Like I said before the boy can paint a picture with his words and sing them so elegantly. That being said, his orientation doesn't bother me, but listening to a song and he's directly singing about a dude, does make me cringe a little bit. I'm not homophobic, I'm just old school in some ways. I can listen to Luther Vandross and Freddie Jackson sing love songs and I know they were gay, but it was comforting to listen to the song and it was about a woman.

In my politically correct mind Forest Gump, and Bad Religion are great tunes, it offers an interesting dichotomy to me. I'm just hoping as mentioned before he would re-release Forest Gump with a pronoun noun change.

:ohhh:

Album is dope, period.

I will say that even though I have no problem with gay people whatsoever, I don't feel like peoples personal lives are not any of my business BUT I dropped Forest Gump out the upload to Google Music lol. I fully did the Dave Chapelle Crack Head face once he started singing about dudes muscles.

Everyone in this room has the talent of Frank Ocean vocally. He is a hack. I promise if you sing in the whiniest voice possible you too can sound just like this clown. This is soul for the new generation? Unreal.

first week? nah.

these surprise digital releases confuse consumers more often than not. and he doesnt have a single bubbling.

100k overall within the next two months is more likely.

It's #1 in UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, Finland & Norway, and 6th in spain ; and im sure more people will buy the disc anyway :manny:
