illangelo his day 1 producer and engineer. this is kinda miracle. Illangelo is crazy talented and Abel too thats so special they find each other very early. when u think about this is kinda crazy one in a million shit and it created our generations biggest artist
KCBraiz he still would be Drake lmao. The Weeknd immensely help shape the sound of Take Care but the songs that did best on his album in the billboards were Take Care, Make me Proud, Marvin's Room,The Motto all songs The Weeknd didn't help out in. Then from then on the rest of his albums The Weeknd had no influence at all on him. Safe to say Drake would be more or less in the same position he is now.
7 років тому+18
GiantsRTheBest1 pbr&b from weeknd which helped drake more so
GiantsRTheBest1 The Weeknd actually gave most of the take care album to drake. Drake discovered him, The Weeknd gave him songs early on because this was way before he was famous, and drake turned some of The Weeknd's songs and his own into the take care album. And yeah. That includes Marvin's room.
A.J. Mason okay first of all The Weeknd says he gave half of *his* album so it's HOB not Take Care. Second of all without The Weeknd there would be no Take Care but without Drake there would be no Weeknd, it was a mutual benefit. Third of all every song The Weeknd helped out in is credited on the album and Marvin's room is def not one of them just listen to the shit The Weeknd sang about during that time of his life and and look at Marvin's Room. Two completely different set of minds The Weeknd basically saying all women are sluts and how fucked up he gets at parties and Drake saying women are delicate flowers.
@@reauxcroix654 nothing wrong with drake either during this era we got some absolutely incredible music from him aswell its not like abel wrote this entire album
I got into The Weeknd super fucking late, around fall of 2016. I soon learned almost all the lyrics to all of his songs, I then found out he helped out with half of Take Care, which is basically my favorite Drake album.
Me 2, I knew his singles playing all the time on the radio but I didn't know much about him, his albums, first time my ex gf showed me him before Starboy release (month before) it was first time I ever heard "In the night", "Adaption", "Shameless", we were driving a car for hours listening to his music, spending time on back, making love, being together for half night, damn. Now it's almost 5 months since she broke up with me, we were 2 years together and everytime I listen to Abel's songs I have flashbacks about her, still waiting for Chapter 6!
Verse 1] Take your nose off my keyboard What you bothering me for? There's a room full of niggas What you following me for? This ain't no fucking sing-along So, girl, what you singin' for?

