You should join in there sometime, man.

i don't even care if he's in performance shape.
i'll take a new studio album

If I had a nickel everytime that sentence has been on OKP.

What the blood claaat ???

someone.

Just sticking my head in.

friends have been instructed to tweet every 6 months or so about something mindblowing they have done with him just to keep the myth alive.

stand up & verify cryptically.

I only left the G a month ago...I'll go back for anything D related (I'm less than 3 hrs away)

or has made moving there their life's goal...lol.

But I know where a bunch of that collection is stored so I can raid an AMAZING BASEMENT!

Missing Link closed?????

I have one great memory of that spot... I took 15 there the day after the Roots played The Vogue in '01. Called Dilla from the store saying how much he needed to come down and check it out. The basement hadn't opened up yet, but he snuck down there and looked around for like 5 minutes.

Ended up buying 5 or 6 boxes of records.

Fast forward 8 months later, i get a voicemail from 15...

"Hahahaha... I just gave Missing Link a colonic. I CLEANED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT STORE!!!!"

again fast forward a few months later, i get an email from Ben Kenney (who had just joined Incubus at that point) asking me for the address for the store.

later on ?uesto tells me that store was responsible for some of the crazier moments on "Electric Circus."

You know how many times we've heard things like this in the last 5-10 years?

I think?

But why hype something up before it drops? I mean I don't understand why you'd do this with any artist but with someone as inactive as D has been I fail to see the upside in this. It's just giving the anti-D crowd a head start... either it never comes out or it does and can't possibly live up to the hype.... it's just a likely fail either way.

That's a guarantee.

I don't understand why one woule hype a project like that.
But I have the feeling that they don't have the choice.
Nobody cares about dude anymore so they have to keep the hope alive for his last few fans ...

whether it be quest, q tip, pino, poyser, whoever, and says 'guys! someone tweet about me... i need some attention to know people still care' and waits for 10 or so posters to make a thread on okp while sitting in his gown with a cigarette in one hand and a bowl of fruity loops in the other trying to remember that time he quoted an adlib from a prince bootleg tape that one night on the voodoo tour... good times....

for all we know q tip might have been tweeting about having just played dangelo on some playstation game. which in fact seems more likely than them being in the studio together.

You are on a roll of late, man.

Big ups to BB for this post. D'Angelo unfortunately is such a touchy subject here because of expectations and constant hearsay over his long-in-the-making album. For the real D'Angelo heads, we know he's gonna bring it..without question. Though it's probably best not to keep this a constant discussion until we hear from the man himself because all it does is draw skepticism and "whatever else" from a lot of people here on these boards. Even when he does finally drop, a lot of cats are gonna hate and criticize..(like they're known to do here). But all the real heads are gonna rejoice (God-willing) once the new project finally comes into fruition. As long as we keep putting that positive energy out there into the universe for Brother Michael Archer to bring it, he's definitely gonna bring it.

Thanks again to BB for this post. :-)

but well done for keeping the faith

ok i will stop posting in this thread now lol

'I love to watch him dance. It's almost like watching a cat clean itself or something.'(c) Drugs regarding Prince

fixed.

q-tip said the record was done and ready 2 frigging years ago
quest supposedly was to drum the record last year
same applies to pino, russ and the rest of the cronies

the problem with these idi...folks is the reason why d is where he is at now
the same folks that placed him on this pedestal will do it again
what they need to be doing is making sure that his well being is all right and not make the same mistake TWICE
cuz if dude falls off the wagon AGAIN, its not on us, it will be on them

Let it go with the Prince thing please...the ship has sailed
if u recall, dude (prince) silenced muggs with a record that was made in weeks not years....remember that.
That's GENIUS

the remix was a little better than the original...but still garbage

u didnt like The Rainbow Children bro?

musically, that shit is killing from beginning to end.

and tip and d did a track together
then i hope it won't be 'ghetto music'
cause the version i heard doesn't go ANYwhere...

http://soundcloud.com/r-apha-el/dangelo-ghetto-music-ft-q-tip

>cause the version i heard doesn't go ANYwhere...

