TheFaderThis take ainât it. Weeknd started his career by being more aligned with hip-hop than pop. He was giving features to people like Drake, Wiz Khalifa, and Rick Ross way before he ever jumped on a pop artistâs song.
You may not like the trap features but to say that the the white pop artists are more âhimâ is just wrong imo
The retconning of him being a pop girlie over the entire scene he came up with is strange lol

Youâre acting like once he went pop he turned his back on rappers. That wouldâve been selling out, he ainât do that

brother, the argument was that at this stage of his career, he should be collaborating with singers/interesting producers/artists and not sleepwalking through generic trap beats.

right
and i think a big issue in modern fandom in general is stans projecting what they would prefer an artist to do on the artist and then getting disappointed when it doesnt happen
theres a bunch of stans that seem to be fans of what they think the weeknd could be rather than what he actually is
