After the success of 2012's "Channel Orange", Frank Ocean sky-rocketed as one the most talented acts in the entire music scene. The anticipation for a new album has been stressing fans out for years. Fans finally got their wish as Ocean dropped "Endless", a visual album followed by "Blond" (or "Blonde"), an album exclusively on Apple Music. The rush of new Frank Ocean might become the highlight of the year.

Over the years following "Channel Orange", Ocean teased the idea of a new album dropping. Rumors flew around online as fans expected a new album as early as 2014. But then 2014 came and gone, as did 2015. Everyone wondered where was the new Ocean album. In between that time, people were greeted with new J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Modest Mouse, Mumford & Sons, Kanye West, Beyoncé, The Lumineers, Dr. Dre, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Drake, Future, Rihanna, Logic, Chance the Rapper, and G-Eazy. Basically, everyone has been releasing new music and there still has been no sign of life from Frank Ocean.


The resurgence of Frank Ocean has delighted critics and fans so far but an exclusive deal with Apple Music might have upset competition in the industry. The release of back-to-back albums has been well-worth the wait. Hopefully, the new Ocean tracks can hold fans off for a while until his next release (if it took four years for this, let's hope it won't take eight years for the next album). At least we can end the debate over which would come first: a new Frank Ocean album or a James Cameron "Avatar" sequel. Mr. Ocean won that one, your move, Mr. Cameron.

What are your thoughts on Frank Ocean's latest material? Yay or nay? Was it worth the four-year wait?

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
