Someone more "hip" than I am please help...

[Kingcarl24]

Will someone more "hip" than me (essentially the entire board other than Abe and Zombie who acts whiter than me) please explain to me what the song Starboy is really about.

The Weeknd is speaking English but I have no idea what he's talking about. It's like he's just saying words.

Seriously. Who is that guy? I bet nobody listens to his music or asks for him to be in any kind of demand.

isn't he a muzzy?

[LeBronMonsterDunk]

Basically he's talking about how he's a star and he's flaunting his spoils.

For example here's the first verse broken down for you.

"I'm tryna put you in the worst mood ah, P1 cleaner than your church shoes ah"

P1:

"Milli point 2 just to hurt you ah, All red Lamb just to tease you" - Talking about his $1.2 million Lambo

"None of these toys on lease too, made your whole year in a week too" - Doesn't lease his spoils, made as much in a week as you do in a year

"Main bitch out of your league too, side bitch out of your league too" - His women are dimes

In RnB sure, but his stuff now leaves more to be desired. Especially after how spoiled we were with his earlier work off Trilogy.

So who is pretty fly for a white guy on here?

[Kingcarl24]

Weeknd has gone too pop, and emulates Michael Jackson too much. His newer songs are awesome the first few times you hear them, but they get old fast.

I really like Starboy. Daft punk gave him a great track.

I prefer Wanderlust, with Pharrell Williams. You hear that one yet (off Kissland album)

Good but I still prefer Starboy.

Weekend has gone with this techno-daft punk electronic vibe and I'm not feeling.

I wish he would stick to those airy, melodic beats from the trilogy, kiss land and BBTM.
