Ya'll need to hop off Frank nuts he is a brilliant song writer "basic" noo basic is a nigga that songs alludes to flashy club music where every other line is rhyming "poppin bottles " and "models" talkin about how much materialistic shit you have (looks at Trey songz,Chris brown, 50 cent,Timberland Waka flocka" Frank Ocean on the other hand tales vibrant stories of the night life and life in general that many people can relate to. As well as make you think and remember why you feel in love with music in the first place! Hell, who else can cover a classic ' Hotel California" and make it sound like an modern rnb /alternative love song with prince influences that gives commentary and insight on polygamy and arranged marriage at the same time ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRPmJ6eSUH0
