Can we finally acknowledge that The Weeknd is the Prince of our time

[DJDONTNOBODYPAYME]

Prince is one of the greatest musicians in human history. Weeknd is a homeless Canadian who doesn't play an instrument or compose music and only sounds good singing because of studio wizardry.

I wish I could neg the OP 10,000 times. He deserves a malcolmxxx45/king karim type neg train for this dumb shyt.

You crazy. The Weeknd sings good live and so what he doesn't play an Instrument. R. Kelly doesn't play Heavy Metal.....

Prince wrote and produced a lot of his own music. That's not to mention that he also plays multiple instruments. If you're arguing subject matter/content, there are some parallels, but if you're talking about what they bring to music artistically, there's nothing that makes this a valid comparison.

That's all I'm talking about is the parallels. And frankly that's all that matters in his case. Alot of Artists are similar to each other. But he embodies another type of caliber of artist in a special way that it superceeds all else until Otherwise or Better is proven

Prince was the team. That's the difference maker. How many instruments can dude play?

Objected. That's besides the fact

MJ never had Dreads

When did Prince have dreads?

Don't try to use your knowledge of history to try to appear smarter than you are. You sound smart to a dumbass but I see right thru it.

Michael Jackson was about being in love and being happy and having something positive going on. He was "the light"

Whereas Prince represents "the dark". He sung about drugs, orgies, masturbation, and made party records not just for the Pop World but for The Hood. And so did Mike, but Prince was a Secks Symbol with it.


If The Weeknd remade a Prince record he'd probably do it justice. I'm sure he's tried to but Rogers don't be leasing his music out like that

You know what breh? do you.



I get nothing out of this.

That was a double entendre. I already knew that shyt was fly

I'm not even going to dignify this thread with another response. All I'm going to say is do some research on Prince and learn about why he is one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. Learn about how he was literally a one man band since he was a teenager who wrote, composed, and performed thousands of songs, often playing all the instruments. Listen to his music and learn about how he could go from pop to disco to R&B to jazz to rock n roll to funk to soul and do it innovatively, not just mimicking already established blueprints. Then get into his classic, groundbreaking albums like 1999, Purple Rain, and Sign of the Times that sounded like nothing that came before them.

Maybe watch this doc.

Then download...

Then come back and delete this disrespectful, insipid, blasphemous ass thead and issue a formal apology.

There's parallels in subject matter/content. Weeknd is nowhere near the caliber of artist that Prince is. The fact that you're talking about his songwriters and producers doesn't put Weeknd in a special class either. That's your average run of the mill popular singer. Special artists excel regardless of who is producing or writing the songs.
