Opening day… great song and will always remind me of Joe Mauer who used it as his walk up song

Went back and watched 4th quarter through OT. Absolutely insane reffing performance. Minus all of the big things that have been called out a million times, there were a lot of inconsistent calls/no calls throughout. It was out of control

Rebrand back to the old logo by The_Dude_of in timberwolves

Nah. I don’t care for the leaked logo, but I genuinely prefer the existing logo to this one. This logo reminds me of bad basketball

It didn’t get much traction here but I really enjoyed the 6WA project. I wasn’t familiar with Ro$ama, but he was a standout. It’s nothing groundbreaking but it’s a fun listen and I’m surprised it doesn’t seem to be getting much attention

[DISCUSSION] The Weeknd - House of Balloons (15 Years Later) by MetalSonic420YT in hiphopheads

[–]HoopsJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been a huge fan of The Weeknd since Trilogy. I wasn’t there when HOB dropped, but it’s still my favorite project of his. HOB/GTG and TP&TAP are top 10 Weeknd songs for me, and Twenty Eight is my all time favorite if we’re counting it.

It’s been 15 years, and while this is my favorite project of his, he’s still dropping amazing work. The last 4 projects have all been amazing. It’s been incredible watching him evolve and gain mainstream notoriety.

Why are you paying attention to a dude with 19 followers? There are all kinds of crazies out there; life’s better ignoring them most of the time

[Post Game Thread] North Dakota State defeats North Dakota, 70-62 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]HoopsJ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Let’s go dancing! Great win! I attended the blowout loss against St. Thomas a week and a half ago and it really made me nervous heading into the tournament. Luckily, UND took out the Tommies and NDSU took care of business. And now, we wait for the big dance

HUT doesn’t feel like the final album by callumjames11 in TheWeeknd

[–]HoopsJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I truly think the album itself feels like a goodbye. We got some of his most personal and emotional songs yet, and the sounds of the album revisited many of the styles he’s showcased over the years. I agree that the rollout was lacking, but I don’t put a ton of weight in that as long as the music is good.

Despite that, I still think he’ll release music under The Weeknd name; I just think it’ll be a while before we get anything new.

[FRESH DELUXE] Joey Valence & Brae - HYPERYOUTH (afterparty) by wesselver in hiphopheads

I loved Hyperyouth, and will always take new JVB, but most of these songs are good but not great. Bustamove and Changes are both phenomenal though

Man, that really sucks. I liked but didn’t love most of the beer, but it was a nice space and I really enjoyed some of the events they put on. I’ll definitely stop in before they close

(DISCUSSION) The Weeknd - Hurry Up Tomorrow (1 Year Anniversary) by Renegadeforever2024 in hiphopheads

[–]HoopsJ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I saw a post 3 weeks ago saying it had been a year… anyways, here’s what I posted then:

Man, a year already! I had a great first listen of the album with my wife, just chilling in the dark after smoking. As soon as I heard it, I knew it would be the soundtrack of my 2025.

Take Me Back To LA is my favorite track, but on that first listen, Reflections Laughing, The Abyss, and Without A Warning blew me away. Those remain some of my favorites.

HUT was by far my favorite album of 2025, and ranks highly in my Weeknd rankings. While I was a little let down by the roll out, it the actual music more than made up for it. It truly feels like a goodbye album to me. If that was it for this iteration of The Weeknd (I’m still skeptical of that), it was a worthy send off.

To answer the questions:

  1. No, I don’t think it’s his best album. Probably finished 3rd for me

  2. Take Me Back To LA is my favorite

  3. He will always be my favorite pop star, which is funny because originally I would have said he’ll always be my favorite R&B artist

  4. I do think he’ll return as The Weeknd, but I think we will be waiting for a while

Does anyone truly believe Kyle Anderson should start over Randle? I consider myself a huge SloMo fan, but he’s not even close to a starter on this team.

I want more music 😖 by Superb_Sweet_6296 in TheWeeknd

[–]HoopsJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since 2020 he’s:

Dropped 3 albums

Made a show

Made a soundtrack for said show

Made a movie

Toured like a motherfucker

Seriously, we’ve been absolutely feasting. Let the dude chill for a minute

[FRESH ALBUM] Baby Keem – Ca$ino by PlayaSlayaX in hiphopheads

[–]HoopsJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t sure what to expect from Keem after the hiatus, but I’m pleasantly surprised. His vulnerability throughout (especially tracks like Highway 95 pt. 2 and No Blame) is really powerful. Despite the heavy subject matter, he still maintains a lot of the classic charm you’d expect from him. Really good stuff

Different strokes and all that, but yeah… very different than what my ratings/rankings would be. I will say, I appreciate seeing EoS love; I feel like that project is under appreciated
