I will forever appreciate you for showing raw emotion. In 2015, I lost my best friend due to domestic violence, and I was in a very rough place. When "Blonde" came out, I don't think I ever cried more than I ever had. This album has helped me with coming to terms with what happened, and has helped me realize that my friend wouldn't want me to constantly grief about his passing, but rather, remember the amazing memories we had. We, as a society, need to stop this social stigma where men can't show emotion, and you, are helping towards breaking down that stigma. Thank you for reacting to this album, even if a lot of it didn't click with you, I will FOREVER appreciate you!!
Wow, thanks for leaving this comment. I appreciate where you’re coming from. You’re definitely right about the stigma that is around showing emotion. it was hard for me to post this video because I didn’t want to put everything out there but i’m glad I did because it seems to be bringing people together. All love bro I appreciate you aswell thanks again for the support❤️
Fax. Listened to it for the first time in 2018, first time didn't really feel it. Few months later it hit. Now it's one of if not my favorite album of all time
the fact the chat was saying this album trash and laughing at you crying is insane this is undeniably one of the greatest albums of our generation. just shows they're kids and haven't had many experiences. ive shed many a tear to this album even listening today
Something I will always stand by is that people that hate on frank ocean haven't had certain emotional experience almost required to appreciate his music. Even I didn't like him at first but after emotional maturing experiences he's my favorite of all time
"lets be honest. i would never cry to a frank ocean song. i am a man" all seriousness tho sorry for your loss man. i know thats gotta be hard to share and it takes a lot to upload something as emotional as that. W reaction chomp i rly appreciate how real you are w it no bs
Not just his chat, I've seen other music streamers' chats are like this, it's just a fact that there's people who only listen to one thing and clown other people for stepping outside their comfort zone
i really think the album holds a lot of meaning, just the way the music alone can make you feel is very important. Not only does it sound amazing. but the lyricism and the story’s being told are moving i think i lot of people tend to look past the lyrics in music and just stick to what’s considered ‘cool’ music.
I love this album fr, but I have SO much respect for u over other creators that you actually express whether you like a song or not rather than just faking and meatriding it. First listen other than a few songs i didnt really love Blonde, but after a few listens it's my favorite album ever. Great review
i think what makes blonde special fr is bc it gets better w every listen. i appreciate that you went back and listened to the album and it rly grows on you
I hate seeing things like this. The chat was hyping this up so much at the start and as soon as they saw Chomp wasn’t feeling it they went into hardcore hating. Have your own opinion, stop hiveminding it’s annoying as hell. I’m glad you did eventually come around to it after stream though.
The first time I listened to solo I was hanging with my homie in his car and he played that song, I just got off drugs and out of rehab I was having a couple beers and it kind of just felt like everything over the year had hit me, all the fights with family, all the lost friends, all the break ups, and all the people I hurt while doing drugs. At one point I did feel solo without realizing I had the biggest supporting cast around me, idk that song will always have a special place in my heart means a lot to me.

Blonde is an album that will grow anyway. The first listen of Blonde will never be the best one. I listened to it for the first time in the year it was release and I still put it on every month and tracks like White Ferrari still trigger the same emotions.
last year, frank was my #1 artist on spotify with 14,000 minutes listened. His music was there at the start of one of the greatest relationships i believe i'll ever have. And now his music is there as a reminder of what me and that person no longer have. Regardless. the music has brought me to tears nearly every time since our separation. Emotions are such a beautiful thing and this album does a wonderful job at portraying love and heartbreak. Blonde is for all of us.
Not sure why chat was making fun of your reaction to Godspeed. Being able to appreciate music on that level is something I wish I could achieve like that. Much love for real.
chat was very odd. appreciate this reaction man i thought i was the only one who thought blonde wasnt allat at first but godspeed + white ferarri became sum of my favorite songs oat 😂 cried as well lolll u a real one fr
Ay bro just started watching you and I just wanna say I appreciate you so much. So many other music react channels are either way too inexpressive or pause the music too much. You find a great balance in your reactions, along with just seeming passionate and interested in music. Keep it up
It was brave for you to open up and get vulnerable during this reaction. The magic of Blonde is not how emotionally potent the content matter is, but how everyone finds something special or moving within it. Everyone who experiences the album shares that, and I think that's really beautiful.
This album holds a special place in my soul. The whole thing grew on me with time but it reminds me a lot of the harder times in life and overcoming it all. Thank you for reacting to this bro and keep it up, Huge respect!
