Frank makes better music in almost every way at this point. Weeknd has gone completely stagnant in the worst way.

kendrick album confirmed coming never

That's a good release date. Can really capitalize on the market then.

 

[IrishNinja]

i know channel orange wasn't for everyone, but i havne't heard anything from the weekend on that level

frank isn't (to my knowledge) a shit excuse for a human being though

wait what's the story on this, what did abel do that i missed

That recent cover was especially terrible.

just so we're clear, you're saying this song right here is especially terrible

the enzo rule is is an awful thing to invoke, so i want to be 100 before citing it fam

Jesus Christ Fiddy, LMAO
Did this happen recently?

The Weeknd makes the same song over and over again and still hasn't topped his first tape. Frank Ocean >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Abel

Frank Ocean >>>>> Weeknd

Absolutely disgusting. I'll give you a half-pass if all you've heard is Nostalgia, Ultra, but even half of that was him going over other people's jams. When he was left to his own devices he put out perhaps one of the most boring debut albums ever. It's like the entire budget went into Pyramids and then he threw some shitty Lonny Breaux grade stuff onto there. For someone that's a pretty good writer he has a pretty hard time making good songs while Abel is out here "making the same song over and over again" yet still being so much more interesting every time than Frank making a different, forgettable song over and over again.

Its extra sus when the notion is more than just him being perceived as a better singer too.

 

[CRS]

Why not both?

 

[enzo_gt]

Why not both?

I like Frank too, he's just perpetually disappointing and his moments of brilliance are so few and far inbetween. Granted, part of that is his management fucking him over, but yeah.

 

[Detox]

Asap don't want it with 50s goons. 50 just told him there's levels to do this shit and he apologised.

 

[codhand]

asap's twitter game is pretty date rapey

He types like a 4chan stereotype of a Redditor.

how did his mgmt fuck him over?

 

[HiResDes]

If you think the closest analogue to Frank is the Weeknd you should probably listen to more music. I've come to realize how silly of a comparison it is. Young Thug or Scarface, who's better?

 

[Courage]

Yeah, I thought we discussed this before too. Weeknd is more about the atmosphere and singing, Ocean is more of a songwriter/lyricist.

 

[Nibel]

I think those two are often compared because they kinda blew up at the similar time and are from the same 'generation' if you will so.

In the end, both are talented as hell and will hopefully release some new stuff this year.

 

[mooooose]

yeah its not a real comparison lol theyre completely different but the convo comes up because at the time they were the two biggest people popping

I'm hyped for Big Sean's album he's been killing it

it's cause they're the nas/jay-z of this new rnb generation. really dont have much in common on wax but the comparisons will still flow cause yeah.

 

[BeatResetsTheWorld]

Frank Ocean might be more talented than the Weeknd but he isn't better. Weeknd puts out jams.

Weeknd puts out sleepers, and I don't mean sleeper hits, I mean shit that literally puts you to sleep

they gon get this work enzo

There's a big difference between making songs fitting a certain theme and making "the same song" over again and again. I would definitely argue The Weeknd does the former, not the latter. I don't even know how people can say that lol just listen to what's actually being said in the lyrics nahmean
I do however like them both. But Frank needs to put some new music out.

kendrick album confirmed coming never

until that tweet reads "85% invitations sent out to the Badu wedding reception" then you know the album is coming out no problem
Also I still maintain all these tweets are actually about Jay Rock's album

If you think the closest analogue to Frank is the Weeknd you should probably listen to more music. I've come to realize how silly of a comparison it is. Young Thug or Scarface, who's better?

if you're saying it's foolish to compare ill agree with that part...my disagreement mostly lies with saying The Weeknd "makes the same songs"; he simply doesn't.

Young Thug or Scarface, who's better?

it's a close call but i'm gonna go with Scarface here
I think Young Thug has a Diary in him but we've just not heard it yet nahmean

Let him take his time. People wanting artists to rush their product are insane.

 

[Esch]

Yeah that's a bit of an insulting comparison really. Young Thug is okay for what he is but generally isn't fit to sniff Scarface's farts.

Well we have to argue about relevant and passionate topics. You know GAF-Hop isn't an R&B sub forum, we know no better.

Yo someone please explain to me what Future is doing on this Mike Will/The Weeknd song? My dude at no point even began to try to start to get ready to attempt to stay on beat.

The original song was Swae Lee and Future off the Ransom album. What The Weeknd has done is sang his hook and verse at the start of the song, the rest of the song is the same as the album.

bless espn for dropping the lakers/knicks game to showcase french montana bowling

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

OH-MY-GOSH!
My girl Akua Naru has just dropped a new single and announced a new album. Out of all the artists I had miss in the past years, Akua Naru was the number one. The Journey Aflame and Live & Aflame Sessions were so motherfucking damn good! I felt that she wasn't going to drop anything else. She was going to be like Lauryn Hill, give us that jewel and did a little songs here and there, but never putting out an album again, but it looks like Akua is going to do it.

Akua Naru - Heard - The Miner's Canary


This track is hot fire. Now I know that some shit could go down in her life and the album will never come out, but oh lordy, I really hope so. I really really do. That would be too much of a disappointment if it doesn't happen. I loved "Best Friends" she did with Shuko on the Amy Winehouse tribute album and will hopefully love this new album whenever it comes. I need to get that Akua Naru shirt before it drops.
