>But I know where a bunch of that collection is stored so I >can raid an AMAZING BASEMENT!
Missing Link closed?????
I have one great memory of that spot... I took 15 there the day after the Roots played The Vogue in '01. Called Dilla from the store saying how much he needed to come down and check it out. The basement hadn't opened up yet, but he snuck down there and looked around for like 5 minutes.
Ended up buying 5 or 6 boxes of records.
Fast forward 8 months later, i get a voicemail from 15...
"Hahahaha... I just gave Missing Link a colonic. I CLEANED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT STORE!!!!"
again fast forward a few months later, i get an email from Ben Kenney (who had just joined Incubus at that point) asking me for the address for the store.
later on ?uesto tells me that store was responsible for some of the crazier moments on "Electric Circus."

But why hype something up before it drops? I mean I don't understand why you'd do this with any artist but with someone as inactive as D has been I fail to see the upside in this. It's just giving the anti-D crowd a head start... either it never comes out or it does and can't possibly live up to the hype.... it's just a likely fail either way. _________________________________ Reunion Radio Podcasts Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

I don't understand why one woule hype a project like that. But I have the feeling that they don't have the choice. Nobody cares about dude anymore so they have to keep the hope alive for his last few fans ...

whether it be quest, q tip, pino, poyser, whoever, and says 'guys! someone tweet about me... i need some attention to know people still care' and waits for 10 or so posters to make a thread on okp while sitting in his gown with a cigarette in one hand and a bowl of fruity loops in the other trying to remember that time he quoted an adlib from a prince bootleg tape that one night on the voodoo tour... good times....
for all we know q tip might have been tweeting about having just played dangelo on some playstation game. which in fact seems more likely than them being in the studio together.

Big ups to BB for this post. D'Angelo unfortunately is such a touchy subject here because of expectations and constant hearsay over his long-in-the-making album. For the real D'Angelo heads, we know he's gonna bring it..without question. Though it's probably best not to keep this a constant discussion until we hear from the man himself because all it does is draw skepticism and "whatever else" from a lot of people here on these boards. Even when he does finally drop, a lot of cats are gonna hate and criticize..(like they're known to do here). But all the real heads are gonna rejoice (God-willing) once the new project finally comes into fruition. As long as we keep putting that positive energy out there into the universe for Brother Michael Archer to bring it, he's definitely gonna bring it.

q-tip said the record was done and ready 2 frigging years ago quest supposedly was to drum the record last year same applies to pino, russ and the rest of the cronies
the problem with these idi...folks is the reason why d is where he is at now the same folks that placed him on this pedestal will do it again what they need to be doing is making sure that his well being is all right and not make the same mistake TWICE cuz if dude falls off the wagon AGAIN, its not on us, it will be on them
Let it go with the Prince thing please...the ship has sailed if u recall, dude (prince) silenced muggs with a record that was made in weeks not years....remember that. That's GENIUS

D'Angelo himself.

> >>cause the version i heard doesn't go ANYwhere... > >*pyoon*
haha true, but this seems like actual looping of samples AND the vocals are far from interesting which i can't say of most of the stuff on 'voodoo'. also, the lyrics -when audible- are kind of silly, where i'd say at least they tried harder for 'voodoo'...
that said, this is just a demo and we shouldn't judge it as a finished track. i just don't think there's a whole lot in there that could turn it into a proper song... or should i say "jam"?

Wasn't meant as a slight. That's just the first thing I think about when I think of Q-Tip. And there's definitely no need for him to be SINGING on a D'Angelo record. Once again, no slight.
And even production wise I don't think I see where that would go.
78. "I see where a Tip production with D would go" In response to Reply # 73
with full on vox from D instead of just a hook it would work well if Tip would lean more towards D's style than his own, if it makes sense

94. "Quest's RBMA interview from 2006" In response to Reply # 0
Anyone have the complete transcript of this interview?
At one point someone from the crowd asks if D'Angelo will ever release any new music. Quest explains D's slowly but surely working on the follow up to 'Voodoo', being 'James River'. He shares some album insights:
- Why the album is named 'James River'. - Mentions D plays guitar as good as he sings. - Shares why Lead Belly as an influence. - Says D wants his own 'Abbey Road' medley.
Would be cool to read this transcript again. This is the one I found online and is not complete:
