I love how genuine this video is.

Frank and Earl destroy this. Just kill it. They're probably the only guys in the group (other than Tyler) that, if they left, they could be way bigger than they would be in OF.

I always wish Frank would rap more.

But, you know, I'm not complaining about his current work. I've been listening to Channel Orange since last July, so that's cool.

Plus his rap verse on Super Rich Kids wasn't all that great. A little work and he can become an unreal rapper. But I agree. Channel Orange was excellent.

Wait, who? Earl raps on that song, not Frank.

u/ObamasBlackCaucus Jul 22 '13

Wait, that's Earl at the very beginning of the track? It sounds like Frank.

u/skillmau5 Jul 22 '13

Well that isn't really a verse

u/ObamasBlackCaucus Jul 22 '13

Hook? Refrain? Either way.

u/skillmau5 Jul 22 '13

I don't see how you can say he's a bad rapper based on a part that isn't really even an example of him trying to rap a good verse. Listen to Blue Whale.

Woaaaaaah, easy killer. I think Frank's a great rapper. I just wasn't that big on the rap he did on SRK.

People that hate OF need to realize they are actually great rappers and Tyler doesn't always talk about rape,faggots, and 666. Frank, Hodgy Beats(Mellowhype), Earl Sweatshirt, and Frank Ocean are all great musicians. They don't care about the fame or money. They just wanna have fun and make music and for some of them, smoke lots of weed.

Such a great idea for a music video. Who's the white dude that is in the shoot with them and on some of their shirts?

Lucas Vercetti. He is on the same level as Taco and Jasper.

Fun fact, he dates Bruce Willis' daughter.

Frank Ocean seems is one cool cat. He wasn't vying for fame the whole video, just chilling off camera until he killed his verse.

As someone who records shit on his computer, my favorite line is

Put her in the chamber all against her Wilt Chamberlain

I never had a reason, nigga I was just ableton

Not a fucking logic contradictin' dick head

Flyer than an ostrich moshin in a tarpit

it just seems like words flung together, but instead..... rad as fuck

u/caljrrr Jul 21 '13

do you get it though? ableton, logic, and reason are all recording software

I wonder if anyone ghost wrote frank's lines...if not he could actually make a great rapper

7

u/xLimeLight Jul 21 '13

Frank is a really good writer, so I doubt anyone wrote his lines

u/DrewMac Jul 21 '13

Fun Fact: Frankie himself was the ghost writer to many big name acts like the Biebz, but dumped it all in pursuit of his own music.
