I know the audience didn't know what to do. Voodoo was not an album for the faint at heart. D'Angelo knew what he was doing. He knew that the audience would not understand but he stuck it out because he had a message to get out. I respect him for that. To be such a young guy at the time, he was so much more mature with his music and the writing of it. Kind of like Tupac. Wise beyond his years. Poetic with his words.

D'Angelo breaks it down in this song. All the profusion of illusions that is popular culture today. If you look at it, it breaks a lot of artists down. Walking the line of participating in the illusion and still trying to maintain a sense of integrity, a sense of self. I am looking forward to the day when all r&b and hip-hop performers can be themselves all the time, instead of the illusions the industry and and their brainwashed by the industry fans expect them to be.

This performance is such an important cultural document. It is a perfect example of the greatness of youtube, and why it should not be completely subject to the rules of intellectual property. D still sings Devil's Pie in concert (I went to a show last year), but it doesn't have the same wallop. The 15% who aren't deaf and blind need to see this video, to inspire them not to mimic the 85% who are.

The worst thing D'Angelo ever did to his career was taking his shirt off. The best thing D'Angelo ever did for his career was taking his shirt off. Too bad it took *that* to establish him as a star in the mainstream since it overshadowed his art for a huge portion of his audience. Love, love, D'Angelo's music. If only more performers in the black community would become true artists and drop the same boring rap/trap/hip-hop/whatever it's called this week and try making something real.

But the whole conversation about race and music is hilarious. It's always been a blend, from the time some French guy invented ragtime, Scott Joplin's parents took him to a German piano teacher, Elvis, Beatles, Stones and Led Zep covered black soul and blues songs, Jimi copped a Jeff Beck lick, Sly used white drummers, rock groups in the 70s used black bass players.

@Daniel G Typical palm-colored person. You insinuated that Jimi built his style on Jeff Beck, another palm-colored Black music vulture-pirate. Are you high? I don't have time to have side-arguments about "NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE...." with every pink person. Put your precious individualism aside for a minute and try to understand the larger point. It's understood that most things are not absolute; why do we have to do asides to state the obvious? Generalities exist and as long as we acknowledge this fact has consequences across a range of potencies and effects, let's deal with the forest and not the trees. I can't with white people sometimes, man. It's exhausting.What does Sly having white drummers prove? Or rock bands having African bassists? How about explaining why Stones bassist Darryl Jones still gets racist harassment...while playing in another vulture-pirate band whose whole oeuvre and wealth is built on Black pain and the music that that pain gave birth to. White privilege saw to it that they've never had to sing the blues on the way to the bank. That goes for every vulture-pirate pink poseur artist. That kumbaya shit you're pushing rings hollow when those facts are weighed in the measure.
