^most sensible thing i've read all night.

suggesting that jermaine dupri and dre are d'angelo's last chances at salvation is a little absurd. furthermore--and i'm tryin to bite my tongue--i can't quite figure out how you can casually wave off voodoo as a musical meandering that showcases D's "weaknesses" through a fault of quest's overwhelming presence on the record... or what-the-hell-ever it was you said.

listen to "the root", really listen and live inside it for a handful of minutes, and if it doesn't move you, there ain't shit inside to move.
