I was at that performance. Amazing night, amazing album and era.

Comes out of the closet
3 years of radio silence
Then he releases an album full of songs with mysterious lyrics about nothing pandering to straight men and women instead of addressing his sexuality

an "lgbt icon"

Endless gave my uncle the courage to come out and Blonde gave me the courage to marry him.

All time classic fr

Did you even ever listen to Blonde lmao

Yes. If any straight artist released an R&B album that had as few references to women as Blonde does men, people would start questioning their sexuality. He was scared of offending straight people and losing their sales so he kept it to a few lines/skits and filled the rest of the album with evocative gibberish to distract them. Money is more important to him than integrity. That's why he's quit music entirely to sell $1 million dollar platinum a*** beads and scam his fans

Generational classic. Definitely one of the most impactful album from last decade. The amount influence this album had on other artists is pretty crazy

Also the wait between channel orange to blonde seem a lot longer than the one now for some reason

he scammed me

I know you’re trolling but Nice Guy as a simple example is literally about him being on a date in a Gay Bar

Retired artist Frank Ocean dropped his last album 8 years ago.

One of the greatest albums of all time, I can't imagine how much work it took to make it feel so loose and conversational, feels like a total stream of consciousness

Witnessing Blonde hit the internet in real time is a top OG moment

damn 8 years

timeless record

We really woke up on a bright summer day of August 8 years ago not knowing that we were getting a second FO album the day after he already gave us one. S*** sounds like a fever dream

It's a one minute skit and it's actually called Good Guy. You can't even remember the names of the same-sex love songs and you want to tell me it was an important part of the album?

I also want to point out that the song doesn't explicitly identify his date as a man, and Frank is exactly the kind of person to take a woman to a gay bar for a date

I think this means Blonde is better than Channel Orange?

It begins to blur we get older

Album of a lifetime

Timeless classic.

This album will never age, there’s nothing else that sounds like it

agreed

Seigfried out now
Good Guy out now
Endless out now

Anyway I wrote an essay on Seigfried it's a very important song to me

just shut the f*** up
