@@cherokie2091 is that a problem?
It's one my favorites, yet i'd give it an 8, for being a bit too long and uneventful.
9,3
I'm literally in love with this man.
Same
But dont tell him that cause he Will think that hes dreaming
Same. It's been like a decade since I first heard him and still... same.
frank oceans lips..... are perfect
With those glasses, he's the spitting image of Malcolm X. He even speaks with the same wisdom and conviction. :)
i was thinking the same thing.
Wisdom and conviction, you said it
Good thing he doesn't preach the same acts of terrorism Malcom X did
Except he doesn’t want to kill people
Campos, ya deja de llorar
2021, 11 years later and this is still one of the longest interviews there is of frank

"Nobody knows where frank goes when frank goes away" - Chance
What song???😂😭
@@sherwintavarez8539 i looked it up and i don't think it's a song just something that chance said
He's wonderful. Just really insightful, open-minded, and brilliant. You can tell he really enjoys life and the presence of other people. Oh, and he's cute af lol
The song at the beginning is Strawberry Swing
Thank God for you
A cover of the original by Coldplay, he samples them a couple times in nostalgia ultra
thank you so much
Thank you 🙏🏽
frank ocean bbc does not look good in my search history
Kawhi cant i sniff your Leotard b r u uh h h
Congrats, here's your 69th like
to make it extra nice
what does that even me-
*oh*
HAHSUHAHA-
HAH-
His talking voice is so soothing. I could listen to it all day.
Frank Ocean is such an intelligent, well-spoken man. It's really nice to see something new in R&B. His music has so much meaning and I love his originality.
He's so lovely.
Just like me 😙
Donald Trump maga muthafuka
Love his calm presence and energy
I love this man so much. I must meet him one day.
Hes very practical with his money i saw those frames hes wearing in the medicad section at the eye spot in the bronx. Smart man!!!!!
This is the best comment on this vid
LMAOOOOOOOOO
PLS DONT TUCH MY RAF
bro i’m crying it’s 2 am and i’m watching frank ocean interviews and jesus his voice is so CALMING but it makes me *N* *U* *T* what a king
Hahahahahaha
WHAT YHE HELLL
what a comment jesus 🤣
he's always been on another level
May be the best artist of this generation, it's up for debate
freak ocean , Kendrick Lamar and kanye west is the greatest of this generation
Add Chance the Rapper to that list
Gambino too
lol, no.
Travis and frank
Blonde is so amazing, but Endless NEEDS to get some MORE LOVE.
Blank People maybe when it isn't an Apple Music exclusive
it's really exclusive. it's only in video form and it's an hour. it really isn't that listenable sadly
Endless wasnt meant to be a good album. It was really just a throwaway
@@ezay8694 completely disagree. just a different experience, definitely not as grand as blonde but I wouldnt call the album just "throwaways"
Flynn.exe the entire purpose of Endless was to get out of his contract with his old record label. He released Blonded RIGHT after Endless. Endless was never meant to be a good or premium album. It was just a means of getting out of his contract
Idc if he's "gay" "bi" or "yellow"! He's talented as fuck and talent doesn't discriminate. He needs to drop this new record im tired of waiting!!!
preach
Troy Fox that's a very open perspective to have man your not discriminating against anyone fairplay:)
Whatd you think of em?
He dropped it
@@hide3518 hahahah 7 years after I sure hope so...
I understand why frank is low key and hates the lime light but man the fan in me wishes he would do more interviews an amazing and articulate human being god bless you frank ❤️
searching random wikipedia pages lol, ive only recently started listening to frank ocean because ive only been listening to contemporary rnb for a year but goddamnit this guy is good
David Hatle To be honest I wouldn't call him contemporary RnB. While he is a modern incarnation of the genre, I'd say stuff like Roy Woods or 6lack are more contemporary RnB than Frank.
Strawberry swing always gives me deep nostalgia & chills bc of how beautiful it is even years later
when he smiles, i smile
Y'all saying that he went ghost but maybe he tryna find himself and working on some music that's on the next level. 💯💯
thats what alot of people been doing.
+NetflixGirls I know, we have gotta give him time so he can perfect his work GOD IS GOOD
jqueen exactly. i wanna know your thoughts on cherry bomb?
and now we have next level frank
I'm from the future, the man just drop a song about DHL
Over a million people came to this video just to hear this man speak . That’s how rare it is
it impossible not to love a guy like frank ocean regardless of gender
His gender is male..... smh at u
+stardust02us He meant himself
stardust02us he was saying even if your a straight male
I think I'm in love with him.
I love Frank's sincerity and that is what draws me to his music because it comes across as very honest. Frank is truly a talented artist.
this made me cry. i miss u frank ocean,
He looks like Malcolm X in this
Yup!
Daniel Diasgranados Yeah their jawlines kind of look similar
Daniel Diasgranados Shit man good call he does. Definitely got the right glasses to pull off the look.
Denzel looks identical almos
Almost*
He needs to work with Kendrick!! They would be such a dope combo!!
yessssss
+Merve Kara they have a song from long ago, i think it was leaked.
***** bend ya
+Jared The Kid its called strawberry swing
Kendrick produced on blonde
they're gonna be quoting this dude in the year 4000 like da vinci
hearing strawberry swing was so refreshing
The album brought me here
same
which one?
