5 Years on....House of Balloons revisited

[Crack Daniels]

Man...I remember feeling guilty listening to this for the first time. Like R&B isn't supposed to be this dark and gritty, but it sounds amazing

Abel really took us all on a ride with this project. Really hard to create that type of aura and mystique in music nowadays

 

[WickedGames]

Always thought this was trash, but I liked "The Morning". Haven't played that joint since early 2012

Taste all the way off

One of the greatest bodies of work in modern times

about to listen right meow on my way home. I need to go home and see what date my download file was created to see how close to the release date I had it.

Loft Music. Coming Down. The transition between House of Ballons and Glass Table Girls. It's his best work and that's a fact. I always try to put friends who liked BBTM on HOB before anything else.

Let's thank Rose, Doc, and Illangelo for giving Weakend his best material to date

If they ever link up again.

This shyt changed the game. It's the R&B So Far Gone

I remember coming late to the party on getting to know the Weeknd. It was when Thursday dropped and the thread for it on SOHH was doing STUPID numbers the night it dropped so I downloaded it but and was like "it's cool" but I wasn't blown away. Went back and downloaded and listened to HOB and was

I ALREADY knew it was a classic by the first line on High For This.

No other way around it...CLASSIC

I remember trying to tell people about this dude and they didn't get it

I was with this bytch at the time and she couldn't understand

Now all these bytches love him but they don't know the real shyt he was on

I hate that with him and other artist. I tried like hell to get them on The Weeknd but they wouldn't bite. Only two people I put on rocked w/em from the get go and they STILL fans. I do remember clowning him for that name when I first heard of him tho
