your dad is seriously good at picking up on themes and the stories woven in the songs. it took me multiple listens to realize the story behind pyramid, and he got it on the first listen
i recommend reading the lyrics, similarly to how he is. when i really wanna dissect a song, i have a better time when reading along. however, he doesn't even have to pause the song and think. guy's insanely impressive
@@jakobplscook I mean sure but colloquially people refer to it as hip hop. I’m talking about the racist ass Grammys who call every black artist “hip hop” or “urban”
6:40 Thinking About You was originally a reference track that Frank made for a different artist but when his label heard it they told him he should use it instead. That was the start of Channel Orange. That’s why it was a single
I think he mentioned life isn’t linear/static so he doesn’t really care for these labels because they don’t encompass the ever changing dynamic state of an individual. I interpret it as he’s the bird not the cage no need to box him or his sexuality by any other means.
The meaning of these type of good reaction videos is bringing me back to the days when I first listened to these albums and share those tears or memories within the magic of music. Good job you guys keep it up
The song playing in the background on the last track is a song called Voodoo. Its not on any streaming platforms but it is on RUclips. You guys should do a reaction to it. One of my favorite frank ocean songs.
Pretty sure he’s bi but I’ve notice people use gay to describe him. I think it’s just a overall lack of knowledge that makes people in the music community automatically assume he’s Gay when they find out he likes guys.
@@gprada I'm not sure why everyone always assumed Chanel was about being bi. He only mentions men on that song. I'm pretty sure he means he sees both the masculine and feminine energies of the men he likes since that's what he's describing in the song.
I was kinda disappointed that dad didn't like jpegmafia's album, but hearing him enjoy channel orange makes me happy. It teaches me that, sometimes, people just have different music tastes. And that's okay. Makes it even more powerful when you do find an album that you can both connect with.
Jpegmafia's music is difficult for people who aren't super into rap anyways. For most music the more exposure to it the more you'll understand it and be able to listen to "weirder" music. Give him another few months of consistently listening to hip-hop and he'll be more likely to enjoy something like veteran
@@meya3521 i think thats kinda what op’s saying. i never recognized peggy as experimental until i put him up against more modern and commercialized rap. its easier for a rap fan to like him than a non rap fan
@@SB_WZRD the influence he has because of REALLY doing his own thing is bigger than he will ever be. I honestly feel like he nailed it. not my style but I really appreciate him.
i just found your channel from your chappell roan review and i’m so happy to be here. this is my favorite album of all time and pops really hit on every point of why i love it. crying over songs you’ve listened to for years is so real and it feels so good, it’s exactly how these songs make me feel. im about to watch your review of blond and im so ready to hear your thoughts!!!
Thanks you both reminding me how great this album is. I'm glad your dad was immediately into this. I would like to make some correction (I'm sure others have already made lol): Frank was born in California, but from the age of 5 he grew up in New Orleans, so he's really from New Orleans. And as far as I'm aware he came out as bisexual (not gay) right before the album dropped. He even changed Thinkin Bout You to add "boy" like right before the album dropped just to make it clear the song was about a guy.
Everything, the work, thought, time and patience that went into the creation of this album is all the reason why it’s still soo great! Im sure u know 🙌🏾👏🏾, enjoyed watching this!
@@putyouon btw Frank Ocean said in some magazine interview (heard this on dissect) that he used to go to AA meetings with his grandad when he was a kid. Some of the stories he heard there inspired the song crack rock
honestly listening to channel orange gets better with every listen, i was 8 when this album came out and it released a day before my birthday ! odd future was definitely a factor of my upbringing and i get so much nostalgia whenever i listen to this or WOLF
Frank Minimalistic style is godly. Guitars can do the work and some basic Synths and some samples. But time to time he'll have Grand Productions that's top notch. Pyramids is a good example and in his next album that's gonna be Nights.
What your dad said, I was the same way as a kid. Didn't ask for anything because I knew we didn't have it. I think sometimes as a parent they really may not be able to afford a $20 baseball. If it's the difference between paying bills and priorities, I get it. Sometimes those experiences push kids to go harder when they get older.
I didn't realize it until they started talking about him seeing the color orange a lot and then I realized I was wearing an orange shirt and in a room with orange walls!
I’ll comment again after the video but my friend has synesthesia and she sees music and sound as colors, in addition to hearing it. For example, my voice was yellow to her (i forgot the exact shade / description she used), and when i played music in the car (Faye Wong, one of the best Chinese and Mando/Cantopop singers of all time) she said “this is so beautiful..” while looking like she was looking closely at something. I looked at what she was looking at then realized she was just talking about the music, and must’ve been looking at it too
@@Hieroph4nt Yes! I love Fuzao. Ive also just gotten into her 1999 album with the pink cover, and im planning to play Yuyan soon. Karen Mok is another amazing C-Pop artist
John meyer, has said in an interview he didn’t bring this guitar to Frank’s house. once he heard the song he asked to borrow a guitar. also frank was a song writer before putting out his own album so that’s why it might have been “easier” to get big names on the album
@@putyouon please do the trilogy version (remaster) though coz with the original I don’t think the mixing is anywhere near as atmospheric. I’m sure High for this, HOB/GLASS TABLE GIRLS, Wicked games and The Knowing will blow your dads mind
@1:08:30 "Frank isn't hard to digest" I would personally disagree with this. I absolutely love Frank bur for some reason it takes me a while to get into a lot of his songs. Especially Blonde. I HATED it on the first listen, mostly because of how experimental and "avant garde" it is but now it's one of my favourite albums ever! Same with Endless.
I recently found your channel and I love the content you put out. You and your dad have a great taste in music, although I have disagreed with some opinions lol. I just wanted to say that sometimes, the info you have on some artists is a little off. I.e: Frank is bi not gay. Also, synesthesia is when a person can see sounds in their mind. Billie Eilish and Kanye both have synesthesia and that's how they'll explain it. It's great to see you share with your dad man and I love the setup you have. Keep on with the great content!!

