check it out...not out yet...waiting to hear it. I saw D'Angelo back in '99 and thought he'd be the new Prince if he played his cards right...he didn't.

Love him-u know him personally?

This is not D'Angelo's new album... This is merely a "bootleg" mixtape...

I would like to hear it...I know he covered this in '97 on the Scream 2 soundtrack but I thought this may be a new version...now I know. Thanks for the update.

Nope...just saw him perform at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip and he tore the roof off the joint.

Oh ok-Still love him
You're my lady

You are also breaking the Forum rules by posting this link to pirate and bootleg material.

Hasn't D'angelo been covering Prince his whole career?

Chaka Mad, wat wat?.

You're joking, right ?

This guy has not done 2% of what prince has done in his career musically speaking. And you call him "funkier" ?!

D'Angelo is a pale copy of Marvin gaye + Prince. He is talented but he has not written one tune that will remain after his death.

That pretty much sums it up - you are right on. It seems that the last 10 or 15 years have been rife with imitators with a fraction of the talent who are supposed to be greater than Prince.

you know that tune , when the saints go marchin in?

I've never heard "Voodoo". I've heard "ABOUT" it. I heard it was pretty damn good. However, for someone who has not listened to anything from "Voodoo", but "Untitled (How Does it Feel)", which when it came out, I thought that it was off-showy. Anyway, for someone who hasn't listened to it, I'm going to take my chances and use "The Black Album" as a possible candidate for something in "Prince's Catalogue" that could be funkier. Mind you, I stress, "POSSIBLE", as the key word only because I hadn't heard "Voodoo". Hell, "The Black Album" is the one album of "Prince's" where I can't note a synthesizer, but maybe that's just me.

Bullshit. Voodoo is an everlasting cd. It gets so fucking boring after a few listens. Tune after tune, same tricks, same sort of arrangements.
There are thousands of funk cds better than Voodoo out there.
he is trying to be Sly on Voodoo but just fail. face down.
Black Album is original, creative, full of ideas btw.

Herewefuckingoagain... Some dumb shitty discussion... With that said, I hope D has something new coming out. D is a genuine talent and really helped revive the music scene... He has always given P and other legends their props. P appreciates it nuff said.

adorable2 said:

hehe, what do you expect, it's the org. lol

if your watching D'angelo, please release another album like VOODOO, my fav album of all time glad to hear he,s back on form

EmbattledWarrior said:

I read somewhere awhile back that D'angelo had memorized every Prince ( and Marvin Gaye ) song ever released. I doubted it at the time, but with a coke habit and no real career to speak of, anything's possible with all that extra time and energy ...

d'angelo is very good. but comparing d'angelo's career to prince's in terms of musical evolution and originality and mastery of music, d'angelo is about at the level prince was at after his self-titled second album. thats the gap we're dealing with here.

Voodoo is a horrible album , horr-ible , if youre reading people saying "its
funkier than Prince" and thinking , ooh I must get that , be warned , its
truly a dreadful work , avoid like the plague

Thank you! I don't get this universal praise of Voodoo. I guess if you can get past all of the songs being indistinguishable from one another and the undecipherable vocals mixed way in the back, it's a great album.

EmbattledWarrior said:

maybe...but D'Angelo IS DEFINATELY NOT funkier than Prince...I mean really...and i know his music...

that's like saying prince is funkier than JB..... i mean come on now....even Prince would slap someone saying he's funkier than james

All I've heard in ages of new D'Angelo music is a demo of a track called 'Really Love' that I think Questlove gave to an Australian radio station. Correct me if I'm wrong and you know otherwise. The track was meandering and didn't sound fully fleshed out. D's vocals are 'mumbly', to put it mildly.
