Lmao blond didn’t shift pop music in any way that pet sounds didn’t already in 1966

Blond doesn’t get enough hate for just being a pet sounds reboot tbh

Frank is the DEFINITION of mysterious music, cultivating an artsy aesthetic to hide the complete lack of substance in his albums. He is also a craven shameless capitalist who scams his fans. Him and Tyler are cut from the same disgusting cloth.

It's not like other artists are going to come out and randomly say they think Frank Ocean is s***, the music industry doesn't work like that (or any creative industry really)
Also a lot of Frank Ocean's associates like Rocky, Tyler, Tame Impala, etc. are just as bad as him, so of course they'd think he was great

Fraud Ocean has gone completely overboard with the mysterious shtick — after Endless Interludes and Yawnde, he disappeared off the face of the earth to play into the “Aliens came to earth before Frank Ocean dropped album. 😂” NPC tweets to preserve whatever brand that may be.

Not only does he scam his fans with mid merch ($175 for Gildan printed hoodies that take 2 years to ship), the only thing he has released in the last 5 years is some mysterious spoken word interlude on his mysterious radio show and some venture capitalist payola luxury jewelry brand to scam other celebrities.

Unfortunately, it may be over, but at least Channel Borange was pretty fye for a few years!

Just looking up "artists who have praised Frank Ocean" and I don't see anyone worthwhile here, at least not anyone who has made good music contemporaneously to them praising Frank

Brian Eno, David Byrne, A.R. Kane, Kevin Shields, Paul Banks, Flea, Neneh Cherry and likes of Maxwell praised Frank Ocean

not all of them industry people you're implying to. if you're looking specifically for contemporaries, define "good contemporaries"
