The Weeknd is clearly the superior artist in 2020, but was he always better? Yeah Frank had his time in 2016 and 2017 but Abel was better in 2011 and better in 2020. Does that mean he was always better? Sure he decided to go the pop route but that’s his choice.

I really think Abel was always the better artist just chose a different path.

surely people will engage in civilized discussion itt

F*** you

How are people starting this up again with the album not even being out??? Lmao

Imagine thinking weeknd is in any way better than frank

Obvious troll thread

COME ON OP, BLONDE BY ITSELF BEATS WEEKND’S WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY AND YOU KNOW IT

Frank Ocean much better

Frank is generally the better artist but he doesn't have a project as good as My Dear Melancholy

Weeknd is better than Frank imo but Weeknd has a much larger body of work and is more commercial so idk why this is a thread tbh

Frank is a better writer

Weeknd don’t really write that much

So ima go with frank as a better artist and weekend is better at commercial pop music

Deplorable thread. Truly contestable.

Hard to compare

Both are goats and Im glad we get to witness them both co-exist while making beautiful music

HOB is better than anything Franks released tho

used to f*** with frank but his weird ass fanbase, general pretentiousness and all the forced praise made me lose interest. not to say he isn't talented, but his music after channel orange just doesn't appeal to me.

Blonde
channel ORANGE
Thursday
Endless
House Of Balloons
Echoes of Silence

75% of The Weeknd Tracks are written by Belly or Nav he no different than Post Malone in pop star standards.

Frank 95% written by him with very little help

What recent outputs has navraj written my brother

Mostly Belly, NAV is way more involved in the production

eh. it's arguable that frank would be just as big if not bigger if he actually tried to work with other artists, went on tours, and dropped an album at least every two years

you really can't compare them tho. they aim to do different things

can we wait for Frank to drop

I don’t doubt it

He was always better. Frank is great for pseudo artistic losers desperately looking for an artist to frame their personality around tho

frank probably isn't even dropping for several months if he even decides to release an album this year
