Lord, where to start-Kurt Cobain, Prince, D'Angelo-not in that order. There are few others, but for the life of me, I can't think of them "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

You know, if you judge him by the work he did on Sons of Soul and House of Music, I'd say that Saadiq was one of the best R&B songwriters of all time.
But his solo work is spotty: Instant Vintage was mangled and devoid of anything substantial and Ray Ray was devoid of any real artistic merit. The Way I See It and Stone Rollin' are quite good. And then I remember that he co-wrote and produced two of the biggest soul/R&B records of my life time: Bilal's "Soul Sista" and D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel?)."
But I agree with you - I should've added him on my list. | |

For ME, Jam & Lewis! Always have been, always will be. They're so versatile and so talented. Love my Flyte Tyme brothas! Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up. | |
