A lot can change in ten years, just ask The Weeknd. The Canadian crooner was relatively unknown at the start of 2011, and by the time the 2010s concluded, he was one of the biggest pop stars in the world. A decade ago, the recent Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner crept up out of obscurity with the release of House of Balloons, followed by Thursday and Echoes of Silence. As The Weeknd’s trio of breakthrough mixtapes reach milestones this year, the well-received tapes are in good company. Hard-to-forget projects from Tyler, the Creator, Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and others are turning 10 in 2021 also. Check out the oldies, but goodies below.
