the Weeknd is highkey killing it this year

[Mike Ock]

he got kicked out of the bet awards for actin a fool. he trashed his dressing room because he was mad he had to share the stage with alicia keys

Lol...this don;t even seem logical. They performed his damn song together.

 

[mr.africa]

holy crap, i don't listen to radio AT ALL
i have not heard a weekend song all year!!
no joke!!

 

[Don Jesus]

Okay STOP. STOP RIGHT HERE.


I'll give you that Embrya is credited with introducing that ambient, atmospheric R&B sound.
And that's arguable, even.
But none of those people you listed have anything that can be likened to "Luxury: Cococure",
"Matrimony: Maybe You" or "Arroz Con Pollo".

"Maxwell Jr." my ass...

stop being a purist

and get your head out your ass

I find most new r&b artists to be bland

but to disregard the influence is blasphemy

 

[Nature Boy Ric Flair]

WEEKND IS HARD ON HOES 110%

HE'S THE ANTI-SIMP R&B KING



WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[feelosofer]

The Weeknd isn't a "they" ..its one person

edited, but my point still stands

 

[Idaeo]

I Can't Feel My Face is gonna be one of those songs you always hear on the radio.

has that American Boy, Daft Punk euro, funky groove

You're the one that must have your head in your ass, with your ears in there
real deep if you think those artists you named are making music comparable
to Embrya.

And whose being a "purist" talking about "blasphemy" here?

Just stop.

Get off the wood. It's no good. There goes the neighborhood.

Is this true?

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

this shyt right here doesn't get enough recognition

I still play this shyt

 

[Taadow]

OK so what is it?

That's a great question, yo.

 

[Professor Polo]

this shyt right here doesn't get enough recognition

One of my favorite Weeknd songs

 

[Bomberman]

Hipsters kill me with this shyt about his music falling off. What they really hate is the fact that he's popular (and that they don't get acknowledged for "finding him"). I don't know, but I enjoy music for what it is, that is the actual music and artistry. Not to be some kind of "middle man" between artist and listener.

Same cats act like everything he did before 2013 was great. Some of his songs then were boring to me, while others were dope. But to say overall he was better back then, nah.

There's a reason why he's getting a ton of fame right now, dude has had some great releases and features the last year.

 

[Max B]

Thats my neighberhood breh doing good

 

[Budda]

This is exactly why i don't take white girls opinions on Rnb seriously.

Weekend better than D'angelo, Miguel, Bj Chicago Kid, Bilal? hell no.

 

[Anti-Anime]

His voice just doesnt do it for me. Now James Fauntleroy's voice ... No homo
