As for that tired "Prince-biter" tag, you know you read that in a magazine. Aside from "Untitled", a cover of "Always In My Hair" and arguably "Send It On" how many songs can you list of D's that show a major Prince influence? Of course he'll of sucked up quirks from all his idols but I'm saying... Hell his whole last tour bit Prince! 4 words: Sign Of The Times. Anyone that those shows know what i'm talking about.

You mean the coming out in cloaks thing at the start but that isn't really a Prince original, believe he took it from GCS. The show itself was more James Brown IMO, long jams, horns, Funkadelic cover, Ohio Players cover... an old school funk review. | |

Of course he'll of sucked up quirks from all his idols but I'm saying... Naw,,,that ain't what I'm talking about. Its alright 2 be "influenced" by the brutha when it comes 2 yo music. Hell, I'd rather 2 hear someone pay a fine tribute 2 Prince but FOOLISHLY TRY HARD 2 act like him?? Thats a bit sad. I mean I anderstand being very "in love" with your Idol's persona and I can expect someppl(fools) 2 act like their idols but don't they get tired at some point?? Hell, I know I would. Your saying he's trying to act like P because of the no tape in interviews thing? It may be influenced by Prince maybe not... what else? As for the "all about the image" thing that's only come from his naked Untitled video which is both a blessing and curse admittedly. The cat lives and breathes for his music. Your right that sadly during the lengthy breaks he takes between albums, the music world slots a a pale immitation like Musiq into his place as if he's even on the same level. D and ?uest ain't cool anymore, his partner in crime is Raphael Saadiq moreso now. The Soulquarian vibe ain't the be all and end all to his music, "Brown Sugar" was done without them. As I believe, they don't have beef. They just grew on different types of approachs thats all. I think that artist grow musicaly. Plus, I read is couple of articles that they're "cool" It ain't that deep. Nah they're done, ?uest said as much in Vibe magazine. Apparently D jerked The Roots around in failing to turn up to do the guest vocal on "Break You Off". Alludes to it in Phrenology's liner notes, apparently Musiq was their eleventh (or something similar) choice on that joint. LOL well, thats their lose only. I don't think that D lost anything that much. And wassup with Musiq? Is it me or is he replacing D on every event he miss?? I heard many rumors about D'Angelo being a guest artist in ONA Live but instead it Musiq. Now the same thang with the roots. Could it be a non-direct aim at D'Angelo?? I mean I ain't try to put the brutha down but Musiq is totaly avarage ya know?? He's just another cat from Philly pulling the same Philly soul shit and that it ain't deep. He's kinda overrated if you ask me and I won't be supriced if there're ppl backing him up(I'm sure there're). I don't hate him,,,matta o' fact I respect him 4 his work. Plus, the butha got alot of love and respect 4 his sistas and you could sense it in his music. Adding 2 that he's a positive cat who's not pulling a thug ass image 2 sell which is good. What I'm saying is, Musiq is too fast 4 his own good and that may hurt him. Beside,,there're betta cats than him who needs more attintion than him and D'Angelo is one of them. mistermaxxx | |

And really now, we all know where D got that from. I like D and am even happier to hear he broke loose from that cult lol but we have to admit he is on prince's tip a little too much at times.

Dangelo aint proved shit.
His third album will be the album that decides if he is just another Shuggie Otis. His live show was ok, I mean he mumbles half of the time. [This message was edited Tue Feb 11 17:27:39 PST 2003 by XLBubba] | |

That's the truth. Ruth. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I agree...D's no fake, but he only had his own style with the first CD...after that he was a biter. Needs to go away and get back to his own style. | |

pro shot I have the Sweeden one too..but Brixton is the top dog. In addition to Brixton I have a soundboard one from Norway and Detroit 2CD, the later is only worth the bother for hardcore followers. To sum up the Brown Sugar years the full London Jazz Cafe show is the one. Sounds like I need to get Sweden though... | |

To me, the key thing is how D'angelo will evolve. I submit that if he stands to close to the Marvin Gaye/Prince vein of things, then he will be looked at as a clone...nothing more.
However, you have those artists{a lot of them actually}that "mirror" their inflences and then go on to develop their own individual voices{you can throw LIL MAN in that group..if you will}. So in that regard, it will be interesting to see how the next few albums and/or next few years will play out for D'angelo. He's a talented brother. I still trip at how brillant his debut album Brown Sugar was. | |

man, d'angelo is a great singer/songwriter/musician; that's what counts. dude has given us inspiring albums and the most electrifying liveshow of 2000; no doubt about it. now he's working on his third album. it's a long wait, but it'll probably be worth it. and if the music is good y'all will buy it, regardless of the fact that you're maybe pissed about the long wait.
only thing i'm worried about are the latest reports; d' supposedly left the soulquarians to work (solely) with saadiq to create another 'brown sugar'. this at the instance of his management/recordlabel; 'voodoo' didn't produce enough hits in their eyes. this means that d' might not carry on in the direction he took with 'voodoo'; the more experimental and dirty soul and funk. this also means that a many fan's dream of a guitar-based d'angelo album might never see the light of day..

purple music does the same to my brain i'm high, so high | |
