Before he even listens to it, he thinks it will be a regular album and will not get attached and we see that as completely incorrect. Instead we see the opposite, Self Control brought him to call his own mom for comfort and White Ferrari related to his past relationships when Frank Ocean says “Good Times” repeatedly. Young Dabo himself says real men don’t cry but his record deal is named Boys Don’t Cry so in reality Men Cry and let out their emotions as Young Dabo does. He gives us a piece of his mind and tries to figure out as well why Frank Ocean acts the way he does. In the end, we see he has been drained of everything but says in a few words that this albums is perfection because he couldn’t even stop himself from crying sometimes. Hopefully, Young Dabo can recover in time but this piece is more of Frank Ocean’s saddest but most emotional work. Nikes is most geered to the edges of morals, convenience, and most of it relationships. The most painful lyric being “I’m not him, but I’ll mean something to you.” portrays the convenience of having everything but not benefiting how it is. Taking place in the summer, Nikes speaks about the martyr, Treyvon Martin who was only 17 years old when he was killed in 2012 unarmed. Also notes A$AP Yams who died due to drug abuse as well as Pimp C. Young Dabo zeros in on the song takes each lyric in, piece by piece. This song works inside of our human heart sand plays with our emotions a bit and is only the introduction to this album (stills long way to go). The three interludes (Be Yourself, Good Guy and Facebook Story) portrays the relation between Young Dabo and their stories. Young Dabo wants to instigate happiness in their somber stories but at the same time can’t do anything about it. They mainly explain the consequences of drugs and toxic/clingy relationships. Young Dabo highly relates as we can see him crying profoundly and even at some points he shows his pain to the audience verbally. Self Control really connects to Young Dabo’s “Self Control”. As if they have spilit personalities. He screams shouts goes to see his mom for a hug. He really loses self control. The calm instrumental while a child like voice repeats “keep a place for me” in order to balance self control. When Frank Ocean says “I I know you got to leave leave” it shows the connection of attachment issues and there will be isolation, you must have “self control” to keep yourself sane enough to fight it off. White Ferrari includes the intense vocals of Frank and how self care is very important among and towards others. Also not to talk negativity while going on “these rides” meaning the beautiful memories you make with other people. You should cherish the time you have with your significant other or loved ones whether that be your friends or family. Young Dabo reminisces with this message and understands his message more clearly as he progresses through the album. In 51:25 he criticizes Frank for having no jolly songs and explains he can’t take this sadness and pain any longer while hesitating on his decision because that is how FRANK OCEAN feels at this point. This is important because it relates to the sorrow throughout this album i’m a truthfully way. It gives insight to hair a healing process in any relationship w there that be they passed away or broke entire relations from interacting with you. Finally, Siegfried shows the mysterious but calm atmosphere to Young Dabo. He seems confused but likes the idea of living outside while having very little sanity/mentality left. He thinks very deeply especially when the voice says “I be dreaming of dreaming a thought”. He agrees on what he says and the song this correlates with thinking on decision in some way while that person (Frank Ocean) not being “brave” in that moment to choose showing him to be indecisive. Instead of a life-ruining drug addiction, he's dealing with pressures to conform to other people’s expectations, and the general highs and lows of life in Los Angeles during 2013. Young Dabo is sincere listening to this song most likely since it brought a better message than the truthful heartbroken ones. Instead of crying, he expresses his feelings with intent to make Frank “power through this”. Age difference is huge in this album. You could listening to this in your teenage or adult years and have different perceptions on things he talk about. Young Dabo is sensitive to the topics but expresses his feelings in a moderate way even if he goes off the top sometimes. Young Dabo is clearly in love with the album but will that change? Most likely not. This album may even be considered “overrated” at some point but it cannot be categorized as “bad” because it touches someone’s hearts in anyway. This album is general is experimental and has been planned from the start to make you as an individual not much as a group to give your own thoughts or ideas. No matter what race, sexual preference, gender, religion, etc. you will have a different view in some way or form because everyone has experienced different things in their lives either relating or not. Duality can be seen by two people just interacting perfectly. Frank Ocean masters it in various ways. Through his lyrics and time management it brings to symmetry. The duality is always fought where one gains or one loses. Nothing can ever happen the same to one another. It feels off but at the same time it gives the concepts of the truth in problems or relations like this today. In Conclusion, the album is a 20/10 in his eyes (and many others) touching his heart completely. He knows that he is drained of this album emotionally but can take something out of this. The ads throughout this listen give him the break and comic relief to let it all out too. Dabo lucky to experience blonde for a first time wishing I had that. Thanks for this album reaction/review I love you young dabo!
