Oct 23Personally feel like Black Messiah was a perfect note to end a career on. Even if what comes is good and done in the best way possible I don't need it at all tbh.

GoldOf1000MorningsI don't know the circumstances of this release, but I definitely don't doubt a record label forced something out against the artist's wishes. Happens all the time. Black Messiah is probably my favorite album of his. I don't know what more he could have done to make it any better. In my opinion it's completely flawless and perfect. I can say the same about Brown Sugar and Voodoo too, but something about Black Messiah just really moved me in a different way. Damn, I love that album.
Agreed. Best album of the 21st century, in my opinion.

ZokkonNo not at all, my comment mainly just stems from cynicism
His kids own the vault material from what I understand. I hope they work closely with D's musical partners to make sure this project is as close to his vision as can be. It will be good to put money in the pockets of his children, and they also run a charity for pancreatic cancer research and awareness that I assume will benefit from this. Obviously I don't want to support sub-par material being released, but knowing this is going to benefit his kids does make supporting it a bit easier. I hope they handle his material with love and care.

I wouldn't argue with that.
