OUT OF CONTROL.

He wasn't

Weeknd killed the beginning and end of Crew Love. Drake was just there.

 

[QU!K]

He really wasn't needed, it's documented that drake just hopped on it and stole it for his album

 

[lovehateself]

Fallon performance was masterful.

yes it was.

earned it, should really be the title track for the flick...but im sure beyonce aint having it

dont really care if xo collabs with ovo again. itd be cool but its not necessary 

weeknd at ovo fest though, must see

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The extremes going on 

If they can tap into the Zone type tracks, I think Drake can fit in fine. I didn't think his verse on that song was out of place at all, I thought it fit in rather well (sound wise, flow and content)

Every OVOXO song has definitely been Weeknd Ft. Drake, doe. That's no argument and let me know if you disagree 

 

Weeknd has never been featured on any collab track with any artist, dude always commands top billing

Let me ask yall this, if you heard kissland as the first Abel project you telling me yall would still like him as much right off the jump? Keep it 100

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Nope

I always say Trilogy, for its sound and content was just the perfect storm for the timing of when it was released. Especially HOB. The tape that started it all, I think it touched a lot of young people 18-24 who were going through the same types of things with drugs/partying/females in a way that's never been seen. Ever

As far as Kiss Land goes, there is absolutely no reason to slander it IMO. It's a work of art as well but if absorbed onto a brand new palate, it simply does not have the same effect and impact as if it were absorbed onto a palate already familiar with his story and sound

Type of question is that?


KissLand is 10x better than what's out now in R&B. I would be thinking "This dudes writing, singing and production is great can't wait to hear more".

I viewed the question posed as 

If you heard HOB first would you like him more or less than if you heard KL first

But yes, I agree with your thought in that I would think: "This guy's sound is special, whatever he cooks up next could be major" if I had heard KL first

 

[delete1234]

How is that not a valid question

I get what you saying Vincent...I know straight up if kissland was the first weeknd project I heard I would **** with his stuff but the anticipation for his next project wouldn't be as high as it was when I was waiting for kissland. If someone asked me about the weekend I would prolly be like "oh yeah that ***** cool..." And not "BRUH...you gotta listen to ____"

I don't listen to much rb in general

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I don't listen to much rb in general

That's probably why you don't like it KissLand as much. Compared to his other stuff it's his most traditional R&B project while still doing him.

 

[delete1234]

Now that I can agree on. It does sound more RNBish where as everything else is damn near alternative.

The weeknd was prolly the first non hiphop album I liked this much tbh...Miguel's CDs are fire imo though

man how i hate seeing "ovoxo" in twitter and ig handles....

 

[P A Z]

2011 was the best year to be a Weeknd fan. The obsession w/ HoB, the Thursday thirst, and the EoS that came out close to Christmas to close out the year. You'd be surprised at how many people don't know why the first album is called "Trilogy".
