PADYBUBtw the whole tape wasn't intended for D'Angelo and Lauryn
It's just one track that was one of four choices they had for that D'Angelo & Lauryn Hill collab but she never showed up. They did the Feel Like Makin Love cover instead
Ms Lauryn Hill? Not showing up!?

Yeah, everyone was in shock. Very unlike her to be annoying

EverythingHe was really the greatest. It's impossible to overstate his achievements.
If there's no afterlife I hope he knew how much his efforts affected people. A guy who said he was about the music over everything and actually meant it 100% of the way. So authentic. His music was so powerful, man. How did he always move so cool? Even when he came back looking a lot older and far removed from the peak of his swag, how was he still the smoothest guy? Movie s***.
You listen to his albums and there's parts of it that are impossible to understand. Not verbally, but at a human level. How did he put that sound to paper? How did he bring that out of himself for the rest to hear? How did he make us understand? He's all the artist myths rolled into one, except the stories were real. This guy was a kid when he made Brown Sugar... composed most of it by his own. He was a child doing that. It's the kind of s*** that really makes you believe in reincarnation for a minute. You watch his live performances from that era and you start to wonder... no way is this guy 20-21. And 30 years later you start to wonder if he was just scratching the surface. It's hard to believe... until you hear Sugah Daddy.
Man, his journey is over now. He left a lot of people behind though. I hope that they will eventually be doing alright. We're just his fans. I mean, we didn't know him. We just waited on him. But when a guy's art wedges its way into your brain so thoroughly it splinters the veil a bit.
It doesn't even feel right to say RIP. I hope his contributions live forever.
Perfectly said

Also if you are fan of John Mayer, you can tell what influence this record has had on his own (earlier) style.

Been about this topic for years but d’angelo’s passing really REALLY emphasizes the need of gatekeeping in black music.
The cacs are already bringing out their tributes and I hate it hate it HAAAAATE it yo.

Damn s*** gets sadder and sadder 💔
He never was comfortable being a s***symbol, but also he didn’t like people seeing him on his heavier side, so he was always really conflicted."

Little funny story about Madonna and D’Angelo from Questlove back in the day
“no personal stories for they have been industry events. but i can type as an observer on some vicarious sh!t.....
we stopped voodoo sessions early one so D could sing happy birthday (he wound up doing half hour worth of songs....she melted on "knocks me off my feet") plain and simple she was gonna give him the ass....
my man d.
i was like "why are we back in this studio?...you know and i know where you should be right now:....
he was like "dog i aint no one's puppet. she fµcked with tupac for a month to get some cred and when she got what she wanted she was out....and aint letting no woman puppetize me for her gain.....sides....i aint trying to run the wrath of 2 million black women just cause that's famous p****.....plus she aint got no ass...."

gained so much respect for D'Angelo when this story was told in his comeback interview.
Some niggas really are just too real for this planet.

this s*** has me heartbroken fr even now. d'angelo is like top 3 favorite artists of all time for me, probably top 2. every time i had a chance to see him in concert something happened which pulled me away from it. i truly think he is one of the greatest musicians oat

Crazy she was still in that prime too
Oct 17, 2025I’m still in denial. I know God makes no mistakes, but why D’Angelo? :(
