I haven't heard quite a few of those. In fact, I don't know who did the last 3 albums. But I get what ?uest is describing here.. it seems like a rawer-DIY-guitars aesthetic, with alot of soul.  1969-tony williams-emergency 1970-tony williams-ego 1972-miles davis-one the corner don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine

CookieMonster said: Anxiety said: i want d'angelo to make an album that sounds a little like deee-lite's "dewdrops in the garden" crossed with prince's "come" album, with a bit of blur's "the great escape" and sonic youth's "goo" album mixed in, and if he could toss in some elements of "ziggy stardust", "age of consent", "big science" and "i got them kosmic blues again mama", that would be great, thanks.
I just want him to sound like D'Angelo...his previous album had moments of his genius, hidden amongst the clouds of smoke bollowing from his recording studio. Some people should not have too many recording options. Just play, mf. what was that "irony" thing that novabreaker was talking about?  | |

That was pretty obvious judging from that clip of D at the Raphael Saadiq show (http://www.pookierecords.com/videos.html) And speaking of Ray, I just want to know if he's gonna be on the album or not. | |

got leaked on okayplayer--check the post "oh my fucking gawd (part 3)" on the okayartist board. or visit soulseek. the following songs have been leaked: "joe texan", "funky drummer" and "pete rock". (i recommend all funkateers to go and check 'm out!) don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine

CookieMonster said: funkymf said: Sounds like you're smokin too, callin 'Voodoo' "lame-ass" 
You must be tripping. You should invite funk into your life as you are obviously running low on it !! Hahaha! You call THAT funk? Have you seen his live show? That was funk. The album just drizzled. Yeah that his live show was hot!  The things he did with those grooves! 
Hey gooey why do have such a hatred for weed smokers? 
Btw if you took a couple of puffs off of that good shit they have in the shops in your native city, Voodoo would sound so much better, trust me. | |

questlove responded: "me me me, here the deal 11 songs are done. most need lyrics. most are in the 7-9 minute range all are epic as fuck. imo--most need a haircut. shit i love but shit i know the marketplace aint even ready for. if "untitled" video is what got him over on the idiot side of things he is gonna have to get his physical game back and come with some strong ass imagaining to make up for the fact that there WILL be no radio friendly single-- newbies im warning you now.....if you want to "understand" this record--you MUST purchase and study the following: -funkadelic -maggot brain -america eats its young -cosmic slop -standing on the verge of getting it on -let's take it to the stage -tales of kidd funkadelic -there's a riot going on -on the corner -inspiration information -smile -abbey road -revolver -electric ladyland -nevermind the bullocks here comes the sex pistols -dirty mind -on the corner -ego -tony willaims emergency study and absorb and research this shit now. memorize it. understand why the albums i mentioned were important in their historical context. lower your expectations. this WILL throw you for a loop." i guess it's save to say this is a release to look forward to. questlove's response only adds to the excitement. but i guess it'll take some time before the release of this record. Shit, if I gotta buy Miles's "On the Corner" TWICE to even enjoy D's new shit, then forget it! Man, you made me choke on my veggie pattie. | |

CookieMonster said: CookieMonster said: I-can't-make-up-what-kinda-album-I-wanna-make D'Angelo? Him?
I remember people raving about his previous album.....THREE years before it came out.....lame-assed album that was all over the place except hitting the G-Spot his first album touched upon. If he can lay off the smokez it actually might have substance this time. But Hey Gooey! That album was deep, man! It was deep! Yadayadayada. You won't get any argument from me on this one. I thought Doodoo was awful and its one of the resons I started to hate neo-soul. I could care less about D and that stupid quote from ?uestlove. Many artists have been inspired by that list of albums, but delivered the goods instead of just trying to copy and paste. I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

He's an artist. He wants to do different things. But lets make one thing clear, anything D does will be deeply soulful. |