@@diobrando5549 Hes a sad mf and anyone whos having a rough day can get fucked up even worse around the half way point, where nights beat switch comes in
While listening to this i realised that we are so fucking lucky to be able to listen to music like this,have a house where its not cold and live a life that we can have fun and cry to music that make us remember that somethings that we had liked will never come back again but whats more important is that we lived it and had fun.
I think we take music for granted we focus too much on album sales and whether or not am artist or album is mid or not but we should really appreciate the fact that beautiful music is free we can listen to our favorite songs anywhere whenever we want and there's soo many different genres we can discover
same, this kinda made me feel like i was listening to it for the first time again and it's just so wow i cant even i love this album more than life itself
he had 5+ heart attacks and needed comfort from his mom you know this has to be his lowest point on youtube, blonde was an extreme compared to igor but best take of all time and experienced it to the max, he shows the true representation of blonde, its highs and lows of emotions. absolute perfection.

Jokes aside this kid really understands the depth of music in such a young age its almost unnatural how mature he interpretes it in his mind at such age.
This was more than just an album reaction by Young Dabo. This was a cinematic masterpiece, praiseworthy. Not only did we get to watch Young Dabo suffer and despair through this Frank Ocean album, but we got to experience it with him. We were witnesses to Young Dabo's highs and lows during this video. Absolute masterpiece of a video, Sir Dabo. Bravo.
Alright so there are 2 options here Either all of this is real, in which case he's brave enough to show his vulnerabilities on CZcams and music really is able to touch him like this Or all of this is fake, which would make him one of the most convincing actors I have ever seen Whatever this kid is doing, it's incredible
I feel you bruh I cried to this album during a relationship that was falling apart and there was nothing I could do. Frank helped me through some really rough times dawg
the first time i listened to it was in a mall with my mom while still in high school. I remember being a happy careless teenager, having fun with my friends, most of whom I've fallen out with. I'm still reminiscing these times of innocently falling in love, doing fun stupid things and feeling deep connections with people. These days I work and study to be a mathematician, I have much less time to hang out with people and I cannot connect with them, I cannot open up and let my soul be disturbed, so I feel lonely constantly. Man I love this album. I want to feel this innocent sense of happiness that I get while listening to frank.
i rewatch this vid so often and it still kills me each time how literally 2secs into nikes his face just like drops and he's experiencing a greater level of rebirth than the actual italian renaissance . this is so real
god damn i have a condition that makes me physically unable to cry- seeing u cry and being able to express ur emotions fills me up with warm feelings - nice to know that people can enjoy music this much still
i don’t think mine its really a condition, like something that a doctor diagnosed to me, but i’ve been at the lowest point of my life and i’ve became so apathetic that i haven’t cried since so many years. i feel you so much it sucks
@@tracegage3505 I know someone who has something along these lines, I'm not sure if it's the same one but the condition is called CIPA i think? it makes someone physically unable to secrete tears from their eyes so they can't cry no matter how sad they are
Nobody tell him that the end of the album is from a clip of Frank Oceans brother Ryan, talking about his dreams, aspirations and things he enjoys in life; and that Ryan passed away at 18 not too long ago, about 2 years ago
this album has grown so much and me you just didn't nothing to Frank's brother but this too much for me to handle bro(I'm sorry Frank's brother but this too much like i said bruh too handle)
Best moments 0:20 - I'm a MAN, I'm not crying 1:43 - cries on first line of first song 7:15 - calls for mommy and lean 9:30 - instant regret 10:30 - realises mommy ain't comin 18:00 - Regret 21:19 - Anger 25:33 - Help me 30:12 - Absolute pain 46:00 - loses all breath 48:04 - ugly cry 48:58 - eargasm 59:33 - kill me
normally i'm not a huge fan of like reaction videos but seeing someone else having mental breakdowns to my favourite album feels so therapeutic. makes me feel like i'm listening to it for the first time again ^^
even tho i’ve had a solid relationship going for a good few months ivy still gets me everytime to this day. my favorite song ever and will always mean something to me
Man, I think I found my favorite youtuber who reacts to albums and songs, it isn't about what ratings you'll gove to an album, my guy put so much expressions and dedication to listen to every album he reviewed. Rollercoaster of emotions, and based on experience reviews will always be the best album reactor for me, also their reactions and perspectives afterwards that song gives people the real idea and details about the album, it ain't about the numbers, its all about the emotions...and this guy killed it. I do be laughing throughout the whole video but I admit that I also do be like that after my first breakup. God bless this guy and this album ❤🥀
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough.
