why does d'angelo constantly get over looked?

[⠀X ⠀]

He’s a legend. He doesn’t need to make a new album. He could just put out the tracks that never made the first 2 albums.

this is my shyt

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

can you imagine an album with him and anthony hamilton

He got his start singing backup for D'angelo.

EDIT: just saw someone else posted this.

IMO he is Top 5, easily one of my GOAT's, only 3 albums but timeless music. Still haven't heard much that can compete with Brown Sugar or Voodoo and I am an r&b/soul head. The replay value is off the charts on both of them, Black Messiah took a minute to grow on me due to his drowned out vocals (Angie Stone spoke on this). I'm older, 44, so those in my age bracket and bit younger know what an incredible artist D'Angelo is as we were around when Brown Sugar debuted. Voodoo was on a another level, period.

I still play his albums like they recently dropped, recently picked up the Brown Sugar Deluxe (2CD) version even though I have the original cd. Hopefully they make a deluxe for Voodoo with outtakes, acoustics, and remixes. I can remember seeing H.E.R. in concert, after the concert I spoke with her about D'Angelo, she said he and Prince are her idols, and she is a huge mainstream artist of this generation.

D'angelo really wasn't an extroverted charismatic guy, but he was just fortunate enough to have women view him as a sex symbol.

At some point he got tired of women telling him to take his shirt & sing how does it feel so he left.

We live in a what have you done for me now society, so if you're out of sight you're outta mind.

Probably pissed off some important people when he left the industry abruptly

 

[I love Latina women]

It's because of the time between his albums

Dude only has 3 albums and he's been in the game since 1995

 

[KingsOfKings]

 

[Conan]

The best RnB album this century.

 

[Street Knowledge]

He always said he was uncomfortable with the idea of being a sex symbol after the how does it feel video

 

[DonB90]

Overlooked by who? Hipster cacs who work for rolling stone?

 

[Loken]

he killed that shyt for prince

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

my nikka @NatiboyB in here arguing avant over d'angelo...what in tupac's tube socks are you smokin

 

[feelosofer]

He isn't overlooked at all. Many consider him the pre eminent artist of his generation.

Atlanta just did an episode referencing him.
