Frank Ocean spent most of his youth in New Orleans before moving to California to pursue songwriting. There's not much more personal background I feel the need to give here. Frank is a storyteller and his music speaks for itself. Whatever you need to know, he'll tell you. Or rather, he'll take you there in the music.
Frank released his debut project Nostalgia, Ultra in 2011, a mixtape he self-released after frustrations with his label. At the time, he was perhaps best known as a member of the Odd Future collective. But the vivid lyricism, emotion-laden vocals, and unique genre-mixing sounds of Nostalgia soon began earning him more fans of his own accord. Ocean was in motion.
Loosie "Thinkin 'Bout You" became a hit among fans and blogs online before the song even saw an official release. Frank was soon collaborating with the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye West on their album Watch the Throne. He announced his debut album Channel Orange with a mysterious video in early June 2012, soon followed by the nearly 10-minute long single "Pyramids". The album received critical praise, saw Frank's profile grow further, and culminated in a Grammy win for the singer.
Save for a few collaborations and tumblr posts, Frank Ocean then went quiet for nearly three years. In spring 2015, he updated his blog with a photo of himself next to a pile of magazines and a mysterious caption referencing "two versions" and July 2015. The month came and went without any album, magazine or word from Frank.
A year later, August 2016 began with Frank Ocean fans huddled around their computers or phones, carefully watching a sporadic and mysterious video stream of an unidentified warehouse with Frank woodworking within. After multiple starts and stops and a New York Times-reported release date that passed without any word from Frank once more, the live-stream re-appeared on Aug

i was just wondering because songs he’s been dropping after blonde like provider and DHL have some rapping or like in my room is mainly all rapping. now this freestyle we got on apple is also him basically rapping. tbh i trust frank no matter what direction he goes in artistically cus he never rushes and makes sure the shit is sounding tight before it’s out but what u guys think do u want him to do a album with him mainly rapping?
- Vocals from Three Stacks (Pink Matter/Solo [Reprise])
- Some good ol' whistling (Forrest Gump/Seigfried)
- Dialogue skits at the end
Who's got some more?
I've been listening to it again and it's so amazing, every song flows perfectly into each other and the production sounds like one guy did it. Like Frankie did it in his fucking bedroom my man like can you BELIEVE THAT SHIT. I love it. Unity is my favourite song of allll time. Thank u x

i did not give it the chance but when i heard it in its full length that shit was a master piece
I think anywhere from 250K-300K
I get that he needed to release an album to get out of his label contract, but couldn’t he have just released endless regularly, done a full rollout on Apple Music and chart with that album. Then he just releases blond a couple of weeks or even a year later while announcing his record label and gets another release cycle and sales. That way he could still keep close connections with people in high places, make a lot more money and establish boys don’t cry as an actual record label. Am I missing something?

I couldn't find a civilized Frank Ocean Endless discussion thread, so I decided to make one. What are your thoughts on the album, was it worth the two and a half week wait?
