Frank Ocean’s Nightclub “Prep+” Sparks Criticisms

November 12, 2019

Frank Ocean’s irregularity when it comes to releasing content makes him a high demand artist. The two albums he released, Channel Orange and Blonde, have solidified their places as notable releases in the R&B music canon with both releases placing in the top 10 of Pitchfork’s “Best Albums of the 2010s.”  

Dropping off singles here and there to high praise positions him as one of the greatest, yet mysterious, artists of our generation. It’s safe to say that whenever Ocean releases something, everyone goes crazy and he can do no wrong. However, with the opening of his new night club series Prep+, it flaws Ocean’s character and reveals that, he too, makes mistakes.
