RIP D'Angelo

[TheLostOnes]

Bro this shyt is a hurt piece. The reason I learned he passed was because I happened to see 9th Wonder's post on IG about him. When I saw that shyt in the mall I deadass almost shed a couple tears. I'm still in disbelief man we really lost a legend to the R&B and Neo Soul genre. This man was a fukking genius none of his albums sound similar to the other he always experimented with music and it was all amazing. R.I.P D'Angelo and thoughts prayers to his family and his child they lost both of their parents in the span of 7 months. That shyt was brutal to anyone.

I always loved D'angelo's piano style...



It's clearly informed from/by the Afram church traditions of piano (and organ) playing

D’Angelo had enough respect for himself not to just be looked at as a sex symbol. I remember him not wanting to have his BW female fanbase turn on him either.

I’m glad he didn’t end up with a Me-Too allegation either.

A really talented singer, not many like him in the game anymore

RIP

Damn D. 3 Albums. 3 Classics. The Perfect example of quality over quantity. He's a Legend. I copped "Brown Sugar" in summer of 95. "Lady", "Brown Sugar" and "Cruisin" were huge. Don't get me started on the AZ remix for "Lady". Then he hit us with all the rap collabos. So many great songs. D'Angelo was all about quality records. He barely had any weak songs. He laced "Devils Pie" from Premo. "Voodoo" was huge at the turn of the century. Then he took a decade off before dropping more heat with "Black Messiah". Last I heard he was working with Raphel Saadiq again for his next album for this decade. He was not just a great singer but musician. With the Angie Stone news earlier this year it's even more tragic. Peace D'Angelo. Neo Soul King.

D made that touch your soul music. Not sure I can listen to it right now. Might need a few days.

 

[Crumple]

Rest in peace.

On top of his great voice - Voodoo is one of greatest mixed/ mastered albums sonically in any genre.
