Jermaine Dupri Saying: "Frank Ocean Will Save R&B Music!"

July 15, 2012GWL Staff


This past week has basically been all about Frank Ocean, and not just within R&B but within the entire industry. Frank Ocean continues to rack up one stamp-of-approval after another, he can now add Jermaine Dupri to his list of fans. 

The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind for the New Orleans singer who announced he's gay in a letter posted to his Tumblr page, then released his Channel Orange album to iTunes ahead of schedule. More details below......

Perhaps it was Ocean's courageous admission, or his phenomenal music, but either way, Dupri stands behind him, and hopes that the singer's success will save R&B music. 


In in a statement posted on his website, Dupri couldn't contain his excitement for all things Frank Ocean:
“When I saw the # that Frank Ocean is suppose to hit next week, I got extremely Happy, I said I need to get in my car and listen to this album,by the time I got to 'Sweet Life' I was even more happy,finally!! a RnB album that's hip, without having the same 5 rappers on every song,I actually hope he hits 200k, for the sake of RnB,it's in the worst position it's ever been since I started making music,The Record company's don't believe in it,Radio won't play it if it don't have a rapper, and a majority of the artist that are labeled RnB,are confused and lost, so I repeat,I hope Ocean sells more than the 125k that he's on pace for,maybe these executives u'llwake the f-ck up,or at least try to copy what he's doing,like they always do, by the way,the end of 'Pyramids' jammin like a muf-cka.”
While it remains to be seen whether or not he will (or should have to) save R&B music, one thing he will be doing is touring. Check out his tour dates and recent performance videos here.
