Dubbed a "video art project" by Apple, Frank Ocean's Endless preceded his weekend drop of a ballyhooed new full-length called Blonde. (Or Blond, depending on where you see it available, etc., etc.) On Endless, Ocean mentions both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in tandem at the 18-track release's 8:34 mark.

His flow goes like so: "Nothing but nothing but net/ Is you Roger or Novak?/ You still are no match, you get no rematch, boy, you missed your moment ..."

Ocean's Endless, a visual album of sorts, is no 17-songs-and-17-music-videos Beyoncé effort. (Nothing is.) But it's meant as an extension of Blond(e), previously known as Boys Don't Cry while it was being bandied about by Pitchfork and Vulture and other tragically hip online arenas. As far as any relation to Federer that Ocean might have, let's just say that Twitter user @KatharineScorerwas eerily prescient about the forthcoming line back in 2013.
