That would be Tank
Dudes like Tank make the same shyt over and over again, with garbage, boring, been done lyrics and production. And think that the one that can make the music that sounds exactly like (insert the first song that inspired them) wins.

They don't understand why they are garbage. It would be as if Jay-z did 20 reasonable doubts but with weaker bars and beats for every new one that dropped. That's Tank and them. Just because you have a voice don't mean you nice, just like just cause you can style on people in the park doesn't mean that you can play in the Nba.

I hat old people who don't understand why they are wack :camby:

I couldn't even name 2 Weeknd songs but I just was asking a question cause he's been 1 of the most current artists. :manny:
:comeon: With as many huge hits as he's had on his last 2 albums, please tell me you're exaggerating.




What do you think about this joint from his trilogy of mixtapes he put out before he got signed?:

Miquel gets recognition. Don’t blame frank or The Weeknd for his disconnect with the fans and media.

The weeknd & Frank ocean are like hermits in comparison to Miguel tho.

Miguel is probably closer to his fan base than both of them combined.

The real problem is that Miguel doesn't get the type of platform to showcase his talent like the other two have so he doesn't get his just due.

Miguel’s issues or lack of recognition have more to do with Bruno Mars than Frank or The Weeknd.

I’m a frank fan, I don’t even know what to classify his music as nowadays but it damn sure ain’t rnb. The Weeknd too. They’ve both been teetering on the edge of that rnb/experimental spectrum since they debuted.

Miquel still makes traditional rnb tho

I fukks with all three. And the great thing about Music is it’s whatever you’re in the mood for.

Blonde was heavy rotation the last year but lately been jamming to House of Ballons :wow:

Gets recognition?! Is that a joke?
His last album is pure crack but no-one I know was talking about it and that sh1ts disappeared without a trace

Dude definitely does not get the credit he deserves

You could make an argument for Miguel, Syd (The Internet,) Mayer Hawthorne, Frank Ocean, Jhené, PND, BJ the Chicago Kid, Kelela and Anderson. Paak, but for my money The Weeknd sit on top in terms of the best new RnB acts of the 2010s.
