BornoftheRose 👏👏👏
BornoftheRose bruh thanks u saved us a whole 6 mins of our life span
Lmao true “Without the beat it wouldn’t of been possible” 😂😂
💀 hahahahaha
no shit sherlock-
Pyramids is definitely my favorite. It feels like you’re in complete chaos navigating a crowd at a party and then like diving into a deep end of a pool looking up at the chaos - spacey af I love it
"Every night fks every day up.
Every day patches the night up."
I know you felt that 👀
Hell yeah
on a whole new level
Yesss
Fr lol
Someone here that love Tyler's Gone / Thank you transition ?
PABLO ALVAREZ oh you have noooo idea
blows my mind everytime
PABLO ALVAREZ I be having that part on loop
PABLO ALVAREZ yessss
And cherry Bomb
Nights is definitely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard
PYRAMIDS has the best beat switch. Period.
on GODDDDD
Was just gonna say this
"Pimpin in my convossss"🎶🎵👨🏿🎤
LynnaeSabali Bubbles in my champagne let it be some jazz playinnnn
FR like how tf did he connect ancient egypt to a stripper so perfectly
The beat switch in Kendrick's "u" does the same thing too lowkey. It goes from a conflicted relationship with himself with a scary descent into madness which becomes a slow, sad, drunken state of self hate
Yeah, that's one, But in DAMN. we have the transitions on DNA and, oh my god do u have ver listenning to XXX?, it's fucking awesome the 2 transitions fully get into the song
@@luislopezlabrada7422 I agree with XXX, but even tho DNA was cool af, it wasn't as emotionally impactful imo. It was dope since he switched the beat and flow but the message was essentially the same. My favorite beat switch(es) on DAMN was DUCKWORTH. The progression of the story alongside that 9th Wonder beat went too crazy.
@@erboch7124 you're god DAMN. right
the beat switch in U always hits me like I'm hearing it for the first time, even though it's probably like the 852nd
bro we all know the beat switch on maad city is the best
I'm honestly just starting to realize what a masterpiece Blonde is
head to toe
@@dreamsandlovers a slow learner, but no worries, I've come to my senses
“the day frank ocean clicks for you is the best day of your life” - anonymous
*Blond
@@Kinghenhog39 it's both.
The last part of “self control” ALWAYS makes me cry.... but we all knew frank was a wizard, no need to make it complicated.
Siegfried....
Don't forget White Ferrari
THIS !!!
@@agaleas76 amazing
*white ferrari for me*
The Weeknd’s trilogy is FULL of beat switches.
The beat switch in hob/gtg >>
godly album
Godly beat switches in KissLand too
facts big facts
I WAS NEVER THERE
my fave part is the beat switch in "nights" it ALWAYS hits differently
If you start listening to “Nights” by Frank Ocean on December 31st at 11:56:30, the transition will be perfectly synced with the switch from 2019 to 2020 at midnight.
Note: this is not my comment, I saw it on another video and just wanted to share it :)
Is there a way to go back?
Oh so that is the reason
VORteX 😭
this did not age well
Vivan Banerjee aged like milk 🙂
I really had to pause the video cuz I physically needed to listen to nights.
Same.
kendrick DNA beat switch with the countdown makes me wanna break my hand against a wall
Finally someone who mentions DNA I've been searching for this comment too long
posthumous forgiveness by tame impala, has one of my favorite best switches
😍
WHY FRANK OCEANS NIGHTS IS A MASTERPIECE
simply: frank´s from another world
“Know them boys wanna see me broke down and shit, Bummed out and shit, stressed out and shit thats every day shit” hits me every time and motivates me to work hard because there are really people out there who want so bad for you to fail🧡.
Tyler's 911/Mr. Lonely has an amazing beat switch ❤️
"I can't even lie, I been lonely asf"🖤
If you really relax while listening to a song your nerves would trip df out, you would always feel like your levitatating and your would vibrate.
Blond is my favorite album ever, such a masterpiece.
Pink and white gives me goosebumps. I don't even really listen to frank ocean but that song was my most played song of 2019 after discovering it early this year
I don’t care what anyone says. THE BEAT TRANSITION AT 3:28 OF “NIGHTS” HAS ONE OF THE BEST TRANSITIONS OF ALL TIME!!!
The best switch is on a different level with headphones on
I've listened to this so many times and it never stops giving me goosebumps
My absolute favorite beat switch is on "House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls" by The Weeknd. It's like one amazing song becomes a totally new, equally amazing song, bound together by the nihilistic party narrative through-line of the whole album. It has a really clever, concise "bridge" between the two beats just like "Nights."
