    for sure, I think the difference is how Frank contextualized his love for material items against his emotions on something like Blonde. Like on White Ferrari for example he doesn't make the Ferrari as blatant as a regular celeb would because he basically makes the object a footnote/texture within his emotional moment, ya know?

    Yeah I got you

    But as I’ve said earlier itt, Frank never gave off these “typical obnoxious rich guy” vibes, that’s true

    He’s always been tasteful about his wealth and showcasing it but the materialistic s*** was still there

    I’m not saying it would, but it could. If there was other life out there that discovered the planet’s ruins, precious metals are more likely to survive than music.

    You’ve gotta understand, creative people are doing anything they can to live on past their own lives.

    You can be rich and still emotionally grounded and relatable though? Also I dont think Frank ever hid from materialistic s***? If people make imaginary pictures of him in their heads then its not his fault or problem

    people gotta stop demonizing riches and success

    keep worshiping celebrities like a weirdo cornball

    im just saying between albums ye is insanely vulnerable & entertaining, for better or for worse. he lets his shield down, especially in interviews and people actually can see who he is and what he thinks outside of his lyrics. his music is a soundtrack to his actual life. id bet the majority of his fans are fans of him as a person just as much as they are of his music

    frank is the opposite, and therefore his fans put a lot of stake about his character through microscopically a***yzing his music. clearly the false reality they have created isnt lining up, hence why this thread is still going. his aesthetic made all these fools believe he was some social/political communist savant, when in reality he is a insanely talented musician who is aims to reap the most cheddar through his talents

    ppl are writing this off as they should bc we were the dumbassess but i’ll say this

    he meant a lot to black and brown non heterosexual men who were still masculine in their identity

    that coming out open letter broke boundaries. ppl hate to admit but odd future meant a lot to the 18-25 crowd on here and when this songwriter who was making waves during the peak of his career decides to come out, it was huge.

    that’s why when we see LNX it kinda hurts bc it seems to be run off controversy and clicks instead of actually making space for black and brown youth to be unconditionally queer.

    i’ve seen this trajectory going for a long time but i’ll just say that frank can do whatever he wants hé a grown ass man. it was just disappointing to see his art cater to rich white folk more than anything lol
