The Weeknd's Perfect Trilogy - House of Balloons: A Horrifying Masterpiece

HUGE SHOUTOUT TO "THAT BOY AQUA" for the video title idea! He made a fantastic essay on Arkham Asylum, and I did a similar take on it since HoB's atmosphere reminds me of it lol. Subscribe to him!

In this video I dissect my favorite mixtape of all time.

The Weeknd has become one of the most prevalent musicians in the entire world, evolving from a druggy R&B crooner to a worldwide pop star. Abel Tesfaye kickstarted his career with a mysterious persona, dark musical world, and raw aesthetic that created a wave in music we are still feeling vibrations from. I've always connected with the pure misery and coldness that made up House of Balloons, despite Abel singing about having everything anyone could ever want secularly. Let's talk about the deep, dark character portrayal he gives us in House of Balloons and what it means for his career and the music industry at large...

My top 3 from this incredible mixtape: The Party & The After Party, Loft Music, The Knowing

Verdict: Greatest R&B project ever [well, 1/3 of it... ;)]

I am a Christian and student and I made this channel when I was in high school. I started this channel because I love talking about music (specifically hip hop) and given that the genre seems to be going downhill, I want to be part of the community that preserves the expectation of great music and dissecting what makes a beautiful rap record. Dealing with a lack of friends to discuss these matters with, I hoped to start my own community that loves music just as I do, as well as to provide a unique perspective as a follower of Christ that also appreciates this community. I appreciate everyone who watches and I am truly happy to see anybody comment their thoughts on a project I talk about.

Put "KING OF R&B" as your comment if you read the description!

As always, thank you very much for watching and taking time out of your day to discuss music with me, God bless. Isaiah 55:8-12
