Several month’s before Black Messiah’s release, there was a 2-man show… Questlove, and D’Angelo. I had no idea how this was gonna work, but it was outstanding! I recorded a then unknown song, which became “Really Love”. RIP D’Angelo

My colleague Sheldon Pearce's obituary for D'Angelo www.npr.org/2025/10/14/n...

D'Angelo, R&B's reluctant icon, has died at 51

The expressive singer made just three albums, including his 1995 debut, Brown Sugar, but retreated from the public after each. He had been battling cancer, according to a statement from his family.

3 classic albums. No skips. Love songs. Liberation songs. Sensual songs. Fun songs. Black ass music. 51 is too young. D'Angelo can't be gone.

Maybe putting Rob Dyrdek on the channel 20 hours a day wasn’t the best call to make.

Not playing videos was certainly a bad decision too.

MTV to shut down music channels after 40 years. This is all of the remaining channels in the UK and overseas.

I enjoyed the Mobb Deep album. Good work for a posthumous album.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.
