I supported Frank Ocean and he has good songs but dude is weird and he is fake. He has a song called “Pyramids” that speak on his believing Black women has strayed from being the queen that Cleopatra was,which is odd to say the least coming from a dude that sleeps with men because that certainly is straying from King Tut…..
I have this friend who is gay and he told me “Miss Francis is a stunt queen pulling stunts to sell his album” and damn if he wasn’t right. I will never support Frank again because i just don’t like how that queen tried to set Chris up while also trying to sell his cd.The dude is money hungry and just plain weird.I recall a couple of months ago he wrote on his twitter “my d_ck grew”,I was like this guy is strange and he plays on his gayness when it’s convenient.
Frank is jealous as hell of Chris Breezy for various reasons. He’s also mad as hell because he thought the “kids” that support other big name female artists would come give their money to him because he’s gay but they aren’t dumb and they know he is just trying to use gays.
He first became upset when Breezy took a photo in 2009 with Frank’s cover girlfriend Allycia Bellamy / Omarion and Teyana Taylor. Next thing you know he and Tyler the Creator start a twitter fight and now this nonsense that he started last week and then ran to twitter like the bytch he is “snitching” like he was such the victim,the dude is a phoney!

For you to say Chris will never be at the Grammy’s, but sorry hun Chris was at the Grammy’s last year, he may not have performed but he won for best R&B album of the year
He performed at the Grammy’s before as well. He’ll probably be there on Feb 10th as well. Stop trying to throw shade as if your life is perfect!

Sam, I have great news for You and Beyonce, based on airplay ALONE……Looooove song by Rihanan and future is gonna debut in Hot 100 BB in the top 90. HA HA HA HA HA HA. Rih has Diamonds, Stay, Piu, Love song. What king was easy slayage is this? All the songs on her LP are gonna go number 1.
Rih has trended twice o twitter today. In fact, ‘ rihanna is the only number 1 ‘ is trending as we speak. Funny, as beyonce is the one is meant to be doing the SB this week, but, outside the blogs, no one gives a fuck about her. Stay is now number 5 on Kiss FM airplay chart.
Navy FAM, we have 4 juice songs on USA iTunes: Stay, diamonds, Pour it up and love song, let us keep buying and block beyonce comeback. Also, ‘ Rihanna is teh only number 1 ‘ is trending WW. Re tweet it so it ca trend during the Superbowl.

I´m sure this person is not even a Gaga fan. Maybe the opposite. To make Gaga look bad? There´s no other possible explanation
TGJ is full of hate lately with all these superficial kids around though. I blame Sam for wanting hits no matter what, he wanted these kids on his blog to make money and now all is about hating and insulting. Funny thing is most of them satn for Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, etc

Sam have you ever thought about modding comments in these posts? I know it’s your site and you might not mind the extra hits, but it would be nice to read non-trolling comments that are about the actual subject of the post instead of a bunch of spam about other artists.

I am not going to lie, he failed to live up to the hype for me. I was excited about a new face in music, but his performance at the vmas didn’t do it for me. Then the album not salea not living up to the hype either, that is why artist should just let the music speak for it self when they are about to prompt it and not all the extra stuff, I am hoping miguel beats him out.

HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN… FRANK OCEAN IS A STUNT QUEEN!! PICK A FIGHT WITH CHRIS BROWN THEN ALL THE SUDDEN YOU WANNA DROP A NEW SINGLE FROM AN ALBUM THAT WAS RELEASED 7 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THIS MANS ARTISTRY BECAUSE ITS NOT REAL. YOU PUSHED AN ALBUM UP A WHOLE AFTER ANNOUNCING YOU WERE GAY. YOUR SINGLES HAVE BARELY IF NOT AT ALL CHARTED.. WHAT IS SO EPIC ABOUT FRANK OCEAN??? AND LETS TALK ABOUT CHRIS BROWN. THE MAN THAT EVERYONE LOVES TO HATE…. FIRST OFF, CHRIS BROWN IS STILL SELLIN RECORDS. FAME IS APPROACHING PLATINUM STATUS WHILE “FORTUNE” IS APPROACHING GOLD. AND IM AN HONEST CHRIS BROWN FAN.. “FORTUNE” WASNT NEARLY HIS BEST WORK YET HE STILL MANAGED TO GET TWO PLATINUM SINGLES WITH “DONT WAKE ME UP” AND “TURN UP THE MUSIC AS WELL AS A SOLD OUT TOUR IN THE UK WITH HIS “CARPE DIEM” TOUR AND THE REIGN ISNT OVER. CHRIS HAS SOME PERSONAL THINGS TO WORK ON BUT ITS NOT OVER FOR HIM. AND FOR EVERYONE CLAIMING THAT FRANK OCEAN IS SO EPIC… CALL ME WHEN HES PLATINUM OR WHEN HES PUSHING NUMBERS LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT OR ADELE. PLEASE ADDRESS ALL CONCERNS TO @THEREGOTERRY THANKS!

I really liked his mixtape. Channel Orange is good – not everything it is hyped up to be. He is way overrated – I’m sorry he is boring live and clearly is using publicity stunts like coming out (gay/bi/or not… he used that to get album sales) and now this chris brown fiasco… it’s sad that he is getting so much attention in R&B when there are much more talented people in that genre who have released better material who are getting overlooked – Melanie Fiona, Brandy, Monica just to name a few. I’m over him even though we already know he is going to win big that night.
