>>60989113
I know you faggot but he is godawful now, new BP material is laughable
doesn't public image limited have a black member
i feel bad for black artists man cuz i knw for a fact alot grow up isolated into not venturing out in fear of being called "white" lol
>>60989042
I'd call him a rapper. Blends it with singing in a really unique way, though. Blurs the line to more of an extreme than Chance ever has
Babyface
Antwuan Stanley
Common
Akon

>50% rapper
He literally raps on one track and it's not even one of his
>>60988459
Yeah but I still wouldn't call him a rapper.
frank ocean is booty
he doesnt produce, he likely doesnt even write his own songs, he hangs around with creative people who write songs for him but still manages to make this shitty watered down version of soul and rnb music that only a redditor would enjoy
frank ocean is reddit the musician
>>60991424
>he likely doesnt even write his own songs
He was and probably still is a ghostwriter for Def Jam
>>60991424
he select the beats
>>60991473
>>60991490
his music is hot garbage
change his harmonies from organs to a dark sounding synth and his drum samples to 808s and hes literally the weeknd
probably the most overrated musician on the market today
>>60991490
i heard he has a 'good ear for beats'

drummer from letlive i think
Tosin abasi
trying to avoid hip hop producers(xxyyxx does more downtempo/wonky stuff) but i dont really pay attention to musicians race now that i think about it.
>>60991608
>There are people on /mu/ right now like this guy
>>60992317
found the redditor
>>60991608
He sounds nothing like the weeknd at all
>>60993033
notation wise he is the weeknd
drum arrangement wise he is the weeknd
vocal phrasing wise he is the weeknd
the only difference between him and the weeknd is hes got organs and rhodes instead of synthesizers
considering the type of people who he hangs with its almost weird how boring his music is
>>60988637
This desu
>>60988080
>>60988080
>>60988080
He's black and asian.

is this some sort of sick joke or what?
>>60986434
I would argue its harder to name 5 good black musicians of the past decade who are rappers.
That genre hasnt been good in well over a decade.

Nope
>>60996362
Sound's like an american idol song, over the top vocal's, basic cord progression and generic acoustic instrumentals, it's as stale as lukewarm ramen soup.
