Frank Ocean - Wiseman


Listen Later

Frank Ocean's "Wiseman" is a haunting track that slipped under the radar for many, but it's a gem worth discovering. Originally written for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, the song never made the film, but it still captures the emotional weight of a story like that—mixing themes of morality, life, and legacy. With raw guitar notes and reflective lyrics like "Wiseman closes mouth, madman closes fist," Frank explores the complexity of human nature. It's a deeply introspective piece, blending personal reflection with universal questions, and even Drake recognized its brilliance, sampling it in his recent track "Virginia Beach."
