In the booklet to D'angelos new album "Voodoo" he has
something to say about Prince.....



"....I'd pay to see Prince's face as he listens to this
album. Over the years as I've sat in countless
conversations about why it is that the artist puts out
half the shit he does(you know the half I'm talking about)
is because he lacks any new inspiration. Once again an
artist is faced with the reality of having to serve as
their own inspiration after they have worn out all of their
Sly, Jimi, Marvin, Stevie....."



He also says this which will explain to all the people that
call him a prince rip-off...



"...Or you might say, "but his(D'angelo) shit don't sound
that original, he just sounds like he's trying to be prince
or some shit." and I'd say..Maybe your right. at times I
do. we often study the breathing techniques of our
inspirations.(Inspire means to breath in or to make breath,
inhale.)
