The Weeknd Signs With Universal Republic + Trilogy November 13th!

[thernbroom]

lol some of ya'll are some greedy muthafukkas complaining about this

you realize he dropped 3 album-quality mixtapes for FREE in ONE year? let the man take his time to drop something new

problem with music right now is the focus on quantity over quality and the fans who desire instant gratification aint helping. ya'll want him to rush out some new music but would be quick to shyt on it if it aint up to par with his normal stuff

 

[Drew Wonder]

it never fails...them mothafukas can fukk up a wet dream...

every "great artist" has seen a demise in their "art" do to the exploitive commercial intrests of major record labels.....

it would be great if they could just keep THE WEEKND in his pure mixtape/live show form instead of him doing a feature with every "hot artist" on the radio...

i don't wanna see CHIEF KEEF featuring the WEEKND or the WEEKND forthcoming lp featuring appearances by the "usual suspects" DJ KHALED, 2CHAINZ, GUCCI MANE, NIKKI MINAJ , LIL WAYNE, , KANYE and everybody's favorite "track crasher" BUSTA RHYMES...

well it was nice knowing and appreciating the WEEKND prior to his major label debut

Crew Love proved he could go the commercial route without compromising his sound

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Say brehs,anyone wanna point me in the direction for lanks for his three albums? Never listened to him before.

Because he was basically working with "family"..Drake has worked with Weeknd and knows how to craft music around his style... to maintain his purity...

that's what made "CREW LOVE" a great record

it's that OTHER ISH i'm worried about...the contrived features and awkward collabos that these HOE ASS RECORD LABELS are known for doing....

Then we'll be making threads within a year talking about..




"WTF is going on with WEEKND....he lame as fukk..blah blah blah"

The Weeknd - Thursday - NoDJ

The Weeknd - Echoes Of Silence - NoDJ

The Weeknd - House Of Balloons - NoDJ

there ya go..

 

[MrPentatonic]

I'm pretty sure its a distribution deal for the trilogy, which is a smart move. There is still alot of money he can make independant.

 

[Drew Wonder]

THIS nikka SOUNDS TERRIBLE LIVE!

All he does is moan for like 45minutes

Abel we off that

JMSN>>>WEEKND

you realize homie sounded like this 2 years ago right?



then the Weeknd gets some buzz and all of a sudden he gets a new name and new sound complete with the artistic vowel drops (weeknd=weekend, jmsn=jameson) dark depressing lyrics, trip hoppy beats and heavy echo



its the most blatant example of biting I've seen in recent years. the fact that you fukk with Jmsn yet hate the Weeknd proves it has nothing to do with the music for you (since it sounds exactly the same) and has everything to do with the fact that you're still butthurt over nyggas clowning you for counting the number of times they played Drake at the club (we didn't forget nygga)

[Y2Dre]

House of Balloons was great, but everything since then has been hit or miss. Thursday was pretty bad and Echoes was just ok.

Wrong. All 3 are classics.

 

[killacal]

Y'all nikkas ain't listening to his lyrics if you think echoes is wack. It's better then house of balloons in my opinion. Not as catchy but has way more depth.

 

[flea]

im seeing him perform live next month. lets see if he's as bad live as people say he is. i got a feeling nikkas is basing they opinion on youtube videos because it's clear the majority of u losers dont leave the house.

Man shut the fukk up.

Whats wrong with him doing music with other artist and trying to increase his fanbase

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

im seeing him perform live next month. lets see if he's as bad live as people say he is. .

i agree..but either way..he gonna HAVE TO BE GREAT LIVE!!!...because that "A$$ Pirate" Frank Ocean did a damn good job at the MTV awards...

and for the past few years since the SOHH days, people have been pitting THE WEEKND vs. FRANK OCEAN

The Weeknd Announces Official Release of Mixtape Trilogy, Teams With Universal Republic | News | Pitchfork

The joint venture between Republic Records and the Canada-based XO sees The Weeknd's vision preserved and magnified on a much larger scale. The XO initiative has grown from a small collective-- with roots based in the metropolitan streets of Toronto-- to a marquee business partner, and it will only evolve further within this structure.
