2658109, Y'all are acting like D has no status with
Posted by 4D, Sun Feb-05-12 03:05 AM
today's indie rock/arty-R&B brigade
cats from Frank Ocean to James Blake blog-and-interview check dude and "Voodoo" on multiple occasions. (shit, even Tyler does).
The whole atmospheric nature of Voodoo y'all gripe about can be traced down to the shit that cats like them and Weeknd are doing, (yes, it can).
--and the fans/jounalists who follow all that shit aren't clueless.

Pitchfork reported on "the influential and elusive R&B singer" D'Angelo's tour the day after it kicked off
and then AGAIN later when he did that "remarkably faithful acoustic cover" of Bowie and the "stunning solo version" of Untitled. (their words.)
And that was before and after beloved indie and electro cats like Jamie Lidell and A-Trak were Twitter-sweating the whole thing.

People act like he missed his boat by not putting out however much material he "could have"
Which, I mean, sure, I guess he "could have" done whatever...
But in what would seem to be contrary to OKP belief, what he *did* drop was of notable influence.
No shit ol boy isn't 24 and singing over 808 post-witch-dubstep-garage and whatnot, but in general, he'll be straight.

...And that being said, don't stretch yourself too thin on all that guitar shit, D.
