Frank Ocean - Swim Good

Directed by Nabil Elderkin, here are the official visuals for my favourite track from Frank Ocean's free album, nostagia:ULTRA. I like the direction Nabil went with on this one, it kinda reminds me of the Dark Fantasy scene from KanYe's Runaway film. Nothing but love for Mr. Ocean.

Tyler, The Creator - She (Feat. Frank Ocean)

Wasn't a massive fan of Goblin - in fact I'm not a massive fan of Odd Future in general. However, here are some cool visuals for my favourite track from Tyler's sophmore album.

Frank Ocean - U Got It

A tad late on this, but here is a new piece of music from Odd Future's extremely talented R&B crooner, Frank Ocean. It's a little more upbeat and radio friendly than his mixtape stuff, but still incredibly sick. Might be wrong, but I don't think he'll stay with Odd Future for very long.

David Stewart v Frank Ocean

David Stewart is putting the work in right now with these covers. This week he has decided to take on a mash-up of two of my favourite Frank Ocean songs, Swim Good & Novocain. I'm a massive fan of the upcoming Odd Future star and I love what David has done with this cover. Download HERE.

Tyler, The Creator - She (Feat. Frank Ocean) x Nightmare

Now I had a bit of a Twitter rant about Odd Future the other day, but thought I would save my true opinions until I had heard Tyler's new album, Goblin. Having listened to it twice now, my thoughts haven't changed much. I love what they're doing for the game, but a lot of it is purely hype and the fact that it's a bunch of young men not caring about anything, or anyone. Tyler is a decent rapper, but the beats (bar a couple) are not for me and throughout the album there is far too much swearing. It's not like I'm against swearing, especially in Hip-Hop, but when you're using "fuck" every other word, then I'm worrying for you as a lyricist. The album is pretty enjoyable (was more enjoyable than expected if anything), and I'm sure I will be listening to it more over the next few weeks, but I don't think it's anything to get overly excited about (just like his debut album). I'm sure it will go down as a piece of history, but I really don't think it has the crudentials to be classed as a classic. Below are the two stand out tracks for me (Frank Ocean is exceptional), but Yonkers still steals the show.

Odd Future became boring as quickly as Charlie Sheen did, unfortunately.
