It was impactful and Weeknd’s contribution don’t make take away from the album lol what kinda logic is that?
He had what 4 songs? The album is 20 tracks
I don't think so, the weeknds aspects added to the pot were what was impactful. That's like saying So Far Gone was impactful when really that's Kanye and Cudi influence and truthfully So Far Gone is Drake's classic but it's not an album, it's a mixtape.
The logic behind it is that without The Weeknd the album is not what it is and with the weeknd it still falls short. If we are going to call it a classic we have to give the weeknd credit as well. He didn't just have 4 songs on the album but had 4 of arguable the best songs on the album and is said to have given Drake half his album he was working on. Even on the songs he is not on and he didn't work on he still had his influence on them clearly imo.
Imagine Nas's Illmatic and Jay-Z giving him Four songs that made the album. Imagine Biggie's Life After Death and Craig mack giving him songs with his flavor to make the album what it is. Think about it. It's a great album I admit but even take away The Weeknd playing a role and just look at it for what it is, listen to it top to bottom and it still falls short. shyt is too Rnb to call a hiphop album is one argument I feel is valid but even take that out of it the shyt still feels like it's missing something. Maybe if Drake and The Weeknd stayed cool and Weeknd joined the OVO sweatshop and they did one more album the second one would be a real classic.
