The point is that she is missing no, she was stolen. Let us examine the beauty of this song as well as my interpretation. Some of the historical references don’t match, but the story is amazing nonetheless.

The jury (my brain) is still trying to figure out if Frank Ocean actually comprehends what he created with this song. I will admit that I was blown away by subtle references that would only be understood by those who know their history and their biblical teachings. While “BGL” will always be a classic, “Pyramids” is far superior in content, delivery, imagery and production. Both songs allow us to hear the artist’s view of the modern day Black woman with feelings of sorrow and disgust. “Pyramids” is the modern day re-creation of Nas’ “Black Girl Lost”.

He is a great artist, story teller and poet. After listening to Frank Ocean’s “Pyramids”, I realized that he is more than just a good musician. As defenders of discourse, soldiers of self expression and fighters for free speech, the LSP understand the importance of releasing material that has a lasting impact. Let it be forever known and forever remembered that Frank Ocean’s “Pyramids” is a vital contribution to music, society, philosophy and our culture.Īs one of the founding members of the Left Side Poets, I humbly request that my fellow brothers and sisters embrace Frank Ocean after careful consideration of his latest song.
