What I was trying to say is that Bruno’s music feels like it was written by a team and then performed by an excellent writer, and then The Weeknd’s music feels a lot tougher but more genuine

To me at least. But not to say that all dark music is immediatly better and all pop is trash

O reely¿

Lol

MJ was so great at praising other artists

But weeknd did say himself he’s inspired by Drakes sound on trilogy.

soooo you just said you don’t care about any professional grade of metrics yet the love he gets on ktt angers you?

3 times a month he gets called a scammer on ktt where do you see the love?

blonde falls apart after the second part? you mean the second half? containing some of his best work in nights, siegfried, godspeed, white ferrari?

weeknd doesn’t just have forgettable songs the man has a forgettable album in bbtm. talk about falling apart? It took him 3 albums to perfect the balance between pop and dark music yet endless is considered trash to you.

I don’t even think you know what you’re talking about

Maybe she is wearing heels???? who really cares, Kendrick could be 3ft 4 and I would still study every sentences that comes out his mouth, greatness owes little to its physical prison

IIRC they both have said they were heavily inspired by each other

Yall forget how many pop misses this dude weeknd got

Rockin, secrets, a lonely night, love to lay...

LMAOO Fax

He the goat still

these super bowl performances are wasted on American crowds

they're f***ing with the recording quality and they're not even turning up

That's disingenuous for you to spin it like that when we all know the full story. And So Far Gone is Drake's first classic unless you really think otherwise

I mean maybe a little but I really don’t hear it much at all
Especially given how much Take Care took what Weeknd was doing

Drake is obviously incredibly important to the Toronto scene development

But sound wise I think trilogy and take care are the blueprint and those are more Weeknd than Drake

Classic tape maybe yea

goes vice versa.
Drake was inspired by that when he made Take Care.

Idk about the Toronto sounds... How is that sounds specific to Toronto?
Is drake doing that too?
How can we for sure accredit that to him solely? Did he make it (produced that sound) or did he make it a thing? (first project with that sound to pop)

The hits on BBTM make up for the fact it was a lackluster album overall The Tell Your Friends-As You Are run on that album is pretty unparalleled from his contemporaries

Michael would've liked Weeknd but I don't know how he would've felt about some of Weeknd's content. He was pretty conscious when it came to that sort of thing.

Lil Jon has some good songs but that one was like all the worst tropes in one go

To the window to the wall busta rhymes remix that lil Jon and Chris brown remix of thank you snap yo fingers w 40 water culo w that classic Luda era pit bull

And whatever song drake and thug flipped on WATTBAS was fire

I think he made it or at least heavily laid the blueprint for that dark r&b that’s so prevalent

Party definitely built on it

Let’s keep it a buck though, 40 and Doc McKinney created the Toronto sound
