I’m being too deep for this forum rn but I hate these glossy words like opuses and generational artists, they’re just people who are expressing themselves like anyone else can, I think it’s especially bad when that’s leveraged against them to make a point of how lost they are and how much better they were, dystopian stuff that seems mean spirited

I know Deniro is HOT rn cause he have to drop these horrible movies because of his divorce

Frank don't need to do nothing he's out his contract

@yesac you're right

Bingo
Frank is doing what he wants to do not what he’s forced or expected to do

Every few months I check this thread to see if there are any updates or rumors. It really feels like it's over with him releasing music.

it’s wild to spin calling blonde a masterpiece as an insult to frank

i feel like you’re reading what I’m saying in the most affrontive way possible to frank. im thinking sympathetically I don’t know where dudes headspace is at but i can understand the pressure of following up that album especially in a world where feedback happens almost instantaneously and way before ppl can actually get a read on a project (see WLR)

as above I feel like you’re reading all this stuff as an affront in terms of the back half of this post lol

ya it’s beautiful to think of art as all expression and etc but clearly relatively speaking franks music connects with people at a more visceral and wider level than the vast vast majority of people expressing themselves through music and im sure that creates a level of burden in terms of that expression that makes it harder than just releasing music that is just expression and not meticulously mulled over

Frank didn’t do that BMW did

????????????

What? That was a literal BMW ad, none of that came from Frank

Bro what r u talking about

That’s not how that kinda thing works

No burden should exist, and he has never been burdened by it or any matter of public perception he just does different stuff, if the river ran dry he wouldn’t be doing his Homer stuff which was a big deal, I just disagree with the assertions on all levels

He got injured and the show had to be changed to accommodate that but an album was never coming he said it wasn’t on stage

with him D’Angelo Andre 3k Ye types they’re treated like Gods and put on a pedestal and what comes with that is praise but also leaning into parasocial infantilising readings into what they do, like the amount of times people say Ye “doesn’t care” about music or that he lost a spark when you can just say you don’t like what he’s making without making it some observation about a deep sadness inside him

Live Photo of Frank ocean doing what he wants

The official BMW IG using franks performance to market themselves is literally how advertising works

@NeonBuddy bro the reason I quoted your CO post last night was two reasons:

1. It was funny as F*** & so true &

2. A dude I sold my Blonde vinyl too kept telling me “Frank’s gonna drop a 10th anniversary vinyl for CO bro no way he is not” & I just had a face on the whole time. And lord behold, he aint do S*** LOL

I promise you that was at minimum signed off on by frank himself if not being an outright collaborative effort

This photo radiates peace

Omgggg ty for sharing 🥺 this is SO SWEET!!! And i have never seen this, omg so cute!!!!

It’s such a shame that he didn’t
