This is chatter we started over the weekend with my original essay.
Cypher Avenue indirectly prompted this rare acknowledgment of an accolade from a Gay publication. Frank Ocean’s blog-dap came OVER TWO WEEKS after Out.com named him to that list but then only one short weekend after my much passed around essay, he tosses a photo up on his blog to appease us lowly homos. This lil website is coming up. Technically FO is in our demo: A discreet masculine loner dude that spends too much time on the Internet and doesn’t fit into the “Gay Lifestyle.”
Its a baby step in the right direction, its the first time he’s lumped himself with other Out gays, with a transsexual on top of that. Really, doe. One such as myself could argue this is not going as far as saying “LGBT Respect” or “Family” along with the photo, but at least he’s embracing instead of distancing. Really doe x2.
In honor of this occasion, I will be retiring the words Frank and Ocean from Cypher Avenue. The Ocean jersey is being lifted into the rafters. This will be my series finale FO post, if you will. There’s this little bird flying around the Internet on message boards and Disqus comments saying that Nick Delmacy has some vendetta for this lil dude and that I bash him every chance I get. Nah, breh. If you wanna see me bash, check out my Web Series Reviews. That’s where I bring that ether, right there.
Excuse me for trying to provoke the usage of brain synapses, homies. I will fall back. I don’t wanna come off as a hater just because people don’t like their “saviors” spoken ill of so that means Jesus, Obama and Frank Ocean will get a DC pass from me for now on. I’m done…(even though I was right!!!)
Swerve, breh.

Kudos Nick. So you feel you were he impetus for the F.O. acknowledgement? I don’t think you were right in your post about him. I think you wanted him to do MORE and to say MORE. but you were NOT RIGHT. You do have a way with words, but you also had it in for F.O. I like Frank Ocean, but I think you are secretly IN LOVE with him. Either that or OBSESSED. LOL I am so glad this will be the last disparaging post concerning him. You’ve had your say and you’ve gotten the response you sought. What a powerful man you are. The Artist spoke directly to you! You a BAD dude Nick. Does this mean, now that F.O. has shown you some love, that you will LOVE him back?
LOL..its obvious that you’re way more in love with Frank Ocean than me…
What I did not fully comprehend was (yet, I actually did) your insistence that FRANKY O. FURTHER acknowledge his GAYNESS to appease your yearning for him to take a more visible stance involving himself in GAY RIGHTS ISSUES and POLITICS. NICK, do you take the SAME approach with other high profile CELEBRITIES vis-a-vis KOBE BRYANT, MICHAEL JORDAN, and innumerable other BLACK celebrities to SPEAK OUT on issues PERTINENT to life in BLACK America (You, I, and them being BLACK and ALL)? If more BLACK celebrities were to lend their voices to BLACK causes to address POLICE BRUTALITY, DWB, and other RENOWNED ills and disparities inside of BLACK America then things would definitely CHANGE! Let’s SEE how NICK’S persistence, fortitude and “VERISIMILITUDE” prompts them and others into action with the BLACK community beckoning them to use their powerful VOICES BLACK ISSUES? Don’t just single out FRANKY O. Do your “magic” NICK.
I’m waiting on you NICK. I GOT your BACK… pun def intended… LOL
Wow that pic is surprising. I guess we will see more and more of Frank Ocean acknowledging himself and his sexuality more over time. Trust that it will be VERY SUBTLE like the pic above. What do you guys think?
I can’t wait for that 2nd album though! He’s a great songwriter!
Don’t think I didn’t notice you said great songwriter and not great singer, lol
LOL Nick D you are too funny! As for Frank’s singing, he is a crooner more than anything. Not much tone, range or vocal ability but he can hold some notes.
Where are the other notable Black Gheys in that photo?
1.) Kanye West
2.) Tyler Perry
3.) Ghey Songz
4.) Miguel
5.) Queen Latifah
*snickering*
But um yeah, I think Discreet City played a HUGE role in what we’re seeing from Franky O.
Great job Nick!
LOL You’re wrong for those names on that list. Yeah Frank may not have seen the essay but it definitely got people talking and finally pushed some recognition action from him.
Black Pegasus, you are just straight up wrong on so many levels for posting this “list.” You are beginning to remind me of a stereotype. Just ain’t happy unless you gotta shovel digging up some “crap” on somebody. Why do GAY people want everybody else to be GAY cause they say so. That GAY RUMOR MILL never sleeps.
“BLACK PEGASUS’ “MEDIA TAKEOUT EXTRA” lol..
“BLACK PEGA-MEGAGOSSIP COLUMN” lol…
“BLACK PEE GIVING YOU THE ‘TEA’ ON THE CELEBRITY”
You should fit right in. We need a GAY GOSSIP RAG.. GIVING US THE DIRTY DOWN LOW, ON THE LOW DOWN DIRTY SHAME.. .LOL LOL. LOL…
COSHAMO LOL
I was only asking what 80 percent of the people will ask after seeing that photo. What kind of homo would I be if I didn’t ask the pertinent questions..? lol
And RuPaul? really bruh!
Nick, your “frustration” with Frank Ocean is acknowledged, but I think we all forget that the music business is a business and this is this man’s way of life. Although he choose to divulge information about his sexual identity to the public, I think he had to maintain a love profile about being gay or bisexual to sell and be marketable in the music business. I understand you a more prevalent black masculine gay male in media, but if he continue to scream to the world via media outlets that he likes penis instead of vagina in his mouth then personally I feel he would receive withdrawal from the music industry which is how he makes his living. Personal Nick, when it comes to Frank Ocean I feel you put a double standard on him; you want him to bare the rainbow flag screaming “I’M GAY and PROUD,” but also, if I am not mistaken, you believe that we shouldn’t not be defined by our sexuality and your attitude towards Mr. Ocean is defined by the lack of his acknowledgement of his sexuality.
