That's my main problem with Voodoo - those infuriating mumbling vocals. Enunciate, fool! He had no problem singing on "Brown Sugar". Plus all of the vocal layering gets tiresome. I enjoy "Brown Sugar" infinitely more than Voodoo.

ChaosDisorder said:

yah i hate the mumbling too, but its a small price to pay for those soul melting grooves

Hey, man who surpassed his idols, you are saying D´angelo is funkier than Prince and that Prince is funkier than James. So you are saying that D´Angelo is funkier than James Brown.


haha

How could someone argue?

7salles said:

Certainly you can't argue, you're lacking in wit, so don't bother trying

Anyways i take back my statement, Don't know what i was on, Maybe was because i just finished listening to Planet Earth and was kinda pissed about the onslaught of Pop songs on there...
Prince is pretty damn funky...
Just finished listening to TRC, N.E.W.S. NPS, Gold Nigga and Exodus...
So iight you guys win
Prince is a funky motha fucka, Funkier than D

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. .[/quote]


Wasn't Untitled (How Does it Feel) dedicated to Prince in the liner notes?


D'angelo's career is sad, he has talent but not sure if he will comeback to make a good album again. Kinda went the route of Devante Swing, another talent wasted..

my nigga.....if you only knew....

Ah, the boy comes, say something stupid trying to shock (like d is funkier than p, or i am better guitar player than p), say a few stupid things pretending he knows anything about real music, than gives a step back from what he said saying he was just pissed. How pathetic.

SirPsycho said:

Oh, boy! Yeap, I know it all. But, uhhh, you know how it really works out....don't you? J/K....or am I.....

FarrahMoan said:

Wow and here I was thinking what happens in Vegas...

adorable2 said:

say word!?...


ay farrah....u ever seen new jersey drive?

SirPsycho said:

I remember a few tidbits. I know "Debra Wilson". Some of the music kind of got me nostalgic, man. Nice shit! Hey, but why'd you ask?

FarrahMoan said:

...i dont even know anymore

OOOo i think you're obsessed with me
I don't take kindly to stalkers, especially wannabe players like you.
Come and get me when you can get some gigs in line,

The track was a demo and not a full fledged song. It was actually Questlove's way of letting folks know that he was actually working on music. Unfortunately, it spread all over the net like wildfire and was broadcast as a "new song" There were actually were no words and D'Angelo did "mumble" the entire track. It's a technique he borrowed from Marvin Gaye... mumbling in harmonies and going back and putting actual lyrics in its place. I hate seeing D'Angelo discussed on these boards because it usually turns into a purple-nut-hugging affair and folks wind up making mountains out of molehills. D'Angelo does his thing (slower than molasses ... seemingly) . Prince does his. It if ever surfaces on LP, I think the track 1000 Deaths will shut a lot of people up about D's skills as a musician.

bsk3601 said:

Oh, I don't doubt D'Angelo's skills as a musician. I really enjoyed his first album, but think that outside of a handful of songs, Voodoo sounds like one track repeated endlessly. He has a great gift, but he's done an excellent job of squandering that gift so far.

ChaosDisorder said:

I do disagree with you about Voodoo. I think it's one of the most important soul records since 2000. However, I do agree that he's jacking up his gift. I try not to let an artist's personal demons affect the way I feel about him/her as an artist (i.e. D'Angelo, Amy Winehouse, etc) But even if he never drops another album again I still think he's made a great impact on soul music with 2 albums.

EmbattledWarrior said:

Yeah right, D has had a great career with tunes that people sing on the street. He has had such an impact on music world and all. A real musical revolution.
Voodoo is one of the best albums of all time.

Everything above is true if you know shit about Sly, Marvin, Stevie, Clinton, James Brown and P.

I swear some of you talk about funk and really don't know what it is.

Apart from Chicken Grease (which is my joint!) there really isn't anything remotely funky on Voodoo.

People at OKAYPLAYER are very delusiona. They continue to sing the praises of no talent bums like LiL Wayne.

EmbattledWarrior said:

R U outta your damn mind?

This isn't even arguable.

Mike Archer(D'Angelo) was a complete Prince head. Dude had posters on the wall.

He used 2 study every live video tape he had, with his finger over the pause button.

The man's funky, but uh-uh... not funkier than P, and D knows it.

EmbattledWarrior said:

'Voodoo' doesn't even touch 'Brown Sugar', which was a much better album.

Does anyone know if d'angelo has any gigs lined up, last time i seen him was brixton academy in london, the guy was on fire (not literally) and had the crowd screaming for more, anyone who thinks the voodoo album is crap, are souless, and cant be true musicians at heart.

please dont compare these 2 artists its impossible, prince and d'angelo are both fab musicians in their own right.and i know they both have the ultimate respect for each others work

Because as we all know, there can only be one opinion and one right answer when it comes to subjective works of art such as music?
