There was also a collaboration with Nas, No Such Thing as White Jesus, that was unfortunately lost to a technological mishap. Mr. Ocean expressed regret that album deadlines prevented him from recreating the song from scratch, and he broke into song to capture what was lost:
Whatever you do, young king, dont wind up dead
Young queen, cross your legs,
Put a crown on your head and remove the chains
Cause even diamond chains are for slaves,
Dont set foot in no penitentiary
And dont taste the poison
Dont you bail on your families
Its signature Frank Ocean: dignified, quasi-political, cerebral without being disdainful, fleetingly hopeful. If that bears little resemblance to the center of whats happening on the radio the same can certainly be said for the bulk of Channel Orange
. Would be great music to fade to black.
oh the hilarity of this nikkas greatness
