gah damn

on god

That’s the power of the zeddy

kendrick droppings yes i love kendrick droppings

Legit

yeah exactly he clearly had plans for an album rollout those silhouette poses for future songs... but he definitely scrapped that

Yeah, I’ve seen so many ppl ignore that with him and it’s really messed up.

Yeah I think about his family from time to time, so sad

I do be skipping sometimes tho but its all love lol

@@TheKaliMalia you gotta like slow down and listen to it at least one time and it'll grow on uuu I swear

@@blue-rz2hq haha I love all the songs, I just dont always want them all everytime I listen to sza

honestly sza has never made a bad song or album

facts, ctrl is an album that will resonate for a lifetime

I doubt she really cares, Rihanna’s ear is nothing to be messed with. Remember how much hate ANTi got in the beginning. Now 6 years later and everyone is calling it one of the best albums of the decade.

Best album of the decade. Yeah who is saying that? Its her best album and it did great. Idk if she can top it tho and that probably why shes doing other shit.

i don’t think she’ll ever drop again imo that was her retirement album maybe some features but lord knows

She doesn't care about her music anymore. She's like only focusing expanding her fenty empire. Lol she's dropping makeup and new skincare like there's no tomorrow instead

rihanna got pumped in the early days of her career, she has like eight albums from when she was 16-late twenties that is crazy and it was like one per yr and touring and all that shit. then she finished her contract and did anti, and that album hit when i was 16 and still hits now. it’s so good. i think she’ll come back but not for a while. she’s having a family and she’s on her fashion skincare beauty vibe. she’ll come back eventually, it’ll just be on her terms like it was with anti. then we won’t be complaining i’m sure.

This so true. I also love how he teases an album and the finished product is out in a matter of weeks. It's a perfect way to build hype without leading his fans on.

Yessss🙌🏻 he is my favorite and most trustworthy drops , he always delivers just the right amount of hype without it being saturated, he also always brings something new like a character.

I like the consistency he provides

Yeah and I like how its 2 years so you actually dive into the music for a while that you never get tired.

I AGREE!

You say that as if these artists are watching this dude’s KZfaq videos lmao. They don’t gaf

@@yourmajesty7124 That and because they're on the label, they can't do shit about it anyway.

@@yourmajesty7124 yea because artists definitely aren’t normal ass people that also watch KZfaq.

@@scorpionqueen11 Stranger things have happened. The composer for the avengers film decided to change the music and make it more prominent in the last two films after he watched a KZfaq video that criticized marvel music for not having identifiable themes. So you never really know what could happen.

@@oo4758 right, and some artists even scout from KZfaq. Usher scouted Justin Bieber all them years ago and Tyler, The Creator is carrying on that trend with the artists he’s helped sign to his label.

Agreed! And the singles keep getting better. “I Hate U” sounds so fresh and is definitely a step up from good days and good days was a step up from hit different.

@@myfavoriteshirt I love her but I think good days is better than I hate you. I hate you gets a bit boring after a while since it’s so repetitive.

yes!! also the collab with doja was great too!

@@sakinaalia1067 It took me a long time to get into good days and tbh I only listen to the first verse. I heard I Hate U, while tripping lol so it really hits for me now and hit different is my car song.

especially now that sza released ctrl deluxe

Agreed.

I mean seeing this a year later he has really fallen into irrelevance

this was smooth asf 😩😩😩

No way you just called Frank Ocean Blonde like Blonde dropped the album Frank Ocean and not the other way around lmfaoo

i cant believe we're waiting for Kanye to finish recording his lines

But at least we got the leaks

Fr

Carti got us waiting for songs that have been out for half a decade too

Oh I was starting to think that he would never come back. Racine Carrée is literally one of the best album, and just him leaving after that was haaaaaard for fans. The new album is so good too!

same here

Oh yeah, because I don't follow him closely the new album was a big surprise for me. So great!

