Twenty Eight is called that because it's the 28th song in his Trilogy. The original versions of the 3 tapes only have 9 songs a piece. Glad you're getting the full versions. I know your views and everything are gonna increase off this. Depending on how it goes, XO is gonna flood your hours viewed, ma. We here for it.
I have listened to all his albums, up until dawn fm. I don't think there is even a single song that tops it. The party and the after party is his all time best . Hearing him sing it way before making it, cemented its spot for me. And the fact that its 7 minutes, makes me wonder how he managed to create it.
I like listening to the unmastered version of House of Balloons since it's still has a vintage sound to them. Plus the remastered versions removed the samples in What You Need and Coming Down
@@KimBTV you're welcome. I know every comment helps and you're covering my dude's work. Win Win. It'll probably be more than me coming around. Stay gorgeous, Kim.
Loft Music was a freestyle. He was just harmonizing like you said. He has another song called Gone you'll come to find on the next album that was a freestyle where he admits to being so Gone that he doesn't remember what he actually said in the booth lol
Gotta love dudes transitions... He basically mastered it. Party/After Party is great but the transition in that and into Coming Down is legendary and he uses it throughout most of his albums. You'll find more that are even better than these...
High For This is the perfect introductory song for people who are just getting into Abel. First words out his mouth is "you don't know what's in store, but you know what you're here for" and ppl talk to ppl enough about him to where ppl kinda know what to expect but don't have any idea lol
All of his music/albums are apart of a continuous story from first to final track. Every previous song leads into the next like the next page in a book. It's why he calls his albums "Chapters"
@@mehranafsarpanah3716 it isn't the demo version, the og version had aaliyah sample and it was on the mixtapes. The unreleased was never on the mixtape but it still bangs
You don’t like ( Glass table Girls) 🤦♂️ that’s my Fav of all time song! 😭 That’s Abel Life style at that time, Abel at the first half of the song he was singing his brain out & painting the picture of a Party, when everyone depressed Abel trying convince everybody this is Fun and they are Happy here ; Everyone drugged the Fuck out and people can’t even breathe because of the weed .. He was saying (If it Hurts to Breathe open the window; oh your mind wants to leave But you can’t go) which is metaphor for depression! { Second half of the song Glass table Girls 🤯 Abel just takes off bargain of the drugs his taking .. even he said during sex no doors closed so he can hear her eco screaming 😅😭😭😭😂 Abel I don’t how he come up with this idea but it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@KimBTV it's not the wrong version it's just that not many people listen to this original version of house of balloons. There is a remastered version that sounds a little different. Same with his other two mixtapes that are apart of Trilogy.
Honestly, the Weeknd was pretty much not on my radar, except for a couple of radio singles I like of is. It's been fun listening to his entire albums/mixtapes.
The Knowing is the very first song/video I ever heard from him. That song changed my life. Been a fan ever since that day in November 2011. I hate you edited out the part where he said "I'ma let you taste her. I ain't washing my sins." I wanted to see your reaction lol. Was she kissing him tasting her or was she sucking him tasting her lol. The level of Toxicity!
I don't like this version of What You Need. The original was haunting and pulls you in. Aaliyah Rock the Boat sample and Abel's distanced vocals was mesmerising and seductive
I didn't have much to say about it, but I did have to cut some of that portion of the video due to TH-cam/copyright. Some songs get flagged harder than others.

And here comes the XO fan base (me included)
This mixtape gave me life in one of the lowest points of my life. Will forever be grateful to him for creating this.
Thank you for sharing that.
I listened to the wrong version of "What You Need". My bad!
***Time Stamps are now in the description. 😊
Don’t worry that one still bangs
dont worry actually the one you listened is gonna be original and i like this more
Both fire
np that one is also good
You're the first person I've seen react to this version so if I weren't already subbed, I would off that alone
If you like the realism you're gonna love Kissland 🔥

next mixtape is Thursday
Let's gooooooooooo
The Morning (2011) - Cali is the mission
Snowchild from After Hours (2020) - "Cali was the mission but now a nigga leaving"
Full circle and growth.
House of Balloons - so dope of him to have performed this at the Super Bowl.
Glass Table Girls - the 707 is a large glass table for the coke lines.
I love to find new people reacting to this thank god for doing the original it’s so crisp 🙏🙏 entertaining to watch too you don’t just sit there
The Party and the After Party is one of the best songs I've ever heard. House of Balloons is a true classic! In my top 3 albums!!!

