Frank Ocean Calls Miguel’s Music “Sloppy”

Looks like we’ve got a full on war of words between Frank Ocean and Miguel. The Odd Future crooner clapped back after the Cali-born singer said his own music is better. Taking to his Tumblr page, Ocean posted some lyrics that don’t name names, but are pointed directly at his rival. “You could stay seated/I’m taking that Grammy. Your music is sloppy. N-ggas is heated/They keep on repeating the evening in slow mo,” Ocean wrote, nodding to Miguel’s non-acknowledgment of Channel Orange’s 2013 Grammy win over Kaleidoscope Dream. Bars! Let’s see if these make it onto Ocean’s anticipated new album.
