100% the leg drop lol its sad

that’s missing the point

I’m not saying they’re comparable
I’m saying they’re the closest two which they blatantly are
Their careers are very similar to MJ and Prince just at a noticeably lower level

Y’all are allowed to draw comparisons between artists like MJ and Prince without saying an artist is on that tier at all

The Weeknd is becoming a legend on his own accord.

Comparing him to past greats is disrespectful to both him and them.

Pop and R&B legend, going to finish as one of the top artists of all time sales/quality wise

Yeah. I suppose they would be the two I would choose. I think Usher got closer than Frank and Abel did tbh. And I love Abel and Frank and would listen to them over Usher any day.

Does a bear s*** in the woods?

Kiss Land is a 10/10 album by the way. Just leaving that here.

I think Usher had a closer like 12-18 months to that level than Weeknd has

But Weeknd has had a better 5 year period than Usher has had

Fair. Usher was ridiculous in his prime.

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.

Btw since when do you have to be MJ level to become a legend. Than MJ would literally be the only music legend.

Ktt's "new thing can never be better than old thing" attitude

Idk if he can be regarded as an R&B legend when he’s never really even touched conventional r&b

YES

While when “old thing” is Michael Jackson then yea

the moment you bite the 80's sound you lose your ballots to go as a legend, I love his old s***, but I gotta be neutral this time

I’ve said for a long time Weeknd is the Michael Jackson of our generation

Idiotic statement

S*** take

music is subjective

Don’t see how it’s overrated to make good music and get your bread at the same time.

Frank drop an occasional album, goes back home and watches Netflix and never come back outside and niggas talk like he reinventing music.

The moment D.D dropped you knew
