Real Talk Tuesdays: Frank Ocean

DateTuesday, February 19, 2013 at 8:48AM

Frank Ocean has had quite a year. I feel like his career is just getting started. On the Grammys last week he performed his tune "Forrest Gump" which I feel deserves some discussion. A sweet song, but distracting when you hear him repeating the name of a fictional character - especially one that most of us don't affiliate with a burning desire. Perhaps he could've picked Tristan Ludlow or Jake Tyler Brigance. Here's a Vimeo fan vid using footage from the film. It helps.
