The Weeknd for the past 6 years has just gone downhill compared to his classic works like Trilogy and Kiss Land. MDM showed he's still capable but he doesn't put that effort into a full album anymore and it's depressing to listen.
New Abel >>>>
Lauryn Hill should be up there with Nina Simone, Franklin, Anita Baker, Mariah, MJB tbh
idg why so many on here are so invested in artist popularity i mean its clearly not something he's chasing right? "semi-limelight" for what?
he deserves recognition it would just be a good thing for him imo
Travis
Rodeo
45 song’s in one album
Like what’s going on man
No Quincy/Babyface/Timbo/Pharrell figure
Drake already achieved greatness
But I think hes one of the only artists that has the power to change the sound of hip hop and just refuses to do it

Cuz he gotta appeal to 25 different demographics
Like Drake doesn’t have to do anything we want him to, it’s cool and I’m all for artists doing whatever the f*** they want
But he has that power and it’s just interesting to see that he doesn’t use it
he deserves recognition it would just be a good thing for him imo
but he gets recognition i think he makes a pretty conscious effort to not be famous/ in any kind of limelight not everyone wants to do that lifestyle. this mysterious levels is more than just internet jokes for some of us !

He’s so f***ing rich man u don’t even understand, he’s almost essentially independent too
He really doesn’t have to appeal to anyone anymore if he doesn’t want to. Give us a Yeezus already bro
Word to Sinewave, I want Drake to try crack and give us WLB
Whole Lotta Beige

k
i cant express how frustrating it is for the clb cover to look like a scorpion back cover. drake with an exec producer shaman type figure would be such a monster

Yea thats my point he wants his music to appeal to everyone
Days of him making s*** like IYRTITL is long gone

He’s too obsessed with fame to pursue music solely for the love of it
also you really ignored me in that politics thread then replied to this
? You responded in that thread?
Honestly, Rick Ross.
He has his own MBDTF within him, songs like DITRDress, Maybach Music Series, Yatch Club etc. Ross can give us the highest class material and doesn't (for one cohesive album that bumps in the whip lols)
rxnephews manager is actively blocking me getting placements and its impossible to say how this might potentially jeopardise the trajectory of his career

you don't have to like his new music but from a songwriting perspective he's inarguably improved leaps and bounds since trilogy. some of the songs on those tapes are literally just him moaning aimlessly over ambient beats and are overly reliant on atmosphere and samples (mostly on HOB and thursday, by EOS he was starting to carve out his niche as a songwriter). it's just a bold faced lie to say he "refuses" to be great, he's always getting better, just not in the way you want him to.
