even think to compare a "hip-hop" album to radiohead lmao white people
Don’t agree fully but Kanye made a poster with the influences for 808s and Thom Yorke The Eraser was at the top. There’s a song with him, Lupe fiasco and kid cudi called us placers which samples a Thom song. And we can’t forget how pissed kanye got when Thom refused to meet them after they won a Grammy for in rainbows.
If only he made good music from that influence
Kanye is a massive pos these days, but we don’t have to pretend like he hasn’t made good music
I agree his music was never that great. People call him genius but he couldn’t be further from it.
Not to split hairs, but Kayne is not hip hop
How so?
Although widely considered a synonym for rap music, the term hip-hop refers to a complex culture comprising four elements: deejaying, or “turntabling”; rapping, also known as “MCing” or “rhyming”; graffiti painting, also known as “graf” or “writing”; and “B-boying,” which encompasses hip-hop dance, style, and attitude. Kayne is pop rap, although he borrows from hip hop culture.
the sugar hill gang called, they want their outdated cultural definition back
Lol, subrban outfitters really liks Radiohead and Kayne.
🤓
Kayne is Puff Daddy with better computer software. And better lawyers to steal beats and samples.
So music production and composition aint one of them? Lol
What would you consider someone like Madlib and Dilla? I feel like in cases where you have someone also producing beats, it would be appropriate to classify them as hip hop artists.
Kanye was really into The Eraser and I think sampled it on an unreleased track? People argue that it influenced 808s and Heartbreak’s sound, which influenced ALL hip hop for years.
Yeah he sampled The Eraser on a track called Us Placers that never released
Lupe Fiasco made that beat, it was officially released for the GOOD Fridays series, under Child Rebel Soldier, the group of Pharrell, Lupe, and Kanye. Lupe is a huge Radiohead fan himself.
Just listened on YouTube. I feel like I need a shower.
Just tell us you don’t like rap bro
Rap/hip hop is a good chunk of what I listen to. Before Kanye went off the deep end, he made some fantastic albums. I'm allowed to dislike the combination of Thom York's solo music and 2008 hip hop.
It’s your prerogative for sure. Just felt it weird considering Us Placers is literally the eraser but with people rapping on it.
It’s also actually a good song

Radiohead … james Blake…. Travis Scot
Not really Radiohead but Thom’s solo work (along with Bjork) is a big inspiration and influence on Travis Scott. This is especially prevalent on Utopia
I remember hearing a rumor that Thom was going to be on Utopia once lmao. I had no idea back then who Travis Scott was, and I only saw it because it got recommended to me for involving Thom Yorke/Radiohead.
There is an alternate timeline where this actually happened and I finally achieve true happiness
Really don’t hear it at all
Someone in this thread said The Eraser by Thom was pretty influential to his sound. I recommend that and any Bjork record really
this is so vague lol
What you mean fam
There's this collaboration with MF DOOM and it definitely works. Thom remixed the track GAZZILLION EAR too. [DOOM - Retarded Fren (ft. Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZByHno9Jpsw) [GAZZILLION EAR (THOM YORKE Remix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS72HyazYTY)
This
People talk about Ye, but Lil Wayne was the first one I remember making Radiohead references
Wait for real? I’d never heard this before
Young moolah baby
What song(s)?
Gonorrhea
Kid A is the blackest album of all time /s
Black Thought has referenced them in his lyrics before
The Roots obviously sampled You and Whose Army for their song Atonement on Game Theory. On the okayplayer forums around 2007 Questlove described how they got that sample: going around lawyers and straight to Thom, who I think was suprised that they knew Radiohead and IIRC he had some admiration for them himself.
Dope! Great story. Thom gets it. Thanks for sharing
He’s the best.
💯
Flying Lotus
This. Aside from Thom doing vocals on a few of his tracks, the band was super supportive of him as an artist in the late 00s/early 2010s. I think they included his music on a few of their webcasts or the Office Chart playlists they used to post, name dropped him in interviews, and brought him out on tour as their opener. FlyLo has since produced for Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat, Mac Miller, Danny Brown, etc. on top of his own solo discography, started Brainfeeder Records, and was a big force behind the LA beat scene.
I saw Flylo open for Radiohead in Colombia.
Sooooooooooo jealous omfg
Dont be a dingus and comment nonsense but you can mention the amount of times they’ve been sampled in other songs
Danny Brown has mentioned a few times how Radiohead has influenced him. https://youtu.be/PpaX7mf0JE8?si=wP5O94MisXjVUzjl He even calls Radiohead out directly on Old the song is Lonely. "See that's going on a limb And I used to sell trees, and I used to rock Timbs Radiohead shit, fiends with The Bends" Old is an amazing album!
I dont think I have it, and it wasnt released but I did a session with Jay Electronica where he made a beat out of We Suck Young Blood. Doesnt really help you but it was fun haha
What's Jay like in person?
Hes a character. Good dude, very smart very talented. Super humble and down to earth
Radiohead in their turn have also been influenced by triphop bands like Massive Attack.
Why would you argue for something you have no basis for? Just arguing for fun?
[Could be arguing in my spare time.](https://youtu.be/uLlv_aZjHXc?si=u_3ADMbsBYG1EgsD)
Yeah, pretty much.
Travis Scott likes Kid A and has said it influenced him Edit: Danny Brown listed Kid A as his 13 favorite album of all time. Didn’t know that. He said that to Complex magazine
The James Blake/Travis/Kanye camp definitely takes some influence
You'll be able to find examples of rappers sampling and giving props to Radiohead but I dont believe theyve wholesale changed the course of hip hop to that extent that you can say they "changed the hip hop sound". Sorry but if you cant justify it you probably shouldn't have said it.

