Influence, Impact, Songwriting, Consistency, Accolades.

Probably a few more that I’m missing but something on the lines of those.

Gotcha! How do you feel about longevity as a measurement?

i think that's what did it for me

i was watching it like

it's one of the most interesting debates in art and life rn in my opinion

i wish star wars properly tackled this with kylo

s*** could have been goat

look at lebron rn

another deeper issue i'm trying to get across with this topic is

the power of narratives on our society

i feel like people just accept s*** as fact without finding out for themselves

i recognize a lot of young boys come on here and just say some wild disrespectful s*** just because

but i feel like i've proved that i'm being genuine and just trying to spark debate

That’s fair but you should’ve worded the thread differently, you would’ve received proper responses with the cost of less pages.

Makes sense.

how would you have worded it?

“Whose music do you prefer, The Weeknd or Prince?”

Then you would’ve received nicer responses.

i feel like people would have still assumed i'm trolling

but that wording is cleaner for sure

Prince is better than MJ & his imitator so

does being a better artist automatically make the music sound better?

how many more exceptional albums would it take before this take isn't nuts

Well I'm saying hell no because they are two different artists, but now I see you changed the title so I prefer Prince's music, but Weeknd would need a Purple Rain tier album in his catalog

how do you feel about after hours?

VizeGuy

AOTY but I don't know about classic status just yet, who knows overtime it might end up becoming Purple Rain tier, but as of right now I still think he can drop something better

how do you feel about trilogy?

i feel like that's the project that MJ and Prince have to respect

have we seen anything like trilogy before?

VizeGuy

That's a good point, I haven't listened to Trilogy in a while but I can't deny it's classic status. I'm not too sure then, I would never categorize these legends cause they have different sounds, but I'm not sure. Do you think he is better than Prince?

OP ironically compared the two and now weeknd stans are running with it and saying he’s a GOAT

i wasn't being ironic at all

i'm serious

i like your point about art being objective versus subjective

as a rapper

i feel this

i think eminem is objectively really good at rapping

but if you listen to the weeknd more

what does that say?

the larger point of this topic is to raise this question

yes, we all can acknowledge when something is fine art or exceptional

but if we are not personally connected to it

does that truly make it "better?"

not an direct parallel but another example would be

yeah, guns are objectively better than swords

but if i like swords more and get more out of them

are guns better for me?
