Oh, his 1st album is dope, no doubt
, in a BLACKEXCELLENCE spiritual way This is Soul, Funk, Gospel, Heavy Metal music
D'Angelo's sabbatical turned him into a Guitar Hero
You can hear the melanin thru the instruments
Really Love serenades mi corazon
The chorus is like a reprisal of Meth's
Make Up 2 Break Up hook
Do we even know what we're fighting for
Till It's Done's the Anthem for our Black Power revival
Betray My Heart intro makes me do the KDoT i dance
Start an album with Ain't That Easy
, and end it with Another Life
Even tho it took 1400 years
Black Messiah came thru
and Snoop Dogg the building
Had to rearrange my entire Top 10 2014 album list
I know some of you are giving this the one spin, not understanding 90% of what D is saying and coming in here like
I thought maybe it was just me but my homie hit me up like this shyt is dope but I don't get 99% of what he's saying.
I've went through multiple listens on different audio outputs and I have no idea wtf he is saying outside of a few words per song.
I think this is the highest Metacritic score I have ever seen for a brand new album with more than 10 reviews
I would say "its gonna drop as more reviews come in" but it was just at 96 with 7 reviews yesterday, so its not a stretch to say it might stay this high
"All we wanted was a chance to talk//instead we only got outlined in chalk." 
this shyt is spirit music....there is no way as a black person you can't connect to this album in some way. I lit a L and some sandalwood incense and called this chick over and we fukkin LISTENED to this shyt...no TV, no Internet...we chilled burned one and cranked this shyt... so powerful.People like this shyt?
The dude is fukking unintelligible for the entire record.
Right, Saadiq is a beast, not many are seeing him with this music shyt. His last release Stone Rollin'Good post. It's just a couple things i personally disagree with...
Instant Vintage commercial sound comment. It was experimental, gospel, neo soul, funk. Saadiq done what the hell he wanted on that album, which is why i love it so dam much. Like you said, he coined it "gospeldelic". You got to think when that album come out the type of R n B that was being dropped. A lot of people thought he would ride the wave of Toni Toni Tone but he didn't.
Also i personally don't agree with saaqiq not being as talented. Dude is the complete musician. D'Angelo's voice is butter of course, better than Saadiqs, and he can also produce and play instruments but Saadiqs on another level in that regard in my opinion. (just seen your other message saying basically the same). Saadiq is hugely respected in the industry but perhaps to the fan you are right.
I've been having these discussions since the 90's
Ultimately, I'm just blessed to have music from both these legends.
. I wish he'd do more work with Teedra Moses though
No one album should have all that BLACKEXCELLENCE POWERsomeone make a petition for D'angelo and sade to make a double album
