Yeah, I get that.  But it's a bit like trying to read a ton of Bret Easton Ellis (to whom Frank Ocean seems to get compared alot) in one sitting.  After awhile, the preoccupation with what's wrong with rich kids gets dull.

I kinda fell in love with ASAP's sound and videos right away, but man, his latest antics don't bode well.  A wretched, ill conceived video with Lana Del Ray; taking 15 minute breaks in the middle of live shows to sit on his ass and smoke a blunt; throwing Sean Penn-style tantrums and taking swings at anyone within…
