Totally, I wish I could have felt half as talented when I was their age. I know they get some flack for being "immature" or whatever, but there's FAR more extreme examples of that in the hip-hop community. Even then, I have trouble condemning or castigating, for instance, ICP, because they do mean something to someone, it's not as if all hiphop to be "real" has to be superlatively poetic application of "Myth of Sisyphus" in the backdrop of urban decay.

Ditto on Frank Ocean, his early stuff was just awful, but he definitely got with the right people for Channel Orange and fucking slayed.

And of course he is just fucking beautiful.
