    Feeling older. We’re living in a world where Tyler is culturally more relevant than Frank Ocean, which means nothing if you care only about the music, obviously, but our guy has been in limbo. Not that his jewelry isn’t getting some credit cart action. But that’s a silent business for 99% of the world.

    Tyler can only dream about having half of the cultural impact as Frank does. Man can’t even get a call back from Zayn. Frank got the industry in the palm of his hands and can choose to do whatever he wants whenever he wants.

    I see what you're saying in a way but honestly the music world will stop itself whenever Frank is coming out of whatever place he's hiding in right now. Tyler could only dream of this even if he walked on the same path Frank is walking on

    What you mean Zayn isn't answering Tyler's phone calls ?

    That boy needs to humble himself like your music ain't good at all you gotta consider yourself extra lucky if Trippie Redd tries to drag you on a song let alone Tyler

    disagree big on the cultural relevance part

    hate using this term cause it doesn't even make sense but every "alt-r&b" musician that popped up after 2016 is a son of Frank's in some capacity. T's influence is harder to track but from what I've seen it's not as far reaching as Frank's

    one had one of the most epochal moments in music the last decade and the other....you see how the cultural relevance thing doesn't really make sense

    Channel Orange > Blonde honestly. Blonde is a classic record but so sad, it makes me feel like I am alone crying in a art museum hall. That White Ferrari - Godspeed run is hard to get through

    channel orange literally the worst body of music he ever put out

    My point is literally Zayn isn’t giving Tyler the time of day and bro thinks he’s a cultural icon at this point. Tyler been on a campaign to get acceptance for being a true musician for the past several years. When people finally gave into his “chord profession, beautiful bridge” gimmick, he had to get acceptance from the hip hop community and slapped DJ Drama on every song like it was an 06 tape.

    Frank f***ed around and dropped Blonde and damn near influenced everyone from the underground and indie scene to the highest of highs in Kendrick and Lorde amongst others. There’s no comparison.

    Also Mind of Mine is a fantastic pop record.

    maybe not "better" per se but definitely my fav of the two and the one i bump more

    cO is the LR to nU's TCD. Some people might prefer the polish but the OG hits different imo

    Yes. I think it’s a lot better. Channel Orange is good but sounds very over produced. Sounded like Frank finally got money to record and went overboard

    Nah man, I wouldn’t call Channel Orange overproduced

    I would say it’s just about average for a pop record from 2012.

    As for Blonde, it’s very minimal, which may make CO seem overproduced by comparison.