YESS

Racine carrée hits so hard

idk bc while i think dawn fm is probably the better album, after hours singles are still being played EVERYWHERE. like I haven't heard anything from dawn fm when going out in public but i'll hear save your tears constantly but I also gotta respect the amount of dedication he puts in his album cycles and aesthetic choices

That's not even my kind of music, but I just respect The Weeknd and agree with all you've said

I like that able wordplay

@@Zaftheguy Dawn FM strikes me as an almost decidedly less commercial album than After Hours. That one had very defined ready-made radio singles that Dawn clearly doesn't, with a couple exceptions here and there. Abel clearly wanted to put the concept above all else, which is in detriment of current commercial practices. And I respect the hell out of that. But he could have probably done better had he given Dawn some more space from After Hours.

Ehh.. definitely respect your opinion tho 🙏🏿💙

That's a great mindset to have

A person who appreciates actions of others but doesn’t expect them, amazing!

Yoo fr. Same here man

Yea Kendrick always delivers. I'm happy to wait 🔅❤️

@@VinexAesthetics it took me like 6 months to understand King Kunta lmao

Idk im personally feeling listeners fatigue from the weeknd. He's one artist i wish who would go on break. Also his latest album felt like a dry rehash of his previous hits.

Oh yeah absolutely. There's a lot of youtubers that I feel the same way about, I just know that if they dropped a new video a few times a week it just wouldn't hit the same way. And then there are others who when they don't keep up the schedule that they had already set for a long time it feels bad to not have the video drop as usual.

ong I appreciate his videos more because of that

No I literally came to comment this xd. Nathan's release schedule for a youtuber is far from regular--something I believe mught come at the cost of his channel growing massively--but my God do I enjoy watching him drop a certfied classic after being starved for an entire month.

honestly, i like it when youtubers barely upload and upload at completely random times, because i get way more excited when they upload another example of a youtuber that does something like this is bill wurtz, he barely uploads, but that makes me more excited when he uploads.

i fuckin feel this so hard

I’m literally happy she’s releasing another single and we don’t have to wait a full year or more 😭. She better drop her album THIS year.

Fr , Normani was running to be the next best preformer but doja already took the title

I feel like Normani is waiting out her contract, she is incredible can’t wait for a full album

Normani's production team has been sabotaging her I swear

She didn’t leave again after Wild Side. She dropped her new single Fair. It’s out now

te: CTR🎙️he gonna come w/good ish... nxt. 👀👀👁️👀👁️artist r ppl🌿🎨too they dealin w/life thgs...

The album fantano gave a 0?

Literally especially when you love an artist and then they get big and only make music that will be trendy for TikTok. Megan thee stallion is a huge example of this for me because I fell in love with her when I listened to Tina snow. Her flow and writing was amazing I’d watch her freestyles and then as she got bigger I’d just watch the quality decline to songs like “body”

People really wanted LORDE to forever be 20 and sad. But I loved Solar Power because it feels like she is growing and maturing with me. Each album feels like a encapsulation of an age in someone’s life.

No people didn't hate solar power because it wasn't melodrama 2, they hated it because it was bad and not really worth the wait

@@historia1740 solar power wasn’t bad tboigh

i really liked solar power, not all of the songs are good and there are definitely some skips but she has some beautifulll songs in there two. stoned at the nail salon has such a great existential/romantic vibe to it. fallen fruit is great as well. solar power was such a great summer tune for me and my friends too. i personally liked the vibe better than melodrama, i never got into that album as much.

I love love Solar Power. I'll never get over how badly people made it seem, when in reality it is pretty good.

Franks brother died, one of the main reasons he slowed down. It’s not all about what the audience wants, Frank obviously needed time away from producing and recording. Put it into perspective before you say how it impacts you

@@kaleibigelow7611 I'm aware of Franks brother dying in 2020. He was already spacing the albums out before his brother died...and I think you missed the point of my comment. So put that in perspective before giving me your input that I didnt ask for.

@@kaleibigelow7611 call me an asshole if u will but that’s not an excuse to just not release anything. i think he just out grew that creative aspect of his life and wants to go into modeling and design 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@jadenmcfield553 You're not an asshole just ignorant, a close family member dying is a perfectly valid reason to halt whatever operations you currently had.

