Rap-Up.com || Frank Ocean Shares Lessons from Kanye and Jay-Z, Hobbies, & ‘Timeless’ Style

Frank Ocean suited up for his photo shoot with GQ at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. The well-dressed singer-songwriter, who was named “Rookie of the Year” by the magazine, shared what he learned from Kanye West (“You should always choose your sneakers wisely”), his love for Adele’s album 21, his happiness for fellow Odd Future member Tyler, the Creator, Jay-Z’s studio advice (“Less takes is sometimes more”), his hobbies (kung fu and tai chi), personal style (“They’d say I’m bland and boring, but some people call that timeless”), and his love for the color orange. Get to know Frank a little better.
