The Weeknd Thread ( "Hurry Up Tomorrow" Coming Soon)

[grandtheftbike]

Thursday > KL > EOS > HOB for me.. I know that is very unpopular opinion among Weeknd fans :shrugs

Thursday > KL > HOB > EOS for me

Thursday just gets better with time imo

 

[awwsome]

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

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

 

[Maximus Meridius]

It's still hard for me to rank 'em. HOB is a 10 then Thurday, EOS and KissLand are 9's.

 

[a blinkin]

We do the ranking every three months

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.

 

[grandtheftbike]

i'm positive i change my rankings every time it gets mentioned but EOS has been a consistent #4 :\

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.

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

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

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 ain't got no dreads bro.

And when you sleep on them they look like dreads. Tf?

 

[a blinkin]

Bruh those are dreads. Probably done up with aloe.

 

[awwsome]

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.

 

[a blinkin]

I stand corrected.

I never really examined his hair before. It does resemble Basquiat's doe.

 

[niquefreak94]

How you "never examined his hair" but quickly told me "bro those are dreads" ? you dudes man.

 

[a blinkin]

You're right bruh

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Weeknd ain't got no dreads bro.

And when you sleep on them they look like dreads. Tf?

Whatever they are

I just meant that when you sleep on that thing does it get messy or is it just stuck together pretty firmly. Thing looks disgusting

Thursday > KL > HOB > EOS for me

That's the way I have it as well.

I think I have the unpopular opinion when I say Drake's verse on "Live For" makes the song good .

 

[ice city fc]

Man this thread fell all the way the fck off


Jk

 

[Jumanji]

KL>EOS>HOB> Thursday

 

[ice city fc]

It's that time of the month again isn't it?

HOB = KL > EOS > Thursday

Pretty sure that's unchanged from last time.

 

[grandtheftbike]

KL>EOS>HOB> Thursday

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

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>

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

and repped.

 

[shoeking2101]

EOS > KL > HOB > Thursday

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?

 

[meek meals]

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?​