AND j COLE!

Solar Power is Sick idk what they’re all on lol

@@maddoxcindy5017 yeah, her fans still dont grow up like her 💀

I loved Solar Power, it was different but still her

im from takapuna/auckland Newzealand and knew lorde when she was growing up. signing to UMG was probably the worst choice she made but over here you dont have a lot of choices. the indie route is 100x harder when the total population is smaller than most of the states in the US

I personally love Solar Power

Instant classic, haven't even seen it yet

no nathan zed is releasing too many videos back to back I cant get hype for him anymore maybe if he waited a year to drop a video then it would be a classic

@@NatRealActual at least until Invincible season 2 comes out

6 years ago !!! Wow. Iconic 🖤

i mean, billie has 50~ songs

@@sean-bh3if you're right, I didn't think of that. but still it's mind blowing that rihanna can do nothing for 6 years and still be in the top 20

@@waavhal you're right, i agree with that. it's incredible

This is insane. It’s probably why she hasn’t released anything. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it No point in over saturating herself/diluting her discography if it’s strong enough to keep her top 20 already

the only group that doesn’t constantly drop music but yet still maintains the hype is blackpink. they haven’t released music in like 2 years which is very unexpected for a kpop group, having 2 years in between releases for western artists is normal or even longer it just kinda shows how crazy the kpop industry is expecting a comeback every 4 months, i feel so bad for twice their company is constantly milking them for money giving them comebacks as frequently as possible, those poor girls must be so tired and overworked.

@@m20047 The members of Twice said they like working but even then, at some point you're going to feel tired dropping 2-3 albums a year

Sounds like capitalism

@@kevinross6235 of course they'd say they like working if asked, they don't really have the option to say they don't

@@kevinross6235 ofc they’d say that though, i doubt they’d say they’re unhappy. let’s not forget that 2 members had to take breaks for mental health/ other reasons. working that hard nonstop has to take a toll on their health

Disagree, i can appreciate her music and artistry, love her songs and a some albums but i lowkey think she works on new music too often. Its starting to feel a little bland , and she kinds is just pumping out albums that aren't memorable and repeating the same things she already does. Blue banisters is not memorable , it has a few songs that you can listen to more than once but after a while you really forget about it. Same with chemtrails, her last good album was norman. Too little music is bad and too much music isn't good either. She is starting to lose her spark and all her songs are starting to sound the same . She is releasing a lot of fillers , no true works of art .

@@opuimor lmao bro I just discovered Lana last year and I actually agree with you! I’ve seen her last albums and looked at the newest one. And felt like if bored with it, like there was not as much passion in the music as usual. I don’t know a lot of times I can feel when an artist doesn’t put as much passion in the music as usual. Just a general feeling. For me it’s similar to Ariana Grande. Her newest effort felt underwhelming to me. Something was missing when I listened to it and I don’t go back to the project often. Like they should take more time on the music and live life a little so they don’t just get stuck in the same zone when they make songs.

Agreed

@@opuimor didn't age well also chemtrail is pretty good

yeah like The Grinch soundtrack, singles, features & producing

the longer the wait though the higher the pressure and expectation is.

It’s all different methods of success, if you read the 48 laws of power, you’ll see the base outline of how basically every type of artist can move in the industry. Obviously the books ideas apply to more than just the music industry, but a lot of these artist are aware of this book, and follow its ideals very closely. Social media is a mind game after all.

The reason I commented that, was to say the reasoning in that book explains why we are willing to wait for some artist while some can’t go 3 months without needing to tease more music. It’s all about how the artist personally operates on social media, how they’ve crafted their image. Like playboi carti, so much of his hype and fanbase revolves around his image and how he re invents it all the time, how he only says enough to the fans to make them wonder if music is coming. But from what I can see, music comes second to the image.

