    LLLMMMMFFFFFAAAAAAOOOOOO humans are just recycled star dust

    Oct 4, 2016
    Ever since HOB gained traction some years ago I've never been able to look past his voice and the occasional cringe moments...and it baffles me how its not more talked about...
    Voice is normally never a problem for me...Thug..Danny Brown...Lil Yachty...Xiu Xiu... You name it there's never been another artist I just completely couldn't get into because of how they literally sound.

    I've liked him occasionally when he's not sooooo high like Tell Your Friends for example is OK for me.

    So with Star boy reaching #3 this week I said OK let's try it and I just can not f--- with it LOL.... I've come back to him several times over the last 5 years and every time its a speed bump just to high...


    I always have to turn off Pray 4 Love when he gets to the "Sorry baby I don't PLAAYY" line to cause it makes my face shrivel like a raisin

    Any tips?

    I haven't been a fan of his latest music, but everything he did during his ovo/xo days when he was still cool with drake was really good.

    Just listen to them individually I guess and if it's not your cup of tea then it's not your cup of tea mate.

    i like the weeknd, but i'm not big into rnb so while i may visit his projects periodically, the only one i've actually listened to in full and also liked more than a handful of tracks from was his last one. not sure i'll care much for his new album since starboy was just okay for me and false alarm nosedived on me at the hook.

    but on the real
