The Fuss About Frank



Frank Ocean is the shit.

This is a fact.

afriPOP!'s Phiona and her friends have even come up with a name to describe his fans: Frankenstans. There are plenty of things that I could tell you about the kid but google is better than me. The long and short of it is he has managed to capture the hearts of everyone from his crew's (you've heard of Odd Future by now) hardcore fans to the ordinary joe, or girl. We All Try, a song from his latest mixtape, Nostalgia Ultra, struck a chord with people from near and far. First up is our girl Nonkulululu With 3 Lu's who was moved to record a cover of We All Try on Slum Village's Dilla-produced Climax beat. On the orther hand, Young Money's Tyga was so moved by the We All Try instrumental that he jacked it and sampled Adele's voice to give us Reminded. What do you think of the two songs?

This is Nonkulululu With 3 Lu's:


This is Tyga and Adele:


And this, blaggers and blaggettes, is Frank Ocean's original We All Try:
