    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.

    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

    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

    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 !

    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)

    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.
