HOB > Thursday > KL (Only cause title track/Adaptation) > EOS.

& that's crazy because I still play EOS more than most albums.

We do the ranking every three months :rofl:

Dude needs to give us some ******* material. All that **** he said in the complex article about creating new songs effortlessly. Give a ***** an EP or something.
 
KL > Thursday > EOS > HOB.

I've been playing all of them religiously in the last two months, and am now considering paying more than I should for quality seats at his BK show in a few weeks. :smh:

Have listened to his mixtapes back in the day when he first released them. Immediately was a fan. The weeknd is better than party in my opinion. He's got some weird hair thing going on tho
 
When you sleep on dreads... like, how does that **** look in the morning? Dreads creep me the hell out, especially when it gets to the point the Weeknd has them in

Weeknd hair is some Ethiopian religious ****. He never got dreads, look at Basquiat's hair and you'll see what happen with Weeknd's.


He just let the **** grow uninterrupted.
 
It's that time of the month again isn't it? :lol:

HOB = KL > EOS > Thursday

Pretty sure that's unchanged from last time.

There is no right answer in ranking the man's music

It's all classic, we've all listened to each project with different things going on in our lives, at different moments in our lives, single or not single. It all makes a difference in how we value each project

Not gonna hate on a dude saying Thursday> or KL>
 
A new snippet dropped and I posted new info, yet you ___s are in here talking about Abel's freeform locks and doing the bi-weekly rankings? :lol: :smh:

my biggest reason for even liking abel is his beat selection.

i'm into deep, dark, cinematic beats tho...

take a track like "the zone" for instance... so dark, haunting, and different... never really heard an "R&B" artist go in on beats that abstract b4...

i also like the fact that it was his first track where he featured a big artist, and drake's verse don't even start until more than 5 minutes into the song...

so money.

cuz it's putting music first (not making music obvious and formulated to have mass appeal, but just making deep stuff the artist is just really feeling, simple as that)...

there's this new wave of "alternative R&B" that i am only messing with cuz the beats are so dark and different.

a lot of these beats remind me of downtempo / trip hop (a sort of lost genre now)... i have a healthy collection of that stuff dating back to the early 90's, on both vinyl, cd, and mp3, and while it's mostly an instrumental style of music, it's more artistic than your average beats which usually are lacking due to their purpose of remaining simple so to play the back drop for a rapper / singer's voice and ego to flex... the music itself says more to you than any voice or lyrics can some times...

but hearing good singers from this new wave of artists being able to go in on deep beats like these, well, it's music to my ears...

having recently discovered majid jordan's 2 EP's, i'd love to hear abel on some of their beats... that "tea & coffee" joint from their first EP is one of the best songs i've heard in a long time...

can you put me on to some of this downtempo/trip hop stuff spanning all the way back to the 90's if you don't mind?​
