People heard heaven or las vegas and thought he was making rnb

A lot on the tapes were punk / rock

Think about it, when he was primarily an r&b artist? Half the trilogy wasn’t r&b

To answer the topic, this is talked about quite often actually. It’s an unavoidable topic when talking about Frank and Weeknd in general sadly

This requires a re-listen

HOB is a pop project seen as r&b cause it’s sultry and sung by a black guy. Literally only What You Need is the only r&b song

Mandela effect is a hell of a d***

Iyky

R&B was flaccid as hell around that era

The only tape that’s majority r&b imo was EOS

HoB was moody pop music
Thursday was very freeform stuff, heavy rock influenced music
EOS was like the purest r&b of three

Thank you

I can’t believe D Dot is making s***ty post on KTT

He need to go back to eating crayons in middle school

Fr. It’s the only song that would still be considered r&b if a white artist sang it

HOB/Glass Table Girls? High For This? The Morning? The Party and the After Party? The Knowing? Wicked Games? Coming Down? Loft Music?

Alternative pop songs with goth and/or hiphop influence sprinkled in at best. But absolutely not r&b without the context of a black artist attached

This is a fact

Stop trying to put black singers in a R&B box

Yep. If he was a white dude it would’ve been branded as alternative

f***ing incredible song at that mate

Why did race get brought up

I don't know a time when Frank was making like...traditional R&B under his current moniker. Always seemed like pop/alt-pop to me.

Weeknd being an artist, covering various genres

Y’all just come on here & say anything

what was that debut album called again?

niggas just can't sing no mo