Solo, Nights and nikes have been my main songs the past year and It still hits me.
It just hits different.
All the beat switches that the internet do are my favs 😍
The beat switch in DNA. still gives me goosebumps.
The best switches in nights like 3 times it’s amazing and they all transition so effortlessly
Still one of my favorite songs by him listen to it everyday
Nights was my favor song on that project, still got it in my play list
Listening to Frank literally makes me feel high. It’s kinda crazy. Now I gotta go play him 😭
When I first heard the beat switch, I literally started crying 😩😍 it felt so good to my ears. Happy to know I’m not alone
So thankful for him
One of my favourite songs ever ever ever
Can’t believe there is a whole video dissecting my favorite part of my favorite song of this album 😍
Self Care and Nights are my two fav tracks of all time
Frank is a genius. A musical and lyrical genius. I am ALWAYS here for any story he is willing to tell.
Nights is really a good example. That switch never fails to give me goosebumps. Those first new chords are always on point.
He really captured the Nights beat switch perfectly. Like the sound is like water circling the drain until it disappears and then the next beat comes. The sound itself of the actually switch is incredible, almost sounds like a portal opening. For some reason it’s one of my favorite noises.
It just makes me want to cry
my favorite song
I love the slow down when it's like "All my nights, been ready for you all my night, been waiting on you all my night"
there has not been one time ONE TIME where I've listenned to the beat switch on Frank Ocean's Nights' song without getting goosebumps. absolutely amazing.
When the beat drops everything after that is my favorite part
The pitch shift at the end of slide on me (endless album) is just another example of how amazing Frank is at transitions
Frank is so GOOD. Such a Legend.
The switch on Fake Names by Freddie Gibbs & Madlib is flawless
oh goddamnit, the beat switch is one of the best ive ever heard.
😍😍 amazing.
Damn this video made me cry bc I started listening to Frank in 2017 and brings me so much memories 😭😭
i like 'been ready for you all my night' that part hit different
Still one of my favorite songs of the decade 😳
90210 is an unparalleled beat switch. So beautiful
3 years later and we're still finding new things in this album. A true masterpiece
bro the audio on this video gives me goosebumps
Listen to this song once a week maybe more 🖤
The study of this is amazing. This just keeps adding proof that there is nothing like Genius & never will be.
This is a beautiful video! As soon as I saw Frank Ocean in the title I knew it would be good.
I listened to this while walking with my friends on a cold November night where I literally had goosebumps, so I think that’s why.
Everything he says gives me goosebumps
I was blessed to see him in nyc
It gets me every damn time. It's been a special song to me since the first time i've heard it.
The beat change in “I Was Never There” by The Weeknd...
I cri
Was pumping this song with the homies on the New Years night and beat switched at 12:00 am New Years 🔥🔥
Fun fact: playboi carti was there when he recorded nights
fr?
@@seventeen-mx5td yeah he said it On a genius interview
Mugen pfp and carti fan man of culture
I’m so obsessed with him
Forever my fav 🥺💓
Reading the title gave me goosebumps
DNA was the first beat switch that just sent goosebumps down my spine. Same could be said for Kings Dead as well by Kdot imo.
*goes and listens to nights right after this*
gawd dayum that beat switch in nights will never get old
I felt something like this with the outro of Lorde’s “The Louvre”, it’s the sweetest/softest part of the song and it’s so unexpected
The only artist I can listen to every single day
This is my favorite song by him
That beat switch does it every time
tbh the first half of the song is what gives me the goosebumps
blonde is so nostalgic to me. yes, i made a lot of memories in 2016. blonde was my most played during 2016. no other album will make me feel the same emotion and get the same vibe and feel that i get from blonde.
the switch on white ferrari will never be beaten in my mind. 2nd half of that song is the most beautiful piece of music i know
Damn how you know I been waiting on this video 😭
90210 switch gets me with that Miami Vice 80s palm trees feel every time

entire album is amazing
Brian Wilson.....Good Vibrations. It's full of them.
there will be tears is one of the best songs of all time
Excellent analysis and breakdown!
Slide on Me -> Sideways rivals the beat switch in Nights. Endless is so underrated.
I’m surprised she didn’t mention Bohemian Rhapsody, a song famous for switching time signatures and tempos.
When Frank Ocean said “beat switch on nights” I felt that
Kannye does this all the time, and its soo good!!
i instantly fell in love with frank ocean
SZA’s Hit different switch to Good days is also Godly
