Honestly I really wish the dude wasn't gay.. that's the only criticism I have for him

nostalgia ultra and channel orange are classic. i can't say much about these projects that hasn't already been said.

here's a few other songs where he raps



and a personal favorite

Acura Integurl is one of my favorite songs of all time

:heh:

Dude came out of the closet, dropped an album and then disappeared.

And there are plenty of R&B artists that have came out or who have been out since he dropped that fill his void and who aren't singing about nikkas while doing so.
Someone needs to find that thread about Frank Ocean and his coming of faq plus that leaked love letter

the comments in that thread were something beyond :cape:

He fukked up by coming out. He thought he'd be a trendsetter but nope. Ain't nobody wanna listen to a gay singer, especially the black community.

Freddie Jackson
Luther
Johnny Gill now

Technically they never came out but people pretty much knew/felt they were gay and still dug their music. The R&B crowd isn't as fickle as hip hop's.

He came out and still did numbers. Thinking of You was still a hit.

Always loved his music....Think he is or was really talented, and incredible artists......It's just crazy how Weeknd lapped him, and yes, they are different, Frank with more soul, Weeknd with more edge....but Frank, I don't know if he will ever come back....He needs to drop a critically acclaimed project to be more then a dude who had a great mixtape and a solid album 5 years ago.

The worse song on Beyonce's last album Frank Ocean was prominently involved

Great concepts and diverse subject matter but not music that you play over and over rand just relax too

So no thanks,

I agree. We All Try is fukking ridiculous.....

but he's been AWOL for 4 years ....I think he suffers from that Andre 3000 artistic bug

No denying his songwriting skills but he's not seeing The Weeknd or Miguel on the vocals

There are other more obscure cats like Johnny Rain who are putting out good material

I've yet to check Anderson Paak (beside Compton) but I will this week

Ty Dollar Sign, Elijah Blake, Breezy, Miguel, Abel, Trey and Kellz are enough for now

Considering the fact that dude has more talent in his pinky than 99% of dudes rapping AND singing.