@@desireegolnick-ross1887When I first heard this song on the radio driving back home to Oakland, I instantly told my girl next to me that this dude is going to be huge since the sound, vibe, and production are absolutely amazing. Then Drake's goofy verse would invade it and ruin the whole aesthetic of the record like usual.
The thing I love about this track is that it really captures that Toronto downtown feel on a Saturday night in the right club or penthouse party (during this time frame). Always thought Drakes verse was unnecessary on this track. #salute for the upload
Whats crazy is that I just can't wrap my head around how this guy started from doing drugs in a house too selling out stadiums and becoming the most famous musicians if all time
Been going through my old Playlist from high school and the last few hours have been a ride. It takes me back to where I was and puts into perspective how much time has past, how much I have been through and how much I've changed since then. Bittersweet.
Wow! This definitely sounds amazing. Just hearing Abel's beautiful angelic voice definitely takes me places that I never felt. I'm definitely feeling this version of this song
Abel said that he gave this to Drake cause he didn’t like his second verse. Drake should’ve just made Abel do his second verse over after the rap cause the album version is way too short.
I remembered hearing Weeknd's songs, when there were no face on it. There's something special when artists make music prior to becoming mainstream. It's like it's more genuine.
i dont know why but I feel like trilogy is just perfect, nothing to ad or subtract. Its just perfect the way it is imo. Abel did an incredible job filtering all of the content he had. This song wasn't destined to be on any of the 3 mix tapes and in some way trilogy wouldn't have been the same with this particular song in it. So maybe thats good?
I agree house of balloons wouldn't be HOBwith this on and I feel like take care is a side part to house of balloons as they all came out around the same time. Imagine if the weeknd wasn't on take care with this song and had it to himself. I think the fact he had such amazing features on drakes album and the projects he was dropping himself all added to the buzz and helped add the extra bit of attention onto Abel. Like shit this guys dropping his own style music and dominating it all over drakes project too we have to check this guy out
This is not the "original" song that was gonna be used in HOB. The beats that you hear throughout the song were the beats created by 40 for the song that we know today. This is just the regular song with drakes part taken out and The Weeknd's second verse put in. His original song was much slower
The fact The Weeknd set the ambience and gave drake half of house of balloons for Take Care.. That mixtape alone including Trilogy changed R&B. Moody, alternative R&B had an entire breakthrough thanks to The Weeknd and Drake. From 808's to So Far Gone to Trilogy. A trilogy indeed. Will forever rep XO.
Those songs wouldn’t be the same if drake wasn’t on them. I fuck with the weeknd but drake made the songs hot with his verses. Abel most likely wrote the hooks and even on the ride he’s just providing the singing on the background, you guys act like he made the whole song and drake just recited what was given to him lol
I'm not denying that Take Care was not amazing, I love Drake, it's just I am personally curious what Abel would have done with the songs himself, and if he would have scrapped other songs on House of Balloons.
Its 3:40am. I'm reminising on old memories. 5 and a half years ago I met my ex ex girlfriend while at university, we were together for 2 and a half years in the end... it was an extremely toxic relationship, fights every other day but oh my god it was powerful. We met in our first year at university, she was my first girlfriend and she was the most beautiful girl in the world, it was safe to say I fell instantly... and hard. I listened to this song on repeat when I used to skateboard over to hers late at night. Man the memories, I was so free living the university life not having any responsibilities and just focusing all of my attention on her. Fuck so many memories that I can feel. She lived in Germany while I lived in the UK and we went on holiday together to Spain and Berlin, she was my world and I still fucking love her even though she treated me like CRAP and manipulated me into thinking that it was my fault that she self harmed. Damn, I didn't think I'd end up writing so much, I've actually got tears running down my face. I feel like after 4 and a half years I'm finally processing my emotions and it's the most beautiful release and this song is just so bloody mesmorising it takes me right back to the days when my life was so ridiculously amazing. Man life passes by quickly and you don't know you're living your best life until it's over. Damn life is so beautiful. I feel like I want to get in touch with her again and phone her to get closure even after three years. It's really weird for me because I haven't really thought about her for three years now but this song has just bought back everything and made me realise I haven't got closure
wow this shit is deep, im currently in a relationship with a girl and i love her so much and ill listen to the weeknd's music and it'll intensify that feeling and it's just so crazy how music can represent and almost be like a time stamp of events, it's so powerful
@@miru4763 Thanks for sharing, I wish you both the best of luck. Cherish these times my friend, you never know what the future holds and before you know it, you'll look back and realise you didn't cherish the best moments of your life. Maybe reply to me in a few years if things go to shit and we can talk x
I could see this being on Thursday, more so EOS though because of the feel of this song is similar to Montreal. Or HoB maybe before wicked games on the track list.
I would actually put it before the morning because the third song on HoB is HoB/Glass table girls. The ending of that song is upbeat and dark and would transition beautifully into this song. The reason why I don’t think I would go good before wicked games is because it’s after the morning and that song is kind of slow.
Thank u you. I had this on a hard drive a long time ago and my son made the stove malfunction. The music I had... Unreleased Donnie Hathaway, Prince in concert, the sparkle soundtrack... Over 100 gigs...😢😢😢 Can someone fight him for me😅😂😂😂
Crazy that it really took fuckin Love Me Harder and Earned It for this man to finally get mainstream attention, I remember my senior year of high school in 2014, every time I would ask classmates, “you listen to The Weeknd” they would always say “who’s that” now this man is one of the biggest artists. Ion really like the POP sound he’s doing but I am glad to have been able to watch him go from unknown to becoming a household name
Wow I am super late. This is my first time hearing this. I had no idea there was an original version to this song all this time wtf. I love this way better
I knew his singles playing all the time on the radio but I didn't know much about him, his albums, first time my ex gf showed me him before Starboy release (month before) it was first time I ever heard "In the night", "Adaption", "Shameless", we were driving a car for hours listening to his music, spending time on back, making love, being together for half night, damn.

I lied thursday was the worst one of the three probably wouldve been nice to have this on it. But this song woulda been on HoB
it was gonna be on HOB according to Abel
what type of fuckin drug is in the weeknd's old songs? this just made my heart sink, this is perfection.
idk but it’s so addicting 😩

welcome to the other side
Bro sorry but how old or young are you to only have discovered him 3 years ago you’ve been sleeping for too long man
I’m glad I knew of him since 2011 😭
Zay Flacko he gave him 2 songs, and helped on another 2, that’s for. The rest was Drake and 40. Get your facts right
This song always hits me with how he predicted his future life. Gives me chills how determined some people are to follow their insane dreams.
aye real shit dude really spoke all that shit into existence x10
Verse 1]
Take your nose off my keyboard
What you bothering me for?
There's a room full of niggas

It's cause we blowing like a C4
You know my whole crew blowing like a C4

Fake ID's in the trash, weed blowin'
Straight to the top, rooftop glows
With a hand full of girls and they all so foreign
Brain so poisoned, rainbows flowin'
Light-skinned chick, first flight from Poland
A whole lotta friends, first flight from Poland
A whole lotta cash coming straight from Poland

Need proof, ask your girl's titties, she on the right side
SSL on the left, saying we the best
She wants to be friends with the crew
Take a lot of pics and travel where we move
Model on stage while I'm singing in her ear
20,000 fans get jealous up in here
They don't even care, girl, give it a rest
Ain't no fucking pussy gonna stick out from the rest
Girls with big breasts ain't shit without legs

Penelope Cruz, Natalie Portman, please holla at your dude
Used to rap blues for the girls with tattoos

Drake's version is wayy better. You act like the Weeknd's second verse added an extraordinary amount of stuff....
mrvbadass it did, this version is MUCH better than the original, tbh the beat just fits the weeknds style more than drake
mrvbadass people are allowed to have opinions and different taste in music.
The best "mainstream" artist in the business for me.
His voice is pure Velvet. Plus his music has more depth
he’s very talented
Oh ur a newby lol ..
Wow that second verse was crazy wtf

ur not wrong jesus christ man
Shit was fire

Was not expecting that
Bruh the weeknd was WAYYYY before his time.

