    If you still think Trilogy is Abel’s best work in the year 2023, you don’t like music, you just like who you were at the time you discovered those mixtapes

    Kiss Land and After Hours are the only projects Abel conceived that can be mentioned in the same breathe as Trilogy.

    Dawn FM is immaculate but a tier below. MDM too.

    Billboard metrics are flawed. Chart runs have been inflated since the pandemic started. Blinding lights isn’t even the longest charting song in history anymore, it broke the record, then had its record broken the very next year by heat waves

    Radio inflated the success of Blinding Lights on the Hot 100. To show you how much radio inflates s***, Anti-Hero/Unholy are battling to go #1 next week because they're both high on radio. The most consumed song of the week on streaming is Kill Bill but it doesn't have radio yet so no #1 placement for it.

    Heat Waves might also reenter the Hot 100 next week because of radio lmao.

    Radio is also why Big Energy spent so much time in the top 10.

    It is a harsh statement but there’s truth to it. As a songwriter, he’s so much better. The music is better produced and the themes are stronger. Trilogy is still fire but as an artist, Abel is so much better.

  • shaleirose

    Because it’s a tired argument. Trilogy is great for what it is, but he has outdone those projects several times since then

    Abel has yet to top Trilogy but I think anyone still expecting him to should move on at this point. Every artist peaks eventually

    First, it was the post he made following the announcement of Her Loss saying he was pushing his album back.

    There was some rapper (can't remember who) said they'd be pushing their album back since Her Loss would be dropping and Metro made it a point to say while he was delaying his album, he wasn't pushing his album back for anyone in his tweet. That was him throwing shade for the first time but no one paid it any mind:

    Second was when he liked that tweet about his album being better than Her Loss:

    Third was posting the version of Knife Talk without Drake a day after the version of Trance leaked and the internet was questioning why he left Drake off it:

    https://twitter.com/MetroBoomin/status/1610350006409502724

    And now:

    But let KTT2 idiots tell it, you're crazy for noticing s*** and suggesting something might be going on behind the scenes.

    It was A Boogie that explicitally pushed back bc of Drake/21

    It’s not an argument tho, it’s just someone’s opinion and that’s the problem with y’all. You see someone calling trilogy abel’s best work as an argument lmao

    If you’re discussing an artist’s discography, and your opinion is that ”X album” is better, then your argument is that “X album” is the artist’s best work

    Simple English

    Yeah the Dawn Trilogy

    Ehh, that's cool too

  • Elemental

    People literally have that energy all the time in that thread. Did you miss the whole taylor swift vs rich flex thing

    They only notice the discussions when Abel is brought up. They did the same thing when people were talking down on bundles. They took it as a personal attack on Abel like we weren't calling Travis Bundle Scott around the same time

    No there isn’t some truth to that if you prefer Trilogy to his later works that you’re just attached to who you were when you discovered those tapes thats such a reach what if you just like the music more

    It’s not dismissive at all.

    It’s human nature to feel the greatest appreciation for the art you discovered during your adolescence. There’s been literal studies on it.

    It’s not a reach, there have been studies done on this phenomenon. That people are naturally inclined to prefer music they discovered in their teenage years.

    If someone said Take Care was Drake's best work, while I don't agree, I wouldn't say they don't like music. Most people associate an artist's best work with the work that had the most impact in their lives.

    There's people out here who think 2010 Drake raps better than 2022 Drake because he made their favorite music back then.
