The Weeknd - What You Need

[@domthevisionary4035]

I remember when he was unknown. Like nobody knew what he looked like. I remember when his music was for the underground. Dark. Emotional. Drugs. Euphoria. 10 years later I wouldn’t have guessed this for him but I’m glad he’s successfully a star.

[@bchild10]

Me too he purposely wouldn’t be in his videos for longest

[@CleanLogo]

"Dark. Emotional. Drugs. Euphoria." and thats why hes famous.

[@jaydevvadodaria6628]

Yes, he said he never did interviews or wanted to show his face as he wanted to be known for his music and nothing else.

[@d0wnward_sp1ral]

I remember an old picture of him standing in a creepy looking hallway, leaning against the wall. That's one of my favorite photos of him so far.

[@jhonnyhernandez7283]

Man tell me about it. Thanks to drake he got a little more known but he had great songs before drake.

It’s a different vibe, some people like this better the old Weeknd or his other stuff newer stuff. That’s what makes him great so many different styles and people can pick what they like most and it’s all good timeless music. I do think he lost his voice a bit over the years tho. This trilogy was the best in my opinion but I can see why his other music sells or why people like it better. He has a great collection of great music. I think his life has changed to much to go back to this style of music. Trilogy was music he was going thru that part of his life and it’s the best to me

[@nishantr.3448]

This was the dumbest statement I've ever read. If he didn't enjoy making music like this then why did he release 3 mixtapes and an album "like this". If he wanted to skyrocket to success he could've just sang more pop music since that would've boosted his career faster. He enjoys making music like this but the market for it is too small. And he loves money like anybody else. Nothing wrong with missing his old sound numbnuts.

[@proudbeaner696]

Andrew ClarkWilt He enjoy making the music but hated being depressed . His only way to get rid of some pain is by singing. If you were a real fan , you would of knew that.

@@amineiajouri The one on Trilogy doesn't have the Aaliyah sample. This one feels raw and original.

This was one of his first early songs that made him famous!

[@daiyngoforth]

C Moreno I like the song very much, but this didn't have any more significance in him being famous than any other song on the trilogy album.

[@disneyruler1]

lol yes it did it was one of the first three original tracks he put out that made people tune in including "High for This."

must be great to have the very first comment on the first video that started this all huh? amazing lol

[@jarenc2048]

I remember the first time I heard this song was 2011. I was drunk as hell and high as hell at a party at my ex boyfriend's and as the party was ending my best friend put this on. I was jumping on the green little strobe lights as they stood still on that floor like damn fairy playing hop scotch and twirling around the damn room lit as tf in the pitch black room filled with green dots. Next thing you know she played coming down. I officially had to know who the hell he was and where did he come from. Those two songs made me appreciate this mane all the way to 2015 and I still come back to it and it never gets old. And you can imagine the difference between then when I was high as hell and me not smoking anymore now. It's still the same kind of amazing. This old long ass story nobody's about to read. 😂 lmboooo

[@TheBaltimoreKnight]

His story is amazing. He posted these videos on KZbin, this one, Loft Music and The Morning and they blew up. He was an unkown artist and never showed his face, just used eery and seductive pics, a falseto voice with dark lyrics and sounds and it blew up. He's still like in this character where he doesn't give many if any interviews and he's very behind the scenes like he's a phantom. Notice no appearence in Wiz Khalifa's video.

I'm so happy to be alive in the timeline The Weeknd is here , present, active and progressing. I don't know where my life would be like without knowing he exists, if he didn't exist. I found the love of my life because of him and now we have two beautiful kids because of him. (this is baby making music, y'all) X'O 4Ever.

True shit and his music ain't as bomb as it used to be

[@lilhandtm]

This guy helps me get through recovery making things feel normal going through toxic relationships and explains that drugs numbed everything and now I'm just recovering and feel blessed to have his music to reminisce. I've been a fan of Abel from the beginning. I remember when no one knew what he looked like and no one expected him to become the greatest RnB singer of this generation. I knew gold when I saw it. Congrats on your success Abel. I'm also an aspiring artist and wish I had a single with you. Not for the money not for the clout, but for the raw talent and emotion that you give on every single track. My dying wish is to meet you and make a song with you. Even if it goes unnoticed Or unpublished.

[@MccreeMcMemez]

Well actually this album is actually bout something he experienced through his eyes and his eyes only

[@lilhandtm]

@@MccreeMcMemez okay, and I'm sure it is. But it's helped me out.

[@jaykeane25]

​@@lilhandtminterestingly the point of resonating is being able to see through someone else's eyes and heart which is what being a musician is about . Reaching out to connect and share . Thus there is no his and his alone because we are part of the same expression of consciousness which despite our perceived individual reality and experience . There is no alone . Technically speaking 😂

His old music will always be on a different level. Literally love every song that he has on the mixtapes that I listen to non stop.

[@ag2407]

The main producer on his old mixtapes Is Jeremy Rose. They had a falling out right before the weekend made it big in the mainstream. it’s a shame they didn’t make more music past these mixtapes. Jeremy Rose created the original sound and image the Weeknd based his career off of.
