If Bilal came out before D'Angelo, their roles would be reversed.

It's not fair, but that's how it works in music.

Also, Bilal's debut was enjoyed by me and others, but generally got a mixed reception. I think if he went the all-Soulquarians route he would have been better off than going part-Dre, part-Soulquarians.

Also, D plays more instruments than Bilal and is looked at as a musical genius moreso, partially for that very reason.

Peace,
