At least with TLOP there were signs of hope. This is just complete silence.

 

[Bounceounce]

How many L's before we get a W?

How many years of this do we have to go through?

I miss the TLOP great journey compared to this torture

Yah I'm surprised that release gets so much hate.
The Good Friday's, the signatures, the snippets, the stream, all leading up to the amazing ULB performance, and finally getting to album.
It was an amazing experience to go through with people on various sites, I haven't regretted it once.

At least this Gallant album is holding me over. Thanks for the suggestion!

Another album in my AOTY running, I'm gonna bump Miyazaki and Bone + Tissue again.

Some R&B recommendations from me:

• TYuS
• 6AM
• Alina Baraz
• Roy Woods
• Snoh Aalegra
• The Internet (y'all should know this one)
• Twenty88
• Cocaine 80's
• Majid Jordan
• SZA
• Rochelle Jordan

I'm drunk so this is just off the top of my head.

 

[xkramz]

I'm officially naming my kid L . That's not illegal right?

 

[Red_Man]

Cocaine 80's & James Fauntleroy are one of the most underappreciated RNB guys in the last 6-7 years. I discovered him through Ocean, and he's got a lot of quality stuff.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Gallant - Ology

My favorite rookie album of the year by far

Up there with Watch the Stove?

Me too. Heard Fertilizer on the Slim K Chopped Not Slopped version of Channel Orange (Channel Purple) and was like, "Where did he find a whole version of this shit to chop and screw?". I looked it up and I've been a fan ever since. Funny enough the beginning of the Frank vs Chris Brown shit was from a tweet where CB said that FO reminded him of a young James Fauntleroy, to which FO responded that CB reminded him of a young James Brown (or Bobby Brown, can't remember which). This was right after the domestic violence ugliness.

dsvn been mentioned which is why I didn't include him.

 

[Owari]

Wait this shit still isn't out? Friday ends in 13 minutes.

He meant 2017.
Album isn't made yet.

 

[all of my hate]

Yep.

He's making the studio in which he will start writing for said album.

 

[Owari]

They have got to be trolling at this point. Come on.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Dang Frank Ocean really is the GRRM of R&B.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Some lesser known recommendations from recent years that weren't already posted, some of these are tangentially R&B:
Gallant

JMSN
BOSCO
Anna Wise
ABRA
Liz
Kilo Kish
Kelela
Jessy Lanza
Alexandria

See that? We don't need you Frank!

 

[The Driver]

Doesn't iTunes typically update in 5 minutes? Know it's an Apple Music exclusive but who knows.

I blame the NYT honestly. Their sources were apparently wrong.

You'd think one of his reps would be quick to dismiss a blatantly wrong story like that, though.

That doesn't seem like a very Frank Ocean thing to do though.

dropping an album doesn't seem like a very Frank Ocean thing to do

You need to take a L...yft.

 

[Red_Man]

A top guy from Apple posting a picture of his site with the caption new music, wasn't a coincidence. The frustrating part is why they're dragging this out so much, I'm fulling expect the album to be a let down now. There's no reason to go to this extent to build hype, people have been waiting years for this. It's just pissing fans off now.

 

[HiiiLife]

Indian Ocean > Frank Ocean.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Frank Ocean just shot himself in the foot.

Not even a fan of Frank Ocean and this shit is just ultra shitty for fans. There's a certain line you cross after a while. This asshole did it a while ago.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

[KibblesBits]

Wait, there's still west coast tho right?

Yeah honestly, I've never listened to Frank but I've been following this for a while and I'll generally check out any new music that's hyped up (I've never given a shit and still don't about Beyoncé but I checked out Lemonade) and I was looking forward to checking this out but I bet you guys are feeling like MGS fans waiting for Episode 3 of the Phantom pain

 

[steamingsarcasm]

We had a good run guys. See yaLl at the same time next year.

I get what you're saying and I do see the humor in it, but real talk, I switched to Apple Music a few months ago and haven't looked back. It's awesome on the new Apple TV.

I roll a blunt and listen to Apple Music every night, so good 😎

 

[mariachi507]

Wait, it's still not out? Kanye is the most influential artist working today.

 

[BenHargrove]
