Let’s be real, if Weeknd was white nobody would count after hours as r&b lol

Thank you.

He has multiple projects that are R&B and multiple songs within Pop projects that are R&B.

He still makes R&B music like what are we arguing about lmao

small town fame, brian steel and no face are heat. could do w/o the rest

it’s a decent showcase but kendrick’s rapping is leagues better rn

kendricks more versatile rn too lowkey

He has not made an R&B album (emphasis on album) since Kiss Land.

So you’re showing that AGAIN the idea of classifying his music entirely as one genre is flawed?

at some point we gotta stop

I’m asking you a very simple question.

Is Blinding Lights an R&B song?

Requoting this one more time so he really understands it.

this was 10 years ago.

you're holding onto comments and statements made by chronically online parasocial losers from 10 years ago.

He just had an R&B hit that is bigger than any song on his new album last year

Also, it’s funny how Blinding Lights is on a total of zero R&B playlists on Apple Music but is still labeled as an R&B song. Definitely shows you how important that genre labeling is!

Did I say he stopped making R&B songs?

Or did I say he hasn’t made an R&B album in over 12 years?

Is Views a dancehall album because it has Controlla on it?

10 years ago i was 16 years old i loved tpab when it dropped but im just thinking of a grown man crying about what a 16 year old nerd said in a forum a decade ago

So he has continued to make R&B music the last 12 years, but he cannot be considered in the R&B world

when i first heard tupac talk

We are talking about singular albums. You are now trying to move the goalposts to make the conversation something it never was.

Beauty Behind the Madness is not an R&B album.

Starboy is not an R&B album.

After Hours is not an R&B album.

Dawn FM is not an R&B album.

Hurry Up Tomorrow is not an R&B album.

This does not mean that R&B songs do not exist on these albums.

chronically online parasocial loser posting about what happened 10 years ago on ktt

they woulda called it alternative R&B like some dudes around here tried to with Tommy Richman

man what the f*** is alternative R&B

When Weeknd first came on the scene and he was super mysterious people called him “PBR R&B” or some s*** like that

The argument is consistent. He does various genres.

You: bbbbbb-b-but Blinding Lights

Me: yes, let’s a***yze. His music is labeled R&B (due to having tons of R&B music), and yet he has pure Pop songs. This once again shows the flaw with labeling his entire music one singular genre.

You: bbbbbb-b-but no R&B album

Me: those albums have multiple R&B songs… because again, he spans multiple genres. Even when he primarily does Pop.

You next: bbbbbb-b-but Blinding Lights

it was him and frank ocean

progressive rnb, a new grammy category

Idk why Ihype and the other dude was in here lying

why are we acting like this isnt just first week sales bet thread

like we still do this s*** we literally just had niggas get banned for predicting under 200k for SSS4U

yall wanna be scorned so bad bruh i have never seen a group opf people win so bad and all they wanna do is talk about what niggas did TEN years ago

Wrong again. This conversation started because you said that the commercial performance of $$$4U and Hurry Up Tomorrow should be compared since they are both R&B albums.

Hurry Up Tomorrow is not an R&B album.

He has not released an R&B album in 12 years.

I never said he didn’t still have R&B songs on these albums.