*pyoon*

>
>>cause the version i heard doesn't go ANYwhere...

>*pyoon*

haha true, but this seems like actual looping of samples AND the vocals are far from interesting which i can't say of most of the stuff on 'voodoo'. also, the lyrics -when audible- are kind of silly, where i'd say at least they tried harder for 'voodoo'...

that said, this is just a demo and we shouldn't judge it as a finished track. i just don't think there's a whole lot in there that could turn it into a proper song... or should i say "jam"?

Last time I invited you to discourse in detail about my view of D'Angelo's shortcomings... you declined. You said you were done discussing this.

Yet here you are again, hanging off my asshair.

you're just funny dude....

can't wait till D's album comes out to see you overdose on haterade on these boards.....lol.

it will be epic.

d'angelo threads if you dislike him so much?

why do you go into a thread with a video of d'angelos voodoo tour show if you dont like his live show?

Does that answer your question?

nm

It's okay... I dedicate a song to you http://youtu.be/S2N_uvnvGbI

I really dont want to hear Q-Tip on a D'Angelo album. Or any other rapper for that matter.

Nicolay

http://www.theforeignexchangemusic.com

but i agree with you otherwise

but if he is just producing that is fine by me.

i WOULD allow him to do vocal percussion though, buried in the mix.

That was the song that had me checkin for Voodoo in the first place.

Including Meth & Red was very ill-advised... but without them the song is pretty boring, so you can't win.

I used to skip the first 4 tracks and start the album at "Send It On"

>I used to skip the first 4 tracks and start the album at "Send
>It On"

You're not alone there. It almost made it feel like a pretty good album at times.

No love for that cut whatsoever.

Nicolay

http://www.theforeignexchangemusic.com

Wasn't meant as a slight. That's just the first thing I think about when I think of Q-Tip. And there's definitely no need for him to be SINGING on a D'Angelo record. Once again, no slight.

And even production wise I don't think I see where that would go.

Nicolay

http://www.theforeignexchangemusic.com

with full on vox from D instead of just a hook
it would work well if Tip would lean more towards D's style than his own, if it makes sense

for a man with a solid reputation, around these parts, you're soundin' really bitchmade. q-tip can produce a track, r&b or hiphop...

>for a man with a solid reputation, around these parts, you're
>soundin' really bitchmade. q-tip can produce a track, r&b or

Shut the fuck up and keep it moving, newbie. Either discuss this shit seriously or shut your hoe ass up.

Count on a fucking newbie to take it there.

Nicolay

a yes, you look at my post count and assume!?!...lmao...dude i could ring your neck in a hot minute before your dutch royalty ever take notice.

know who you're talking to before you start making threats

Newbie you couldn't do SHIT.

with me if it happened. nowhere near as jarring as red & meth.

http://twitter.com/#!/questlove/status/101942309632999424

if we'll see this shit is another matter.

Personally, I think its very irresponsible of quest to tweet stuff like this considering how much he knows about the fans.

https://twitter.com/#!/questlove/status/106947022199848961
"Did I mention I'm really a fan of this 9 year in the making Dangelo record?"

me: https://twitter.com/#!/betrott/status/106949351435276288
"did '1000 deaths' make the cut?"

https://twitter.com/#!/questlove/status/106949978236264448
"we redid it last week. #wow"

can't help to get a little excited.

did he tell you if it's still called 'james river'?

curious about that...

i like the muffled dirty quality of the "demo" that was leaked.

What the blood claaat ???

Anyone have the complete transcript of this interview?

At one point someone from the crowd asks if D'Angelo will ever release any new music. Quest explains D's slowly but surely working on the follow up to 'Voodoo', being 'James River'. He shares some album insights:

- Why the album is named 'James River'.
- Mentions D plays guitar as good as he sings.
- Shares why Lead Belly as an influence.
- Says D wants his own 'Abbey Road' medley.

Would be cool to read this transcript again. This is the one I found online and is not complete:

http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/video-archive/transcript/uestlove__phrenology_of_hip_hop/transcript

Still an interesting read nonetheless.
