Ye is a Hip hop act. Their sound grew out of Portishead and Daft Punk. Those roots explain a lot about how Ye arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Genesis and Jethro Tull, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Beyoncé, Sean Leon, Jamie Foxx, Brandy and Common, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Ye, reaching back through Portishead and forward to Beyoncé.