@@gregorio853 that song is just pure beauty... It was a mindfuck listening to it for the first time
she really played wicked games and said “this is coo ion really have much to say bout it.” 😲
I like listening to the unmastered version of House of Balloons since it's still has a vintage sound to them. Plus the remastered versions removed the samples in What You Need and Coming Down
Yes the original is wayyyyy better
He made classics and no skip projects. I promise this will be good in ANOTHER DECADE. ♥️ And at the time yes I was high for it. 🤣
Wicked Games was the "breakout single" from the tape. Classic
Just want to point out that Abel was 20 years old when he wrote this.
Vid hasn’t started but HOB will always be a W🙏
Mami, thank you for this! My favorite body of work from him overall (Trilogy as a whole, his three mixtape together remastered as a 30 track album)
Thank you for all your commentary! I really appreciate it and I've learned some things too!
@@KimBTV you're welcome. I know every comment helps and you're covering my dude's work. Win Win. It'll probably be more than me coming around. Stay gorgeous, Kim.

I love the way What You Need had you going. My mouth watered lol.
Wicked Games is my favorite song on the tape followed by HOB/GTG and Party and the After party BUT Twenty eight and Coming Down hit different
Same taste tho.
I’m so jealous your listening to this for the first time
All of his music/albums are apart of a continuous story from first to final track. Every previous song leads into the next like the next page in a book. It's why he calls his albums "Chapters"
Thursday next?? 🤣🤣😂😂 you bout to get hooked sis
I feel like I have to react to the whole discography at this point! LOL
I´ve never heard that version of "what you need" and I need it...It´s...what I need...
that's the original version of the song
@@mehranafsarpanah3716 Damn I had no idea, its not on spotify
@@mehranafsarpanah3716 wtf i thought that was the demo😭 and i thought the og version was the one with the intro that has aaliyah voice in it
yeah i just pinned a comment, cuz i listened to the wrong version. my bad!

I did, my bad. Thanks for letting me know. I just pinned a comment so people will know.

@@mehranafsarpanah3716 no its not, that’s just a remix
That was not the original version of What You Need...

The other What you need is darker and has a Aliyah sample from rock the boat

@@eldraque4695 it's the original one
Yo XO gang! Y'all show this cute ass DJ some love mayne! She so damn nice with em reactions. 💯
Thanks! The XO Gang has been so kind to me. I'm grateful.
I’m surprised you haven’t listened to wicked games it was prolly one of the most popular songs of 2011
Honestly, the Weeknd was pretty much not on my radar, except for a couple of radio singles I like of is. It's been fun listening to his entire albums/mixtapes.
Classiccccc weeknd man
i think you're not into alternative r&b, but listen to his whole discography, please!
That's exactly what I plan to. I'm enjoying the experience. :)
The Knowing is the very first song/video I ever heard from him. That song changed my life. Been a fan ever since that day in November 2011. I hate you edited out the part where he said "I'ma let you taste her. I ain't washing my sins." I wanted to see your reaction lol. Was she kissing him tasting her or was she sucking him tasting her lol. The level of Toxicity!
What version of "what you need" is this? Never heard this one before
I think it's the demo version I had downloaded by accident.
you listened to the wrong version of what you need
Yes
I prefer that version of what you need too, nice reaction!
React to the rest of trilogy!
Thank you for watching, yeah I think I may end up reacting to The Weeknd's entire discography at this point!
The knowing video gives it a whole new feel
Next the Thursday mixtape let's go
Thursday and Echoes of Silence next
Where you found that "what you want" remix? .Never heard that one before. 😊
It was somewhere here on TH-cam.
I don't like this version of What You Need. The original was haunting and pulls you in. Aaliyah Rock the Boat sample and Abel's distanced vocals was mesmerising and seductive
You Are So pretty Omg
He's what you want I'm what you need 😌😏
You gotta do Thursday echoes of silence
What about wicked games? I might know why u’ve cut the reaction👀
I didn't have much to say about it, but I did have to cut some of that portion of the video due to TH-cam/copyright. Some songs get flagged harder than others.
XO gang. Automatic subscribe. XOTWOD 🖤 🖤
Next react to Thursday then Echoes of Silence
You’re great! ♥️❌⭕️
