great.. so you are saying you don't respect me since i started the post.. i don't know why i started the post. .well i do, i was reading time magazine and how they gave d'angelo best cd of the year for voodoo... and how he was bringing back marvin gaye.. then i looked at my marvin gaye collection of about 4 records and 2 cds and i thought to myself.. d'angelo has not even reached marvins level yet.. so i posted it to see what others think... so thats that.....
