Frank Ocean’s new album didn’t drop as promised, Twitter reacts with disappointment

It’s Friday and still there is no new music from alternative singer Frank Ocean.

The openly gay singer/songwriter promised to drop Boys Don’t Cry, the follow-up to his 2012 sleeper album Channel Orange, in July. But July came and went without a peep from the 28-year-old New Orleans musician.

For some reason, fans are waiting in anticipation for this album as if Ocean is a platinum-selling R&B icon with a stack of hits in his catalog.

It’s disturbing to see people so emotionally invested in an album from a mediocre artist with no track record.

Is it because this album is rumored to be gay-themed album? Or is it just because Ocean is trending on Twitter?

Random: Social Media makes Frank Ocean a way bigger star then he actually is lol

What if #FrankOcean's plan is to announce there is no album, teach us that life is full of disappointment, and fly away in his spaceship?

If #FrankOcean releases the album at 11:59 today just to be funny, we're scrappin.

Frank Ocean makes me feel like that dumb girlfriend who gets back with her ex after he cheated on her 485 times cus he said "he changed"

Who the hell are all these ppl with the Twitter check-mark? Or whatever it’s called. Hadn’t heard of half of them. I’m gonna ask for one and see what happens.

On topic: didn’t even know or cared he had a new album coming out. ?
Str8tUpMenace

I agree with Sophia and Zachary LMAO
KcoolMuziq

Sophomore albums are ALWAYS the hardest for any artist. Frank is under a lot of pressure.Plus add to that he has the weight of his sexuality being constantly brought up & scrutinized.

1/2 them folks probably aren’t even gonna buy it ??
ReadingIsFundamental4Real

Somebody let me know when I give a damn..
Taylordanes

why are these blogs creating so much hype around him? how much is his publicist paying these people to keep this going is my question??
nucynu25

Lmao …idk why this tickled me
nicelyput32

Never heard of him.
yes yes, ya’ll!

I like Frank Ocean.

OT: the white man who punched George Zimmerman called him a “n***er lover”?!? Say what now? ? Somebody lyin’.
gellie

Should’ve stayed in the closet if he wanted a career in RnB. I hate to be insensitive about it, but it’s one thing to know…it’s another thing to KNOW. All these folks gassing him up, *applause* *applause*…dude fell off a cliff right after he came out.

i dont thiNk thats the recent guy though. and thats according to GZ.

Who are these people waiting for his album to drop?? I mean, who? I’m thinking they were all born in 1995 and on.. Welp, TGIF!
hottlanta

Donald Trump said he heard the album just like he saw that plane with all of that money.
yes yes, ya’ll!

This from TMZ so consider the source but:

Zimmerman claims the puncher — a white man identified only as Eddie — and his friends recognized him. He says one of Eddie’s friends asked him to prove he was “that guy.” Zimmerman says he took out his driver’s license and also told the group he’d shot Trayvon in self-defense.

According to Zimmerman, that pissed off Eddie, who then said .. “You better get the f*** out here you n***** lover, you ain’t welcome here.” Moments later, Zimmerman says Eddie punched him in the face.
yes yes, ya’ll!

Oops. I posted a reply under my original comment that was intended for you. See above.

Much ado about nothing. People act like Channel Orange was such a masterpiece. Hype outsells actual talent these days.

@EndlessONEder has it right. I don’t understand the following and why folks are pressed.

You too….LOL.

So I know who J/Jas Prince is but was this a play off words on Jay Z’s investment into getting Prince’s catalog on Tidal? I’ve been wanting to ask someone since I heard the song. I guess I could look on Genuis… LOL
Lolalao

His publicist did a heck job. He’s trending on Twitter, has a Snapchat filter, and people making YouTube vids about this. They did a heck of a job..

He wants his check from Cash Money Records.
Jessy

Makes sense. Just as Jas wanted his check from Cash Money. I still think it’s a double entendre tho
Luv Pitties

I would love to see that interview that had Whitney making those expressions. Is anyone else tired of those Arthur memes?
BLACK *I*C*E*

Who’s even thinking about him??
Mel

He came out the closet and his career didn’t even take off like he thought it would. The only artists that can take a hiatus and have me anticipating their new music is Maxwell and Sade.

Why are people waiting for this garbage?
?Patty Kakes?

I’ve been saying that since the first album. I’m still trying to listen to what is so great about it
?Patty Kakes?

Neither do I SMH

I like Frank Ocean’s music. Leave this man alone and let him perfect his art
PrettyMe

He already had a career. He’s a major songwriter and producer. That was his first album as an artist in the spotlight.

That album track tho..

DEAD

I bet he won’t break his promise of dropping the soap….SMH @ these new niggas thinking that being a fucboi is cool.
The Last Unicorn

Any fool that doesn’t understand why there is such a huge anticipation for the new Frank Ocean album has not really listened to his work and probably do not understand what a master poet Ocean is. Frank’s lyrics are epic.
