he's at most bisexual.

I'd love Frank Ocean like he did a man at 19

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #4503 on:** July 07, 2012, 05:54:15 PM »

There were rumors about him for awhile. He kinda of stirred the flame again a few months ago on that OF Oldie song ("I'm high and I'm bi - wait I'm straight"). I'm glad the process has been smooth, and even people in the hip hop community have responded well. I still doubt a rapper could get away with this though.

Ultimately his audience was already quite female, white, and alternative. He'll do fine. Personally I didn't really go crazy over his mixtape - I thought it was alright. I'm more into The Weeknd. Who seems even gayer tbh

I straight up cried when I read the letter he put up: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6me6uSdO81qdrz3yo1_1280.png

Dude's a fuckin powerful writer! He needs to make some books on the side.

Not trying to be an ass, but most black people refuse to acknowledge the difference between gay and bi when it comes to dudes.

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #4506 on:** July 07, 2012, 07:02:29 PM »

that isn't at all intrinsic to just black people.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #4507 on:** July 07, 2012, 07:07:07 PM »

a whole lot of gay people think the same and don't recognize bi people as not being gay

Listening to the new Smashing Pumpkins album. It's. . . wait, it's actually pretty good? . . .What?

Almost makes me want to give Zeitgeist another shot (yikes).

I gave this a few listens last week and I love it. It gets better each time I listen to it. It's a great ride from beginning to end.

Really digging the Frank Ocean album. He overdid it with the absurd number of segues, but otherwise, it's stacked with good tracks.

I will say, though, relegating "White" to a vocal-less segue was an awful decision. The original is just fucking incredible. I'm considering throwing together a mix without all the segues and the original version replacing the one with John Mayer.

Spotify has taken over everything for me, to be honest. Gladly paying the monthly fee for it.

Also Eric P, any thoughts on the Fang Island shit, or them in general? I know they're from Brooklyn so I'm sure you've seen them around at some point.

new venue in Bushwick called The Well.

http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/notebook/2012/07/09/120709gonb_GOAT_notebook_frerejones

tickets are $20.

Quote

Bushwick is getting a new music venue and high-end bar called the Well, and its initial show is going to be a homecoming for Cam’ron, the leader of the now more or less reunited Diplomats, commonly known as Dipset. His appearance on July 14 is part of an inaugural party that stretches from 4 to 10 P.M. The Well’s managing partners, Shay Vishawadia and Josh Richholt, have obtained part of the massive Hittleman Brewery, a historic building at 272 Meserole Street. In the front is a bar with twenty kinds of champagne and a wall of liquor, but mostly beer—three hundred varieties; in the back is an eleven-thousand-square-foot outdoor performance space, and that’s where Cam’ron will hold court. Cam’ron is one of hip-hop’s most inventive and original m.c.s, and also one of its most maddeningly combative: he and his mates Jim Jones and Juelz Santana spent a great deal of the past decade having minor feuds and releasing terrible action movies. These days, he’d be wise to cough up an album; maybe helping to christen a new space will put him in the right frame of mind. ♦

It was tough because tomorrow's Brooklyn Hip hop fest is rumored to feature the reunion of Leaders of the New School