Exactly

I feel like it'll be extremely underwhelming by the time they do. Maybe Frank puts out a timeless album

@@lalaalal7847 I genuinely believe Frank is unable to put out anything that’s not full of incredible lyrics, top tier production, emotions overflowing throughout the entire thing with perfect themes included

Samee

Didn't they disband? 😳

@@tailsmelv025 No and they never have. Just have had a lot of lineup changes

@@tailsmelv025 no!! they are very much together and working on their 6th album

It's been 5 years?! Howw is that possible

Yes! They are working on Paramore 6 right now! It's such a wait man 😫

I have not really heard anybody saying this but I definitely agree! I sort of miss Beyoncé’s solo music. I think every artist should try a more personal and solo approach once and a while so they can explore their craft in every way that’s true to themselves.

Same. I'm excited to see where she is going with her music. I'd love to hear great instrumentation and soul, kind of Stevie Wonder'esque. However, while I think everybody agrees that Beyonce is an icon, I am not sure if B7, whatever it will be, will be as commercially successful as her previous solo projects (I hope it will). All her little projects since the Lemonade era (incl. Coachella in this) haven't really garnered that much hype. People weren't really that crazy about Everything is Love or The Lion King album. "Be Alive" didn't really create any sort of buzz (she of course didn't promote it at all and I honestly don't think that the song was that exciting). While Beyonce is a superstar, a Queen, who put out genre-bending, uber-successful albums in the 10s, she didn't really have that many radio/streaming hits in the last decade. I think the last real hit-single people remember was Drunk in Love in 2014. All that said, the music industry has changed so much, there is a whole new generation out there who only know Beyonce as a legacy act, an icon, but not as the hot artist of the moment (like she was in the 2000s).

uhmmmm....

Well we getting it!!!!

I didn’t know he released a new album so thank you for commenting this, about to go check it out 🤩

remember before we waited like 2 years in between albums? now we just live in fear

@@KawaiiGlitterful Seriously. I'm excited to see what direction she goes in after the re-recordings.

@@davidfc7136 oh gosh yea these rerecordings are buying her so much time to work on ts10, i heard shes been working on it since evermore. very excited

A great move was to get two albums out (before the rerecordings) that were indie and had only one single each. It gave fans a lot to process while waiting for the rerecords and also, did not oversaturate the market because it was not pushed to radios and did not have that pop-appeal that her other albums had. Absolutely brilliant. Keeps fans happy while giving the public time before TS10.

@@blackmilk1000 Very smart on Taylor's part.

If there’s an artist I love I won’t listen/watch any promo, if there are singles I MIGHT listen to one or two, and on release day I block all the reviews and takes and let it sit for a week and then jump in when everyone done being loud as hell. I’ve found that even if it’s a bit extreme it really helps me create such a unique listening experience and keeps others out

It definitely helps. I went into Solar Power, Scaled and Icy, Donda, The off season and Dawn FM with zero absolutely zero expectations no matter the hype or what the artists dropped before that and each album has blown me away. We often like to think that every song is gonna hit like a drug the way Blinding Lights does for example, yet we often forget that thoughtful artists are all gonna hit you in a different way and spot with their music, and if you only leave a gap open for it that doesn’t exist while closing off all the others you’re most definitely gonna be disappointed

@@spaces67 yesss, i do this too! I like going into it blind. Unless I REALLY love the artist I haven’t heard from in a while, I’ll listen to the first single they put out and wait until the album😄

Umm personally I think even though the gift was a collaborative album, beyonce really gave a lot in that album. And it's such a beautiful and unique piece of art.

@@tinaye8638 I truly don't understand the dismissive attitude towards The Gift. I mean, I'm desperately waiting for B7, but The Gift was really, really good. And I really liked EIL too.

Solar Power is definitely not a classic. All that hype and it didn’t perform well, critic wise, fan wise and just commercially

Solar Power was cute but definitely not a classic. The hype died down after a week and there was no follow up single. I just wish she came in with something more impactful after being gone for so many years.

Disagree lmao. Kendrick made DAMN. in less than 2 years. And that album has plenty of loose quality songs (Humble, Dna, Element, Loyalty, Duckworth etc.).