you know, it's been a long while since the last time i listened to this masterpiece, i thought it could'nt give me tears no more for how much i listened to it and from how much i absorbed all the songs, but at the mid part of futura free i really lost it, i was a very different person first time i listened to this album and it still felt like the first time in some way. re-listening to this album with u has really been a nice experience, thank you Dabo

*Blonde was released on August 20, 2016 with his own label “Boy’s Don’t Cry” and releases this album after dropping Endless with Def Jam Records exclusively on Apple Music the day before. There are many artists who collaborated on Blonde (69 in total). Kayne co-writed White Ferrari, Beyoncé sent her vocals to be put on Pink + White and Yung Lean can be heard faintly on Godspeed. Kendrick Lamar did the adlibs on Skyline To. He inspired many artists such as Joji, Daniel Ceaser, etc. This 17 track masterpiece shows us his true thoughts on life and what to expect after his 4 year hiatus since his last album release (channel ORANGE).*
*He created his own genre of hip hop which was at this time where masculinity was dominated it (new genres were very much not taken seriously and not seen as “true” hip hop. He shows the other combinations it can make with soothing R & B vocals on a upbeat or sorrowful beat.*
*André 3000 sings on Solo (Reprise)*
*Blonde is exactly one hour long and separation of two parts 30 minutes each is seen at the beat switch in Nights*
*There are two parts of Blonde: Blonde (Femininity) and Blond (Masculinity) creating the the aspects for both genders to relate*
*The main theme of this album is duality.*
Young Dabo is seen here processing everything and relates to his own personal life in some way. Such as tracks like Ivy and Solo made him think about his loved ones in grief/breakups while Futura Free and Godspeed brought him some warm calming feeling. Before he even listens to it, he thinks it will be a regular album and will not get attached and we see that as completely incorrect. Instead we see the opposite, Self Control brought him to call his own mom for comfort and White Ferrari related to his past relationships when Frank Ocean says “Good Times” repeatedly. Young Dabo himself says real men don’t cry but his record deal is named Boys Don’t Cry so in reality Men Cry and let out their emotions as Young Dabo does. He gives us a piece of his mind and tries to figure out as well why Frank Ocean acts the way he does. In the end, we see he has been drained of everything but says in a few words that this albums is perfection because he couldn’t even stop himself from crying sometimes. Hopefully, Young Dabo can recover in time but this piece is more of Frank Ocean’s saddest but most emotional work.
Nikes is most geered to the edges of morals, convenience, and most of it relationships. The most painful lyric being “I’m not him, but I’ll mean something to you.” portrays the convenience of having everything but not benefiting how it is. Taking place in the summer, Nikes speaks about the martyr, Treyvon Martin who was only 17 years old when he was killed in 2012 unarmed. Also notes A$AP Yams who died due to drug abuse as well as Pimp C. Young Dabo zeros in on the song takes each lyric in, piece by piece. This song works inside of our human heart sand plays with our emotions a bit and is only the introduction to this album (stills long way to go).
The three interludes (Be Yourself, Good Guy and Facebook Story) portrays the relation between Young Dabo and their stories. Young Dabo wants to instigate happiness in their somber stories but at the same time can’t do anything about it. They mainly explain the consequences of drugs and toxic/clingy relationships. Young Dabo highly relates as we can see him crying profoundly and even at some points he shows his pain to the audience verbally.
Self Control really connects to Young Dabo’s “Self Control”. As if they have spilit personalities. He screams shouts goes to see his mom for a hug. He really loses self control. The calm instrumental while a child like voice repeats “keep a place for me” in order to balance self control. When Frank Ocean says “I I know you got to leave leave” it shows the connection of attachment issues and there will be isolation, you must have “self control” to keep yourself sane enough to fight it off.
White Ferrari includes the intense vocals of Frank and how self care is very important among and towards others. Also not to talk negativity while going on “these rides” meaning the beautiful memories you make with other people. You should cherish the time you have with your significant other or loved ones whether that be your friends or family. Young Dabo reminisces with this message and understands his message more clearly as he progresses through the album.
In 51:25 he criticizes Frank for having no jolly songs and explains he can’t take this sadness and pain any longer while hesitating on his decision because that is how FRANK OCEAN feels at this point. This is important because it relates to the sorrow throughout this album i’m a truthfully way. It gives insight to hair a healing process in any relationship w there that be they passed away or broke entire relations from interacting with you.
