Everyone seems to be making a big deal about whether or not Frank Ocean is gay, straight, or bi lately, but I believe it's important to stay away from the gossip side of the Odd Future member's life and focus on what he does best - music. And keeping the subject on that [...]

Frank Ocean has been the center of attention recently after giving us a glimpse into his private life. Kudos to Mr. Ocean for opening up, but hopefully the next batch of headlines can be about his incredible new track — co-written by Pharrell Williams — off his upcoming,  Channel Orange,  out July 17th. 

I am not really sure who the eff Frank Ocean is. I think he is a 'token r&B singer' in the hiphop Odd Future group. Of course, Odd Future are all terrible rappers who only exist to sell t-shirts, so I'm sure Frank Ocean is one of those 'wannabe singers' who we see at karaoke all the time thinking they are 'hot shit' for butchering a Michael Jackson song, except he was fortunate enough to be friends/family with random Odd Future members. Then they were prob all like 'hey join [...]

Make no mistake, this is a much bigger deal than Anderson Cooper because the hip-hop world isn't exactly known for embracing homosexuality and Tyler, the Creator, Odd Future's front man, has been accused of writing homophobic lyrics - though he did tweet his support for his friend. You can read Ocean's entire letter at his website , where he doesn't specifically come out, but does admit his first love was a man.  He also gets the NYT's profile treatment , which addresses the issue. Anyway, Russell Simmons said Ocean just [...]

Frank Ocean of Odd Future posted the following letter on his t umblr that spoke openly about homosexual feelings he has. This makes him t he second openly gay member of Odd Future. Tyler, the Creator  who has been banned from playing festivals in the past for allegedly being a homophobe tweeted in support of Frank taking this step: My Big Brother Finally Fucking Did That. Proud Of That Nigga Cause I Know That Shit Is Difficult Or Whatever. Anyway. Im A Toilet. — Tyler, [...]

Odd Future member, Frank Ocean has revealed via his Tumblr that he is gay.  The R&B singer talks about the first time he fell in love with a man in the post, originally intended to be used in the liner notes of his forthcoming album, 'Channel Orange'. After Jay Z's recent stance in support of gay marriage, does this show that hip hop is moving it's notoriously homophobic attitude forward into the 21st century? Here is an extract from the notes: 4 summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent [...]

Big thing here: Frank Ocean just released his completely free new mixtape, The Best of Frank Ocean Collection . The 23-track tape features past Ocean songs like "White" and "Whip Appeal," as well as pieces from his work as with other Odd Future tracks. However, "Novacane" is noticeably absent. Regardless, the tape is a lead in to July 17's release of Ocean's next album Channel Orange . Download The Best of Frank Ocean Collection here .

One of my favorite Twitter memories involves Frank Ocean. (#humblebrag starts now.) The resident Odd Future crooner and I exchanged a few tweets. I could sense that he was a good person (and I know that's a childish insight, but it is how I felt at the time).  Of all the things we could possibly talk/tweet about, we connected over a shared love of Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese. (It's an Oregon delicacy and one of the things I truly miss about living in that part of the country.) Ocean even re-tweeted me at one point. This happened before he truly [...]

• Frank Ocean - Pyramids

Jonah Bromwich's favorite Pharaoh was Monch. Frank Ocean seems to have taken advantage of his Kanye/Jay affiliation to hype his upcoming album with the single “Pyramids,” which I’m sure has resulted in the spontaneous combustion of several Illuminati conspiracy theorist brains. “Pyramids” is more Shakespearean than it is Bavarian, a kind of mash-up of Othello and Antony and Cleopatra , which uses the history of the Egyptian queen’s death by snakebite as an allegory for the betrayal of a lover. It’s a highly intelligent song, subtle and so excellent that you could listen for years [...]

Yesterday was a busy day for Frank Ocean . On his Tumblr , within the span of a few hours, he posted a teaser video for something called "Channel Orange" (watch it below), out on July 17th, which was later revealed to be his first proper album. He then posted tour dates for later this summer and, finally, revealed the first single from said album, titled "Pyramids" . The song, almost ten minutes long, is a bit of a departure from what the Odd Future [...]

After an earlier release of a trailer for Channel Orange , a 14 city tour, Frank drops a 10 minute, "get it going" track, Pyramids . Pyramids take us on a trip with Ocean as he interacts with the imagery of a Cleopatra. The song is extra dope! Check it out below and peep the tour dates for Channel Orange.
