His work ethic was mediocre and i don't think he wrote hits for other people like Kellz or Babyface

D'angelo taught himself how to play guitar (as an adult), how to patch synths like a 70s engineer, but he got arrested for a DUI and doesn't put out 20 versions of the same song talking about midgets in closets, so he has a mediocre work ethic.

@ItsMeButters Babyface is the only one that makes sense
D'Angelo's work ethic was just too damn poor to be on the same tier with Babyface and Kellz

Kellz is Dyslexic and look how far he's come
While goin thru trial Kellz put out Chocolate factory!!! What kinda argument are u making
Ol’Otis
The Picasso of the Ghetto
he's a perfectionist and his mind is somewhere else majority of the time
and lets keep it real after CF kells has had way more misses than hits
Babyface top 5 of all time. i know his resume. Im just saying, he had 2 other nikkas helping him
Ol’Otis
The Picasso of the Ghetto
he's younger than both of them too
he was born in '74

If we only focus on the 90s it's kinda unfair tho. Cuz 4 albums to 1. Just too many hits from Kellz for D to compete

I'm saying that just because D'angelo doesn't put out 20 "Trapped in a Closets" doesn't mean he hasn't been working his ass off the last 15 years, he just doesn't release his records.Are u serious???

You can't have a mediocre work ethic and teach yourself how to play instruments.
Also D'angelo's music is just better. Nothing r kelly has ever put out will come close to Voodoo artistically

it has to be Babyface
if Devante swing had his mind right he would've passed up kells on the production side

I like D'Angelo but i'm just waiting for his stans to start claiming he's on the same tier as Babyface
This is starting to get a lil ridiculous. D really wasn't pushing out hits like hot cakes
And people forget how influential Devante was
