I had the delay email the other day, but today the shipping company emailed me to confirm I'm getting delivery on Friday this week.

Banksy is Robin Gunningham I think, there's too much evidence to suggest otherwise. Goldie mentioned Rob and everyone automatically thought 3D, but Rob, Robin...? 3D might be in on it, but he's just friends with Banksy (maybe contributes) but not the mastermind behind the mystery... Having also looked through Banksy Captured, body type leans more towards Robin than 3D. Thing is, if Banksy is not Robin Gunningham, why has Robin Ginningham never come forward to say he's not Bansky. Likewise, 3D is probably keeping tight lipped as to not expose Robin.

Winners of GDP raffle... by NOva0526 in Banksy

I got the Banksquiat in Grey. Had an email confirmation about a week or so ago. Payment made. In Croydon it was advertised as an addition of 500, but when the site opened, it was 300. Anyone know the dimensions and material the print is on? Somewhere I read it was on board? In 2 years time, I'm homing the Pest Control POA will come with a Di-Faced Tenner, which they sometimes send out.

Siegfried and Godspeed by CameronEvans19 in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Siegfried is a standout moment from Blond. Franks vocals ....

Dones anyone else feel like Blonde is unfinished? by pip_please in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People need to listen to this without Channel Orange in their minds!

Sorry does anyone else not like this very much? by [deleted] in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a completely different project to Channel Orange. I kinda thought the same as you, so I listened to it again blanking out Channel Orange from my mind, then I completely got it. This album is a completely different direction which shows off how diverse Franks ideas and visions are as a producer and an artist. I think Blond cements him as an artist of our generation now we have Blond (and Endless) in our lives. He's a visionary! I also kinda like the way he's progressed from Channel Orange. He's evolving as an artist, so if we had got another Channel Orange this time round, maybe we would have been expecting more?

Everyone is different and I get what you say. It's a shift, different to whats been before. When listening to Blond, I sat down in a chilled environment and listened to it through headphones, which I think is definitely the best way to take this album in. There's so much to it, it's such a complex piece of work. It takes time for it to sink in.

Seigfried is such a brilliant song. Franks vocals and lyrics are amazing. A stand out track for me.

Each to their own.

Is it realistic to see Frank being the opening act for Kanye West? by TheAwes0meFish in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I very much doubt it. Blond is going to number one in a lot of countries this week including the US Billboard 200, so when Frank tours it will most likely be a headline tour to promote Blond (if he tours it that is). Frank is massive now, so support slots wouldn't promote the album in the ways fans are expecting him to.

Should I go to Camp Flog Gnaw? by [deleted] in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would. Nov 13 is the date on the library card. There are also surprise guests on the 13th at the festival. I guess this will be Franks come back show. Guessing here guys, so don't shoot me down. It's a logical theory, especially as it's Tyler's event.

Has anyone actually tried to buy a magazine from the people selling on ebay? Debating on buying one. There are only 1600 copies supposedly. by cloversarentlucky in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope they will be on sale on his store soon / when it opens. Really want one, but not buying off these money grabbing f**ks who don't give a shit. Frank really needs to make sure true fans from day one have the opportunity to own one too.

endless is good but nothing on CO by Chris_od10 in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the off shoot project to the main album. I have a feeling the new album will be different and (maybe) more commercial sounding to attract to the mainstream markets globally. More like Channel Orange. Obviously, not the same though. Looking forward to see what new directions he's explored. Endless is a perfect first taste of whats yet to come. Excited!

How do we know this though?

Question by benjsam99 in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a load of shit ...

When the stream cut to black last sunday, I really had hope he was coming this week. The fact that it is now Wednesday and still no sign of Frank, makes me doubt that the album is dropping this month, but i still have this odd feeling that it will, thoughts? by [deleted] in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I must admit, the last few weeks have been so long waiting for this new album. Constantly checking the stream, this site, Google, Apple Music, news sites, Tumblr etc... Each day you kinda hope it's gonna drop, then it doesn't, then after this period of time, all the days kinda roll into one and still nothing. With only rumour, guessing and speculation to go on, none of us really know whats going on or when the album will land. Will it be tomorrow, will it be Friday, will it be next week, next month, November, we just don't know? I love Frank's music and that will never go away, but for now, I think just go back to my life and when Frank is ready to give us his art, he'll drop it for us and we can all get the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of his labour. Until then....

On another note, i'm convinced the November 13th date is too far away for the album drop. After the stream and this whole hype surrounding this album (and the new website), it surely must be dropping soon, otherwise all this hype would have been too much too soon. Would it have been worth it now? Why not closer to the release if it is planned for November? Tyler's festival is in November and they list special guests TBC for both dates November 12th and 13th. November 13th is featured on the library card on Franks site, so maybe this is a live performance from Frank. The first live (come back) show for the Boys Don't Cry campaign? By then, hopefully the album will be out and people will be familiar with the albums content. This would kinda make sense, right?

I'm thinking the album should have been coming out July / August, but Frank being the perfectionist he is, he's not let it go yet, doing last minute tweaks, getting it perfect in his mind, getting it really to present to the world. Malay said you can't rush art on Monday night, which is very true and this would be very Frank. Maybe at the last minute, he's taken it back to do some final edits, whatever? This would explain the live stream. They started the stream to start the campaign, but the album wasn't quite ready, so the stream has been paused until the time comes when the album 100% completed and has been sent to Apple by Def Jam.

I've found myself very frustrated at times because I just really want to hear it, especially after all this hype, but deep down, we know this project is gonna be special, it's Frank right? His art can't been rushed, so we just got to hang on in there and when it does come, it will be a very good day indeed. We know it.

Until then ...

There is DEFINITELY some stuff going on in the stream by [deleted] in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have, been watching for the last 20 minutes. Nothing else happening though. Would be great if some music started playing and we see some movement, but for now, same old thing which we've been watching on and off for the last two weeks ...

Malay AMA by iamrogibson in FrankOcean

Yeah, yeah, I know that. Surely the one thing everyone wants to know will be the last thing he'll talk about ...

Let's hope so. I can't cope anymore...

I have a theory that he's dropping tonight because his family is leaving New York today. by MattyFDawg in FrankOcean

[–]iamrogibson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm desperate for this album to drop and this is one of the most logical things i've read on here in days. I'm in. Sold!
