      Lmao dumbass that happened once at a OFWGKTA stan concert where it was hyped for weeks that the secret guest is going to be Frank Ocean and those stans expected no one else...Jesus Christ, Buddha and Mohammed(PBUH) themselves could have shown up as the secret guest and gotten booed offstage. Aint no other stage in the world ever going to boo drake.

    There's a youtube channel that has been uploading all the old Odd Future mixtapes to youtube in topic format. If you search "blarf cease and desist" its the channel that uploaded the video with the pink and green borders

    If you could bottle this and sell it, ugh. Loved and hated that year but this album gave me a new breathe of fresh air in the R&B genre.
