It's more telling on the selfish and devilish nature of people in the business. I saw him on his comeback tour a couple years ago and it was terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible. He tried to do what Prince does, but doesn't realize he ain't Prince. Folks were pissed. He ain't done a show in 15 years or something and they wanted to hear his hits. He got onstage and played funk on the guitar all night. It went from cheers and people happy he was back to complete silence. I know he must have felt awkward and probably went to hit the pipe afterwards.

damn, thats too bad. i went to a comeback show a couple years back and he killed it. he did all his hits and ended with "untitled (how does it feel)". had the whole crowd singing it too. shyt was dope.

as far as this open letter, boo fukkin hoo, cry me a river. this insideplaya cat is in his 50s crying cause d'angelo aint give him some props in an interview. gtfoh. sure it sounds like he did alot of work behind the scenes in d'angelo's career, but thats what he got paid to do. im pretty sure he wasn't doing that shyt for free. your paycheck is your recognition. all that other shyt is your ego talking.

Yeah I dont understand why this letter was written. Writer sounds like a scorned woman because he didn't get mentioned in that interview... ?

It was probably after the one I saw. I KNOW his people had to get in his ear and let him know to cut the experimental bullshyt out and stick to the basics.

Doesn't sound like scorn. Sounds like someone who tried to help dude calling him out on his bullshyt. The Questloves and the people hanging around don't care about dude's well being, just trying to be around. If they did they would have helped dude get clean.


Same with DMX. Expect to see alot of phoney boo hoo when X dies from a bunch of people who didn't give a fukk about him.

i saw a interview where he said he went into hiding to learn how to play guitar

and 15 years later he was still the worst guitar player ive ever seen





this is the best i could find of him
blues is the easiest to play. he looks like hes only been playing 3 years instead of 15
people will get fooled by this shyt but not real guitar players

You're reaching breh. He ain't no virtuoso but he's alright.



But yeah def not a gawd on guitar like Questlove was hyping him up to be:snoop:

His new guitarist Isiah Sharkey is a real beast though.