Way before bro

The Weeknd should do a care package type album with all he original demos of the songs he gave Drake. Also the unreleased songs he has
Something’s you just gotta let die…

In desperate need of that care package in 2024

I feel like I want to get in touch with her again and phone her to get closure even after three years. It's really weird for me because I haven't really thought about her for three years now but this song has just bought back everything and made me realise I haven't got closure
wow this shit is deep, im currently in a relationship with a girl and i love her so much and ill listen to the weeknd's music and it'll intensify that feeling and it's just so crazy how music can represent and almost be like a time stamp of events, it's so powerful
@@miru4763 Thanks for sharing, I wish you both the best of luck. Cherish these times my friend, you never know what the future holds and before you know it, you'll look back and realise you didn't cherish the best moments of your life. Maybe reply to me in a few years if things go to shit and we can talk x
Woah, I didn't know there was a version without Drake. This is even nicer!
The only stain on The Weeknds career is letting that vulture Drake anywhere near his songs.
????? He copied drakes so far gone sound
I could see this being on Thursday, more so EOS though because of the feel of this song is similar to Montreal. Or HoB maybe before wicked games on the track list.
I think that is better as leftoff
i feel you, i actually understand when you say it could be on thursday cuz it does have that ambient vibe
I would actually put it before the morning because the third song on HoB is HoB/Glass table girls. The ending of that song is upbeat and dark and would transition beautifully into this song. The reason why I don’t think I would go good before wicked games is because it’s after the morning and that song is kind of slow.
Imagine this like after hob (the song)
I heard this song around the time it came out and it was really good and it is one of my favorites till this day
SWEAR I LOVE THIS VERISON
This sound is timeless not just the track
3:10 i can listen to that all day.....
I get chills listening to this version ❤
This is the first time I'm hearing this and I LOVE IT. I agree with others on here he should release it.
If your listing to this
Just know
Your truly absolutely amazing
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS OML!!!
Found it guys
Thank u you. I had this on a hard drive a long time ago and my son made the stove malfunction. The music I had... Unreleased Donnie Hathaway, Prince in concert, the sparkle soundtrack... Over 100 gigs...😢😢😢 Can someone fight him for me😅😂😂😂
A boy trying to climb a ladder that he didn’t belong on, he was already superior to his piers. A legend in the making 😊
This song is a drug!!!, sooo gooood!!!
Trilogy Weeknd was defo from a different planet. That 2nd verse may be a freestyle but it is fucking sick and the vocal effect is a wonderful touch.
IMHO this version is better ❤️
3:00 is my fav and so fourth I love what he did at the end!! 😭🔥💕
The last part always gets me HYPED UGH I LOVE YOU ABEL this is the very first song I heard of his, and what made me become XO. 💕🎈 XOTWOD
Holy shit that verse! SO VIBEY!! I needed this back in 2012 - 2013 maaaan!! First time i'm hearing this!
Crazy that it really took fuckin Love Me Harder and Earned It for this man to finally get mainstream attention, I remember my senior year of high school in 2014, every time I would ask classmates, “you listen to The Weeknd” they would always say “who’s that” now this man is one of the biggest artists. Ion really like the POP sound he’s doing but I am glad to have been able to watch him go from unknown to becoming a household name
Las canciones de The Weeknd las dejo de escuchar por un tiempo largo, pero cuando vuelvo es como una puta droga para los oídos.
He didn't like the second verse? I fucking love it honestly
Wow I am super late. This is my first time hearing this. I had no idea there was an original version to this song all this time wtf. I love this way better
Bruh….the fact that this song was supposed to be on The Weeknd’s debut album but ended up giving to Drake is pretty depressing.
0:58 BRO this part is soo shmexyy
I knew his singles playing all the time on the radio but I didn't know much about him, his albums, first time my ex gf showed me him before Starboy release (month before) it was first time I ever heard "In the night", "Adaption", "Shameless", we were driving a car for hours listening to his music, spending time on back, making love, being together for half night, damn. Now it's almost 5 months since she broke up with me, we were 2 years together and everytime I listen to Abel's songs I have flashbacks about her, still waiting for Chapter 6!
the ending is just so much more awesome
Great backround harmony
Omg this is even better than the version with Drake
Man I always wished i could have just got this even before we found out this was an original weekend song. Craaaaaazy
Not sure why this one isn’t mainstream drake killed it but this one is gold
