better vocalist than both too

Frank doesn’t even make music anymore sis

It’s so funny how people not from the US get so pressed whenever race gets brought up

It’s really revealing

Explain yourself more, I’m very interested with what you have to say

You delusionally think because you don’t live in the US that we somehow live in a post racial society where “race doesn’t matter” despite whatever country you’re in being just as f***ing s***ty

I respect you caring so much, should have cared more about your homie tho

Are Frank and Abel the only R&B artists this site knows

Frank was always kinda his own genre tbh

Not much to be talked about tbh

You know what…now that I think about it. Was these guys ever really “R&B”? Or they just got put in that category

After re-listening, im surprised I remember it as solely an r&b album

This also begs The question, do you consider his Kissland to be r&b

Don’t worry it isn’t just you. We’re all conditioned to see “black and sung non-dance music = r&b”

Kissland is 100% pop

The most consistently r&b thing about pre-BBTM Weeknd is that some of the drum rhythms vaguely resemble mid-late 90s r&b drum rhythms lol

if they didn’t they wouldn’t have the demographic they have as their fan base

lol one of his first big songs was him singing over The Eagles

I'm surprised y'all to managed force a few pages of race discussion into this thread more than anything. I hate y'all mothafuckers so much man.

Besides PND, yeah

There’s def a lot of R&B and Pop in their music but they also experiment allot both of Em

Secondary genres like alternative, indie rock, electronic, new wave….maybe a dash of jazz

whatever their brand of r&b was was lame anyways

bring back the singers that can really SING

Facts

hmm I understand where your coming from but they both never exclusively never catered to black audiences or R&B. This does happen often, Usher and maybe Neyo are better examplesI can think of off the top of my head. Where they gained a following from a black crowd and experimented and released music that abandoned their fanbasee.

says alot about KTT

it's a damn shame!
