This man literally funded his venture off of money he received from fans who purchased expensive merchandise that he still hasn’t shipped It’s so disgusting talking about how you read luxury magazines seeing things you couldn’t afford and talking down on that condition, only to open a firm that literally pursues the same business point of artificial pricing. You couldn’t even address the trouble you’ve caused your fan base but instead talk about how you only don’t own a yacht because you get seasick.

There’s absolutely no regard for the people who came and gave you this platform of acclaim

His journey into what he calls “hard goods” began with a stint of bohemian DIY in LA in 2019, when he moved a group of 20 craftsmen friends into his house for his “Summit”, a secretive collective dedicated to developing designs. The house was virtually empty, surrounded by an expanse of land. Ocean’s concept was to use the time for experimentation: “We had everyone from horticulturalists to electrical engineers and architects, carpenters and metalworkers. We made tables and chairs, wired the lighting, then started working on other things for the house.”

This entire artistic process seems to be a delusional and frivolous exercise in materialism that’s only furthered by the fact that he totally jipped his extremely dedicated fan base on things that they bought from him

And the entire artificial expensiveness of this HOMER s*** is even more disgusting. How do you do this stuff knowing your audience will not be those who came to you when you released nostalgia ULTRA or Channel ORANGE but rather rich snobs who have nothing better to spend their money on than lab grown diamonds.

It’s like there’s a level of greed being satiated in this business move and not an artistic desire. The pieces aren’t even anything worth writing home about and are a total derivative of KAWS and Murikami and Nigo’s work

i just want new music man what’s this silly goose doing

op mad he can’t afford diamonds

Meh. If he releases more music eventually IDC what he does outside of it

I understand that artists don’t inherently owe their fan base anything but this man literally scammed thousands of people to fund a vision that none of those people could access

What the f***? What the f*** can we do ? We can’t support this

What the f*** is the value of a diamond

What is the average frank fan gonna do with what he’s pursuing here

that subreddit should actually sue him now

Y’all really let these mysterious music fake deep artists trick you into thinking they give a damn about you

Blonded Radio : Luxury Edition

Soon come

never bought s*** from him

also, as a black artist, you are not allowed to venture into anything but screen printed gildan tee shirts or else you get kids on forums talking down on you like this.

Ain’t that deep

Refund your order and don’t buy merch from Frank Ocean

???

You’re gonna excuse this man making god knows how much money off of kids of all races buying his s*** only to not deliver and put that money into a business that caters only to rich folk who will Probably end up being white ?

theres plenty of black artists that have worked on luxury products, but at least they deliver their products

i understand op's feelings about this, considering his lackluster customer service

disgusting thread

Capitalists gonna capitalize

This is a kanye west forum so ur wrong

Damn him for doing what he wants to do

I’d have no problem with what he’s doing if he didn’t totally blindside everyone who bought his s***, and then used that money to venture into places that those people who contributed can’t access

of course

he's just going the route of jay-z and kanye west, becoming the elite

Salute

Has Frank ever given an indication that he cares about his fans?
