Ive been listening to these clips over the last week. Seems like D'Angelo lacked drive.

I was kinda shocked to hear she was the driving force behind his first album. I was also shocked she wrote Sugar Hill Gangs records..

Its funny she said he was an overweight dude but by the time we saw him, he was transformed and cut up.

Yeah, which in a way, makes sense when you think about

look at the time periods between each of his albums: Brown Sugar was 95', Voodoo was 00' and then Black Messiah was 2014. long stretches of time.

but yeah, Angie is a great songwriter in her own right. and it make that they worked together so well in the beginning.

Angie was already an established writer when D' was working on Brown Sugar, so she knew how put the finishing touches on the songs/albums

yeah, D'angelo was slightly overweight in the beginning, he just wore baggy clothes to cover it up

check out this live performance of Brown Sugar, Angie is one of his background singers, she's the woman with the short cut

I don’t know if he lacked drive or not I always thought he was a real bad over thinker and which made him super hesitant

i always remember an older interview with her where she spoke on how the industry broke them up as well, when he got on as seen as a sex symbol, they were pushing him to not be out with her - a dark overweight woman, fukkin haters.

anyway, still love mahogany soul, top 10 porject from the 96-03 neo soul era

I remember when she said they were at some award show event, about to walk the red carpet and his camp or publicist paired him with Vivica A. Fox to walk with instead of Angie Stone
