Still convinced the hate is copium that you couldn’t be there. Almost all the performances including the dj set were fire. Crowd sucked ass, expected nothing less from frank ocean “fans”

Did Justin Bieber use the same picture as Frank Oceans mom or am I tweaking?

sooooo people on the internet are hating on it because we weren't there and the crowd that was there wasn't enjoying it because.... they were there?

Yeah I mean he sounded great. But the performance was so disjointed and had absolutely no momentum.

The backlash to this performance has been a bit excessive imo.

I think that people were already mad before it started because it wasn’t going to be streamed. I get that live streaming festival sets has become more common, but it still should be acceptable to not stream a set. If you want to see a performance, then go to see it live.

As for the actual performance, people wanted him to play “the hits” in a traditional way (i.e. as they sound on record) or play new material. He obviously did neither, but I don’t think that he should be criticized for it. The renditions that he gave were great (his voice sounded maybe better than ever), and the remixed instrumentals kept old material fresh. The house style of some of the remixes along with the DJ set made complete sense if you have been following him for the past 4 years. Hoping for new songs or an album announcement was wishful thinking.

With all of that being said, he should not have started an hour late (which also caused the early ending), the transitions between songs should have been smoother, and he should have actually sang during Nikes/Nights. All of these things should be criticized. But the end result to me isn’t a disaster of a performance, which is how it’s being portrayed.

Everyone I know that went who’s musical opinion I respect also thought it was fire but obviously the frat kids next to me who walked out after they got their picture weren’t happy that he didn’t keep it simple

Frank stans been embarrassing for a while. I mean stanning him still 7 years after blond instead of simply listening to other music is a red flag in itself. I rarely meet a Frank stan that branches out into other genres or could tolerate anything left field whatsoever

Doesn’t mean his music and his art isn’t incredible

Stop trying to separate yourself from Frank stans when you ARE Frank stans.

The bias of your immediate friends means nothing. You and your Einstein friends are in a small deluded minority.
