‘The Truman Show’ helped shape the themes Gambino explored throughout Because the Internet. The album, screenplay & visuals examine surveillance, isolation & the increasingly blurred line between real life & performance, echoing Truman’s existence.

While never confirmed by Carti himself, fans have long connected ‘Whole Lotta Red’ to ‘Nosferatu’. The album’s vampiric imagery, black-and-white visuals & Carti’s transformation into “King Vamp” have drawn loose comparisons to the horror classic and its portrayal of the vampire.

Ye has long cited ‘Akira’ as a major influence, with its dystopian visuals and industrial atmosphere helping shape the chaotic world of ‘Yeezus’.

David Lynch’s dreamlike masterpiece helped shape one of underground rap’s most surreal albums, using the film’s unsettling portrayal of LA to help shape the album’s distorted world of fame, ambition & fear.

‘The Holy Mountain’ helped shape the surreal world of Travis Scott’s ‘UTOPIA’, where the film’s settings & psychedelic approach to storytelling can be felt throughout the album’s visual language.

Destroy Lonely pulled from ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ to shape the world of ‘If Looks Could Kill,’ channeling the film’s fisherman killer through his cover art, the “Look Killa” persona & the project’s larger slasher-inspired aesthetic.
