You've seemed to capture Frank's image so clearly, and its shocking because he's a hard person to capture(imo). You're very talented with this, and this is literally my first video watching you. Amazing job. Love what you did with the spiraling endless edit lol, simple but clever.

Fr did you listen

1:26 I actually really like how Odd Future as a collective do this. Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean particularly do this very well. Frank Ocean shows cars not as a status symbol, but as a conduit for storytelling, as he views them as places to share private, intimate moments. Tyler, the Creator, set up a narrative in his music. As a person, he has mentioned countless times before that he very much dislikes the clout aspect of fashion and jewelry, stating many times that he doesn't like to buy expensive jewelry or designer brands like Supreme. However, on some of his work, he contradicts this by mentioning expensive cars that he owns. And every time he does this, he makes it clear that there's something else to it. On Flower Boy, he kind of hints at using cars as a sort of escape or to fill a hole in his life. Almost every time he mentions boredom or loneliness, he pairs it with a mention of a car or of driving. He uses this as symbolism. He's trying to say that he doesn't actually find cars all that much of a status symbol, but he uses them as a tool to escape his loneliness or boredom.

Nikes is truly an under appreciated song. There's something cinematic about it, not to mention it's my favorite music video that I've ever seen. It's such an honest depiction of the life and interests of this generation. There's something subtly psychedelic about it, and it's not even my favorite song on the album.

I don't care for lyrics and he heavily relies on them, so I can't comment on that. but everything else seems basic. he has no real sining voice and the background music, while smooth and sometimes nice, is kinda boring. it's the same thing through out the album. not one song, or even melody got stuck in my head. you have to keep in mind that I usually don't listen to rap, so I'm not really the target audience in the first place. it's just that I really enjoyed the last Kendrick Lamar album for some reason, so I thought I might give this one a shot. but nah. unfortunatelly not my thing.
