2914476, Also, D'angelo doesn't make anything I consider to be terrible or wtf

As much as I think Bilal is creative and courageous, he also has songs where I'm like
"cmon son", often BECAUSE of his experimental nature. So, alotta times, it's something
I respect more than I enjoy.
D'angelo will try something new, but he won't jump off the cliff with it. He doesn't hate
tradition enough to throw it out. Whereas Bilal will tell his forefathers "fuck yo couch",
D'angelo will ghost-produce for them and perform the song himself.
In a nutshell, D'angelo doesn't try to reinvent the wheel like Bilal does, and I think that
keeps him from the WTF moments that I have with Bilal. Bilal's new wheels don't roll sometimes, for me.
