on some level it's smart that he doesn't say anything b/c i think he knows that social media outcry is mostly provisional and doesn't usually result in actual consequences other than people perhaps carrying some resentment around irl -- resentment that usually manifests in nothing but people's thoughts
and typically, responding to social media only fuels the fire take that weeknd/usher biz the other week -- the weeknd made some statement and it got bigger once he eventually acknowledged it via twitter, and now no one even cares bout that incident. frank just skips over the aggravation part of it, which i think usually works to his benefit
however, not demonstrating any responsibility towards his fans re: music and merch is silly, but he's an amoral dude he's got some money and power; he doesn't need to care (whether he should is a diff question)
will it last? i dunno. i don't think his allure will last forever tbh. the hype for those 2016 albums can't really be replicated because we genuinely didn't know his game at that time -- he was a relative newcomer w/ CO who decided to go very recluse afterwards, confusing many. now it's kinda expected and thereby less interesting
Hit it on the head. Like you can be lowkey but frank takes it to another level.
With blonde? lol shut up that boy ain’t never miss and unless you heard the next album then here is no one at to know.
Man hosted a queer party in Brooklyn, named it PrEP, invited whites only and had no respect for all the queer artists of color from the scene he’s appreciating for clout. He’s a leech
Oh and don’t get me started with his obsession with white people
This.
Frank ocean is a sellout

Yeah that was just using a name to throw some party and get press
if you drop two classic albums you get a pass if you drop two singles that aren't anything special. If the whole album is mid he will definitely be attacked.
The whole merch situation really the only thing he deserves criticism for,
and the plagiarism thing I'm not fully aware of, but isn't it in the BDC mag? that probably isn't very known cause only his hardcore fans have that
the most overrated artist of our generation, he's still good tho but his stans and internet critics really conviced us all of this narrative just because he's a homosexual and mysterious
No offense but Rocky isn’t really someone who exactly is underrated by any measure. I love both of them but tbh if you stanning someone like Rocky, idk if you have much room to talk about this

I dont stan rocky
And rocky is besides the conversation, frank is massively overrated, he is a very good artist but Internet blogs and his fans gas him up way too much, lets wait for his next album to rate him. He is far from being a goat, he lacks the career trajectory, not droppin s*** and being mysterious doesnt make you special.

Do you see him releasing music well into his 40s and 50s?

i have no idea what i see him doing even a year from now in the same way i have no idea what ye will be doing a year from now
@Cookies on a real note (im not attacking your stance at all im just curious), do you take issue with julian & the rest of the strokes plagiarizing Last Nite from tom petty's "american girl" and not giving credit? there are a lot of artists that do this in rock music and i feel as if it is typically just ignored tbh

He did takes some lyrics from Beatles songs, albeit interpolate
Literally took “spending each day of the year” and the harmony for 10 seconds and gave credit.
I think what OP is getting set are the covers he does which is a long-standing custom of The genre
Aside from that I have literally no clue what they’re talkin about
SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER
It was just in a script, but he took word for word a quote and didn’t give credit, making it seem like his
........ did cookies get hacked
Blonde is only polarizing for people who have no taste 100% certified classic in 2020
A bunch of artist delay their vinyl if you wanna go outrage with threads for them as well

With music I feel it’s different. I’m a believer of borrowing and “stealing” but with frank it was from his script that he stole something which I see diffrent. You can always put some thing in your own words
