Maybe in a technical sense but he sets a scene the same way Rocky does, Earl is more thematic and specific in his raps than the other two

more at stake to "lose" for others vs Frank whose independent / self-sustaining / checked out from the artist-industry cat + mouse game decades ago.

But that shouldn't be an excuse for the others. It's a question of morals at the end of the day and I think we learned a while back not to look for any "savior" when it comes to artists today ( @Scratchin_Bandit for this thread)

I see what you mean though think Frank is equally as lyrical as Earl, maybe not in raps tho we have a small sample size

I always found that comparison so lazy tho, and iirc it went both ways lol

no i certainly don’t expect any artist to specifically stand up but it’s more of a critique for the fans who still prop up certain artists and tear down others when THAT social justice, liberation, freedom, america schtick is apart of
their gimmick (i’ll call it that cuz if u not voicing when it matters then who cares)

crine why'd I get a youtube short on this very same thing

The hook of the new fakemink song is “I’m just a guy not a god”

here we go lol

Anyone have a link to cdq Endless played all the way through? The SoundCloud one I was using got removed

I know these posts are dumb af but if they actually have beef that's like your parents divorcing damn

this was news a year ago tbh

ah damn missed those cease and desist rumors hm. that's sad af if true

lmfaoooo i just came to post this

yeah they f***ing

Tonight

Those were about Carti

Pynchon’s reclusiveness makes Frank look like a popstar. With the recent deaths of McCarthy and Lynch - I’d say he’s the last of the great American chroniclers left.

Honestly, this is a very interesting comparison outside of the elusivity. They are both very American in their works yet break down and peel away two totally different languages of culture.

Googled “Frank Ocean Fakemink” and people thought they were f***ing?

the release of The Moment just reminded me….. WHERE IS THIS NIGGAS FILM?

@FrankOcean

Heard Frank is dropping the movie when we get this thread to 3,000 pages

if he wrapped filming it last year, im sure he will take forever to edit. optimistic guess is 2027 but i could see 2028

i’m praying twin.

Of course most likely it’s already been long scrapped lmao

Really don’t understand what’s going thru this guys head

The diary snippet is one of the catchiest hooks of the decade like he can’t seriously think he doesn’t have the juice

I’m not even like mad anymore I’m more just genuinely curious what his thought process is
