come on stop being naive as big of a Prince fan D'angelo is, he knew that stripping in a video or posing would get that kind of response. he was very calculating and the reaction he got scurred him off and he choked. 1)

dude please R.Kelly is Shaq to D'angelo's Stanley Roberts. one Man got 4 rings and the other guy has Ring around the collar.
R.Kelly done made better albums, songs, tours, and far more of a cultural impact than Mumblo.

Joe also got Mumblo beat. Joe is a way better artist than D'angelo as well IMO.

Keith Sweat as well.

D'angelo better hope he can make at least a record on Dwele's level. 2)

nobody is gonna lose sleep over what D'angelo does. he needs a couple of big hits and a good album and then tour. 3)
