Stop comparing this nikka to MJ. This guy would chop his arm off to have an album as good as MJs worse. BBTM was ok, a solid 6-7 album nothing more.
Yall keep trying to put the Weeknd on a pedestal, as if he's much more talented than his peers when the truth is he's a notch or two below the likes of Frank and Miquel, just facts. The Weeknd peaked on House of Ballons, it's been a steady climb down hill since then.
first of all... Mad Max?
And Doc never copied Zodiac. He had a hand in most of HoB and all of Thursday... You're not fukking with those productions?
Mad max aka max Martin. Check his production credits he is the king of bubblegum pop. Did most of backstreet boys back in days, Britney Spears and now huge hits by Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.
2nd of all Zodiac created the weeknd moniker, style and sound period. Every1 knows this. Abel was singing pure pop tunes before Zodiac gave em his steez. Once OVO and weeknd pushed out Zodiac n never paid him to this day they hired Doc and illangelo to rework the original HoB and then mimicked that style to complete trilogy. They did a great job at it too, but I gotta give praise to Zodiac da OG of it all. And I still like his original versions of some of the earlier work.
Have a read from the OG producer of How and the creator of the weeknd.
