The Weeknd owes his career to this song

[2CT]

Alot of nikkas used to call The Weeknd a The Dream knock off when he first came out.

The two even had a lil beef cause of it. Dream that dude, making futuristic music since the early 2000s

Nikka please. The Weeknd is MJ's son

 

[ignorethis]

Nikka please. The Weeknd is MJ's son

nah they started to blatantly rip off MJ only recently
Weeknd has always tried to sing like MJ, but his overall sound wasn't like MJ

OP is kinda right

[Pier7]

This thread taking me back like a motherfukka, Dream was that shyt back in my bachelor days yo

[I love Latina women]

naw, this song sums up the weeknd's career

 

[2CT]

Nikka please. The Weeknd is MJ's son

exactly what his A&Rs want you to think

 

[Free White & 21]

The weeknd's vocal style is derived from The Dream, MJ, and a LOT from this Ethiopian singer Aster Aweke




His raunchy r&b style is from rkelly by way of The Dream (extention of kells with more prince style influences)

His production style is trip hop, the dream/tricky stewart, and some sprinkles of nine inch nails,

Fancy really is a classic record.

on the Weeknd/MJ subject, i remember when he dropped the third tape and people shyt on the Dirty Diana cover.
