2913292, D'Angelo seemed like a cool nigga. Bilal seems like a weirdo.

So D'Angelo had a much larger audience off the rip, his look was more accessible, hyper masculine hip-hop heads didn't feel weird listening to him etc. I mean Raphael Saadiq "Instant Vintage" didn't pop either, those guys were too eccentric & feminine for the Black audience to latch on to at the time.
Kanye kicked in the door for the Black weirdos 10 years ago, but by that time most of Bilal's buzz was gone.
