I'm more into rap than R&B, so I tend to prefer Weeknd's songs that also have a rapper. I love "The Gifted" (French Montana ft The Weeknd). I'm seriously pumped for Drake's new album.Avatar_Taxidous
I'm excited for that too, though I prefer Drake when he's more R&B than when he raps. Take Care was a great album, much better than his debut.Â

Most of the mainstream stuff is terrible.Â
I like rappers like J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Big K.R.I.T. Kendrick Lamar in particular has proven himself a lot with his debut album. He tells a great story of his hardships living in Compton. He doesn't smoke weed or drink. His lyrics usually always have meaning (see HiiiPower).
Sorry for calling out Drake, but he's a rapper who raps about money, cars & women. I admit some of his songs are catchy and he'll probably always be more popular than Kendrick and be more successful, sales wise. When it comes to lyrics, he's worse, without a doubt.Â
Kendrick Lamar is the best in the game right now. I really hope he changes rap for the better. The Weeknd changed the R&B game by introducing really dark and messed up themes based on his life. Plus, he's just a really good performer.Â
