When people talk about new RnB music, either The Weeknd or Frank Ocean comes up. IMO Miguel is better than both of them, and underrated in the R&B scene. He can sing better, has better range & tone than The Weeknd & Frank Ocean, and writes & produces better songs than them. Why do you think Miguel doesn't get as much love as Frank Ocean & The Weeknd even though Miguel gets rotation on the radio and they don't?

    I just downloaded all of the Art Dealer Chic EPs he released for free. Even though they're only 9 songs combined, they're all solid! Miguel was also on Lotus Flower Bomb with Wale, and that's Wale's biggest hit to date

    you should have put "? Is Mine" up there to but its simple really weekend&frank ocean us the net to there advantage more people us the net to listen&get music than the radio hell idk any of my friends who even still listen to radio its either Cds or Ipods mostly Ipods plus weeknd has drake co-signing him&Frank Ocean has Odd Future...Miguel has no one co-signing him besides his label and this is the age of the independent artist so you know the label co-signing him aint much help he also rarely drops mixtapes where Weeknd&Frank Ocean have dropped multiple mixtapes

    But Miguel dropped 3 free EPs this year that was independent. But I feel what your saying with the iPods and internet.

    even so he doesnt push his own ? his record label does you never see migual on twitter or fb campaigning like weeknd or frank ocean does actually frank doesnt have to campaigin every one knows his one of the best rappers in the group along with earl&tyler which is basically who people really be feeling&weeknd gets featured on so much drake ? it might as well be his song not drakes not to mention drake admitted weeknd taught him his style of singing he uses listen to drake then the weeknd right after you can tell drake is super influenced by him....whose migual really influencing when is he campaiging he doesnt cause he depends on his label which is a bad thing to do in this era of music mostly every rapper&singing out is independent well the new ones anyway

    Interesting perspective. So talent wise, would you say Weeknd & Ocean >>> Miguel? Just based off talent alone and nothing else?

    outa the 3 of them, i agree. weeknd only has one sound & frank ocean's voice isn't strong. sound like he's talkin most of the time. if anything miguel is the most versatile/better overall artist.

    Word thats what I think too. Miguel's seems like he's here for the long run and making music for longevity. As well as dabbling in production & songwriting

    He's got the most potential

    I like how Miguel is all over the radio with no co-sign from anyone. In these times where a co-sign is 'necessary' its refreshing to just see talent rise on their own
