Nicki. She has the talent to make a classic but she keeps trying to be trendy and chase sales
Explain
He has the potential to execute a lyrical and instrumental vision that could totally reinvent how we see the old school revival but we just hear him rap about bricks over pianos and guitar solos
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
He's already done that a few times. Him and 40 gave Toronto their sound.
Dean Blunt
NOW I LIKE DEAN BUT…
I kind of wish he had a more consistent trajectory that would really push him into a semi-limelight spot
He’s so heavily revered by so many artists, but if he had a more consistent output and expanded his sound he could do pretty well for himself
Him dropping BM2 was great, but was really a flash in the pan between the last one and some so so mixtapes and side projects between
Redeemer out now
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.
The Weeknd now strictly makes music for white girls who attend all the parties and do all the cocaine.

He has already changed the sound of rap like 3 times lmao.

Sounds like his usual m.o.
Maximizing streams with long, bouncing all over the place albums instead of having some type of musical direction
Cant disagree with this take tbh even though dude is in my top 3
where's Rihanna's album at
Girl just became a billionaire she may never release another record again lol

Atrocious take
After Hours is so clearly LABOURED over
You can not f*** w the pop s*** but the idea that he’s not putting effort in is f***ing absurd
A$AP Rocky could pump out more LiveLoveA$AP quality tapes if he stopped switching up his style
Artists that come to mind off the top of my head would be Sampha and Mr Hudson, based off their lack of output

I think that person just mispoke tbh, he definitely puts in a lot of effort but the problem is that he has stagnated his signature sound, everyone knows he's more than capable of improving on it and expanding it even further but it seems he doesn't care and to me (and I think a lot of people) I think that's just a bit depressing considering the potential.
AH had a few nice cuts, but songs like Often/The Hills were genuinely groundbreaking and I don't think AH had anything that powerful
the s*** that makes this more depressing is there's no artist out there that's making music anywhere near similar to those early Weeknd hits, no one
