53. "So D'angelo can enjoy the myth - but not be responsible for it?" In response to In response to 52 Wed May-23-12 10:38 AM by Artful Dodger
Whether you think I'm hating or not isn't relevant.
Bottom line this is D'angelo's fault. Why?
If this were one comment - then it's on Quest... this is over 15 years of fake lies and an article to boot.
So GQ can call him a black rock God, Quest can say he's Zappa... they can do a guitar video - but I'm not supposed to comment on his Pee Wee Herman guitar chops?
i'm not suppossed to say it's wack? Then don't sell me the bullshit. Led Zep are rock gods becaues they delivered again and again and again. No excuses. This hand holding shit is silly.
I have to be a guitar player to do that? Do I have to be a rapper to know Lil Wayne is some bullshit? I mean under this logic I would literally have to learn how to start rhyming to be able to comment on Soulja Boy?
C'mon fam. This is D'angelo's fault for not putting correction to it and you know why? Cause he wants those titles his damn self.
15 years of bullshit image building and nonsensical comparisons?
Listen what makes Eddie Van Halen, Prince, Steve Vai's legacy so real?
They didn't walk in the door with it or with the endorsments of everyone under the sun - they delivered. They showed and proved.
I have never heard or read an excuse from any of the greats as to why they didn't deliver.
Like AFKAP said - there are far better musicians playing every night for nothing.
D'angelo has now allowed GQ and Quest to keep the myth alive. Who's fault is it if it isn't his? *shrugs*
Not to mention it's Zappa this time, before that Eddie Hazel, before that Prince. All comedy. I mean enough already, just get down and do your thing. This Charade is turning people way off. Especially when you know better.
