2024-01-26 02:57:54 +0000 UTCThe 3 albums are amazing but Voodoo is in my top 5 albums of all times. I am in love with that album.

2024-01-22 02:06:06 +0000 UTCShit, Damn, M'fer is one of my faves from this album. I love the eeriness of it for the reasons you both described. He asks the questions as if he's in disbelief that he's actually seeing what he sees between his wife and friend. Then he dissociates during the act of murder. It almost makes it relatable because he's not raging. So creepy but so good! I haven't heard many songs that insight that kind of feeling.

2024-01-19 20:11:53 +0000 UTCI think most of the artists we loved in the 90s grew up in church. Both of D'Angelo's parents were preachers so the influence is HEAVY!!
Lady LaReux
2024-01-17 09:10:51 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favs!! In my opinion, his best of the 3 albums recorded. I used to fire up the 'wacky tabacky' & listen to music around this time in the 90s 💨 SN: "Lady" the older song was written by Lionel Ritchie and sung by Kenny Rogers

2024-01-10 05:57:14 +0000 UTCThanks for the recommendation, Tina. Kai actually picked up an original copy of the Chocolate City album not that long ago!

2023-12-03 20:19:56 +0000 UTCCan you react to some Maxwell and Raheem DeVaughn?
Carla Davis
2023-12-03 19:11:43 +0000 UTCYes, the original is amazing
jeff baker
2023-12-03 19:07:16 +0000 UTCYou know that's a remake right?
Carla Davis
2023-12-03 18:55:57 +0000 UTCYep! The whole thing! All of it! Including hidden tracks!
Tina Ellis
2023-11-09 05:39:05 +0000 UTC"Chocolate City"!! Please! Please! Please! It gives the essence of what they are all about and why they exist. Also "Up for the Down Stroke" and "Give Up the Funk". But pretty much everyone who knows them knows "Flashlight".
Tina Ellis
2023-11-09 05:38:11 +0000 UTC“Lady” is a perfect song. Kind of surprising your pops didn’t really feel it
Marco
2023-11-03 16:39:29 +0000 UTCMaxwell “urban hang suite” album next please!!
Marco
2023-11-03 15:32:05 +0000 UTCPlease react to “Musiq soulchild”. His song called “love” is nice. He’s a important artist in neo soul music. In my opinion his the best male neo soul artist.
Sammy
2023-10-23 09:31:04 +0000 UTCYes! I came here to say this. Definitely gotta speak about the Soulquarian movement. It definitely was a “something’s in the water” kind of energy.

2023-10-13 09:31:58 +0000 UTCNoted. We absolutely positively have to do A Tribe Called Quest. Never heard them but they’ve been requested as much as anyone. - Dad
The FrontRoom
2023-10-13 05:23:51 +0000 UTCI’ve never heard Parliament and I don't think Kai has either but we both know they are important to the history of music and have had an influence on rap as far as samplings go. We’re thinking of maybe doing a dual reaction to an entire Parliament LP at some point but not sure which one. Any suggestions?

2023-10-13 05:21:27 +0000 UTCThank you for joining, Jeff!

2023-10-13 05:18:42 +0000 UTCI’d love to hear the two of them together. Sounds like a match made in heaven. - Dad

2023-10-13 05:18:06 +0000 UTCI always thought Shit, Damn, MF was inspired by the OJ Simpson Case, I think the trial happened the same year as Brown Sugar was released.
Amber Nicole
2023-10-09 01:35:41 +0000 UTCYes!! Please do Mary Go Round
Amber Nicole
2023-10-09 01:32:12 +0000 UTCAlso...Erykah and D'angelo had a song together called "your precious love". Beautiful

2023-10-08 18:06:52 +0000 UTCI've been with you guys since the beginning but I'm new to the Patreon. I'm glad I joined, D is one of my all time favorites
jeff baker
2023-10-08 17:58:55 +0000 UTCI don't know if you've checked out The Parliament, but "When we Get By" samples they're hit song "One Nation Under A Groove".

2023-10-06 20:12:53 +0000 UTCA Tribe Called Quest included the name & the man into their"Midnight Marauders" album which made the name & the man a "household name". Kai & Dad, A Tribe Called Quest- "Midnight Marauders" reaction, PLEASE!🙏

2023-10-02 22:29:57 +0000 UTCAnything from "The Soulquarians" collective: (Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, The Roots, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, J-Dilla, Q-Tip, Bilal) is monumental! I just wish that they would have created an album while they were all on fire & in high demand. It would have been so epic!!😞
KAZBAAH
2023-10-02 20:32:51 +0000 UTCI haven’t heard it but Kai knows it really well and pretty sure it’s one of his favourite albums. It is definitely a must-do, and sooner than later! - Dad

2023-10-02 07:00:16 +0000 UTCWe did our first live maybe a year ago. Definitiely time to consider another one :) - Dad
The FrontRoom
2023-10-02 06:56:58 +0000 UTCHave y'all already listened to The Miseducation of Lauren Hill yet? Lauren Hill and D'Angelo have a song together called Nothing Even Matters that's really good.

2023-10-02 00:38:43 +0000 UTCI love your platform, I'll definitely join a live once the audience convinces you guys to let us join the conversation!

2023-10-01 18:21:03 +0000 UTCRaphael Saadiq is an absolute musical lesson requirement, a prerequisite for a lot of the top songs in R&B. You guys gotta do producer appreciation, babyface, Dallas Austin, Brian Cox, Raphael Saadiq,
Amethyst Simone
2023-10-01 18:07:17 +0000 UTCThere's a lot of missing context in regard to the timeframe of the album debut and culturally how we moved in the community that primarily support this genre; the early 90s needed the peace and exploration of neo-soul cause we're surviving the crack epidemic as discussed in the Rap albums that came at the same time. D'Angelo gave us what we needed
Amethyst Simone
2023-10-01 17:12:00 +0000 UTCPlease, please do Musiq Soulchild. Aijuswanaseing is a great first album and fits beautifully in the Neo-soul genre. And make sure India.Arie is coming up ❤️❤️❤️

2023-10-01 16:41:23 +0000 UTCHis talent is authentic and worth the wait
Amethyst Simone
2023-10-01 16:39:10 +0000 UTCThis used to be in heavy rotation at the crib when it first came out. I still have the CD, lol. Glad y'all enjoyed (Dee-Angelo). Check out Angie Stone's Mahogany Soul album too. She's linked to D'Angelo artistically and personally.

2023-10-01 05:29:15 +0000 UTCThe way you guys pronounce D'Angelo has me rolling 🤣

2023-10-01 05:27:44 +0000 UTCBeen waiting for this one!!! Prince inspired D’Angelo and Stevie inspired Prince!! All amazing multi-instrumentalists!!! Prince played all instruments on his first five albums.
