i'm going to say it period if Usher, D'angelo, Chris Brown, Beyonce, ALicia Keys,Mary J Bliege
or the vets dropped that album it would be heralded as all of that period.

the stigma and old Hate is the main reasons.

the brother is a Musical Genius and can't be faded.

12 play and the self title album in the 90's

chocolate factory and happy people in the 00's plus a classic bootleg in loveland to boot no pun itended

then you get love letter and and the irony of irony is that Love letter and writer be back were suppose to be double sets.

if you have ever experienced a break up,divorce then this is the coolest yet direct album i can relate to.

i related so well to this album.

number one hit and that urgency, can't get enough, radio message, just like that with that strong bass groove.

i wore this album out and still do.

he is the best of the past, the best of the present and he is very much in the now and this album reps like that
