Frank Ocean - Nostalgia/Ultra

It's good, isn't it?

Quite.

yikes

The yikes was good, I loved the yikes. A one-syllable moment of horrified self-awareness.

was a whole load of discussion about this on rolling r&b

So there is - interesting stuff too

PS moley, if you don't know, Ocean is also on Tyler's single She:

A great appearance in that vid btw!
Anyway, I love 'songs for women' so much. The little details such as his girlfriend visiting him in the studio, throwing her purse down and battle rapping him, blasting Drake and Trey Songz in Frank's car to his chagrin etc 'Novacane' and 'Swim Good' top notch too.

I've been listening to this and Lloyd's King of Hearts (note: not a REAL R&B fan). Can anyone recommend new stuff that is similar?

I had novacaine on repeat for days. Such a good storyteller.

the weeknd?

that's torn it

I said REAL R&B!

only joking. I like(d) The Weeknd.

i really love the "she" hook

nostalgia/ultra is a pretty ingratiating album but i'm really excited for whatever material is upcoming now that he has the cache to get back to working w/ big time producers

He must be so much richer than the rest of the Odd Future guys

i think he's had money for a while

he's raking in the Beyonce dough now.

this is from tyler's interview with elliot wilson

How did Frank Ocean get into the picture?

I talked to Frank on the phone for like two hours once before I even knew him; he was picking my brain because he liked what he was seeing, and he was signed to Def Jam. When we met, he’d come by the studio and watch us work. We just started kicking it. He’s like an older brother. I’d introduce him to shit like skateboarding and us doing mischievous shit like yelling at people and throwing eggs. He introduced me to rich-nigga shit. He was doing the good life, driving a fuckin’ Beemer and doing cool shit I’ve never seen, going to weird-ass restaurants and just changing some of my views. Like now, I want to make a million by 23, shit like that. That’s my deal. I stay in contact with him every day.

+ two appearances on Watch The Throne

wish i could afford to go to some weird-ass restaraunts

ha, was just thinking I would totally go to weird-ass restaurants w/ Frank Ocean

this album is the #1 album ive heard people playing on the radio in the cars when they drive by my apartment

what's #2?

wow... I would NOT have guessed that! which do you prefer?

When is the actual album released? I am struggling to Google this.

Don't think there's been any real news has there?

Actually it seems like the repackaged EP comes out tomorrow

would respect Ocean forever if he sampled "Impulsive."

not sure how true this is -- i can't even find a tracklist anywhere, tho who knows really

yeah, there's nothing on itunes or spotify or amazon

his last post on tumblr said it wasn't coming out on the 26th anymore but didn't say when it was

Weird-o-rama. So was Max goofing about hearing people play it? Or does he live in some super blog-friendly mixtape-blasting neighborhood?!

ra-di-o

i never goof

What radio stations are playing this?! I live in the wrong dimension.

i've heard it on 2

novacane is getting radio play in a lot of places

also max lives in brooklyn iirc so yes

I heard it today on the shuttle! A student told her boyfriend: "I'm listening to the new Usher."

its getting play on hot 97 in NYC. and yeah i live in brooklyn

I've heard it on the radio here in Seattle too.

The coda (if that's what it is) to American Wedding, is my favourite conclusion to a song this year.

will be funny of Frank gets sued over the shittiest song on the album

Really want to see Don Henley get a pie in the face - or a punch in the nose - over this bullshit.

He (They) threatened to sue if I perform it again. I think that’s fuckin awesome. I guess if I play it at coachella it’ll cost me a couple hundred racks. If I don’t show up to court, it’ll be a judgement against me & will probably show up on my credit report. Oh well. I try to buy my shit cash anyway. They also asked that I release a statement expressing my admiration for Mr. Henley, along with my assistance pulling it off the web as much as possible. Shit’s weird. Ain’t this guy rich as fuck? Why sue the new guy? I didn’t make a dime off that song. I released it for free. If anything I’m paying homage.

Tyler, The Creator

ha, otm

"hotel california" is 10x more respectable than any of tyler's creative output tbf

jord s otm

my instinct is to ban chilli even though s/he might be specifically otm

mom-rock uber alles

"respectable"?

anyway nothing Henley has done in his private life -- which I don't normally give a shit about it when it comes to artists -- has made me change my impression that he's a loathsome person.

Ocean's just announced he's supporting Coldplay on their European stadium dates. That Strawberry Swing remake paid off then.

it would be cool if at the end of the tour, coldplay ordered him to stop performing it and release a statement expressing his admiration for chris martin

ha

henley is an o.g. dirtbag, dude did the kind of awful things those odd future lightweights only write songs about

One of you smart guys should create a wikipage devoted to "Don Henley - Atrocities"

ha sh1p

Not really, but it's his only good album.
