Frank Ocean is an up-and-coming artist and this is what he recently posted on his tumblr - http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6me6uSdO81qdrz3yo1_1280.png

The abridged version is on Digital Spy - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a391485/frank-ocean-on-sexuality-i-was-in-love-with-a-man.html

Very heart-warming, and a very important statement from someone in the Hip Hop community.

He currently features on the Watch The Throne album (No Church For The Wild) and has two songs out - Novacane and Swim Good, with an album coming out soon.

I actually love his material and CANNOT WAIT for his album and I applaud his courage and honesty. His little essay is heartbreaking.

Never heard of him until I read about him on Digital Spy (my fix of hard news before I start on Popjustice), but good on him.

Here's another case of coming out helping someone's non-existent career. Times have changed.

His career was NOT "non-existent". There was huge buzz about his album before he came out.

Exaggerating again? *sigh*

Find a new term babe. You're turning into a Madonna stan with that nonsense. Not only that, you're taking your cue from another loon. Come up with your own material. You also shouldn't be talking about exaggerating.

At the end of the day
It's a metaphor
Are you ageist?

:lmao:

With that being said, the majority never heard of him. That's a fact. This got him BIG PR, more PR than his music would have gotten him.

Yes, he received publicity from it, but his career was NOT non-existent.

Why can't you just try to make points without constantly exaggerating? It ends up making you look dumb and negating any point that you may or may not have.

Frank Ocean had HUGE buzz after writing great songs for Beyonce, Kanye West etc. Obviously he won't be a giant popstar like Lady Gaga but if you like hip hop and RnB you knew about him. And the whole coming out thing happened because a british journalist was about to publish something about him using 'he' instead of 'she' on his songs. He's a genuinely talented guy, I don't see the reason to bash him. Weren't you the one that wanted EVERYONE to come out anyway TickTock?

The album will take a while to sink in for me, as is usually the case with down-tempo R&B LPs. It's certainly very smooth and fresh though, with incredible vocals.

Bad Religion is so heartfelt.

I love Bad Religion. Not sure the rest is my cup of tea though. I hate 'slow jam R&B'stuff.

The album is like Lana's for me. The songs are lush on their own but back to back they bore me.
