4. "The Miseducation of Some Okayplayers....." In response to In response to 0
WTF? D'Angelo is not gonna fall off ANYTIME in the near or far future. I'm at Jackson State University, and just yesterday I heard somebody say that Voodoo was bullshit. Again, WTF? Bottom line, Brown Sugar was a terrific debut album, I still listen to it myself. But Voodoo is a musical classic. It was made with the intent of being intricate. As you can see (or hear), not many of those songs are "radio-friendly". It was an album made for people who love music to death. It is a MUST HAVE. After buying this album and really studying it, you will view music much differently. I, for one, appreciated those feel good songs from Brown Sugar, but I love Pino's bass playing, and I almost died when I found out that Charlie Hunter played bass AND guitar AT THE SAME MUTHAFUCKIN TIME!!! I also loved the Roberta Flack cover "Feel Like Makin Love", and for those of you who wanna hear what music sounded like in the "good ol' days", listen to "Greatdayndamornin".
Seriously, this is one of THE greatest albums EVER made, and I'm basing that on the sonic aspect. I won't even start in on the man's singing (or should that be SANGIN?!).
P.S. I wonder if a certain somebody is willing to stop talking to that soul sista on the streets of 52 for just a minute to give his insight on an album he woulda called "Vicarous Fantasy".
