Also, "hey abel, quit wanking to Jennifer Lawrence's magazine, soon there won't be no need. I don't wanna spoil it for you, but 10 years from now you'll have fornicated with Bella Hadid, Selena Gomez, and a dozed or two of the girls from the Victoria's Secret 2016 runway in Paris and 2015 in New York, to mention few lmao"
Ahem, also you derail a little and sell out, compromising your art and where you could be if you evolved your songwriting constantly, all this cause resisting the temptation to attain mammon is something that requires very strong character, morals and strong self-respect, strong willpower to never quit pushing the bar to be better, to surpass your peers and most importanly surpass yourself, unfortunately this was too much for you.
But nevertheless, later on the road you kinda make attempts to recover, and come back to the right road, so there's that too. Also future you is gonna lose the files/hard drive of My Favourite One Night Stand, so make sure you don't lose it. Or if you do, no big deal, you still have the vocals. Right? ..... Right...?Abel's lust for white women
Classic

Holy s***, having him perform at a period where only the mixtapes were the extent of his discography would feel surreal!
In such an enclosed and intimate setting

vmvargaIf the casual audience wasn’t into him why was it considered a flop?
How can you follow up trilogy and not flop.. tough and drake stimulus was very much a thing.. first few tracks came out before being posted on the OVO blog and no one really cared tbh

Kiss Land is to Trilogy what Dawn FM is to After Hours

Nah it’s the Ariana song in terms of actual mainstream attention. Crew Love was a big placement but it wasn’t being played on the radio 24/7 like that song.

Not even comparable or close 😂
Jul 22, 2022Don Makavelihe was popular with people who were super into hip hop/r and b but not white suburban moms yet
The amount of white suburban moms at this tour is insane

TheEPSDKiss Land is still so misunderstood. Truly his best project imo.
That's what I'm saying. It's his best behind the mixtapes

I tried my hardest to not make the joke, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of it
Jul 6Back then it felt like you could make a decent living as a niche artist
Like toro y moi is someone i think of that probably wasnt rich at that time but seemed like he had a nice lane not having to work a job being his own unique artist
Weeknd was like a level or three above that because he was getting rap industry features

FredVanYeetit was but Live For was not received well and did not get a lot of airplay.
I think he gave a lot of his best songs away for Take Care and after the 3 GOAT mixtapes Kissland wasn't really popular.
For reference about 8 months or so before Kissland came out I saw The Weeknd at my uni for $20
He didn't blow up until the 50 shades of grey movie and he made Earned It
u literally saw him at the GOATED era
