With a successful mixtape and a sold out international tour, Frank Ocean has been selected as GQ’s Rookie of the Year. The 24-year-old filmed a mini-interview with GQ’s Amos Barshad and talked everything from his hobbies, to why the color orange is favorite color, to what he has learned musically and non-musically from Kanye West and Jay-Z:
“The one non-musical thing that I learned from working with Kanye is that you should always choose your sneakers wisely.” [...] “Musical thing that I learned from Jay-Z, ‘Less takes is sometimes more.’”
See what else the singer-songwriter had to say after the jump!

I simply love his persona and music! Can’t wait to see him live tonight!
Agree. He’s a talented dude. I hate that he is mixed up in that gay clique of Kanye & Jay-Z. Watch out dude, unless that’s your thing…
FRANKKKKK, my man…gettin’ recognized left and right! Loved you since the Lonny Breaux days…ily
Love Frank Ocean! I Tried to get tickets for his sold out gig here in London, I found 2 tickets for £300!! Now, I love Frank, but I need to eat!! Next time i’m getting in there early! Go Frank!
A really talented dude… I’m scared to death of him losing that hunger though. Money makes some artists lazy… Don’t be one of them Frank. Remember to make GOOD music…
So happy for him.. and I love that he mentioned Tyler. He’s so likable.

His head looks so mature for his little body
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. He head looks big as hell on that little body.
Dude looks like Kanye in the first pic. I dig his simple, honest vocals. Will definitely check out his LP
loooooooove him!
Still creeps me out, i would listen to his music, but his affiliation with tyler and what he’s “about” leaves me unable to, i can’t get down with someone who is “happy” with an album where the “rapper” is talking about raping a pregneant women, and then has 3 6′s plastered all over thier twitter, just can’t do it
I AGREE!!!! I don’t support that ministry.
I am so old school.. I haven’t heard a track from him yet.. The closest I’ve come to hearing him, is his feature on Watch the Throne.
I’ve never heard his music but I can say that the pic of him in that tux is fire. His expression is blase and come get me all at once. Like, “Come over here, girl, right damn now.” I’m not one for young dudes but he could probably get it one time. Right.
