real ogs know the-dream was doing the same s*** The Weeknd started doing, except The Weeknd has a way better voice.

KING TORY SAMPLED THE GOAT

On his period?

I think the weekend is in a different lane. it's be more accurate I think to say James blake because of the etherealness, but I can't hate this take.

THAT NIGGA DREAM GOT SLAPPERS

let's type the guy's name right first ok bud

eat my poop doodoo head

Michael Jackson birthed all of them

facts
idk why people never give the-dream credit for anything
he influenced 808's and heartbreak too

Love vs. Money out now!!

Facts. His early sound, his voice (plus MJ of course), him starting out writing reference tracks for other artists (Noise EP), and even down to his name. They even had twitter beef about it where The Weeknd called The Dream a hamburglurar lookin ass nigga
pitchfork.com/news/45734-the-weeknd-and-the-dream-beef-on-twitter

Who?

The-dream started the whole 6+ minute long songs, that didn’t follow the same verse chorus verse structure

The-dream even called him out on “form of flattery” which was released a week after Thursday came out

The song Fancy birthed The Weeknd lmao

no bro the weeknd invented singing about d**** and emo s*** bro

Bro Michael Jackson who XDDDD

I’m rolling

I’ll give you that! He did start the whole d***gy/emo vibe but everything else was adapted by the-dream

I've always seen The Weeknd as sort of a combination of Kid Cudi emo/druggy vibes and The-Dream musically, with some of his own stuff in there. Was The-Dream ever doing any of that shoegaze/dream-poppy type stuff outside of Fancy? I haven't listened to him in forever

Yeah bro he was! he had so many songs on the lines of party and the after party and hob/glass table girls

He had:

fancy (cult classic)
February love (very similar to Fancy)
Mr. yeah
Priceless
Cry
Abyss

And a lot of un released tracks like cry that i can’t think off. I literally became a Weeknd fan because I considered him a better upgraded version of The-dream. The Weeknd was definitely more darker and interesting lyrics wise tho for sure

the-dream is an underappreciated legend of our era and influenced so many artists
