Y’all faves need to go on hiatus lol
HOV dropped two classics in the last 5 years hes good
“all time”
See these are the takes I respect on here. A lot of people on here suck D'Angelo off cause hes one of the pre selected artists youre supposed to like. I like his music. I think he has 3 great albums. But like you said 70s niggas were churning out music on that level every year. He only has 3 in 3 decades. He cant be a A or S tier artist
Are we talking quality level or just sound? Cause I think a lot of those artists should be plugged in or discussed to see if yall got the substance behinds those statements lol.
I'm down for a good list to play for the summer
Niggas thinking D Angelo is great because of his aura is wild. Listen to the f***ing music. Listen to his peers sing his praises
There isn’t a single black artist that would refuse and D Angelo collab album

AWT doesn’t count
D'angelo is one of the pre selected artists. And thats not me saying hes not great. Because he is.
But theres a lot of artists that are just as great if not greater than him that I never see come up on this site as much as him because they dont have that same aura of mystery to them that appeals to the hipsters
who are the other pre-selected ones?

Gonna be a classic. And I dnt even have to worry about some artist cause all they drop is quality s***.
The greatest rapper of all time died on March 9th. Dropped one album. Henry Thomas has one post-humous compilation of folk recordings. Amazing artist. Greatness is greatness. You don't need a spreadsheet to figure it out.
I never said anything contrary to that lol, but this thread is about being considered GOAT, and some people think consistency in being great also plays a part
Lmao...I can't wait for this.
And, if you really have to name some of the greatest acts of the 70's to compete with D'Angelo, that lowkey goes against his whole point.
How many modern artists can be held to that standard?
And, tbh, D'Angelo's not even glorified like that. He gets his praises sung but he's not even someone that has a big stan base on social media for example. Niggas just love his music and talent.

Who has been consistently great in rap?
D’Angelo has 1.5 good albums.
Voodoo is spectacular but Black Messiah & his other joint are pretty run of the mill for that genre & his talent group.
Nah bro I’m dead April fools was last week cmon now
also i see the focus here is only centered around what's on record. what about live performance? what about impact/influence? these are the types of things you factor in when discussing "GOATs". that's why you have to mention D'Angelos and Beyonces. they are the standard. there are plenty niggas who can make great songs, but they're not DOING IT like the greats. in every aspect.
Curtis Mayfield
Marvin
Usher
Badu
Maxwell
Whitney
Luthor
Thats just a few off the top of my head that got just as much fire if not more than D'angelo. And thats leaving off the Princes, Stevies, and R Kellys of the world
