There was also a collaboration with Nas, “No Such Thing as White Jesus,” that was unfortunately lost to a technological mishap. Mr. Ocean expressed regret that album deadlines prevented him from recreating the song from scratch, and he broke into song to capture what was lost:
Whatever you do, young king, don’t wind up deadYoung queen, cross your legs,
Put a crown on your head and remove the chains
’Cause even diamond chains are for slaves,
Don’t set foot in no penitentiary
And don’t taste the poison
Don’t you bail on your familiesFull Story: NY Times
Frank Ocean spoke with the New York Times about his upcoming album, “Channel Orange,” and mentioned a song with Nas that was lost. Hopefully they can remake the song at some point. Frank Ocean’s mom reacts to his announcement below.
