LuckyLefty93He dropped the ball on Climax by being resentful.. Shoulda remixed the song with his signature sound at the time and capitalised on the moment.
Climax was a big hit and the Weeknd influence was obvious.
Nah, then ppl would be saying he was copying usher and he would be bigger mad

JMCthe response bc of what he said about climax is why he doesn’t do interviews lol
So basically because he’s an idiot?
Happy for him tho. This might be his first classic since trilogy.

BlackStar"“I heard ‘Climax,’ that 2012 Usher song, and was like, ‘Holy f—, that’s a Weeknd song.’ It was very flattering, and I knew I was doing something right, but I also got angry. But the older I got, I realized it’s a good thing.” (Usher declined to comment for this story.)"

Apr 9, 2020·1 replyThat story about Usher is getting out of hand. I'm seeing that s*** everywhere. Abel ain't even wrong. So many artist bit his sound after trilogy he's just giving on example that stuck out to him.

i mean rolling stone acknowleged back in 2015 that climax is basically a diet weeknd song but more radio friendly,
moreover, if you go to the climax wiki page and ctrl + f and type the weeknd there's like 6 results, all of them in reviews

This would've been cool but he was still trying to be mysterious at that time and wasn't remixing other artists songs yet

Apr 9, 2020·1 replyMaybe The Weeknd was mad about Usher because he did not get credit? I mean Usher is a legend for some years now and The Weeknd still had a long way to go back in 2012+.
Never really thought about him copying The Weeknd but if I’m being honest it does not sound like any other Usher song in my opinion so I can see the point.

I'm almost certain that's what he meant. No way in hell anyone would say there's no deeper meaning to MJ and Prince songs lmao

Yeah rereading that's what he meant 100%.People just wanna look deeper lol
Apr 9, 2020·editeddeeper as in the track has a deeper meaning to it
kind of like how Prince's Cream sounds like another dime-a-dozen Prince s***song but in reality it's a self-empowerment/self-improvement anthem
Apr 10, 2020·1 replyUber ShooterOne of my favorite songs on the tape, but that bridge before the xan line really takes me out. F*** outta here wit that Catholic Church bullshit.
Best part of the song
