Could Frank Ocean Be Bringing R&B back. Well, music producer Jermaine Dupri thinks so. As we know, R&B music has fallen so of course R&B in recent years leaving artists to collaborate with hip hop artists at every chance just to make the billboard charts. The choices of music has been very limited these days and it’s all about selling sex, ssinging about sex, and or resort to pop-style album.
Frank Ocean,created a huge buzz recently after he revealed his sexual orientation to the world while debuting his ne album “haneel Organe. Frank, who’s been hailed as the “future of R&B” has said repeatedly that he beleives “Music should speak for itself'” regardless of one’s personal dispostion or sexual orientation and while some people think that his “Coming out” would hurt his record sales other celebs have supported Ocean and feel that it could have a greater impact instead.
As for Jermaine Dupri- Well, he feels thats Frank Ocean could save R&B. Here’s what he had to say :
“When I saw the # that Frank Ocean is suppose to hit next week, I got extremely Happy,I said I need to get in my car and and listen to this album,by the time I got to “Sweet Life” I was even more happy,finally!! a RnB album that’s hip,with out having the same 5 rappers on every song,I actually hope he hits 200k,for the sake of RnB,it’s in the worst position it’s ever been since I started making music,The Record company’s don’t believe in it,Radio won’t play it if it don’t have a rapper,and a majority of the artist that are labeled RnB,are confused and lost,so I repeat,I hope Ocean sells more than the 125k that he’s on pace for,maybe these executives u’llwake the fuck up,or at least try to copy what he’s doing,like they always do, by the way,the end of “Pyramids” jammin like a mufucka.”
Sidebar: Music Exec’s finally got their wish Huh? Hopefully Frank Ocean can save R&B cause “soulful music” is surely missing out here.
