The Weeknd - Dawn FM (January 7,2022) Album • Page 8

I know - but the bits that do are absolute garbage

 

This ain’t it chief

 

So are you one of those people who tell others you’re into everything but country and that rap crap?

 

Rap is good

Tyler’s verse is ok and Wayne’s verse isn’t good. Not a wild take

 

Best rap features on Weeknd tracks are Kendrick and Future

 

I could do without the Wayne verse. I like Tyler's because he works best as a feature artist IMO. Can't deal with his voice on too many songs in a row.

 

I always wanted a Future/Weeknd mixtape

 

That'd be sick. All I Know is one of my favs off Starboy.

 

Would’ve been incredible back in 2015/2016

 

Not at all - I like country

Never really understood why so many hip-hop fans get offended when people don't like their preferred style of music. I love folk and post-hardcore music but it doesn't bother me when others have no interest.

 

Probably because you’re being weird about two brief rap features on a pop album.

 

I'm not being weird! Just stating that I feel those elements derail 2 otherwise perfectly good songs

 

Also, don’t be so close minded, there’s all kind of rappers and groups out there with different styles and perhaps you just never found anything you clicked with yet. Expand your horizons a little bit and you can find all kinds of things.

 

In that case, who are you tell Abel that those bits didn’t fit his songs?

 

Yeah, like of course it’s fair if certain artists/styles don’t resonate with someone. But rap is such a diverse genre and has been for a long time, I really feel like people who say they don’t like any rap haven’t checked out very much or explored beyond whatever popular songs they don’t care for.

 

I'm more than willing to give things a try - and you're right there are almost certainly albums and artists out there that I could potentially click with.

Over the years I tried to get on with some of the 'flagship' releases (To Pimp a Butterfly, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Run the Jewels etc) and they've not really done anything for me - I think it's the braggadocio associated with the genre that puts me off. I'm not really interested in how much money you have, or how many women you've slept with.

 

The Tyler feature is great. I could do without the Wayne one.

 

If this is what you got out of “To Pimp a Butterfly.” You probably need to revisit that album…

 

The Wayne verse is so bad, which is especially a shame when he really brought it on the Tyler album just 7 months ago.

 

This is projected to only do 150-170K first week

 

no physicals + surprise release so this makes sense

 

Yep, forgot pre ordered physicals don’t count anymore!

 

me too, I'm not even sure why but I got chills absentmindedly listening to it

 

Low Life still rules

 

C'mon man
