    King of the fall was suppose to be the sound. Then he took the max Martin route ever since. Creative control went down the gutter. Republic owns The Weeknd!

    That’s wild as f*** I hate it with a burning passion. Got some jawns though

    I didn’t really get into him til it came out. Got played every day when I worked at urban outfitters so probably explains why I like it so much

    It’s the sequencing and the artwork that really don’t do it for me

    It was the first full length thing I heard from him too but it just made me
    Go back and appreciate trilogy. Then I got into Starboy & MDM and then I started exploring the OG mixtapes and kiss land and really fell in love w his music

    I'll never not be mad about Girls Born in the 90s being turned into Acquainted
    The 2014 album could have been his best stuff, imagine Kiss Land but expanded on

    yeah hearing the og versus final is so painful. how do you take that and intentionally make it an abomination.

    So what material are we thinking for sure made it out of these sessions?

    Girls Born in the 90s
    Often
    Perhaps a early version of The Hills?

    Tell Your Friends I won't count since that started as a Kanye track, and KOTF seems to have been made prior to the re-location to Seattle

    nothing without you og and tell your friends demo

    ovo fun

    One of the biggest what ifs of the 2010s is if Kiss Land got good reception, its crazy how much s*** might've been different rn

    whole musical landscape would be different

    it’s sad bc as he gets older i doubt he would want to return to the depravity of his younger years

    his maturity will be amazing to see but idek mane i feel like we were robbed of what could have been some of the greatest creative output of the 2010’s...

    Got sent a folder a while back on here called "May leaks", does anybody know when these songs were recorded? Has tracks like Pullin up verses, Lonely Thoughts, Insomnia, Out Here and Be Amazing Be God on it. The album is called 2016, but I'm not sure if these songs were just compiled then

  • Apr 10, 2021

    Damn those 14-15-16 leaks were something else

    Here's my opinion on which songs were made during the era:
    Without You (NWY OG)
    In The 90s (Acquainted OG)
    When I (Pullin Up OG)
    Baddest B**** Around
    Often
    KOTF
    Be God
    On Me / Get Some / Mumbling Snippet
    Drunk In Love (Remix)
    Dark Times (Demo)
    Real Life (Demo)
    Earned It (Demo)
    DBS OCT
    I think there might be versions of Win My Love and Prisoners too cause both existed in some way during KL era and BBTM/Starboy.

    The Hills I think was not from that album cause from the interviews it seems that it was worked on since early 2015 but early draft could've existed in 2014, it's hard to tell. Most of May Leaks (Ruff Refs to be exact) 100% aren't from 2014 too

    Im glad that he scrapped the album tho maybe the album would not have been a success with his dark nature and we would not have had this big superstar right now

    yeah I wouldn't change anything but I still want to hear more from it, musically i think it was ahead of BBTM

    Actually, OG As You Are most likely originated from those sessions too
