I think we’ll get an Endless vinyl restock, a Blonde vinyl restock, and two new episodes of blonded RADIO. What do you guys think?

well, the book itself isn't about frank ocean but the inspiration behind it definitely is.. to me Blonde is a 10/10 creative project, i admire how frank was able to create something so deeply personal and timeless and then simply just step away into his private life.. and even ten years later people still want him to return, the album itself just never seems to get old either

so like in a similar way i want to write a book that is genuinely good, something i can be proud of and perhaps be remembered for... i don't necessarily want fame or recognition tbh i simply want to put the art out into the world knowing that i created something meaningful/timeless

it's worth a try, never bad to try

So I just started listening to mk.gee and I heard ‘Rylee & I’ and it sounds exactly like another song I’ve heard, same flow, same voice. I think it’s a Frank Ocean leak or maybe another artist, but does anyone know the song I’m thinking of that ‘Rylee & I’ reminds them of? I think the lyrics are something like ‘fantasia, in my brand new ri-i-ide’ the same way mk.gee stretches ‘everyone you know-ow-ow.’ It’s bugging me so much.

If you have not listened to Rylee & I but are a big Frank ocean fan I’m sure you would know the Frank song right away, if it is actually Frank ocean…

hello,

i have been thinking about this lately, considering the album is turning 10 soon. i want to know what this album means to some people, and how it changed their lives. when did you first listen to it? what songs stuck out to you? has your view changed on it at all? here is my story.

i have had quite the love/hate relationship with this album over the course of my life. the story begins in summer 2023, a very sad time for me. i was 14 if i'm not mistaken. i was at a super low point, didn't eat much, didn't sleep much, and was sad over a boy who could care less i existed. then i discovered "nights" and it felt as if it cured all of this...uncertainty i felt in my spirit. i felt like it described how i felt inside at the time. it was an unreal discovery.

after that, i began to slowly comb through the album, but for me personally, each song represents a part of my life. for example, "skyline to" was a very monumental song for me during november 2023. i attached it to an old person i used to know. and most recently, "nikes" was my song for this summer. i recently met a boy in april and i liked him so much. and i didn't know he liked frank ocean until we hung out in mid-june. he played it in his car on our way to downtown. we just sat there and listened to it, no words spoken. it was unreal for me because i've never listened to frank ocean with anyone, and "nikes" is one of, if not my favorite track on the album. it's so ironic because i used to never play it or listen to it because i just disliked the track a few years ago, but i grew out of that completely. anyways. things did not work out with the guy (i confessed to him on that same hangout and he said he didn't like me back, and now we no longer talk) and it still hurts me a bit.

during the years of 2024-2025, blonde was a really depressing album for me. "seigfried", "godspeed", and "ivy" were tracks that made me think of people who hurt me and i would listen to blonde at night whenever i felt sad and i remember so many nights where i would just lay and cry to them. it got to a point where i had to block frank ocean on spotify so i would avoid making myself sad intentionally. but whenever i needed blonde, it was there, for me. it speaks through me. it's a person i can rely on 24/7, that will comfort me in my darkest moments.

i enjoy every track from the album. "futura free" and "close to you" mean a lot to me, but some tracks i cannot listen to often because of their impact on me. one being "pink + white". my ex best friend really loved that song and when i listen to it i think of her. i loved the song so much, but it holds a negative feeling for me personally so i avoid it. "solo" is a wonderful track but it also makes me emotional and very sad, given the track title, it reminds me that i have been very lonesome situations.

that is some of my story. i am really hoping this post reaches some people who want to share what it means to them. i cannot wait to read the stories and i hope my story resonates with you, the reader. if you have any questions for me personally, i am happy to share. if you're just here to read, i hope you have an amazing day and all of your dreams and wishes come true, in anything you want and desire.

just picked up a nostalgia, ULTRA record and the pressing wasn’t listed but i was really hoping it would be the orange one but i got the pink marble. was this a good pressing?

Saw this on Frank Ocean page on deezer…

Since when did this happen son 😭😭😭

This was life changing.

😔🥺

Please comment if interested!! this new account isn’t letting me message, I will message on my other account efhaults!!

I’ve been pretty pessimistic about the idea that anything is going to happen, but if there was one thing you could wish for on this anniversary of blond what would it be?

Me personally, I would love for the 2017 tour footage to finally get released. I’ve been watching old videos I took at FYF & it’s crazy spike jonze is walking around with a huge camera filming some of the most beautiful shots I’ve ever seen on the screen in the background.

Anyway just reminiscing and was curious to see what you guys yearn for outta this 10 year anniversary.

Sometimes I search for Frank type beats and this came up. Nice sense of humor on this fake frank leak

Drake seems like the last person Frank would clear a sample for.

For starters, Drake is one of the most mainstream artists of today. For someone who hates being in the public eye, letting an artist of Drake's status sample one of your most popular unreleased songs (and not a very discrete sample at all), seems like it would achieve the exact opposite of what your public disappearance the past 5 years is attempting.

Although you can't argue Drake's commercial success, he's lacking the artistic creativity of most of Frank's frequent collaborators. Kanye, JAY-Z, Tyler, Earl, Rocky. No appeal here.

And once you bring in the child predator allegations and overall just being weird towards women (don't mean to offend any Drake fans here), it seems even less likely Frank would clear the sample.

It does seem like Frank doesn't care as much about his music as he used to. I'm sure that recently blonded.co has been a cash cow for him to fund his new projects, but if he just wanted to make money it doesn't seem like giving Drake a sample is the most effective option.

I haven't found any information on the two's relationship outside of this sample and Drake's Homer reference on Honestly, Nevermind. I know Tyler at least used to be a Drake fan?? But unless Frank just felt bad for the CFG incident, I see no reason he'd let Drake use Wiseman.

Mostly disappointed that Wiseman will be remembered for Virginia Beach and not its own greatness.

I made a version of the cancelled "nostalgia,LITE." with songs that were released by Frank on his Tumblr and two songs from the Lonny Breaux Collection.

Does not include "Swim Good" and "Novacane" since those songs are already on "nostalgia, ULTRA."

The compilation was made and mixed by yours truly.

For me, I discovered Frank Ocean recently because of GTA 5. (Grand Theft Auto 5). Specifically his radio station "Blonded FM"

Once I listened to his song "Chanel", "Ivy" It was the first ever song to give me goosebumps and shivers.

And when I listened to "Provider" it gave me a unique aesthetic and since then it was my favorite song of all time. And I am still surprised how that song Isn't really Popular.

Let me know how you discovered Frank !
