There was R&B Soul and there was whatever was mainstream when D'Angelo debuted. These artists were considered R&B Soul. Raphael Saadiq, Sade, Gil Scott-Heron, Meshelle whatever her last name is, Jamariquai, whatever R&B music Q-Tip was working on, were all before D'Angelo. Their influence far trumps his, because he wasn't even as active. if you're gonna give the title to anyone, it goes to Raphael Saadiq. Neo soul ended up being some ish they threw out there to lump all of the "outside of the mainstream" artists they could no longer figure out what to do with. And by the time it became a subgenre, it was moreso a look.

Nah D'Angelo extended upon what Shuggie Otis was doing, both D and Prince are from that tree.

Exactly,how can a nikka who drops albums every 10 years,drop greater songs at a more talented clip than someone who has about 20 albums worth of material,and its full of classic material that everybody knows and loves:mindblown:

Imagine If Kelly in his prime took 10 years to amass all his best shyt and put it on one album:wow:
Homie lost it with that "higher clip" statement.
:mjlol: at both of yall not knowing what i meant by more talented clip, quantity > quality ass breh's smh.

Rkelly to dangelo is easily interchangeable...Can you imagine d'angelo letting his hair down and throwing us a bone like his idol marvin g did and give us a modern day gotta give it up lol? Nah the boy too stubbornly methodical and stiff for that happen.

R Kelly has put his feet in the shoes of many artists from from tony thompson(da gawd) to michael jackson with ease...Kellz is a musical savant...Isn't he illiterate and known to freestyle most of those records/albums we know him for...:wow:

You cats really think he would struggle making a your my lady, how does it feel type junts lol....:russ:
:gucci: i take you have never seen D'Angelo live?

I think im done with this thread, cats in here exposing their lack of music knowledge when it comes meat and potatoes/main ingredients of what is dope. Cats in here only hip to commercial shyt:umad::camby:

No,taking quality AND quanity into account is what makes your statement sound ridiculous:mjlol:
Would you call a guy who had a couple good seasons as a shooter in the nba,a better shooter than Kobe and Jordan?does he have a more talented clip:comeon:?
R KElly's clip is unquestionable when you take 20 albums over 20 years and all of them have alot of quality and classic songs on them.



Cut it out kin:martin:

That nikka went butt-ass, for his record to sell"

Kells dropped more classic singles and classic albums from 91'-95' then dangelo has over 23 years,get this nikka out of here
Singles and commercial success doesn’t mean anything. :yeshrug::yeshrug:

Imo, Brown Sugar, Voodoo, and Black Messiah are better than any R. Kelly album including 12 Play. The vocals, instrumentation/musicianship, and lyricism are just untouchable on those 3 albums imo.
