    that comparison doesn’t even make sense

    macguffin =\= nonsensical writing

    I didn’t even know “that” was a trope that had a name but makes sense lol. Thanks for that.

    For the definition I’m seeing in Google I think the overall aesthetic/lifestyle Travis and Frank reinforce with their vague songwriting absolutely serves as that. As long as they give you chunks of young black non street nigga lifestyle but still grounded in the rap tropes of its time it works lol. They could fill the specifics with anything just like the briefcase could have been the trunk of Jules and Travolta’s car or something inside someone’s jacket. Lol

    I think Frank is trying to be fake deep with his lyrics though, Travis just feels like he's trying to reach the word amount requirement on an essay

    the main topics talking are an interaction with a nervous fan at starbucks, fans who press him about dropping music, and his struggles to finish and drop music

    look at them shakes
    made up a dance
    how come you're shook when I ain't take out my hands?
    beans, starbucks, starstruck

    it's coming soon
    that's cause you suck
    it's coming soon
    suck my d***

    niggas think it's new, it ain't new
    old files just turned 2, yeah it flew
    still sound like it's coming soon

    new files sitting on my drive nothing new

    all of them days when I paid for the studio rate instead of the rent
    now I could hang in this b**** every day wait for some inspiration to hit
    this ain't no hopes and dreams it's prophecy
    hardly sleep, faith was in a coffee bean

    Lmao I love Frank but cmon, you’re reaching with the “fan at Starbucks” s***. If any other artist said those lines, you wouldn’t come to that conclusion.

    DHL isn’t about anything in particular

  • Aug 5, 2023

    Frank AT TIMES lives in vagaries where he throws cool lines & references at you with that blasé delivery but also connects some seriously poignant & thoughtful imagery …at times he does both in the same song , unquestionably a great writer what is this lol

    What does Frank Ocean do better in his raps then Travis Scott. If Frank Ocean made My Eyes, ya'll would be praising it as a masterpiece

    Frank is a lot better at subtle wordplay than Travis is.

    His second verse on RAF is a great example of that

    he says word for word that someone was shook and star struck when he didn't take his hands out of his pockets greet them at starbucks, don't be obtuse

    not at all he’s just mastered the art of giving you just enough to where his fans force his s*** to have meaning lol

    a line like beans star bucks doesn’t have any real meaning other than wordplay about pills but if you ask a Frank fan what it means they’d start writing an euphoria episode treatment

    you spittin writing a euphoria episode treatment is funny as s***

  • Aug 5, 2023

    while i agree frank don’t be talkin about S***. i feel like travis gets heat because he has hella writers whereas Frank is known for writing his own s*** so the bar is lower
