To most who’ve been following since Trilogy era yeah. For the general public give it 3-4 more years and he will be.

KTT really hates The Weeknd for no valid reason whatsoever

I think the general public considers him a legend for totally different reasons than his dedicated fanbase would. And I can't think of any other artist where that's the case

They set the bar

But there are other artists that are legends that aren’t quite on their level..

That’s like saying Stephen Curry can’t be a legend because he’s not as good as Jordan

He stopped doing the exact type of music he started with and now it's trendy to hate him

I got a different definition of what a legend is.

That’s so unfair though because not everyone can be #1

You’re talking like music can only have a handful of legends throughout history

Can you still be a legend even if no one talks about you or your music anymore?

If you think that in 30/40 years people are just gonna stop talking about The Weeknd and act like him and his songs never existed, you’re legitimately delusional

Especially because his career is far from over at this moment in time

Also, he’ll forever be remembered at the very least as the Halftime Performer at the Covid-Affected Super Bowl

You think so? How many pop artists from the past 50 years do people still talk about (spoiler very very few). You're delusional and unable to view things from an objective standpoint. I like the weeknd but he's still some things to do in order to be considered a legend.

"Also, he’ll forever be remembered at the very least as the Halftime Performer at the Covid-Affected Super Bowl"

wow this is something else bro you're delusional

Absolutely

not a MJ or madonna lvl legend though

you are free to discuss

kinda impossible to compare generations but I feel like each has only 5-10 that really cement themselves as goats and then there are others still held high like Lionel Richie. Idk if he's in the 10 id consider the faces of this one

but my opinion dont matter to anyone but me ya feel

He was a legend before Starboy

people never truly appreciate legends at their peak so it doesnt matter what they think anyway

WOAH-woah
WOAH-woah

He will be considered a legend when he passes away.

Yes

Usher got a diamond album and two more that are right on the edge of diamond plus confessions is considered one of the goat r&b albums oat along with usher being considered a top 5 male singer/dancer and damn near every r&b act of today cites him as an influence

Theres levels to legends, Weeknd a legend too but usher is one of the gods imo

Nickleback has a Diamond album

I would say The Weeknd has eclipsed Usher in every way except for dancing. Just because your an influence doesn’t mean you can’t be surpassed, just means your older