BLOND
+Minas Adonai Blonde
“If I could do anything from today on it’s just really tryna do whatever it is I do at a level of excellence. That’s really all I’m tryna do while I’m here”
He is an intelligent, articulate, talented, honorable young man who has integrity. These are the qualities that makes his music sound even better to me. His use of imagery and language in his music is wonderful.
this man is just impossible to describe ...he just suprises me every time...love him
The intro and hearing strawberry swing playing in the back immediately made me regress
frank needs to do more interviews like these
I think this is my 5th time watching this.
Just started listening to frank ocean in 2020! I’m really liking his music!! 🙏💯🙌
he's so humbled, and genuine. he's a great man, and a great role model.
JESUS help me he's so well spoken and talented and gorgeous - frank baby I miss you so much I deadass could listen to channel orange everyday til I die but I'd love to have another album too 😭
i love him.. for real
Such a talented, intelligent, handsome man. His voice is amazing singing or speaking. COME BACK ALREADY, you’re killing us!
he look so much like malcolm x ... true
I’m still here in 2019...Frank come home...we miss you baby🥺😔
He is probably the most talented writer out there he is amazing
This is the first time I've heard him speak! Of course even his speaking voice is gorgeous.
Nostalgia/ultra, what an album like really what an album!!! :)
i find it bizarre how hes a member of Odd Future, hes absolutely nothing like the rest of them, musically and personality wise.
Guess that's why they're called Odd Future
he is similar to some of them, you're probably just thinking of Tyler's eccentric character when Syd is also mellow and so is her brother a little bit. They all have different personalities
Soft Poo OF is really about being yourself just like how Tyler is really different from black males in America and syd,earl and you can where frank fits
Soft Poo You could say the same about The Internet. 😉
Odd Future is like Crazy or Calm
get his sexual orientation out of your mind...this man is a genius with GREAT music...stop being negative
what you gotta do is not get his sexual orientation out of your mind, you gotta accept it's part of him. getting it "out of your mind" is removing a piece of him.
If you listen to his records you have to accept his sexuality.
Obviously not saying you in particular, just saying to the people in general, your message was just a good launch pad for this particular thought.
***** i said that because when people let his sexual orientation take away the fact that he is a great artist
Jamecia Gadsden It actually makes him an even better artist! His sexuality makes him more likable, but also a target for hate. He's a VERY private guy and I really want to know more about him. I want to know more about his personal life. In-depth and personal. The fact that he's gay/bi makes him a lot more interesting in my opinion.
Loveisfun123 yep. Relatable
Tory Shaye Why do you care is the question? Being bi in the eccentric industry is as novel as saying you like cheese
True artists such as Frank, are hard to come by. Inna world full of riff-raff it's nice to know there is quality out and about.
i've been rewatching this constantly over the past 8 and a half years for inspiration
i love him so much it hurts
Not sure if maybe it’s cuz I’m smoking but this interview made me cry 😂😂😂 maybe it’s the love i got for this dude
Marcuss ME!
one of the most intellectual artists out there. mad respect.
he has a great personality an I love the fact that he's inspirational through his music; so emotional in a good way. LOVE THIS MAN
You know…. You know ….. i am obessed with frank ocean’s speaking method.
Just found this video, couldn’t be happier that i did
PLEASE RELEASE ANOTHER DAMN ALBUM
here after the 2 previews and the new DHL single
We miss you so much.
come back frank we love you🌐
I’m tearing up just watching this...because this is how much I miss hearing his voice....come back Frank 💕
7:01 - they are the heros of his generation and he made a song with all of them!
hes just so adorable and his vibe is a1
I MISS HIM I NEED NEW MUSIC AND INTERVIEWS
I am constantly coming back to this piece. Being a big fan of Frank, I thoroughly enjoy seeing his evolution as an artist.
Frank Ocean is a rare person. Please come out more
he is one of a kind
He’s such a beautiful soul
hes so insightful and deep and amazing ! i hope i meet people like him
When this speaks man makes me emotional
My hero
Frank baby boy..I'm here... you can come back now.❤🥺🥺
one of the best singers of our time
How the fuck am i just now watching this
hes so fucking amazing. no one can ever make my heart and soul feel this type of way.
He's just so deep and genuine! This dude!
I need more especials with him. Hear him talk, see him smile...A hug would be dope too.
Frank Ocean with glasses reminds me of Malcolm X's figure
okay frank. blonde is great, what tf you been doing to make it? 4 years of magic?
cant forget endless. i honestly preferred endless over blonde by a lot more
excuse me
4 years of actual moments. He stated in a recent interview (I believe with NY times) from 2016 that he traveled a lot and did a bunch of shit for the past few years which he used to create Blonde and Endless.
Camryn and Taylor Mind over matter is magic, he does magic
The last 5 seconds of this cracks me up! And what a great guy :)
HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS
the part where he says he likes to tell stories is such a perfect way to describe his music. I love listening to forest gump, we all try and american wedding but i always find myself continuously focusing on the lyrics and the story. I fucking love frank ocean.
what a fuckin dude. wise as fuck
#FindFrankOcean
who’s still watching this in 2021 and can’t stop rewatching it??
i wish i was there for it. i feel like an era is coming to a close
"Yeahh lets just slow mo that and put it on the discovery channel" love frank ocean!!
