Love for all the support people have shown the videos over the last couple of weeks, the comments have been massively appreciated and motivating, and I hope to continue to make stuff that you find valuable for your process, ✌+❤

    In my opinion the best Frank Ocean song is Wiseman, its some of the best lyricism I’ve seen and is incredibly emotional.

      waaaaooooow! I have been listening this sing thousands of time.
      first: I have no idea how it didn't make the cut in DJANGO UNCHAINED
      second: you are the only person that mentioned this masterpiece.

      apparently drake thinks so too now😭 insane that frank’s music is in that stage now where it’s being sampled. just shows he makes classic material.

    The way in which Frank uses his artistic freedom to tell stories through his lyrics and music is nothing short of remarkable, and it's no surprise that his music resonates so deeply with us. His ability to use his creative freedom to engage listeners is truly unparalleled, making his music a true masterpiece of modern art. Great breakdown Creative Minds this was phenomenal 💯

    I’ve been in trouble with myself making music since 2015 and always not finishing a track because of sharing it to the public while work in progress and end up not finishing it, its always a problem for me procastinating its been 7 years like this. This video opened up my mind to not share it and procastinate and work on the track till i finish it. Hopefully one day I will. Thanks for the Content i need this.

    Frank Ocean IS the voice of our generation. he revolutionized modern music allowing us to go deeper once again. My favourite album of his is the unofficial Lonny Breaux mixtape. That's my roadtrip album. there you feel his immersive world-building lyrical talent. Pyrite, Quickly, Acura Intergurl, Scared of Beautiful, Flight, Know Better and Richest Man in the Room are all ICONIC!!

      I was so happy to read this comment to see that other people know about that collection let alone can recall favourites ❤️ That mixtape will stay with me forever. Also, when you hear “Know Better” it’s easy to see why he ended up writing for Jason Derulo after this! Not only that but JR Rotem is credited on the production of a few of the songs on this collection, you can even hear his tags in a few. JR Rotem was the producer behind Jason Derulos breakout single “Whatcha Say”. Such a cool spiderweb I think 🕷️

    Love the songwriting analysis. These days lyrics are something overlooked and I still think it’s a very important part of a song, regardless of the aim. At least that’s how I approach my music. Ivy is a song that I think about a lot, it’s a 9/10 in everything you said in this video.
