★ The Weeknd ★ What You Need ★

lol the nerdy-looking teenage girl that lives next door is blasting The Weeknd through the walls

My neighbors are always blasting Black Eyed Peas. I wanna trade neighbors.

my neighbor just talks about the dallas cowboys really loud on the phone

One of my neighbors was blasting Heart the other day and I was like <3<3<3

i will admit that whenever this thread gets revived i always hope something hilarious has happened to this dude

like marry lana del rey?

or like... it turns out he stole all of his songs from someone

the Weeknd track on the 2 Chainz album is painful for me to listen to, do people seriously enjoy this guy's singing

i dont know dude

Not all messages are displayed: show all messages (1918 of them)

i realize he is popular, i'm just saying it boggles my mind

i know, dude

sorry gr80

(1922 of them)

i was saying "do people like this for the vocals" not "do people like this" obv

i know, i'm just having some fun and saying "yah bro we talked about it a little already"

The vocals aren't the reason I like it, but I certainly don't dislike them. Not as good as Miguel, probably about as good as Frank Ocean. I dunno, what about the vocals are ppl hating so much?

:) :) :)

i don't know if there's people besides me, jer, but i just hate the high quavering/sniveling thing

sorry in advance to gr80 again for posting

(: (: (:

there's one track on the new jeremih album ("feel the bass") that sounds like a pretty obvious weeknd rip

man you scared the shit outta me w/ 'new jeremih album'

why are you hating on 'late nights' btw. that tape is front-to-back the shit.

idk maybe i'm just uncomfortable with jeremih so blatantly trend-hopping; he carved out a pretty nice niche for himself and then he goes and puts out this half-rapped BS, idk it just isn't the same jeremih i've loved

rtc has my back on this btw

scared the shit outta me meaning i thought i was even more behind on shit than i knew i was

rtc doesn't like anything except uk bass & dancehall fwiw

he definitely tries out some... trendy sounds on that tape but it still seems pretty idiosyncratic, the whole thing

haha xp

yeah parts of it are nice, i like the one with the phone number or whatever fine, i just want more of the old jeremih. hopefully he and schultz have a classic in them

i like the tape, it's fun to hear him work with different producers and try on some different sounds, but it's definitely more of a stretch for him than say Trey Songz or Miguel's between-album mixtape stuff, also hoping for another Mick Schultz-heavy retail LP

i dont know if ive copped to this yet but i've pretty much done a full 180 on this dude

lol "trilogy"

haha no i want to defend these dudes but i know theres no point, its just irksome. @ some point to i think ppl like lex and deej just need to stop tryna listen to things they dont have the ears/vocabulary/mindset for instead of punishing us w/ their opinions abt

Well, he did almost kinda do that, of course. Old news though:

Anyway, I have no desire to listen to these remasters or the new tracks, which kinda surprises me since I loved HoB when it dropped.

love that the creative genesis of this project is

And I was just like, “Aw, fuck that shit. No man, let’s talk about, fuckin’ and getting too high and trying to fuck bitches and it not working out. Let’s get really grimy about it."

That picture sums up everything. Everything.

BEEN THERE MAN

i love the fucking phone on the floor on the side of the photo lol

whole damn trilogy thing is on Spotify as of this morning fyi (in the UK at least).

is it a copout to name "trilogy" my favourite release of 2012?

that's how much i love these three mixtapes

except the new mastering fucks up "the knowing" :(

you guys think it sounds much different on the new version? haven't checked it out yet.

they just bury the vocals compared to the og version, neutering its epic finale quality, imo, but then again that's my favourite weeknd song so i'm a little protective of it

I could give or take the new mixes, but it's nice hearing these albums again and hearing that they hold up.

Thursday remains really underrated. "The Birds" pt. 1/2 are perfect mid-points for the whole trilogy, and "Gone" is still a great vibe-out jam
