Perfume_idiot_Frankās timeline is not as unreasonable as people give him credit for
2016: blonde and endless
2017 & 2018: about 12 songs or so including features
2019: gearing up for release + first few singles
2020: 2 singles, pandemic and death of Ryan
2021 - 2023: iceman freestyle, release of Homer (which I believe was an earnest creative outlet/statement), Coachella, blonded radios that felt as though they were building to something, insta snippets 1 & 2, beginnings of the movie
2024-2026: diary snippet, actually making movie.There seem to be signs the movie has been completed and a 2027 release feels realistic but obv thereās the chance it does not happen. I get the frustrations people have and Frank surely does take longer than most but I feel like learning an entire new career to the standard you want, even with all the time and resources at your disposal, takes a while.
Iām sure grief follows Frank. Iām sure he has his days that feel normal too. Both are valid. I donāt think itās unreasonable to expect the normal days outnumber the grieving days after 6 years, but itās also okay if they donāt.
All of this
sfsorrowrest in peace to your dad and you are completely right. life goes on and you grow around grief and tragedy as horrible as it is. it's actually reducing him and infantilizing him to treat him with kid gloves about it like he can't do anything. and it's clearly not stopping him from living his life and posting about it all the time. it's kinda just performative empathy and they don't hold any other artist that loses family to that standard either
Itās ok to want loss as well and grief never truly ends however I think itās not a good excuse for his lack of music at this point anymore
Dr Lee PhDNigga shut that s*** up
You didnt make blonde, nobody gives a s*** about you being a top performer at your f***in job
Making blonde means you get to use grief as an excuse for the rest of your life? This comment made dummy amounts of sense lol
- Dr Lee PhD
The nigga that made blonde and endless simultaneously can take all the time in the world
Sure yeah however I donāt believe grief after five years is his reason for not dropping
Also he started two maybe three rollouts on his own I didnāt force him to do that
- sfsorrow
frank himself said he's making an album 3 years ago and posts pics playing guitar and s*** so any of this "but he's grieving he can't make music" s*** is something that he doesn't even hold himself to.
There's a huge difference in making and releasing music

heraldusing ur own grief as a barometer for someone else's and to police their creative process isnt any better. getting curt pushback in response to that shouldnt be allat surprising
critiquing how people fawn n handhold frank is all well n good but no one is really all the way right here. n everyone playing gotcha is acc the most "performative" aspect of this interaction
being this entitled to getting an artist's new music is the whole catalyst for unproductive arguments like this
Idk if shut up n word and go back to the assembly line is what Iād call curt feedback but yeah ok

You can want it all yall want
But "I quickly grieved my loved ones and went back to work so frank has no excuses" is f***ing disgusting
Frank himself is back in the studio and his grief isnāt stopping him so idk why youāre shoving it into my face when even he isnāt doing it lmfao

You arguing with a parasite
- Dr Lee PhD
Of course, be thirsty, be impatient, be frustrated
My only issue was with that nigga using his own dead father to validate his entitlement he has for a damn stranger
I never said I had any entitlement towards wanting an album except the fact that he himself has been promoting his album
Also 10 years is an insane amount of time to work on a single album like 99th percentile of all works of music
- Dr Lee PhD
I'm not gonna quote that nigga because its gonna trick him into thinking I want to interact with him but here's the exact quote
"I lost my dad, who was essentially my only family, and had to take on an immensely high stress job where I became a top performer this year. So I donāt rly have much sympathy for grief at year 5"
If you dont see how this is disgusting and dismissive, idk what to tell you nephew
At some point you gotta work through your s*** and not use it an an excuse for not dropping, which isnāt even what Frank was doing btw. I was mostly responding to the fanbase thatās still bringing up grief as an excuse

He hasnāt been indicating the album is close . He has shown he is working on it but he is a human being not just content or product that was the literal point of endless
We had an album with like over half the whole thing previewed already and a full tracklist with singles being dropped with little images all corresponding to a full product
That only stopped bc of Covid, grief stopped him a second time, I actually donāt know whatās stopping him now. If I had to guess itās cause the wait and critical success is creating pressure or something

Hey f*** you! We couldāve just had a discussion but I guess not lol
all this back n forth for a nigga that dont owe no1 music idgi

Comparing the death of your 50-60 year old dad to the death of a young brother who had the final words on blonde
So essentially the loss of perhaps my closest friend isnāt as important cause he didnāt speak on an album, got it.

If you in your mind thinks he hasnt restarted and changed what he is doing from then after Coachella thats on you.

I donāt think Iām wrong when Frank himself is not using his own grief to stop himself from doing anything, itās just a few fans itt who are
Grief something that lasts with you a lifetime but youāre not supposed to just stop everything for it which isnāt rly what heās doing anyway

exactly y u shudnt have brought them up to use as a measuring stick. denigrating their memory if anything

Comparing your grief and process to a music artist is absurd. Things clearly changed trajectory after Coachella. Since then we have seen random post on instagram. Vinyl repressings. But a clear indication that was a reset.

It was my 2 cents on grief as Iām actively going through it, thatās all really.
We donāt need to talk about franks grief 5 years post when he doesnāt even publically talk about it, was my only point

My grandma died and I processed that while seeing her at all points of my life but that doesnt compare to the death of an 18 year old man

n u still aint acknowledge how u was wrong to enmesh ur own grief onto wat someone else "should" or shouldnt be capable of - let alone tryna dictate when. afai concerned the whole precipice u arguin from is shaky

Frank an adult and can deal with his grief however he see fit. I highly doubt thatās whatās stopping him from making an album though
The only people who have ever talked about his grief are his fans, bar his comments at the Coachella set if Iām not mistaken
