K, so…if you read that CDC fact sheet, you’d see that the rates of H** infection for black women are more-than double that of/for black men – 5,400 vs 2,400! And the rates of infection for gay/bisexual black men are 2x that of said str8 black women – 10,800 vs 5,400!! Have a look at the chart: **/topics/aa/ <– Here's the CDC chart numbers:īlack IDUs (intravenous drug users): 1,200 I wonder how all those black women who caught that H** from DL/Bisexual/Gay black men feel about Frank Ocean? I mean, after all, according to the latest CDC fact sheet, it IS Gay/Bisexual Black Men who are infecting unsuspecting, innocent black women at ALARMING RATES! “I don’t believe you,” you now say?! Well, here, read for yourselves. Is that his “Gangsta-DL-Thug ‘If-I-cant-get-no-d***-tonight-s***-gone-pop-off’ you can push this dude as much as you’d like, HE IS FINISHED! “The gays” don’t want him, and R&B/Hip Hop will NEVER again accept him! FRANK OCEAN’S CAREER IS FINISHED. Guess all that ‘c***-sucking/booty-hole nibbling’ “DL Activity” sure can put some miles on a staff, I might have missed it(happens from time-to-time), but on which chart is Frank Ocean #1?! I’m now on Billboard, and was just on hitsdailydouble – where is he #1.?!?! Dude is only 24 and ALREADY has gray in his beard?! Additionally, "No Church in the Wild," written by Jay-Z and Kanye West and featuring Ocean's vocals, won the 2013 Grammy for best rap/sung collaboration.Damn!!. Most notably, the album went on to win the 2013 Grammy Award for best urban contemporary album. Like nostalgia ULTRA, channel ORANGE met with almost universal critical acclaim, topping music charts around the world and earning Ocean comparisons to such R&B greats as Prince and Stevie Wonder. A week later, channel ORANGE was released in all other formats.
Ocean also made the album available to stream in full on his Tumblr site. Within hours of its release, the album was No.
Ocean’s second album, channel ORANGE, was released for download on iTunes on July 10, 2012, a week earlier than scheduled, to avoid the album being leaked on the Internet. Many of his colleagues in the music business immediately showed their public support for his courageous decision to be open about his sexuality, although he made a point not to label his orientation. Also in July, Ocean posted an open letter to his website, in which he revealed that he had feelings for both men and women. The following month he performed another track from the album on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. In June 2012, he unveiled a new track, Pyramids, again via his Tumblr site. Still riding the wave of success that followed his release of nostalgia, ULTRA, Ocean began to work on a follow-up album to be released by Def Jam records, with whom he had begun to repair his relationship. Also impressed with his efforts were superstars Jay-Z and Kanye West, who, at Beyoncé’s prompting, enlisted Ocean to contribute vocals for two tracks from their August 2011 album, Watch the Throne. The album was widely acclaimed, and received enthusiastic reviews from NPR, Rolling Stone and the BBC, among many others. Ocean’s self-released recording featured a mixture of both originally composed music and heavy samples of tracks from the likes of Coldplay, the Eagles and MGMT.
He released the recordings as a free download on his Tumblr site, without Def Jam’s knowledge, announcing via Twitter that he had done so because the label had not been supportive of his efforts after signing him. In February 2011, Ocean released a mixtape titled nostalgia, ULTRA. The following year, Ocean officially changed his name to Christopher Francis Ocean, believing that the new name would look better on magazine covers. Around this time, he also met producer Tricky Stewart, who helped land Ocean a contract with Def Jam as a solo artist. That same year, Ocean began to work with the Los Angeles-based hip-hop collective Odd Future, most notably with Tyler, the Creator, who encouraged Ocean in his songwriting. He contributed to the writing of the Justin Bieber track “Bigger” in 2008, and the following year he co-wrote the track “I Miss You” with Beyoncé Knowles for her album 4. Eventually, he got a songwriting deal and began collaborating with producers. To make money during this time, Ocean took a job processing insurance claims.
However, as he continued to make meaningful contacts within the music industry, he decided to extend his stay. Ocean moved to Los Angeles to continue his recording projects, intending to stay only a short while.
