I find it’s when he raps where he seems to just be talking in code

That’s very accurate

yall are simply to hollow-skulled to understand his bars

why is this the new meme now

Frank’s a relic of the 10s

Frank ocean raps better than Travis Scott and its possible that u

a. are trolling (which means I took the bait, good job)

or

b. you're too dumb to decipher good bars

when I see threads like this I remember that my time on earth is limited and I can't be spending so much time on this site.

thanks OP

Get me a Persian rug where the center looks like Galaga

“it’s obvious”

you’re proving the point of my initial post in here that his magic is giving the fans just enough to create whole fan fiction interpretations about super vague ass lines lol. It’s not a knock on him only a few people can do it lol

You could argue MF DOOM also did this to a lesser extent lol but he was much more skilled at carrying thru a narrative

Isn’t it convenient that you cant say what your interpretation is and instead insult me based off the assumption That I don’t have an interpretation of the song lol

best explanation I’ve seen from the people “defending” him in here lol

Although I don’t see how we aren’t saying the same thing lol. There’s a lot of assuming and filling in the blanks needed for this. Definitely something he started with blonde and beyond cuz nostalgia ultra isn’t like this, it’s like a more refined version to where the lines are way less vague

Spend it when I get that
I ain't tryna keep you
Can't keep up a conversation
Can't nobody reach you
Why your eyes well up?
Did you call me from a seance?
You are from my past life
Hope you're doin' well, bruh

All my night, been ready for you all my night
Been waitin' on you all my night
I'll buzz you in, just let me know when you outside
All my night, you been missin' all my night
Still got some good nights memorized
And the look back's gettin' me right

Is it really fan fiction to say these lyrics are about a romantic partner? Or is it just called using context? Like those lyrics are pretty obviously about a partner

his music only became like that post-blonde fr

but i’m glad we’re mocking the travis niggas tho lmao

nights is vague ?

nigga made seigfried

he doesn’t have to say anything ever again

Like I get that Frank isn’t like a story teller but you still get a pretty general sense of what most of his songs are about to say he has no substance is crazy

That s*** read 200 thousand I still know the rules but in silence I’ll speak the truth but the slimiest No rules but still a mafia

This is exactly what niggas mad at Travis Scott for on Utopia in a different font. Lol it’s just complete statements instead of s*** like “tonight we’ll find the vibe”

Your brain on stanning

hit the lyrics button on Apple Music and it’s just a bunch of random ass lines with no linear narrative or thing he’s tryna convey lol. Which is cool. I think people are taking it as an insult rather than accepting that this is his “thing”. Again same with DOOM Lowkey lol

It’s fascinating the s*** that artists surround the actual lyricism with to where they can get away with this as “deep” or not lol

I don’t think Travis Scott or Frank Ocean are devoid of substance tbh

They just aren’t going to tell you what they’re talking about line by line and deviate from the topic of the song especially Travis

Think its a dumb complaint for both, but I get it a little more with Travis

As a song writer sometimes you write things that mean something to you specifically or relate to a specific thing in your life also so lines like that might not even be random but just personal references

Thats not even about Frank thats about artist in general

super vague ass lines

Y'all niggas crazy
