Quest hasn't posted anything yet, I can only imagine this death is hitting him as hard as it did when Dilla passed.

I legit give away liquor all the time...I gave a friend of mine a bottle of Hibiki the other day, that's like a $95 bottle. And I gave one of my leads a bottle of 1738 for his birthday.

I wasn't a Charter Member, I didn't get on OKP until like 04...I think the RE was in Detroit that year.

Anybody who was on OKP during that era was a Charter Member.

After rewatching that doc, I'm surprised D didn't do some kind of Gospel project, dude was always singing church songs backstage.

I finally found the lost D'Angelo documentary on YouTube...I forgot how Gold this is, its so much backstage/behind the scenes footage of D. I saw it back in 2019 when it was in theaters for a split second.

Black Men, make your doctor's appointments man...especially when you're over 40. Don't wait until you feel like shit to go, it might be too late. I go at least every 6 months now.

D'Angelo was The North Star for a lot of artists man...he showed a whole generation what way to go. This is a massive loss.

I've only seen D'Angelo live one time, in 2015 in Chicago after Black Messiah came out...I remember running into @zo3hree5ive.com randomly in the crowd at that show.

Somebody on Threads told me they saw D'Angelo over 20 times...you need to play the lottery then, because he was notoriously hard to catch on tour after Voodoo.

We need the Devils Pie documentary available on one of these services now, I've seen it, but most people haven't. It's a good look at D'Angelo's rise, and why he went away for a long time between Voodoo and Black Messiah.
