LimpyLoo Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_KwwluMijE Everyone's been trying to get me into Frank Ocean. Am I missing something? My impression as of right now is that he's just another dude that needs auto-tune to sell records. Edited February 11, 2013 by LimpyLoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 every time someone mentions Frank Ocean, I'm like "fuck yeah! play some Billy Ocean!" and then I have to back up and reprocess their statement, and ultimately recant my enthusiasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_KwwluMijE Everyone's been trying to get me into Frank Ocean. Am I missing something? My impression as of right now is that he's just another dude that needs auto-tune to sell records. He can actually sing - that's the problem. Trey Parker has mentioned that in the auto-tune episode of South Park he had to make himself not hit notes to actually make the effect worth. It was a bad idea to try the auto-tune effects live. As for his stuff - it's ok. http://youtu.be/s7HyAJAQuXc The one track they keep playing on the radio here is pleasant, but it's R&B and apparently everyone is jizzing all over that lately. I'm already tired of it. He's still a class act compared to most of the other assholes at the Grammys. Carrie Underwood, all American "good ole girl" and singer of "Jesus Take The Wheel" wore a fucking $31 million dollar necklace. The media lives off Chris Brown, a woman beating homophobic shitbag who assualted Frank Ocean a week or two ago. It's a circle jerk insisting it's own importance. A crappy performance by a talented person who I'm personally apathetic to doesn't mean anything to me.

Goiter Sanchez Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) She could've bought all the remaining GX-1s, and pretty much every other synthesizer ever made. But no... Waste of good drill-bits if you ask me. Edited February 12, 2013 by Goiter Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 my mother thought it important to email me her review of his performance at 7AM today subject line: EMPEROR OCEAN HAS NO CLOTHES!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 dude has *a lot* of gay appeal. That alone will catapult him into an echelon of popularity that someone without gay appeal wouldn't be able to achieve. I've heard he's come out as being bi-sexual and perhaps this is why he has so much gay appeal, not really sure. I just know all my gay friends love him and think he's one of the greatest musicians of all time, the same ones who were obsessed over Lady Gaga for a year Fuck the ocean and the grammis, watch this instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knf72HY41w4 i'm a kraftwerk fan but this was kinda shit. They've been milking the same non-live show for almost 2 decades. At this point the blueman group is almost equally respectable, which is saying a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candiru Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The best song on his album, Sweet Life is like a Stevie Wonder song and I like it. I'll just listen to more Stevie Wonder and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 don't ask me; I was watching the walking dead. the only thing I've heard from frank ocean is when he was on saturday night live, and I rather enjoyed it. probably not enough to get his album, though.

patternoverlap Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 yeah most just get it on loan, most of the time for free, if they mention the jeweler or whatever to the media. free publicity. free jewels for the night, everyone wins.

Npoess Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I think Frank Ocean is the perfect example, that music review outlets are more concerned with the image of a artist, rather than the actual music, when they give album scores.

pierlu Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wow is that serious? He playing a keytar and she wearing a run dmc t-shirt clearly states they're comedians. innit?

solarion Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 it's definitely an image thing putting him at ZOMG #1 ALBUM on a bunch of lists for Channel Orange, but assuming he's actually doing the heavy lifting for the songwriting I reckon he's got his best work ahead of him. personally I hope he gets all disillusioned with the music industry and does a Swordfishtrombones.
