definetly new metal...sounds like a soundtrack to a meth lab And kids, check out the dictionary for that little buzz word "neo". It means the new...these guys are emulating the old...thats the whole schtick And since when do we judge the arts according to "not sucking". So D'Angelo gets props cuz R.Kelly is scum, or cuz Ashanti is generic, shallow music. If your boy is so hot don't compare him to these tools in the R&B game. whatever. Lets stop the discussion, there is no comparison... Nero | |

pdubble said: Wow...the fierceness of this discussion goes to show me that neo soul will most likely never get respect from the insensitive mainstream as it stands today.
In reality there should be twice the media coverage on the neo soul movement, which is really a cultural movement in black america today, as Chris Rock said " between the brothers & the n**gaz, & the n**gaz have got to GO!!! " They would rather disregard our rare successful young black musicians as ripoff artists yet not acknowledge the current struggle to get real BLACK musicians out of the gate (ie: non-rap). It is harder than ever to find a young "prince", "george", "jimi" or "james" today for reasons others take for granted: little investment in inner city music programs, racism, inopportunity, MTV monolthic global dominant mind warping of the young negro's self image..I could go on.Pointless. We cherish neo soul as a matchstick light for self respect in the thick darkness of passe thug music by other black performers (Ashanti, Nelly, I could go on.pointless.) Pardon us for strivin'. Damn. That's allrite, though. Mainstream would poison the message, anyway.  
So VERY well put! | |

I agree that D'Angelo is a step in the right direction as far as current music. Maybe there's nothing new that he's doing but the music is enjoyable and is real. I don't think anybody's comparing him to Prince and then again you don't have to be all over Prince's dick to know D'Angelo isn't the same talent-- he hasn't put in enough work and he can't sing. 
All of the praise and labels thrown D'Angelo's way has probably hindered him if anything. It's probably been hard for him to stretch out and grow like he's wanted to. Then again, maybe he's right where he wants to be. [This message was edited Sat May 8 9:43:19 2004 by whodknee] |

no he doesn't.. if anything, its styled around the controversy/mutiny jam of the parade tour. which itself, was modelled HEAVILY on james browns lengthy jams from around the early 70s. and prince definitely did NOT come up with the whole 'stop on the one' thing! as if he invented counting in and timing, lol.
