So tomorrow marks 5 years since House of Balloons was released, 21st March 2011.


To this day it's still and I don't think it's been matched by anyone, including The Weeknd. I was and still am fascinated by the sound and feel of the mixtape. I remember when it was out I found the artwork interesting, the guys name and the mystery behind him, then I listened to the tape...

That beat switch on House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls

Wicked Games

The Knowing, what a closer

Not a weak track on the mixtape, I'll be giving it a few spins tonight

Great review. This mixtape was the soundtrack of my life as a 24 year old spending half my time between NJ/NY/ and LA dating girls from T Dot.

I felt like I had one up on everything.

This whole CD just got the girls in the mood. I was that niggy simply because I was up on the weeknd long before everyone else was.literaly putting this cd on blast while driving in the holland tunnel.


Only real brehs can remember the feeling.

Great thread.

I was describing him to my friends as a hybrid between The Dream-Drake-and Cudi

He already surpassed 2 of the 3

 

[NvrCMyNut]

I heard it the first day it dropped. I literally had the face on all day. Just pure greatness. Them hunger pangs had my dawg in the lab making blue meth in audio form.

This is where it all started... The album that changed everything .... Here's a quick gem for everybody in here that I recently discovered. Here's a link to ALL of the OFFICIAL House of Balloons instrumentals (as well as Thursday & EOS). Since I discovered this channel, I like to listen to the instrumentals and wonder how in the hell did he even start to write to this shyt.



I'm about to get into......... My zone.....
