Prince? Prince?!?!? Are you fukking serious breh?
His sound has evolved while still staying familiar enough for fans of his earlier work to enjoy
He puts 100% in his live performances
Has worked with pretty much everybody.

I'm not saying he's better or worse than prince. He's just the only one I can think of RIGHT NOW who has been as consistently on fire as prince was back in his day.

Prince dropped 9 albums back to back from Purple Rain to Love Symbol Album.. While producing them himself.

Cool your jets and just let Weeknd do himself, he's doing great. I'm gonna check out that prime special now, I didn't know there was one.
