The Weeknd could be a star if he wasn't so weird

[NvrCMyNut]

To you it is. R&B is the backbone of the reason you're on the Coli. You seen the reaction Charlie Wilson got at the BET awards? No abstract artist will ever get a reaction like that 30-40 years after their debut album. R&B is forever this abstract shyt is temporary until the niche fanbase finds an even bigger weirdo.

you can't be serious.

Dude is a queen. Thats probably why hes not taking off.

The kid is headlining a show here at the legendary Fox Theater, so I think its safe to say that he has made it.

 

[Shadow King]

He's a Gold artist. Mainly cause Drake opened the door for him. He's got his own lane though.

i like the weeknd cuz he is weird

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

rofl @ the OP talking bout Weeknd not being big in the black community when his fanbase is worldwide

He'd be just another artist if he made normal songs, his songs are dark as fukk, basically he's created his own lane shytting on bytches and telling them they're expendable and could possibly OD in his presence

He's ok, has some cuts here and there. Shines fairly well on his features but let's keep it 100, a long as Drake is around, this cat has no chance of being a huge artist.

Miguel is the top of the totem pole for R&B now (that alone should tell you something) and though I fukk with music fairly heavy he'll end up being another Musiq Soulchild or Anthony Hamilton if he's lucky.

who cares if he's not gonna be some big superstar... being able to live off comfortably doing what you love is the fukking jackpot

 

[Stealth]

great thread i agree. exactly why i dnt fk wit him or his music

 

[lowkey0z]

dude needs to go back to stealing jeremy rose's beat's brehs, house of balloons/thursday the bytches go wild over those tracks

I don't think weeknd wants to be like ultra famous that's why his music is the way it is and why the nikka has a bonzai tree hairstyle . He's on a label now so it will be interesting to see how much the label gets him to interact with the media.

Releasing "abstract" music can still get you lots of records sold and money made. He found a lane that works. It's likely he'll eat good off of music festivals and his own concerts for a few years.He'll get the love of the mainstream press too.

Why sign to a record label if you don't want to be famous? He could just release shyt via youtube and come on stage with a mask on like MF Doom. Dude wants money and fame which is why he signed to a major. He just wants people to think he doesn't. Same goes for Kanye. If all you give a shyt about is the music then you don't sign your soul to the Jews to distribute your art when you can do it yourself via the internet.
