Sep 29, 2021SouloBecause he’s not and honestly shouldn’t be with all the f***ing weird gimmicks he’s been pulling lately, just let your music define who you are and leave it at that. Pulling a ridiculous PR stunt every month leaves a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths. He would honestly most likely be more well off just dropping music and leaving it at that, he’s literally making people NOT want to check for him with the way he does so much s*** that DEMANDS attention.
it kinda works tho, he's turned what arguably should have been his only lucky hit into a legitimate career. and honestly i think a lot of that has to do w him marketing himself as a product and yeah that means gimmicks, but it also means a personal seat in pop culture.
Sep 29, 2021Done with the thread but Closure by Nas X as i said on page 1 is a bop
Dont listen to his other music especially the newer stuff by how "pop" a lot of it is but that song was one of my fav songs of 2019 n still is

ive said a lot in this thread but i think it does all come down to music. if nas was making the s*** lil baby was making, the rap world would prob respect dude a lot more. of course making pop music doesn't give u rap cred lol anybody can tell u that

insertcoolnamehereIronic @betweenthebars is saying literally the exact same things that niggas on OFT Forums said v e r b a t i m about Channel Orange when Frank Ocean came out in the liner notes lmfao.
OF fans be lacking so much self-awareness it's funny.
OFT? Is that forum even still around anymore?

Why do y’all keep saying it’s because he memes himself? Does drake not do the same thing?
- Sep 29, 2021fashion killa
one thing thats super important is frank is bisexual, he still will put s*** abt f***ing women in his songs. and doing that definitely offsets the gay s***. second, he almost never ever talks about it outside music, and besides a couple explicit lines its almost always implied in his lyrics. In other words, it's super super not in ur face, abt as discreet as possible. it is entirely possible to be homophobic and still tolerate some quiet instances of gay ppl. same way racists can still have black friends.
or frank lets his music speak for itself and people honestly dont care the way people think

eye contactWhat was the reason he came out
because of his islamaphobi ?!?!He had to come out bc he was a nicki Minaj Stan Twitter account and tweeted gay as hell and then pretended it wasn’t him for as long as he could

Not the same in the slightest
Drake has kind of always been memed as that emotional guy but he didn't really take an active part in that besides being one of the first to really bring that rapping and crooning to the mainstream.. if that's even what you're talking about

Bro Lil Nas X literally ran a meme/Nicki Minaj stan page before getting famous that had over a million followers, he pushed his breakout single as a meme
That's very different from Drake doing a silly dance in a music video that just happened to catch on lol

Sep 29, 2021Does he classify himself as a hip hop artist?
Sep 29, 2021Because you're not very good

He’s not hip-hop tho?
I’ve only heard OTR so maybe I’m wrong but I feel like he’s a pop rapper and emphasize on pop
Does he actually RAP?

Nas literally went all the way and portrayed himself having a gay relationship with the devil for a video and spoke absolutely nothing about his life as a gay person
i don’t think he wanted to have an honest conversation or representation about his sexuality for a good minute considering that’s the lead single for MonteroYeaaaah. You missed the whole concept of that video just stop
