Frank Ocean.
I have been pumping this album ever since I downloaded it. At first I was a bit confused, but after a couple of tracks I totally got into what his vibe is. And I love it. First of all, its very creative, his rap lyrics are very smart, and they always seem to catch me off guard, but I dig that about these new age un gangster rappers. They telling some mad stories. Frank is linked to the Odd Future mense. (WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL!) Which I must admit, I am a fan off. I appreciate their 'I dont give a fuck i like to rap about anything I can think of' attitude. Its refreshing to hear these kids rapping about their thoughts. Might be dark sometimes, but I appreciate the style, and the effort they put into their work.
Frank samples a whole lot of cool fucking songs for his nostalgia sounding album. Tracks featured include Coldplay, The Eagles, Radiohead, and MGMT believe it or not. This dudes got some awesome taste in music! Its definitely one of those albums that you have to listen to to really feel it. Not one track, but all. My favourite track off the album right now is 'we all try' – a pretty smooth layered track with potent vocals. Also, seeing that we on the topic of Mr Ocean, his song with Jay and Kanye 'No Church In The Wild' is a masterpiece in. I have nothing but love for that track. Find it and listen to it.
