Jesse Johnson was on Prince's band; Pino Palladino played with The Who; Questlove is a founding member of The Roots; Chris Dave is one of the best modern drummers; This is basically an All-Star lineup.

Not to mention Isaiah Sharkey on guitar as well!

Welcome to the enigmatic musical genius that is D’Angelo (Dee-Angelo) this album came out in 2014/15’ I was in college and had NO IDEA this was dropping. This brother is one of my favorites. Brown Sugar is great, Voodoo is Magnum Opus, Black Messiah is a return to form after years of exile and struggle with fame and the monster that is the music industry.

This album is absolutely a "grower not a shower" lol. I am a diehard Beatles & Stevie Wonder fan (among other greats), and i've listened to this "Black Messiah" album more times than any other album in my life. It truly is a musical masterclass. I thoroughly enjoyed your authentic reaction to it 🙌🏽😊

D'Angelo is a genius like Prince only a different genius. They both played more than one instrument, produced, wrote entire albums. Excellence from both superstars.

The engineering and mix on this album is incredible

Tim is the man for this 🥳

THIS ALBUM IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED ENOUGH.

Looove this album. Appreciate you dressing up for it it deserves it

This album went under the radar. It’s one of my favorites. It’s so amazing wish more people knew about it.

Me too

You should react to D’Angelo’s voodoo album, it’s a masterpiece

This Is a 10/10! Let me explain: you had to listen to the album to understand it so the digital version sounds nothing like the CD or vinyl and that’s a gem within itself. The lyrics were damn good without sounding preachy.those songs were done before the BLM movement. It’s a fine wine that ages gracefully for fans. Honorable mention: Jimmy Lee-Raphael Saadiq. Cinnamon soul✊🏾

This album owes a lot of his solid palette to “There’s a Riot Goin’ On” by Sly & The Family Stone and “Parade” by Prince & The Revolution

May I stand unshaken Amid, amidst a crashing world

Regarding your closing statement, I get why people are quick to judge others for listening to certain music as an "outsider." They're mostly talking about people who consume art made by marginalized groups who then (mostly figuratively but often literally) wear their culture like a costume. But for someone to flat-out say that YOU shouldn't experience black music AT ALL is both wrong and misguided. Music IS the universal language. Case in point, you might not have ever learned who Fred Hampton was if the music didn't spark your curiosity. Isn't that what we want for the world? To get other people to see our perspective from a way that cuts through all the bullshit discourse and goes straight to the heart? You're a good one M6, I'd hate for you to miss out on some real thought-provoking art.

Interesting. And thank you. :-)

You gotta check out Voodoo too. That's my favorite from him. This one is a masterpiece too!

LISTEN TO VOODOO

I laughed when you realized the amount of whiskey you was drinking lol

Holy s**t you really gotta do Voodoo from him now

Thank you for reacting to this! You should also react to his other two albums; Brown Sugar and Voodoo. They're more R&B and groove laden respectively but something you'll definitely appreciate.

I love M6. I love this album. And I love "Deeee ...ANGELO!!!" 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

THANK YOU TIM. THANK YOU MR 6 All Time Favorites KZreadr! Intoxicating Passion always

One of the best albums of the decade

Definitely the best album of that year

Very few channels will react to this album. Thank you! D'Angelo is a genius.

Loving the new sliding shot from beneath

I like how D'Angelo really takes his times to polish his albums to perfection. I heard a funny concept the other day that "efficiency is disgusting." It's better to take your time and produce a few things that are wonderful than to mass produce a bunch of bullshit.

Incredible album

Yeah man! Great choice for a review!!!!

TIM know what's he's doing.

Other D’Angelo albums then????

Absolutely. And I made sure I got to see him Live when he was touring after this album was released. He did not do a lot of tour dates. Front Row. So grateful I was there

No. Unfortunately not. 😞

shoutout Tim

I hope by now you have looked more into the life and horrible death of Fred Hampton. I"m a Boomer and he is still one of my heroes. He was a brilliant charismatic leader and his loss to the US is still tragic. He could have changed out World

W Tim

I hope by now you've figured out his name is pronounced De - Angelo - at least that's how everyone I know who loves him says his name

How can you be talking through Really Love and not listening to that brilliant intro?

My favorite song on this album

please, react to "CARE FOR ME" by saba

At 14 mins does not sound exactly like the song on the album and I can assure I know that album really well. Listened to it almost nonstop for at least a year. Maybe it has to do with the acoustics where you are or the video

You gotta react to teezo touchdown
