Apple Music exclusive? Foh with that shit, I'm gonna wait for the Spotify version thank you very much.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Oh god damn it, Apple music? I hate this exclusivity bullshit. Will listen to it when it's on Spotify.

 

[chaislip3]

More music playing on the lifestream

These are 100% instrumentals on the new album. I recognize this one from one of the leaked snippets.

 

[enzo_gt]

Damn, we're finally getting an oft-delayed, once highly anticipated album nobody cares about anymore and it's not even Act II?

Apple is fucking UP.

 

[Kyzer]

This is so whack...why are artists doing this to their fans?


/Spoiler $$$$

I'm sure it was a great move for him and his family tho I respek it

He doesn't owe anyone anything, he can release his tepid albums wherever he likes.

I mean, if he doesn't appeal to y'all, why are y'all here?

Do Apple exclusives usually go up at midnight EST or is it later?

 

[all of my hate]

Usually 11PM from past released (I know Drakes "Views" was live at 11PM EST).

 

[Urban Scholar]

Guess I'll wait 2 weeks.

 

[chaislip3]

Yeah new releases are 11pm Thursday.

 

[akilshohen]

I can wait two weeks. Apple Music is garbage and not even Frank Ocean can turn me away from Spotify. I made the switch when I redeemed my 3 month free trial of Apple Music to save some cash and I didn't even make it through two full months before I switched back to Spotify.

Same. They really aren't good on Android.

Spoiler

Even though when I had my Tidal trial, I thought the UI was way better than Spotify

 

[all of my hate]

I really like the distorted sample currently playing.

 

[Djungelfrukt]

I love having this is background sound at work.

 

[Darksol]

Give it to me now

 

[DOWN]

Two weeks ain't bad but I have Apple Music already so yas

 

[all of my hate]

I love having this is background sound at work.

Thats what I do. Kind of feels like you have someone working in the same building. I'm over here coding while Franks on the other side... sawing.. and shit.

But damn, Frank, turn that music up.

 

[Woetyler]

Apple Music Exclusive?

Explains why Kanye's been so upset lately...

 

[jacobs34]

I have to admit, there's something very soothing about having Frank's stream on in the background while I'm at work. Hearing the samples and watching him chip away at a project as I chip away at my work is pretty cool.

 

[torre_avenue]

Hey, if you believe the Internet, Act II is either coming this Friday, next Friday, or January 7th.

[NoctisVsStar]

Everybody getting laid with this cd.

 

[chaislip3]

No question that the background music is on the album

This is the same as the 1995 snippet I posted in the other thread.

[Xion385]

People in this thread acting like they won't listen to the album the minute it drops on Friday. Adorable.

 

[jacobs34]

This dude is about to start welding.

No wonder it took so long for the album to come out, he's been training to become host of This Old House.

 

[Expendable.]

1 hour and 10 minutes? Interesting. Wasn't it rumored to be a double album at one point?

 

[all of my hate]

First thing they gon' do is type "frank ocean boys dont cry zippyshare" into google.

So does this mean that Apple gave him a lump sum of money to make it exclusive like "money hatting" in video games?

Why do this?

 

[Fiend]

I can't say I won't, I can't say I will.

 

[KmA]

I've been listening to Pyramids literally all day. I swear if this isn't good (unlikely) I will destroy something.

 

[chaislip3]

All of the background music that played today:

Seriously I've played it at least 10 times today. Going nuts.

It's a song to smoke hookah/drink to.

 

[solarus]

Doubt it as that news came after those tweets, and Frank & Kayne have a close working relationship (having worked on each others album). Think about the rise in subs Tidal would have had if Frank went with them.

Wrong. Kanye mentioned the wolves album with drake a while ago back in february on the breakfast club and that it could still happen then mentioned it in another interview later and now they both confirmed together finally. It's been happening even before that first time he mentioned it in feb obviously so it's a long time coming.
Dropping it is gonna need tidal x apple

 

[all of my hate]

Oh well, they'll figure it out.

I'm more excited for Frank & PND.

I don't have or intend to use Apple Music. How can I?

Just so I have this link save dsomewhere (don't wanna bookmark it, too many already).

It's gonna get ripped within the first few minutes / hours. Just search "boys dont cry zippyshare" on google like an hour after its out.

 

[Lifejumper]

Excited!

 

[all of my hate]

Updated for those who havent watched: Apparently he was a no-show today (or at least no playback of him working on.. whatever it is).

Is it actually live?

Should be up tomorrow night anyways right

 

[all of my hate]

No. It was recorded sometime in 2015. Thats why I stated there was no playback of him working, just the usual looped segment.

 

[all of my hate]

Update: He just appeared (playback now resuming), seems to be wearing a knitted sweater with the playboy bunny icon. New music playing.

What will he cut or weld today / tonight?

 

[olympia]

how you guys think this one is gonna review

 

[Red_Man]

It will probably review decent to well , but it's almost impossible for it to live up to the hype after all these years and all these delays.

It's my most anticipated album in the last 5 years and I'm trying to temper my expectations as much as possible.

 

[lazerfox]

Seems like it paid off waiting to try out the 3 months Apple Music free trial.
Registered and ready to download. My body is ready!

 

[Glazed]

So this should be dropping tomorrow when iTunes updates, right?

 

[overcast]

1 hour and 10 minutes? Interesting. Wasn't it rumored to be a double album at one point?

Album length has been revealed?

Where is that tracklist at. 17 hours until this is released.. Apparently.

 

[Expendable.]

It was rumored based on leaked info during the stream -- could be bullshit. 16 tracks, 1 and 10 minutes, which would make it 8 minutes longer than Channel Orange. We'll find out soon!
