1:05 - Frank Ocean coming out despite the fact that it might piss off Def Jam a week before the release of his debut album and spur homophobic ostracization from both the hip hop community and idiotic blog commenters worldwide was a very brave thing to do.

I'm sure def jam was 100% behind his coming out. No one hard listens to frank ocean; it'll only help sales.