Something I will always stand by is that people that hate on frank ocean haven't had certain emotional experience almost required to appreciate his music. Even I didn't like him at first but after emotional maturing experiences he's my favorite of all time
“Blond” has a special ability to become better after the second or third time listening to it. Tbh, I understood the whole meaning and the beauty of the album after watching a lot of review videos where it was fully analysed and explained. So that’s why it’s okay to not enjoy the “Blond” at first listening, but if you give it some time, even the “boring” songs will blossom.
you might know already by now, sorry for the very late reply. the album is titled “Blonde” and stylized as “blond” for a very specific reason. we know that this album and “Channel Orange” (stylized as “channelORANGE”) is his expressions about life and sexuality. they were his first real public ‘coming out’ about his sexuality after being in Odd Future. he uses Blonde as the title and blond to stylize to showcase his duality between sexualities, since blond is the masculine name for blonde taken from French. this is not widely known, as Frank’s attraction to men was not widely known until “Channel Orange” and is still kind-of ‘masked’ from the use of the feminine version in the TITLE, and the masculine left to the cover.
There's something so likeable and relatable about this guy and how he does his reactions. Thanks for making the great content and not being afraid to be open about emotions
I’m glad u was so transparent with what u did and didn’t like cuz with an album with such a high status like blonde u could be pressured into js saying whatever to please people but ur underrated asf and I liked this reaction 💕
I woulda cut the stream after what chat was doing on Godspeed bro, ong that pissed me off. When he explained why he cried, all of chat was saying RIP fake ass immature dumbasses fr. You can really tell when someone ain't been through nothing with how they reacted to you being vulnerable.
the people in chat shaming u for crying to music and having genuine feelings are actual children. it takes a lot of courage to show emotions in general, even more so on stream in front of a lot of people. props to you man 🙏
first of all rest in peace to the person you lost bro, I hope you're okay, and great reaction. i would really like to see your reaction to Man on the Moon 3 by Kid Cudi sometime. I personally really like that album, and I also knew that blonde would grow on you it has some songs which aren't really good at the first listen.
i was confused for a sec but i realized it was a second channel, love you chomp stay strong and keep up the good work❤ also another album i think you would really love is piñata by freddie gibbs, imo one of the best rap albums of the 2010s and one of the best produced rap albums ever, perfect 10 for me
I lost my one friend almost 2.5 years ago to a car crash, when you explained why you were crying during Godspeed, it got me crying too, the first time I cried since Christmas eve, thank you bro. I needed that, I js texted his mom yesterday then thought about this album. Watched this same video 5 times js to relate to the part about you talking about Godspeed, I can relate to you man. Rip🕊️
Yo man dead ass I’m proud of you for, first of all talking about it, and second of all having the strength to post this after you both teared up, and cried. I’m proud of you bro and I’m sorry for your loss man. It gets better I promise, much love 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I remember this girl i messed with back in 2017 was telling me how much she loved this album and frank ocean in general. the first time i listened to it back then i really didn’t enjoy it. i was 18 first time hearing it, now i’m 25 and i realized she was right the whole time. one of my favorite albums and artists of all time.
godspeed moved me so much my great grandma she’s passing soon bc of her health and ik it’s coming and this song made me so emotional and i will never feel this again when i tell u i’ve never cried to a song this hurt bad but the way it shapes life it affects me because i know it’s coming and the tables ready and she can call this home and i won’t feel the same without her i’m genuinely crying
I love your videos man, massive respect to you for posting this even though it was hard. It's really beautiful to see the way that you opening up has brought people together. Prayers to you, your family and the special person that you lost ❤ PS you should give channel orange a listen sometime , it has more action then blonde and I personality like it better
Your chat is brain dead bro wth. I may just be old or something now that im 27 but this album changed the way i looked at music when it came out and still impacts me the same way
i was watching ur tyler album reactions and u calling him franklin i was like "oh hes a frank ocean fan :D" BUT U HAVENT LISTENED TO BLONDE?? im so glad u did, this shit really moves you
Aside from the bros hating on you for listening to the album, i really appreciate the fact that you didn’t act fake about the album and you actually showed raw emotion to it and thats the stuff i like seeing about people. Take care whenever you read this bro💚
This is one of those albums that hits so much harder on 2nd or 3rd listen I honestly felt the same on 1st listen I seriously struggled to get through it
Lots of love man. Godspeed really is a beautiful song. My partner and I of 8 years listened to it together while she was in the process of moving out and finding a new place. It's okay to let go without resentment. To remember the good. Crying is a good thing man. Much love from Michigan ❤
Everyone switchin' up from making fun of him crying to realizing why will always get me How can you hate on someone for making an emotional connection to a song
yo i love ur reactions bru. you always hear out albums rather than judging them early and on the spot and you always give your most raw and sincere opinion. w
the song nights when the beat drops that’s the exact time that the album is at its middle point, after the middle part it’s meant to represent his depressed part of his teenage years
Chomp, when you mentioned the part of losing someone you loved it touched me. You are the few streamers I watch regularly and I don’t feel alone after the part of losing someone. I felt alone until I watched your vid. Thank you for being honest. :)
this is franks album that was kinda experimental i feel.like the pitched voices, and the instrumental. like he was showing how to express himself more, but channel orange is just an album everyone can like. you can play the whole almbum no skips and everyone will enjoy it. every song is good and has an amazing vibe while telling a story.
