Stadiums?
coachella bigger than any stadium out there
im 110% sure if frank announced a listening party at the Mercedes Benz stadium, mfs would fill it up no diddler
Rx papi aint mysterious at all. If anything Rx in general overshare.
Still the correct answer
But we know why frank had to be mysterious; being gay come with a lot of ridicule that could suppress the art— drake just recently threw allegations at The Weeknd (side note: prolly why frank wouldn’t collab with him ) so now imo it’s gonna be interesting to see how cis guys who like frank now turn on The Weeknd, who is in his prime, for being too flamboyant
how do i do find an in between balance of both…

Each release has to be clearly intentional and so rich in all respects to what most people who love music demand from albums/eras that you are afforded the leverage of silence - and the cool factor
Certain folks have to flood the market because they’re lacking artistically and make meaningless literal background music. Now you can also be one of these folks and make it work by creating a cope narrative of you being the greatest in your field because of streams, but the former method is preferred for your goal brother childhood
Give them Blonde. Give them Graduation. Give them This Is It and TPAB. Make something meaningful with a strong vision and allusions to a lived in world and lifestyle

Couldn't imagine spending 10 years without releasing music
You have never released any music in reality. The f*** do you mean you can’t imagine?
I think the craziest about these two is. The way they came in. I bet we all thought it was gonna be the opposite way.
Matter fact I wouldnt be surprised if Franks mysterious was motivated from mixtape Abels early allure/mystery
Weeknd
Couldn't imagine spending 10 years without releasing music
i’d rather not release music than release beauty behind the madness

Well you’re doing a great job at it man keep it up
Well you’re doing a great job at it man keep it up
won’t make beauty behind the madness non slop music
Conrgatulations OMEGA! You have been visited by Hegel for your question to be assessed dialectically.
Using the dialectical method, I will dialect your post, dialectically!
Thesis: Mainstream (The Weeknd)
Antithesis: Mysterious and artsy (Frank Ocean)
The answer must lie in the Synthesis, which follows:
Mainstream appeal but using mysterious and artsy methods (Kanye Omari West)

I hope you are satisfied that I have answered your question using this rigorous method.
Thesis antithesis synthesis isn’t how Hegel conceived of dialectics though, that comes from Fichte
