We love how the article opens up…
Frank Ocean did not want to ride in my rented Ford Fusion; that much was clear. After I parked the car, he met me outside his modernist apartment building in Los Angeles and led me to the garage where he rents three parking spots for three different BMWs. He was dressed casually — gray hoodie, jeans, high-top Vans with red laces, baseball cap — and he jumped lightly from the curb to the parking blocks as we walked toward his late-model blue BMW M3. Ocean no longer had driving privileges as a result of some recent violations, on top of which he was cited for marijuana possession a few weeks earlier. “You can drive,” he said, though I could tell that it was killing him.

This nigga is climbing trees now? How in the world did he get up that high? oh well…
Seems like he tries too hard to be deep and different…idk..hes talented and all but…there is something about him i dont like.
really? look at those pics. he looks super regular.
I get what you are saying…but i mean in his album art, videos and other shoots….
i agree. there is something about him.
I DON’T GET ALL THE HYPE…HE SOUNDS TROUBLE.
TROUBLED
I appreciate this brother’s music and approach to sharing it with us. He carved out a lane for himself doing it different and created a movement that is undeniable in its humanity and complexity. 1, 2, 3 for Team Breezy stans/narrow-minded folks to start hating… .
Shut up you dick in the booty ass nigga! Go play house with Frank Ocean.
Didn’t take long for a homophobe to show up.

lol pls go just fuk off to your kitchen and eat yourself to death
thanks
I like Frank Ocean’s music but this being in the news for bullsh!t is getting on my nerves. First he got caught in a car preforming a lude act! Second you start a fight with Chris Brown over a parking space! Then you release interviews playing the victum! I’m not mad that your gay or bi but lets be real! Did he have to release that information? What happened to just living life and you just so happened to be gay? I hate people when they have to use there sexuality to get people talking! He needs to just keep writting good music and stay the f@#k away from drama!
Does Rihanna stay away from drama (or even make “good” music)? Or are you just more comfortable with her overt sexuality, drug use and general carrying on? Point is, the gay thing is probably your issue not him.
But you know what I dont like about Frank and Chris’ generation…they are too emotional all on twitter acting like bitches..esp Chris…chanel that shit to your music and GTFO social media….
I agree, a lot of men (gay and straight) seem to be extra sensitive and overly emotional these days.
well, for both of these dudes – it’s likely the drugs.
Agreed; at least they aren’t wearing skirts.
really? skirts is the thing that bothers you?
frank ocean actually likes dudes. like he’s admitting to liking to play with penises.
but skirts is the dealbreaker for you hunh?
Actually, what bothers me is that you care about who he is and not what he produces. I don’t and I’m not gay either. I just appreciate quality creative products that all kinds of people put out there. If I didn’t I wouldn’t listen, watch, read or appreciate or be influenced by things by people like Luther Vandross, James Baldwin, Alvin Ailey, Langston Hughes, Andre Leon Talley, Bill T. Jones, Snoop from The Wire, etc. — a small sample. Anyway, that’s just me. May be you don’t like his music but are too lazy to think beyond categorizing him to explain why or perhaps you’re critical thinking skills are limited…
I think the point is that those tendencies that have your panties in a bunch are everywhere you look. I guess you think Kanye West is not rap’s version of Luther Vandross.
Oh, you forgot, it’s not a skirt! Ask Mr. West http://bit.ly/14I58tY
You strong on this anti-gay business, were you molested at church or something? Why do you care so much?
kanye west is a legendary artist with weight control issues destined to die young?
Actually, I’ll pass your question on to Lord Jammar of Brand Nubian. He might say yes on legendary, no on weight loss, yes on destined to die like we all are (unless you know the secret to immortality). On the question at hand — sexuality — Lord Jammar would probably say, yes, he cares about Mr. West’s sexuality or what he represents on the skirt thing. http://gaw.kr/11VpdP3. You, I guess, don’t care about the skirt, you care about the music, correct? Or may be you care more about the skirt… who knows?
More on Lord Jammer’s viewpoints here http://bit.ly/ULpVMH. Are they consistent with yours?
