Frank Ocean mysteriously posted a vague message leading some folks to believe he may be quitting music. Find out what he said inside and get the details on Sway?s interview with President Obama about music and its impact on politics. Frank Ocean posted a very vague message on his Tumblr saying, This post has led some to believe he may be leaving music?..or seeking attention. Earlier, he said that quitting is the new black?so maybe he is following a trend. It?s likely just another rant (maybe someone upset him) as he has also posted about how much fun he is having recording in Hawaii this week. Sigh?.. In politics??. Get More: Music News President Obama chatted with MTV?s Sway for a talk about politics and music. President Obama talks about Bob Marley raising his political awareness saying, ?I remember in college listening, and not agreeing with his whole philosophy necessarily, but raising my awareness of how people outside of our country were thinking about the struggle for jobs and dignity and freedom.? He added, We haven?t seen as much directly political music. You know, I think the most vibrant musical art form right now over the last 10, 15 years has been hip-hop. Some folks have kind of dabbled in political statements, but a lot of it has been more cultural than political. You?ve got folks like Springsteen who are still putting out very strong political statements, but I?d like to see a more explicit discussion of the issues that are out there right now, because music?s such a powerful mechanism.? BONUS: President Obama already cast his vote?..have you thought about early voting?
