    lol Weeknd trilogy sound the Toronto Rnb sound. Let’s give the proper credit.

    No, illangelo and doc mckinney did that for the weekend. As soon as he went pop he ditched them

    Toronto RNB is an off shoot 808s sound, that 40 used as the basis of the sound he’s so popular for. Weeknds production team had a impact but not early as much as someone like pnd

    How y’all call it an R&B album when it barely has any rb and most of the album is Drake

    There is no real singing, no melodies, no harmonizing, no layered background vocals etc

    Just lazy thugger rap/sung imitation vibe music about prostitutes and strippers.

    i guess this is Toronto's version of R&B

    You could make the argument that 40 and SFG pioneered it. That moody underwater music

    Is Weeknds album counted as an rnb album? Or is it not cuz it doesn’t fit the “rnb albums don’t sell” narrative

    It's listed as R&B cause he's black but it's a mixed bag
    And it sold well because of months of physicals stacking to be shipped on first week

    250k damn significantly more than expected

    the weeknd didnt pioneer this toronto r&b sound, but he 100% pioneered a new genre of r&b that pretty much every single r&b artist that came out in early 2010's copied

    plus, i believe doc and illangelo were involved up until after hours
