it took me a long ass time to process what was going on. this is all completely over my head...
Naw bro, I can't necessarily cosign that cuz Channel Orange was dope. I think the issue here is with the overt display of sexuality in the video and the explicitly suggestive lyrics. Everyone is free to express their love for whomever, but this song and video was downright distasteful and contained no redeeming artistic value. I'd compare it more to Nicki Minaj's release of "Lookin' Ass nikka" earlier this year moreso than Frank Ocean cuz my issue is that while lil homie has the right to express himself freely (as did Nicki with Malcolm on the cover art), he's doing so at the expense of artistic integrity (unless you consider "boy p*ssy" to be a dope metaphor).
As I mentioned in an earlier post, it's really got me rethinking some things, particularly where the lines between 'shock value' and equal rights are blurred. How can I accept this behavior from heterosexuals but have opposition to the behavior from homosexuals? But even still I'm conflicted, because what if this were a love song about two consenting homosexuals that was not overtly misogynistic or explicit? How would I feel then? I don't quite know the answer on that one, but I can say with certainty that while Ocean's "Forrest Gump" was not for me, it did have redeeming artistic value.
This is not an indictment against you dude, I typically agree with a lot of your posts, but we can't blame this one on Frank.

Easy for an outsider to tell fatherless kids in the slums to not be impressionable.Maybe you shouldn't be so impressionable so you won't have to worry about agendas emasculating or teaching you things.
