Yeah, now that's what I'm talking about. I miss that. Oh hell, I guess I'll just go on and say it... I miss him. Stop "cooking" and drop it already.

We all do. Ten years is an eternity. I just hope he's alright enough to release one. I mean yeah take all the time you want, just come out with it before something happens. Life's short.

It just seems like "needing to be accepted" (by fans and bigwigs alike) in the Music industry puts so much emotional stress and strain on an artist. I would wager that probably 90% if not more of the artists and actors out here have had either nervous / emotional breakdowns, or some sort of serious problems with substance abuse.

The stress to be accepted and to be liked is just far to great. Any real artists put's their entire being into their craft and to have that being either rejected or some how "re-shuffled" by the powers that be has got to be enormously stressful. In addition the very nature of most artists is that they are not able to "go with the grain" they tend to be trailblazers, and for them to sit and take orders on "how it's supposed to be" just doesn't cut it with most of them.

I actually have a degree of sympathy for most of them. Although I do envy their talent.

Talking is for the birds

Sly Stone has a better chance for crawling back from the cave he lives in, reunite with the Family Stone for an album and a full tour while this mofo still fuck around talking about "I'm cookin' up something real nice". Negro, HUSH and just do it already

I agree It's funny how some artists always say that they are "working on a new album" and yet,it never seems to materialize.Does it really take over 10 years to record 13 songs and release it on a CD? I've heard of "writer's block" but this is ridiculous,lol.It might be a good idea for these artists to keep their mouths shut until the CD is finished and ready to be released.

Suge Knight is a robot from the future that was sent out to kill people like Pac and Biggie...I can definitely see why Dre is scared for his life.

I hate all the bullshit about the recordlable holding back on releasing his stuff

cuz they feel it won't fit the market.

If that so,then D'angelo is simply on the wrong lable.

He could even just release it by himself and it would be a hit.

He's got enough hardcorefans and I'm positive that the album would sell

better if just D'angelo is allowed just to do his thing rather than trying to fit

the bland,watered-down bling RnB market.

I’m Cookin’ Up Somethin’ Real Nice

...and then I'm smokin' it!

Now before I begin, know that I loved his first album, and raved about voodoo... and still think that album is amazing.

but this fckr is nuts... now we can't ask him about the music, wtf! I don't care if he is fng fat as dick gregory... I want music.

He went to the prince school of mystique and weird one liners..... and hate that.

Is he going to write SLAVE on his face and complain about getting free and releasing these albums.

put up of shut up time for him...

Questlove is a cool dude, but he needs to smack some sense into this guy.
