Frank Ocean was unknown to many at the beginning of this year. In February his mixtape Nostalgia,Ultra was passed around like pipping hot HPV, no seriously everyone heard of Frank O, then his cosigning on Watch The Throne and features with fellow weirdo, Tyler the Creator? People knew he was a star on the rise. His first video to Novocane was an utter and complete tease with a little bit of this, little bit of that and he decided to follow it with this one?
I know Frank Ocean is a different individual on the edge of creativity, steady pushing the boundaries. However, there is a difference between capturing the audiences' attention and trying too hard to hold onto the new hotness. This right here... is NOT the new hotness. It's just a random video with type C iPhone videography, the staple Panda hat (sort of cute), an ugly orange stretch limo, Ninja Ocean and images a this "her". There are so many ways he could have taken this video so it could have been a hit instead of a distant splash, so many lines that could have been drawn so gracefully but weren't...
Blah.
Still love you though.
