Can we talk about The Weeknd?

I know I am late to the party... but I haven't been able to get this guy's voice/production out of my head for the past day or so.

What say you, Huddle? Fans or not?

I'm actually usually opposed to most pop/R&B stuff that comes out today but am not afraid to admit it when an artist comes out that I generally dig. This guy's vocals and production are on point.

Digging around a bit, he seems to have had an almost overnight success thing going on in that he basically hasn't been on the scene but maybe 4 years or so. It seems as though Drake gave him some kind of boost in fame, but tbqh I don't follow Drake or any of today's mainstream rap/R&B artists.

The Weeknd also seems like a little bit of a mystery as far as who he is other than a great singer. I guess I just find him pretty interesting right now.

Hills has grown on me.  

Some interesting, if borderline absurd, reading on his videos.

The Weeknd’s videos “The Hills”, “Can’t Feel My Face” and “Tell Your Friends” form a trilogy that tells a disturbing story. Through symbolism, the videos describe a dark and occult path to fame.

He's obviously a great singer. I've never really looked into who is writing his songs or programming his beats, so there's no way he's just a one man show

He has a band.  I met his bassist and guitarist in my drunken haze while it in NYC last year.  I feel pretty stupid now BC I was asking them what the name of their band was and even wrote it down in my phone.  I follow the bassist on Instagram now and he's constantly posting pics/vids of the venues they're playing at.  As you can expect, they were pretty chill meaning they didn't act like they were hotshots or flabbergasted that I didn't know who they were.

I think The Hills was Illangelo IIRC... I looked him up the first time I heard the song... It is a great beat...

I do believe, from what I read, that The Weeknd does indeed contribute to the production process, and writes all his lyrics actually.

    • Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.
    • lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.
    • I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
