Frank Ocean Post BLONDE Interview: Talks Grammys, Label Split, & Struggle

Probably the best album of 2016 but boycotts the Grammys. I like it. There's a lot going on with Frank Ocean right now, hear what he has to say. 

LOS ANGELES — “Porsche or Tesla?”

The valet asks the question hastily, humbly, eyes not quite meeting those of the contemplative man standing before him. Frank Ocean has been staying at this secluded hotel here for a while now, long enough that when the valet spies him coming down the front path, he knows the routine.

On this night, it’s the Tesla, the Model X S.U.V. with the gull-wing rear doors. Inside, the dash looks like the helm of a spaceship, with a center console map display bigger than an iPad that, once on the road, Mr. Ocean never consults.

It’s been more than a year since he’s had a steady home — most of his beloved cars are in storage. He moves from city to city, hotel to hotel. In a couple of days, he’ll be in New York, looking for an apartment. A day after that, he’ll turn 29.
