Frank Ocean On His Debut Album

Thursday, January 05 2012 10:26 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, R&B

Francis Ocean speaks to BBC News on Odd Future’s influence on his music, working with The Throne and Beyonce as well as what we can expect of his commercial debut coming in the spring.

“It succinctly defines me as an artist for where I am right now and that was the aim, just to make something that represents where you are at that time. It’s about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness—sonic goodies.”

Jay-Z Talks Politics As Usual On BBC

Wednesday, November 03 2010 1:16 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Jay-Z made more radio rounds while in the UK and during his interview with BBC’s Natalie Jamieson, he speculates that in 2018, maybe he’d run for U.S. President.

Give me a chance. Maybe in eight years, I’ll be the president. In order to judge someone, you have to judge what they inherit In order to get to that sort of success and that dream, you have to go through some peaks and valleys. He [Pres. Obama] inherited the worst economy, war, just a horrible time in American history. So if we think he can solve that, I mean, we don’t think he’s God, do we. He’s a human being. He’s going to need time to figure that out. But it may be a good thing. Maybe the Republicans will win one of those houses, so this way they’ll have to be responsible for whether a law gets passed, and they can’t put it on Obama. In order to get to that sort of success and that dream, you have to go through some peaks and valleys. It’s been two years.”

In another interview, he spoke with Evan Davies on Today about his entrepreneurial acumen and American politics. Damn, tea baggers.

Mo’ cookies. No apple juice.

“Roc Boys” wasn’t the only song Hov performed at Jo Whiley’s house for the BBC Radio 1. Here’s a stripped down take of “Encore,” the song produced by Mr. Carter’s pal, Kanye West. See it all comes together.


And yup, a lil “Thank You” at the end. Owww.
