Frank Ocean owned 2012 because he came out gay breh, if not the only people checkin for his album were black folks. .
the album was universally acclaimed. and went gold.. sure coming out gave him more buzz but the music spoke for itself.. you don't see lil b selling anything cuz he sucks.

It became universally acclaimed because cacs liked it, especially when he said he was gay before the album dropped and before they had to do reviews of his album. A white hispter at my job that doesn't listen to RnB copped the album in part because he came out and all these different white music reviews were co-signing. Don't underestimate him coming out gay and the critically acclaimed success and record sales among white people. None of them white folks was jammin Novocaine when it was a single.

Pyramids and sweet life were getting critical acclaim and were released before he came out.

Nostalgia Ultra also got good reviews

it's amazing. I hope this is isolated to rap message boards and people don't actually think like this in real life :snoop:

If blacks all of a sudden dominated the country and pop genres and were snagging all the awards and acclaim and whites were falling off in popularity and sales in those genres you wouldn't notice right? :stopitslime:

but that isn't what's happening. Hip Hop and R&B is still very much a black thing. This Ariana Grande girl isn't changing shyt like..what are you guys talking about? I know the sudden emergence of Macklemore has ya'll thinking white people are taking over, but lets look at the best selling Hip Hop albums of 2013..


Magna Carta
Good Kid Maad City
MMLP 2
Nothing Was The Same
The Heist
Born Sinner
Yeezus
I Am Not a Human BEing II
The Gifted
Long. Live. ASAP


that's 2 white people on a list of 10, and if I stretched it to 20, Mac Miller would be the only other white person on the list with Watching Movies with the Sound Off..

Yep. Young black folks gotta revive that Earth, Wind, and Fire type of R & B and get over the label of simping. No Rappers, no Hip Hop production, NOTHING that fukks up the quality R & B.

Alicia Keys wishes she could sing as good as The GAWDDESS Ariana. :heh:
When Alicia first started... this GAWDDESS you speak of wasn't touching Alicia's music



Yes, age hit Alicia and her voice started to crumble, but let's not pretend Alicia couldn't blow

Her first two albums are classics

She could never sing as well as Ariana so you have no point.