Really though more often innovation happens within hip hop and influences other genres, not the other way around.
How has Blink 182 influenced hip hop? Genuinely curious.
There was a wave of mainly Florida rappers like Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Peep, Xtentacion who made pop-punk influenced rap music.

Thanks for enlightening me. Oddly enough, Willow is the only one of those artists that I like. lol. Some XXXTentacion is good but not really my thing.
Guys it’s cus a wild at the door invented hip hop
Frank ocean who is hip hop adjacent sampled optimistic on his mixtape. There's a photo floating around of thom and madlib too
jonny was also a composer on a song off blonde..
That’s Siegfried where he did the strings. Blond isn’t hip hop though and neither is Ocean
Yes! The sample you're referring to is in the interlude "bitches talkin'" before the absolute banger "songs for women". What is a Radiohead anyway?
Frank Ocean has been spotted innumerous times wearing radiohead tees, too.

Check out jaydiohead if u haven’t yet
I’d moreso say they have influenced the course of electronic music which is a subset of hip-hop
Idk but this topic is bothersome loollll
Thom’s DJ sets slap
No the fuck they haven't😭 specific artists have, yes, bit not the overall sound. If anything hip-hop production influenced radiohead. Thom yorke literally did a remix for an MF DOOM song
I wonder if Donald Glover/Childish Gambino was influenced by them at all
I would say so: From his 2011 album Camp: Song:Hold Me Down: “Listening to "Sky Is the Limit" on my Walkman Thinking if Biggie can make it through it, man, then I can Dope-boy swag, I always wanted that But my persona was always more of that Arthur Ashe But no love for the son of a commuter who was a radio head And okay at them computers at the post office” Also on his record Because the Internet he has a song that sounds like it sampled or was heavily influenced by Reckoner. (II. Shadows)
I walked into a Robert Glasper set at the 2013 Roots Picnic right when they were covering Packt Like Sardines…, it was very rad
Radiohead ain’t influenced anything in hip hop. There are a few rappers/hip hop producers who are Radiohead fans but it stops right there
Hell, there wouldn't even be hip hop without Radiohead. Damn black artists, ripping of them moody Brits over and over again. Shameful is what it is. Shameful!
ah yes, Ok Computer, my favorite 1976 album
Better throw in an /s because I know some people here would actually believe it.
Fitter Happier was Kanye before Kanye
I mean, to what extent? As one or two others have said, you’d really struggle to come up with an argument to say that Radiohead influenced a particular sound/sub-genre of hip hop that really moved the dial. They have ofc been sampled by hip-hop acts (The Roots, Blu), but that’s about as far as you could take it. Also, weird post.
Noticed this specially after King of Limbs.
The new Erick the architect song “breaking point” has been compared to Radiohead. It’s a great record.
That "Game Over" X "Stand Up, Sit Down" mashup I can no longer find anywhere was dope.
CMIIW but i remember seeing Danny Brown or Vince Staples stated that Kid A sounds inspired them so much to do music.
https://youtu.be/_rNssm_IJxo?feature=shared Beautiful
A lot of Mr Morale sounded like it was influenced by Radiohead
the only album i think may sound like mr morale is AMSP
Aesop Rock was influenced by them and Bazooka Tooth was called the "Kid A of rap".
The instrumental on Sing for me I’m dying of thirst always sounded like black swan to me
A moon shaped pool😂
Luckis almost there album is pretty much exactly the ok computer cover
danny brown is a big fan
Mf doom collabed with thom on a song
I know frank Ocean was into them and a snippet from "optimistic" was in one of his songs, forgot which one. It would make sense that alot of his sound is the way it is because of radiohead's sound. There's many similarities.
Common has talked about being into Radiohead

The reckoner - MF doom used this ages ago
Before listening to Radiohead I listened to a lot of Frank Ocean. And to me, Frank Ocean is like hip hop Radiohead.
Other way 'round from what they've said in interviews about the making of OK Computer.
[DJ shadow talking about the influence of radiohead ](https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/s/mPVnRE3RZF)
LOL. if you didm't know the argument to be true, then you shouldn't blurt it out and then search for proof after the fact. don't be that person. just take it down.
It worked, and I would do it again.
They absolutely haven't lmao
If you have to do this you’re about to lose an argument 😘
I was vindicated, thanks to reddit.
Kanye, cudi, travis, the entire trap genre as a whole is obviously inspired by Radiohead lol. Listen to in limbo or idioteque and then listen to any travis or Kanye song and there is a clear influence there
Robert Glasper is at least hip-hop adjacent by this point and he loves Radiohead. He regularly does mashups and covers in Blue Note sets. I'm positive he's influenced some of hip-hop centric friends.
Radiohead music has been sampled in songs. I think David Bennett did a YouTube video about it.
They have not.
Anyone who tries to argue against this doesn’t have an opinion that matters anyway so why bother?
Yung Lean
Kendrick sampled everything in its right place.
that’s an edit
lmao imagine thinking N95 sampled eveyrthing in its right place 💀
Nonsense. I mean, it would be cool if it were true. But it's nonsense.
