Def Jam Can’t Compete With Apple

Frank Ocean is great, but his recent album release(s) are like a parody of the tech savvy millennial “changing the way we listen to and think about music”. It’s all just incoherent, indecisive nonsense: throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Think about it: it’s “blonde” but it’s spelled “blond”, Here’s the CD version — but it’s only 12 tracks instead of 17 and only stuck in a magazine at these temporary shop places. And oh, u can stream it but only on Apple Music for some arbitrary period of time. And yes, u can download the album, but not individual tracks. This is Kafka-esque B.S. not “revolutionary” paradigm shifting distribution.
