I don't know if D'Angelo would be as captivating & get r&b's music undivided attention ever again, like he had in his golden years.

D'Angelo's misgivings, painted him like a spoiled brat seeking attention, with his antics from 2002-2006. We not going to not recall these things when he reappears, it's still etched into our minds how fragile d'angelo can be.

In a lot of ways D'Angelo serves as a template to CJ, as to how fast & far you can spiral downward and loose touch with reality.

Whether or not CJ is relegated to being another 'Dwele' or 'Eric Roberson' remains to be seen.

Having Saadiq's backing certainly shouldn't work against him, as Saadiq more than likely helped him secure his deal with a Major.
