Who was doing Neo soul before D’Angelo that was receiving mainstream success?

Neo-soul just means new soul artists. Soul artists have been making that type of music since forever. Now I already said that I will give him credit for being the first of that wave of neo soul artists from the 90's.

D'angelo for me. Kells is a great song writer but as far as vocals & the ability to play instruments it's D.

He fits in perfect with them:



Hopped on an old school rock track



Can hop any a hip hop track



Playing the guitar



Soulful Fusion Jazz



D'angelo's music is just that raw and organic R&B soul music down to the core.
Like he just make that music that's everlasting.

What I feel about Kells music. Timeless.

Yeah?
To me, D'angelo is like a hybrid of Marvin and Sly and the way he makes music that's reminiscent of music of the 70's but without sounding like he's biting the legends of that era (but showing the influence and continuing sound of a legendary moment in time) is amazing to me

All debatable

:gucci: at D'Angelo not being a problem with the production between him and Jay Dee/Dilla they are damn near responsible for the neo soul movement by themselves. Breh had cats like Maxwell scared to drop/pushing their shyt back until after D dropped his projects.

R Kelly has more filler than dope shyt. Breh jacked Aaron Hall who previously jacked Charlie Wilson. And thats only 1 indicator of blatant biting.

:mjlol: @ D dropping some bullshyt like trapped in the closet.
