Reddit user JJ from Apple spearheaded what might be the most amusing story you’ll read about Frank Ocean’s phantom project: a fan-made SoundCloud album called Boys Do Cry. Its very existence is a testament to the internet’s relentless search for comedic opportunity.

The 32-track compilation tends to stick to entertainment but occasionally slips into the distasteful. Playful diss tracks rest beside songs with violent lyrics, regrettable even if written in jest. The hilariously poor recordings over industry beat remixes (“Champions,” “Say You Will”) compensate for the nonsense. Timely Ocean parodies stand as album highlights.

Take the piano cover of “Pink Matter,” for instance: “What do you think my brain was made for? Is it… just to watch a live stream? Of a maaan who cuts wood.”

One vocalist spins “big if true,” a recurring phrase on the singer-songwriter’s subreddit forum, into an ode to disappointment.

“channel ORANGE is now channel BLUE… I thought all this pain was in the past.”

Hope is diminishing indeed.

“I’ll listen to you—when your album come out… in 2042,” one Trevor Young raps. “I’m out… Nah but foreal Frank, release the album we’re dying out here… like watching white noise for 24 hours a day, it’s not good for our health.”

Complete with a dozen shout-outs to the slain guerrilla Harambe (including a remake of “Forrest Gump” with astonishing falsetto) and one too many “dicks out” references, Boys Do Cry reflects the good, bad, and ugly of one of music’s most faithful fanbases. Listen to the project below for a good laugh this morning, and head over to /r/FrankOcean while you’re at it.
