Nov 2, 2016 The Weeknd: A Rising Starboy In the beginning, the Weeknd wanted to be invisible. The son of Ethiopian immigrants who had fled the country’s famine in the 1980s, he spoke Amharic as a child. He dropped out of high school in Scarborough, Ontario—an ethnically mixed neighborhood on the outskirts of Toronto—at 17. Soon after, he moved out of the house he shared with his mother and his grandmother and into a one-bedroom apartment with four friends. In 2010, he recorded three songs and posted them on the internet. They started to get some notice—and then Toronto’s own Drake linked to them from his website, and that notice got serious. “Drake will always be like a big brother to me,” says Tesfaye. “He always showed love and kind of showed the world what I could do.” Also says he wishes he could make political music like Kendrick and Cole, but says it's a difficult art: “But I don’t know how to make political music—not yet, anyway. People like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, that’s a talent, it’s an art that I wish I could do.” More: http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-weeknd-a-rising-starboy-1478102781
Nov 2, 2016 the zone the greatest ovoxo collab but you forgot the ride, cameras/good ones go, shot for me

Nov 3, 2016 good s--- deleting that kendrick post @Mike Tyson don't need them TPAB stans running in here
Nov 3, 2016 weeknd is the ONLY person i want for drake if he's gonna insist on using writers but honestly weeknd himself is in a completely different headspace than he was 2011/2012 so we might still never get another take care
Nov 3, 2016 I don't want him to write for him, but I'd co-sign them spending time together working on a collab project rather than Drake doing something with Gucci or Future.
Nov 3, 2016 i don't want anyone to write for him f--- @Kenneth and the rest of them mindless drake stans that don't care if he got writers. man.....that s--- takes so much away from the music. you can't just listen to music and no appreciate how it was crafted together. but if it's being crafted together by something like a nike sweatshop in asia, then it makes it very very hard to rock with the final product idk how long he been doing this for but we know he can write..i think? assuming projects like comeback season and so far gone were both him writing alone
Nov 3, 2016 heavily influenced* some of the songs drake took from weeknd didn't even have weeknd on it so how's that possible?
