Yeah.... Probably won't see another alber for a decade
:kii: :kii: :kii:
Btw king chose not to submit his album because of black representation
Oh wait
KING is already recording new music
Waits
:gorlonfire:
I actually liked some of the things he said.
he's so well tuned
fraud
Ok now we know he chose not to submit it.
People were so quick to say "oh he missed the deadline!"
"The label never submitted it"
n
I'm glad he made that comment about not having to follow an album format
Keep releasing the chunes king :gorlonfire:
He's an interesting person
Can he just go away forever lmao
NOPE
:feelinmyself:
Oh, now he's protesting the Grammys?
Don't know if I believe that. Cool afterthought story, though.
N
Yeah...don't quite believe him.
This is him saving face, I think
I don't understand the reason to lie?
Y'all think he forgot to submit it or something?
:kii:
Oh now he's lying about submitting it. :dead:
I just don't believe his reasons why
He was on his way to being a Grammy darling. Problem is, he releases only once per century. Terrible alberm havin self.
"Standing up for the oppressed"
Boy gone :kii:

I don't get it
He said he didn't submit his album
Is he required to?
I'm just not understanding what reason he'd have to not submit, then lying about the reasoning
Especially since he pretty much took himself out of being in the limelight
He even says he doesn't think he's as popular as his music is
I'm sure if he would've submitted he would have won, but he wouldn't have won "Album Of The Year" which is why he didn't submit it.
Black artists don't win Album Of the Year often.
This article actually made me like him again

Exactly. Black people been not winning the main categories. Where was the protest after Channel Orange?
I think he was afraid he might not get the nominations he did with the 1st album because he chose to go against the grain and release independently. Label heads hated what he did and don't they help decide the noms?
oh
:udontlookok:
i thought there was gonna be some big REVEAL
the fag just said in the interview he thinks hes THE best at what he does, so clearly he has a strong sense of self pride and may be a tad arrogant
im sure him losing has something to do with it, idc though
d
sounds more like the label chose not to submit the album after they dropped his ass for the stunt he pulled, but this protest mess sounds cute or whatever
he also said this
QuoteDid you feel that certain things in your career also hadn?t gone the way you would have liked?
Certain moments were drawbacks for sure. Now I look at things differently, but at the time, yeah. Audiences in excess of five million people [on national TV]. I was always reluctant to do those things except in cases where they had this nostalgic significance to me. Like performing at the V.M.A.s, being tapped to perform at the Grammys ? me saying yes to those things had a lot to do with how those things made me feel before I was actually in the business. And just wanting to be rubbing shoulders with those people and being seen at those places. I still was reluctant and sort of skeptical of those things because I questioned whether or not I was prepared.

they could only submit 'Endless'
Blonde belongs to him.
:cheerup:
He also bought all of his masters
I love his music, but something about him as a person annoys me.
I love frank but there was absolutely nothing insightful about this interview . We now know that he is arrogant ( mom , I'm rich ) ( I'm the best at what I do ) and that he chose to purposely not get nominated for the Grammies . Who is frank ocean ? He wouldn't even answer the questions straight up . It feels like he isn't really willing to allow his fans to truly get to know who he is
