“In My Room”

Today the mysterious Frank Ocean blessed his fans with some surprise merchandise and it raises eyebrows. It is unclear if this release has anything to do with the highly anticipated yet unconfirmed album later on this year. Many Frank fans are expecting him to release some form of work later this year due to timing, his PrEP club, and his expected performances at Coachella 2020. Frank has released two studio albums Channel Orange on July 10,2012 and Blonde on August 20,2016. Both albums are four years apart and with high expectation that an album is coming soon fans speculate that an album is for sure coming to fit the four year timing release. Frank Ocean has also been hosting a queer nightclub called PrEP where he has often revealed snippets of songs that fans expect to be on the new album. Lastly everyone is aware that Frank works on his own time and doesn’t perform live often so when he does, he usually has something to follow along with it and his Coachella performance later in April just might confirm that something is coming. Needless to say you can’t rush perfection so us fans will have to wait to see what Frank has in store for us, but in the meantime feel free to check out his website and merch.

Today we’re gonna talk about standards and pride! When you do work, do you do the bare minimum or do you exceed expectations? personally, I am an over achiever, I like to excel far past the minimum, but I commonly put myself into a pit or some type hole doing this. I would advise to keep high standards and always work hard but it’s not safe mentally to do this. If you’re a fast learner then maybe but otherwise, focus on completing the task rather than going above and beyond. Remember to put your pride to the side, sometimes we become too prideful and block blessings. We make poor decisions and let sinful intentions drive our motivation. In the end be smart about things but truly do whats best for you.

We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values – Jerry Springer

Just here to remind y’all that we go on Christmas Break tomorrow!! Be safe and make good decisions. REMEMBER Christmas is about family and giving not just receiving!!

The LA based rap boyband dropped their long awaited video for their song “SUGAR” The song appears on their sixth studio album GINGER. The group has at least 14 member but only 5 of them are on the song. Kevin Abstract ( the leader of the group), Ryan Beatty, Dom McLennon, Bearface, and Matt Champion. The song fuses vocals with mellow rap and truly just sounds astounding. There is no true way to explain the video and the only advice I have is to just watch it. Beware, there is brief nudity and gore :0

It is without a doubt that the horror movie genre is the most influential and iconic movie genres that has ever existed. It’s safe to say that scary movies has single handily influenced the music we listen to everyday, the ideas and myths we believe, and the clothing we wear. For example, Nicki Minaj’s verse on Kanye West’ Monster. “And I’ll say, bride of Chucky, it’s Child’s Play Just killed another career, it’s a mild day” or on Drake’s 6 Man. “I’m on it, I’m like MacGyver, I’m Michael Myers I kill careers and cut the lights off, this **** is frightenin’ I knew it would end up like this, I’m ******’ psychic”. These are just two examples of it played out in music. Horror movies have also made an appearance to mainstream clothing stores such as Urban Outfitters, Zumiez, and H&M. Horror movies also influence our beliefs and superstitions, for example Friday The 13th is a haunted day, or the fear of crossing a black cat which comes from the horror fiction The Black Cat. These are just small examples of horror movies in our everyday lives. I now challenge you to look for horror movie references in your every day lives but to do that you will need to watch a few. ” But wait Jarius, I’m scared of horror movies.” Well that’s okay there are many horror movies that actually aren’t scary. Although this may be kind of subjective, here is a list of movies I believe aren’t that scary and are actually watchable. Pet Sematary, Child’s Play, The Dentist, Chopping Mall, Final Destination, Leprechaun, ThanksKilling, and Get Out. These are just a few and like I said I know it’s subjective but I seriously believe that anyone can watch these without being too scared. ” But wait Jarius, I don’t have time to watch all of these movies.” Well luckily you can watch a kill count on these movies by Dead Meat. Dead Meat is a horror movie channel focused on summing up the amount of kills in a horror movie while providing a brief summary of the movie. He advises not to watch kill counts in replacement of watching the movies, but if you seriously are low on time a kill count will never do you wrong. In the meantime, comment below what’s your favorite horror movie and why?

On November 21st, the Canadian songwriter dropped two singles titled “Loyal” and “The News”. Earlier in the week PARTYNEXTDOOR made a post with the caption “Friday” hinting that something was coming. Many fans speculated an album was coming but instead were surprised with two singles. Since then, fans have reacted some grateful and some disappointed. The song Loyal featuring Drake takes on a tropical feel while The News is more of a traditional PARTYNEXTDOOR song that gives off modern dazed R&B vibes. Although fans still await an album date, PARTYNEXTDOOR has taken to his twitter to announce that an album is coming in January. Recently I have listened to both of these songs and personally I enjoy The News more. It fits my music taste more and I truly believe that Loyal is sort of experimental which ins’t a bad thing because we all love versatility but for some reason it just doesn’t hold my attention. Not saying it’s a bad song but it’s not necessarily my go to. Give the songs a listen and tell me how you feel about them and which is your favorite.

On November 11th, Tyler the Creator hosted his annual Camp Flog Gnaw. Many celebrities made guest appearances, those including A$AP ROCKY, and Lil Uzi Vert, and Drake. These appearances remained a secret to the audience until it was time to perform. Every year fans expect Frank Ocean to be one of the secret performers due to Tyler and Frank Ocean’s close relationship. When Tyler introduced A$AP ROCKY many fans automatically assumed that Frank Ocean would be next especially due to their history and friendship with each. Fans were in for a surprise when Drake came out to perform. A$AP ROCKY, and Lil Uzi Vert only performed 2-3 songs but Drake came out expected to do the same as previous performers, performed a total of 9 songs. Disappointed and out of patience, fans began to get aggravated with Drake and started chanting ” We want Frank”, they also began to boo him. It took no time for Drake to pick up on the crowd’s energy and soon Drake asked the crowd “I’m here for you tonight. If you want to keep going, I will keep going tonight. What’s up? If you want to keep going, I will keep going tonight.” It’s obvious that the crowd quickly screamed  “Nooooo!”. Drake responded by saying “Well, look. It’s been love. I love y’all. I go by the name of Drake. Thank you for having me.” and he then made his departure from the stage. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone was totally against Drake performing. It was mainly hardcore Frank Ocean fans that responded rudely to Drake’s appearance. Drake has since then responded to the hate by stating that he will continue to be at Camp Flog Gnaw. “Plot twist…just signed a 10 year residency at Camp Flog Gnaw sorry kids see you EVERY SINGLE YEAR till you are 30” . Tyler went on twitter to respond the disrespect from his stating that it was foul but he found humor in it. “BUT HEY MAN SHIT HAPPENS, ALL JOKES ASIDE **** LOWKEY FUNNY HAHAHA, ASIDE FROM THAT, HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME. AGAIN, NO ARREST NO ******** MAN A LOT OF PEOPLE ENJOYED IT, THANKS AGAIN!”. Frank Ocean has not responded to any of this yet but with his secret presence it is very likely he won’t respond.
