Around 2 a.m. this morning, Frank Ocean quietly dropped the music video for "Nikes," which is very likely a track from the formerly known as Boys Don't Cry. Twitter is working over time to parse the video (read: Do Kanye West's teeth make a cameo?) and to take in all its glitter, fire, devilry, nudity, and generally awe-inspiring visuals. Here's what people have to say so far:
Man Frank Ocean "Nikes" video is so dope that I have no idea what I just watched but I'm about to watch it again
