Do people realise how much The Weeknd has been gifting rappers fire songs? (even outside of Drake)

He damn near made drake legit star status singlehandedly. After that thank me later bs he was on the verge of being considered a Britney Spears type artist then the weeknd saved him gave him a new sound and his best album. Now drake got 100 ghost writers trying to recreate what Abel did for him. He basically was to drake what Kanye been to jigga for 10 years now

AND his first album better than any of franks homotions still. Next

Lol gtfoh his first album bricked so bad Weeknd changed his whole style up, this is fact.

I can't feel my face sounds like a soulless watered down version of Novacane. Facts B.

Notice how the Often video also bites the concept from the Novacane video:jbhmm:

Is getting a #1 single even a big deal today?

Op is right tho, Weeknd needs to chill and recognize his stardom and talent and not whore himself out like Drake. Rnb nikkas don't last as long, in a couple years he'll be trey songs status while Frank will be sitting on multiple Grammys and critically acclaimed albums.

Frank came out of the closet to achieve "all"that. If he doesn't come out none of that happens. And Frank's album ain't multi platinum nor was he nominated for an oscar.

And where is he now?

His next album has been the most anticipated for like 2 years now, Weeknd low key lucky Frank ain't decide to drop last Summer:sas1:

None of the songs Abel gave Drake were even official singles I don't think. He wrote the hook for Practice which was the last single off that album maybe

The Motto, HYFR,Take Care, Headlines were the mega smashes and had nothing to do with Weeknd. You guys love to rewrite history but Weeknd did contribute beautifully to the album. Shot for me, crew love and the ride were my favourite songs probably. The Ride :wow:

Take care was shaped using Weeknds sound,even drake will tell you that. Album also had insane legs because it was a far better album than thank me later

If you don't hear how much take care as a whole sounds like a weeknd project all you need to do is look at how much drake stopped sounding like take care soon as Abel left him. Now he sound like Quentin.

Weeknd doesn't rap.
Quentin doesn't sing .

Weeknd did an interview clearly stating what he did on Take Care, ain't no secrets.
