FRANK OCEAN



FRANKY BABY!!!!! Wussup Readers? Today I’m gonna go with my boy Frank Ocean YEAH’ (in my Trey Songz voice…lol). I’m a fan of Frank’s music simply because he stays in his own lane & he has his own style. I can only inspire other artists to find their own groove so that they can stand out & I can only aspire to do the same. Now-a-days a lot of the new music all sounds the same and people get so caught up in the majority of what everyone else likes, that they miss the REAL music in Creative Artistry.  I mean the guy is “Extraordinary” and “Different” as opposed to what the industry has to offer today. His vocals are AMAZING & his writing skills are OFF THE CHAIN, equipping him with the total package. I can appreciate music like this because when I listen to it I’m pulled right into his world of creativity, a world that many will label “WEIRD”, but I think he’s a Genius, besides, what is “Normal” anyway?  I’ve been listening to his mix tape Nostalgia/ULTRA” for the last 3 days and overall I rate it 4 stars out of 5. I mean he could do without the profanity on a few songs, but for the most part he’s a TRUE artist. Although I like all the songs on his mix tape, I do have a few favorites that I recommend to everyone. Songs like “Swim Good”“We All Try”, “There Will Be Tears”, & “American Wedding” are a few to name. This man definitely has a gift and the scary thing is he’s only going to get better.  In my opinion, I think he’s in the TOP  5 of BEST R & B male artists of 2011. He has to be DOPE if he featured on Jay-Z & Kanye’s “Watch The Throne” album!!! If you don’t believe me, hear him for yourself on YouTube or Google him!  And if you don’t think so…Let it be known. #BOOM!!!
