Also would the music have stayed raw?

I feel if Abel stayed on OVO he wouldnt be as big and successful as he is.

But his music would of remained raw and been better, because he wouldnt have the worry of becoming the biggest in the world or a popstar.

He prolly would of stayed on that Kissland route.

Things that make you go hmmm

He would've ended up like PND..

this means a lot of potential which is not fully used and a lot of mediocre output besides not having commercial success

Nah he would of always been bigger than PND.

He was already bigger than PND and causing pandemonium when he was just dropping the tapes

wouldn't be a superstar, probably just writing hooks and doing background vocals for drake

Trapped in the OVO sweatshop

Prob the ye to drakes hov

He wouldn’t have 1/10th of the career/success he has

Weeknds music was too good for him to not blow up he couldve been signed to wack100 and wouldve still blown up.

Would the music have been better or worse tho?

Don’t think it would’ve changed, if anything drake would’ve taken a handful of the best songs for himself

Sum rich dudes would help him get out the deal

It looks totally different but because he wouldn’t have been brought to Max Martin through Republic after Kissland

He’d be a junkie with no career momentum whatsoever

as someone who enjoys the career trajectory of weeknd post trilogy it’d truly be the biggest waste of talent to have him be Drake’s weed carrier making increasingly worse versions of Kiss Land (that OVO would barely promote) and having Drake be the Cell to his Android and sap life out of him whenever he needs a feature or inspiration for an album

glad it never happened

Abel had the vision from the start

Drake would have more hits and he would have a fraction of the ones he does now

Better

Niggas thinking he would be like Party, not knowing Party the reason and is perfectly fine with his career

Also Party > The Weeknd

Ilovemakonnen would’ve became The Weeknd
