That I can agree on. He went pop, cut his hair ectHonestly, dude said he needed to get off that doped out abstract music which I think he did prior to his huge rise. His hits are wayyyy more pop than anything he was dropping back then. His early fans still want a house of balloons weeknd not a blinding lights Abel
but his real blow up was him talking bout the exact same content as he did on trilogy so I think he blows up regardless

Man he did good. U projecting tryna feel closer to your favorite artist you don’t know that manDid you see his performance at the SB
This thread is a perfect example of how people can miss greatness until it’s too late. I wasn’t on here at this time but I would’ve disagreed with every post in here.
I was at Weeknd’s first NY shows in October 2012 and knew that nikka was outta here. He had the whole Bronx in the building in XO apparel. A bytch started giving head right next me when he did The Party & The Afterparty.
You got people in here saying Weeknd wasn’t gonna surpass Miguel lol. Saying he needs to be “traditional.” The traditional route would’ve left Weeknd where Miguel is right now. Music is less about who has the best voice now and more about who has the most interesting brand.
Weeknd benefitted from predicting a shift in the market before it fully arrived. Traditional R&B was dying out after Trey Songs’ peak and nikkas got tired of cotton candy ass simp music. The Weeknd came with the edge that R&B needed at the right time
10 years later, Weeknd is probably the most creative mainstream artist we have. I don’t like everything he puts out but the effort he puts into his music is undeniable.