I’m very impressed by the growth in ability to detect themes and broader narratives within hip hop by pops.
factsss even tho this ain’t a hip hop album
@@jakobplscook yes it is hiphop
@@jakobplscook I mean sure but colloquially people refer to it as hip hop. I’m talking about the racist ass Grammys who call every black artist “hip hop” or “urban”
@@Hieroph4nt it’s mainly rnb / pop w barely any hip hop at all lol.
Channel orange is so good, even pops would say "no skips"
@@mightymike9469 Ctrl or Channel Orange?
6:40 Thinking About You was originally a reference track that Frank made for a different artist but when his label heard it they told him he should use it instead. That was the start of Channel Orange. That’s why it was a single
Can’t wait to see you guys do blonde such a huge difference in sound and I’m really excited to see how your dad reacts to it.
Frank has pretty much said multiple times he’s Bi not gay
Nah bro there ain't such thing as a bi man, they're gay
@@Fang_Astro uhhhh yes?
I think he mentioned life isn’t linear/static so he doesn’t really care for these labels because they don’t encompass the ever changing dynamic state of an individual.
I interpret it as he’s the bird not the cage no need to box him or his sexuality by any other means.
Like in oldie “im high and im bi” 😮💨 what a king
@@titozdiazoh wait I’m straight
Amazing album Frank is a legend. Super happy Mike liked it. Hopefully we get a blonde reaction soon.
Lmao dude I was cracking up at your Dad admiring and acknowledging his undeniable attraction for Mr. Ocean
How your dad reacted to sweet life puts a smile on my face man. Easy sub!
Appreciate that! 🧡
My favorite album of all time! This album just makes me feel warm and sets such a good scenery in my head in every song, truly a masterpiece.
The meaning of these type of good reaction videos is bringing me back to the days when I first listened to these albums and share those tears or memories within the magic of music. Good job you guys keep it up
Thanks a lot 🧡
The intro "video game noise" is the original PS1 Start up noise
so great! One of my absolute favorite albums, it’s always a joy to watch you and your dad
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoy! 🧡
the ‘Not Just Money’ story really hit me.. thanks for sharing
The song playing in the background on the last track is a song called Voodoo. Its not on any streaming platforms but it is on RUclips. You guys should do a reaction to it. One of my favorite frank ocean songs.
got on my buttercream, silk shirt and it’s 🔅VERSACE🔅
i’m so glad you guys are finally doing this album!! it’s in my top 5 of all time 💗
Frank ocean is bi not gay right? Thought he made that clear with the chanel song "I see both sides like chanel"
Pretty sure he’s bi but I’ve notice people use gay to describe him. I think it’s just a overall lack of knowledge that makes people in the music community automatically assume he’s Gay when they find out he likes guys.
oh my god that whole song went over my head 💀💀💀💀💀
Yeah he’s Bi
@@gprada I'm not sure why everyone always assumed Chanel was about being bi. He only mentions men on that song. I'm pretty sure he means he sees both the masculine and feminine energies of the men he likes since that's what he's describing in the song.
One of my favorite albums ever, please have dad listen to Childish Gambino “Awaken My Love”.
I second this
He's gonna love "Sweet life" and "Pink matter"....
Amazing episode! Was waiting for this, thanks for taking my request (one of many im sure) ☺️
Frank Ocean sang Thinking About You live on SNL and the VMA's. You should have your Dad watch one of them, it's a crazy live performance.
I was kinda disappointed that dad didn't like jpegmafia's album, but hearing him enjoy channel orange makes me happy. It teaches me that, sometimes, people just have different music tastes. And that's okay. Makes it even more powerful when you do find an album that you can both connect with.

@@skylarkesselring6075 i like rap and never found his stuff to be a stand out, though i do respect his art and realize thats just my taste.

