Let’s keep it a buck though, 40 and Doc McKinney created the Toronto sound
No one downplaying that IMO
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
Drake and Thug

ahem mister illangelo should be there too
At work rn, lemme cook up when I get home
when a nigga actually calls your bluff
love it
Lmaoo I'm not calling your bluff I really want to know what y'all talking about idk much about that Toronto sound tbh so a quick summary would be nice
Take your time, I'm really interested now
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.
It’s kinda impossible to discuss
They’re a package
There would be no Weeknd without Doc and Ill
But it most likely wouldn’t have popped off without Abel
I do not give a s*** about pitchfork or any other ratings or what some bald ass melon says about music. But Frank has been overhyped as f***, especially in KTT. He has a lot of greats songs, but he lacks a lot what The Weeknd has. Frank has a lot of potential, but we rarely get to see what he has to offer. Endless was trash in most parts, but was hyped as f*** here. Blonde is deemed as a top 3 project in the 2010s but really falls apart after the 2nd part and with it's interludes that really set apart the mood. Frank also lacks longevity, dropping way too rarely.
Weeknd also has a lot of filler and forgettable songs. But has a lot more highlights starting from the OG mixtapes, Kiss Land and After Hours really sealed the deal.
Worst post on KTT2 by far
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)
Not sure if a joke but HOB dropped when RnB was doing techno and dj collabs so it could sell.
He went and stripped that sound and brought an alternative pop version of the classic RnB,changing the lyrics to fit his surroundings.
Everyone tried to do that after,nobody came close
like listen to thank me later, listen to trilogy, and then listen to take care.
I feel like you’re leaving out SFG to make this point have a little more weight
Basically the whole Toronto sound is trilogy
You could trace the lineage like t pain brought up auto tune, Kanye used that to start making slow emotional music, drake took that to a different direction, Weeknd developed on it, and party then made it sound more mainstream which led to the wave we have today all over rnb
It kinda overlaps with the era where they started making edm beats

Way more 40 than doc if we keeping it real
In toronto rnb rn ur way more likely to hear a party/drake clone than someone on that indie sampling trilogy s***

True, just giving the producers credit where it’s due
I mean
Who’s really gonna play Just the Way You Are or Grenade at a function
Those are incredibly dated songs even though I love them
Nothin on you was the best song from that era all said and done
Magic too tbh

oh yea don’t get me wrong he took plenty of influence from others to do that sound
But I think the primary influence was Trilogy/Take Care in 2011

u right, weeknd definitely heavily influenced by so far gone
True, just giving the producers credit where it’s due