Finally, Siegfried shows the mysterious but calm atmosphere to Young Dabo. He seems confused but likes the idea of living outside while having very little sanity/mentality left. He thinks very deeply especially when the voice says “I be dreaming of dreaming a thought”. He agrees on what he says and the song this correlates with thinking on decision in some way while that person (Frank Ocean) not being “brave” in that moment to choose showing him to be indecisive. Instead of a life-ruining drug addiction, he's dealing with pressures to conform to other people’s expectations, and the general highs and lows of life in Los Angeles during 2013. Young Dabo is sincere listening to this song most likely since it brought a better message than the truthful heartbroken ones. Instead of crying, he expresses his feelings with intent to make Frank “power through this”.
Age difference is huge in this album. You could listening to this in your teenage or adult years and have different perceptions on things he talk about. Young Dabo is sensitive to the topics but expresses his feelings in a moderate way even if he goes off the top sometimes. Young Dabo is clearly in love with the album but will that change? Most likely not. This album may even be considered “overrated” at some point but it cannot be categorized as “bad” because it touches someone’s hearts in anyway. This album is general is experimental and has been planned from the start to make you as an individual not much as a group to give your own thoughts or ideas. No matter what race, sexual preference, gender, religion, etc. you will have a different view in some way or form because everyone has experienced different things in their lives either relating or not.
Duality can be seen by two people just interacting perfectly. Frank Ocean masters it in various ways. Through his lyrics and time management it brings to symmetry. The duality is always fought where one gains or one loses. Nothing can ever happen the same to one another. It feels off but at the same time it gives the concepts of the truth in problems or relations like this today.
In Conclusion, the album is a 20/10 in his eyes (and many others) touching his heart completely. He knows that he is drained of this album emotionally but can take something out of this.
The ads throughout this listen give him the break and comic relief to let it all out too.
Dabo lucky to experience blonde for a first time wishing I had that.

I feel you bruh I cried to this album during a relationship that was falling apart and there was nothing I could do. Frank helped me through some really rough times dawg
make money don't worry about girl
the first time i listened to it was in a mall with my mom while still in high school. I remember being a happy careless teenager, having fun with my friends, most of whom I've fallen out with. I'm still reminiscing these times of innocently falling in love, doing fun stupid things and feeling deep connections with people. These days I work and study to be a mathematician, I have much less time to hang out with people and I cannot connect with them, I cannot open up and let my soul be disturbed, so I feel lonely constantly. Man I love this album. I want to feel this innocent sense of happiness that I get while listening to frank.
This album goes hard after a breakup

The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand.
The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells.
A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more.
The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball.
However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter.
Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible.
It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value.
In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation.
Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage.
When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings.
Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building.
Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox.
If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique.
For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed.
For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa.
They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower.
The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push.
A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted
A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower.
This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower.
The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it.
A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower.
Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense.
The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is.
A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily.
A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough.
ESSE É O MELHOR VÍDEO DA INTERNET

“I didn’t think it’d be this sad 😢” Bro, Frank Ocean CREATED sadness, remember that
Thank you Hidden for posting this gem
i go back to watch this from time to time to cry with you
Frank is the only artist capable of producing a reaction so visceral.
Facts, he creates such beautiful imagery with his voice and lyrics
Literally I love him so much
Dababy brings tears to my eyes sometimes 😢😢😢😢😢🥹🥹🥹🥹
This is a joke lol
Frank, Tyler, and Radiohead do it for me
who else noticed the "nights" beat switch was at the exact mid-point of the reaction?
just like it was in the album😂
Wow fr
Damn I just notice
The nights beat switch is also exactly halfway thru the album too
yes its a notable thing that happens which changes the energy
This should have been played at the Frank Ocean Coachella Headline Performance. Would have been a much better experience for everyone lmao
I would do anything to hear this album for the first time again
this is the most beautiful, elegant, raw and touching video i’ve ever seen on youtube. Thank you.
you know, it's been a long while since the last time i listened to this masterpiece, i thought it could'nt give me tears no more for how much i listened to it and from how much i absorbed all the songs, but at the mid part of futura free i really lost it, i was a very different person first time i listened to this album and it still felt like the first time in some way.
re-listening to this album with u has really been a nice experience, thank you Dabo
Bro I don’t understand what y’all tripping over this album
this album is the greatest thing i ever heard, this is the perfect album, i love this video too, thanks frank ocean.
He took it like a champ, i was bawling my eyes out the first time I heard the album
If you really allow music to move you, it's clear that it's the purest art form that's directly linked to our neurons and emotional reserves
i love how you said allow, some ppl dont really allow art to move them and they miss out on a really beautiful growing experience
Nigga what?
