Can we finally acknowledge that The Weeknd is the Prince of our time

[AtlienInTheGoodieMob]

Prince sucks. One of those artists black people claim they stan but never bump their music.

Negged and I pray and hope that everyone you love gets hit by a bus

The weeknd has never been shy regarding the influnce of Michael Jackson on his music.

I mean, I can't feel my face, his last single, was screams Bad era MJ. And then there's his cover of Dirty Diana.



Now, If you want to hear a modern day Prince. Listen to D'angelo.

 

[Kingshango]

Disgusting and I like Abel.

 

[onlylno]

Prince? Really? Then some nikkas had the gumption to say he is more closer to MJ?

What wrong with this generation brehs?

Were speaking in terms of Which artist has had a bigger influence on the weeknd.

Let's be clear,

No modern artist will ever reach the level of fame, power, and influence that Prince and MJ had.

At least, not in this generation.

Do you guys even like hip hop music anymore? When did this become a faux pop forum?

Hip Hop been dead in favor of hip pop for years, so there's no point in discussing it anymore.

I think Miguel is more like Prince than the Weeknd.

I saw a Miguel concert no to long ago and his show along with mannerism was most definitely inspired by Prince.

 

[MoneyTron]

Prince wrote, produced, and sang for a good 5 artists as well as himself at once for about a decade. And a ude might be the top 3 most talented artist in modern music history.

Abel cool but he's not Prince or even this gen's Prince.

Watch this nikka play the guitar for the first and last minute of the video. He was playing around doing mind blowing stuff.

does the weekend play all his instruments and write his records from top to bottom?

 

[Piff Perkins]

How the hell is he closer to Michael Jackson, have you ever even heard Prince's music before?


Him and Prince are virtually the same artist. Except that The Weeknd ain't no biter

Been? Prince played every instrument on his album and mixed multiple genres together. Weeknd's new album is pop, including various tracks he didn't write...

those were the biggest hits too. Wasnt there a thread saying The Weeknd's music was written by 40 year old white people?

You can't be trusted anymore if you think The Weekend is anything close to the purple Yoda known as Prince.

Please go listen to Prince music before you go making rash judgments. Prince has done jazz, funk, rock, classical etc. The weekend is looking like a one trick pony.

I'm not even going to dignify this thread with another response. All I'm going to say is do some research on Prince and learn about why he is one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. Learn about how he was literally a one man band since he was a teenager who wrote, composed, and performed thousands of songs, often playing all the instruments. Listen to his music and learn about how he could go from pop to disco to R&B to jazz to rock n roll to funk to soul and do it innovatively, not just mimicking already established blueprints. Then get into his classic, groundbreaking albums like 1999, Purple Rain, and Sign of the Times that sounded like nothing that came before them.

Maybe watch this doc.

Then download...

Then come back and delete this disrespectful, insipid, blasphemous ass thead and issue a formal apology.
