bro if you've been playing biking solo exclusively like me these past few years and havent touched the og i implore you to go back and listen to the little harmonization/layered vox thing he does @ 1:09 that for some reason he chose to leave off solo version....endorphins in audio form
lmfao im bullshitting
running joke in this thread and site-wide is saying an album is dropping tn when its clearly not
I caught on
I remember the night Pyramids dropped & the entire music world was in absolute shock at what had just happened. I remember Twitter buzzing out, blogs were in awe and Frank was the biggest artist in the world. Almost a decade later & that track has yet to age nor even be compared in terms of scale and content. He really broke down the social foundation of the African American woman centuries apart in the span of a sizzling 10 minutes.
Nigga I was there also and it was not that crazy of a reaction. Relax.

Which part is an overreaction? The critical acclaim, how it was universally praised by everyone?
From over 35 outlets, global critic aggregator Acclaimed Music went on to rank "Pyramids" the 10th greatest song of the 2010s
Complex Magazine named it track "song of the week" upon release. Complex later named the song the fourth best song of 2012
Siân Rowe of NME compared the track to Prince's "Purple Rain" and reported that the song "is the kind of track you’ll lose hours and hours of your life to. This week alone, NME has spent at least two days having our minds freaked on by its space funk swirl."
Pitchfork's Evan Minsker labeled it a "Best New Track
Melissa Locker of Time called it a "tour de force" and "a ten-minute history of R&B, arcing from club thumping beats to a sultry drawn out jam with Ocean's voice veering from a velvety croon to an endearingly creaky falsetto
(All from Wikipedia / before you come up with a clever “wrote all this” response)
If you can refresh your memory I’m sure you’ll be able to adequately recall that a track of this caliber coming from a guy who was just on Watch The Throne & reeling off the mega Odd Future hype could and did stir this sort of reaction.

You on crack my guy. I love the song but no one over reacted to the song.
The only thing was Frank saying he trolled people by releasing a 10 min song.

Frank & Miguel were the biggest artists that summer and Pyramids was as big as he’s saying. Im pretty sure it premiered during an awards show too

He teased the song in the CO Trailer for the first time which was played as a TV spot
