The internet also was in shambles over Miguel publicly saying he’s better than Frank. Add that “jealous of Frank” perception with the leg drop as things that have been uphill battles for him. Miguel IMO is still the overall king of R&B this era in terms of vocal ability, quality of projects, and having hit records for himself and others. Also since The Weeknd transitioned to pop plus Frank has never repped being R&B and Channel Orange was his last R&B sounding project
Miguel to this day:

He’s significantly better and justified in saying so. Imagine not knowing Chris Brown has been king of R&B after Usher though.
Also real ones rank Wildheart ahead of Kaleidoscope, both classic tho
Naaahhhhhh
I got hella pushback for mentioning Miguel in that "Frank vs Weeknd" thread and mentioning he outperformed them as an R&B artist during when all 3 and Alt-R&B/Neo-Soul were all huge.
Those are mostly white kids and people who just discovered R&B last decade. They don't know any better.
I think Kaleidoscope Dream was the last physical I ever bought
Legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy. Black excellency, baby, let em see.
Miguel has no misses in his discography while The Weeknd got two. Frank got the love of art hoes and takes advantage of his fan base by cucking them frequently.
Miguel just provides outstanding music without all the extra "elusive artist" bullshit, and to me, it's appreciated.
If we're gonna compare Miguel to Frank and Weeknd...Something about him doesn't "grab" me like Frank and Weeknd
But his style isn't for me and it isn't appealing enough for me to have to listen to his bodies of work.
great artist
love KD and Wildheart
not as much W&L but still a good project. hyped for his next one

So like I said, Miguel makes outstanding music without the extra ass "elusive artist" bullshit.

People are suckers for that stupid s***. KTT is the perfect example
Do Miguel, Ro James and BJ the Chicago Kid make music for a different demographic to Frank Ocean and The Weeknd?
If yes, who is that demographic? If not, where is the overlap?

Only people who are really passionate about music know Miguel, Ro James, BJ, Lucky Daye, Pj Morton.
People who pretend to know music like Frank and The Weeknd. Mostly suburban white kids. I say this as a former white suburban kid who liked both until I realized they aren’t nearly as good as the aforementioned artists

Nah after awhile you get sick of it lmao ESPECIALLY with how Frank goes with it.
Like I won't stop an artist from doing what they wanna do, but I ain't interested in it, and I'm not about to let these niggas play about s*** that I ordered. Gave you my money stop f***in around with what I ordered.

Really?
Hmm. I thought people who grew up around Church / Sunday Service and/or Gospel music would naturally gravitate towards PJ and BJ.
And maybe I was incorrect in grouping Miguel with them.
Kaleidoscope Dream is better than any Frank album
Scorching hot take