38:18 is very fitting because i too questioned how can someone make a song this good
Been waiting for this one, banger video
I Know That Your dad would LOVE the miseducation of lauryn hill… it is a masterpiece! Please do that
Will definitely do it

I love how your dad was able to break down Sweet life.
Ive been waiting for this since I found you guys. 🙏bless

Now everyone has a dad 💔
You have both of us ❤️
Wow wonderful reaction
Y’all , bob the poppop and turning the tables are my favorite reaction channels rn
Ps: when’s the mbdtf reaction coming?
Thank you! And 🔜
Loved your comments on the songs especially Sweet life, dad was spot on!! Great reaction and analysis of a perfect record
honestly listening to channel orange gets better with every listen, i was 8 when this album came out and it released a day before my birthday ! odd future was definitely a factor of my upbringing and i get so much nostalgia whenever i listen to this or WOLF
Love this reaction & this channel! thank you guys for making my days better🫶🏼
Did wish you guys included
Golden Girl with tyler from this album
Thanks a lot for watching ✌🏻🧡
Just started this video and had to say - The intro after the talking is the Playstation 2 boot up music - Hits different hearing it!
You should definitely to his whole Discography Nostalgia Ultra and Endless too.
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you for watching 🧡
Great reaction guys!
Thank you!
You and your dad are so cool chill in this vid. Enjoyed the review and the stories

Fire video bro!
In 'Not Just Money' it's his friends moms voice, same as the one from 'Be Yourself' in Blonde

I mean it's a classic ☺️ and this reaction was very vibey~~ loved it
Thank you 🧡
im actually mad that they didnt realize the “speakers and arcade intro” is actually a ctr tv and the ps1 sounds
Ps1 was before my time ps2 is where it started for me 🥲
3 Albums, don't sleep on Endless. Lmk if you need a CDQ version
27:15 Coming to America i think haha
I love this man ✊🏽🖤
58:00 it's ok dad everyone came a little bit the first time we heard him sing this song
if dad like this, he's gonna like daniel ceaser

also frank was a song writer before putting out his own album so that’s why it might have been “easier” to get big names on the album
BASED frank reaction LFG
I like this album a lot, but blonde is just so different and personal. Can’t wait till you guys react to that🙂
Please show him endless then blond next
Your Dad will love Anderson .Paak and Awaken, My Love!
2 official albums but nostalgia, Ultra came before Channel Orange and was amazing.
Nostalgia Ultra would be a good one to review as well
i love frank
Hasbullah!
i need to see him react to We're All Alone in This Together by Dave such a good album, one of my favorites
Aight Gents, I'm always game for a Frank reaction.
Earn the sub!!!
✌🏻🧡
Y’all gotta do a lot jcole & 21
My dad has heard that song when it came out he loves it
Frank Ocean may have sampled Bennie and the Jets by Elton on Super Rich Kids
pink matter
Not sure if you’ve heard but you gotta show your dad house of balloons trilogy version
Definitely gonna do the weeknd! Hob is a classic
@@putyouon please do the trilogy version (remaster) though coz with the original I don’t think the mixing is anywhere near as atmospheric. I’m sure High for this, HOB/GLASS TABLE GIRLS, Wicked games and The Knowing will blow your dads mind
@@Harveygregorxotwod spittin
@@Harveygregorxotwod I agree! Weeknds vocals are better for me on the Trilogy mix.
Please do Awaken My Love
Blonde def has to be next

I was comparing it to jpegmafia which we just listened to haha. Huge difference
Hi! I really suggest you listen Moses Sumney’s “græ”. It isn’t very known but I think you will like it!
This, aromantic or the Blackalachia Live album for a mix of both albums.
@@theblackdaria_ yeah agreed!
Ye, Pharrell, Stevie Wonder, Lorde and more all have synesthesia
Whoa!! Didn’t know that
So far What is his Favortie album You guys have reacted to?
Please react to Atmosphere - when life gives you lemons paint that shit gold
Bro, nice reaction!
i feel quite weird that he made rings for umm you already know what and being this amazing musically
Yall need to react to blonde
Lost in the heat of it all
Ka - Honor killed the samurai
Y'all should react yo NFR by Lana or anything by SOPHIE or Typical of Me by Laufey, I'm sure he will like it
u guys should react to the new steve lacy album, that would be a good watch!
Came here for your pyramids review but enjoyed the rest
Appreciate it!
wait a second I just noticed you two have the same name
We have the same last name too 😧
Would love for you guys to give your reactions to Nostalgia ULTRA and Endless
The haircut is tuff
Thank you!

PLEASE POST YOUR DAD REACTING TO BLONDE!!
Please react to (Ready To Die) - Biggie Smalls. You're dad will absolutely love the word play and flow of the GOAT.
Coming sooner rather than later ✌🏻👀
@@putyouon God Bless you're heart
PLEASE DO BLONDE!!🙏
Frank is bi. It didn’t come out til later he was into guys although it was heavily hinted and people got that impression from songs like forest gump

Damn no reaction to the pyramids transition
I Vote Any and All reactions to THE WEEKND but I also nominate Gnarls Barkley because NO ONE Reacts to those TWO AMAZING ALBUMS
