Stevie Wonder>>>>>Marvin Gaye

Can play more instruments,has better albums and a better catalog

Stevie Wonder got the instrumentalist game on lock, but I prefer Gaye's voice and songs more :ehh:

To me, Prince is the GOAT.

And to that nikka who said Prince's personality is fukked up :ufdup:

Soul will change your life. Being white , you should also read "The White Negro" by Norman Mailer. Just throwing it out there.
Do you have any suggestions for stuff similar to the songs I posted. Only thing I can't really get into are the songs about God and stuff. While I understand why religion was extremely important to them at the time I just can't get into stuff like that. I think out of all the soul artists Sam Cooke had the most beautiful voice ever. But I know most of his music turned into gospel too.

I'll have to check that book out. I basically am a white negro :russ:

I'm white, so I hadn't got into soul music until just recently. I've only listened to What's going on, which is fukking incredible. Inner city blues is my favorite.

Stevie Wonder is :ahh: too. I've only listened to songs in the key of life. Some of the gospel stuff I don't like but shyt like

my favorite stevie song (that I've heard)

Inner City Blues may be my favourite soul song ever. so many times I'd be walking home from studying on campus last year, just yelling out the lyrics at like 3am. The instruments on that song >>>

Marvin has better vocals, is a better performer, and probably has the same amount of musical impact with less time and without being in the spotlight early as a teen artist. Stevie catalog is deeper but if you take their best albums and match it up its neck to neck.

Stevie is top 3 dead or alive though.

so beautiful.


I swear black folks made the best music ever. Something about all that pain and suffering translates into amazing music.

I seriously have a hard time getting into music made by white folks, because its like "The fukk do you have to complain about?". The only rock music I ever listened to was shyt like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

We got that soul breh. As far as rock, i've been meaning to listen to pink Floyd. I downloaded the Animals album but didnt play it much. What should I start with?

I'm a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins and select Grunge albums (Superunkknown, Ten, Nevermind) and some other stuff like Weezer's blue album.

I have noticed that when rock bands drop their greatest albums its like nothing else in their discography even comes close to the quality. Only 2 phenomenal albums from one group that I've heard so far are Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie/Infinite Sadness. Maybe I;m just very selective when it comes to rock.

My Pops Forever RIP
He could be, but only cause of death. If marvin gaye were still alive he'd be in the same boat as Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin etc. Basically a black legend who people aren't really checking for now. Let's not forget his drug habit was fukking up his money so he would've probably sold his publishing and today would be relegated to singing hooks for hiphop records just to pay the bills while doing Superbowl half time shows with Elton John and Prince while we shake our heads and said geez why didn't this guy just die in the 80s

Chief Keef feat. Marvin Gaye- Citgo Remix :mindblown:

We were deprived of immortality brehs :to:

I'm very selective too. And I agree, it seems rock bands come out with like 1 or 2 classic albums and then all the rest are kinda :ehh:

with Pink Floyd, just to see if you like them, I'd start with Dark Side of the Moon. The album is fukking :mindblown: I haven't really listened to much of their other stuff though.

Smashing pumpkins and weezer are the shyt.

You might also like Led Zeppelin, this is one of my favorite songs of theirs(they're one of the more consistent bands).

I also like the more psychedelic Beatles albums like Revolver

You're suggesting blacks make better music because of "all the pain and suffering" and because they have more to complain about? :pachaha:

Or Maybe black folks are musically talented
