So actually according to ?uestlove in his Red Bull interview, the “Lauryn track” was NOT “Feel Like Makin’ Love”, it was a completely different set of MULTIPLE beats that could’ve been a track with Lauryn but they never decided on which track (meaning Jay Dee beat) was gonna be used. And Lauryn never committed her vocals to tape that we know of. So in a last stitch effort they decided to cover “Feel Like Makin’ Love” , which is why Jay Dee isn’t credited, because it replaced the Lauryn track. It wasn’t actually the track she was supposed to be on. kzread.info/dash/bejne/q3esuNx8lZW0Ybw.html he starts talking about it at 42:38.

The timeline of events and who did what when definitely gets murky. I’m pulling my info from Dan Charnas’ research and interviews from his excellent book “Dilla Time”, but as we’ve seen with the Soulquarians before, there are multiple conflicting stories about what happened. In this case, regardless of what specifically happened, it’s a shame that we never got a Dill/D’Angelo/Lauryn track, and especially that Dilla didn’t get credit for (at minimum) his influence on this album. To represent both sides of the story for the record, I’ll pin this comment. Thanks for the link and citation!

Really appreciate how much you discuss D'Angelo. It's criminal how underrated he is in today's landscape, but I'm sure when he returns it'll be to his rightful place on the Soul throne.

I don't think so, Black Messiah didn't make much of a splash in the mainstream, even though it was one of, if not the best albums of that whole decade imo. But that's cool, D'Angelo isn't really chasing fame at this point of his life, he seems to be purposely avoiding it actually. He just puts out a classic album every decade, to bless us with some good soul music.

Bro, these videos never disappoint with the information that construct most of my favorites from this time, as for the mashup…🔥. It’s nice to see Alien Family getting some love and it was the very first beat that I ever heard after actually discovering J Dilla. It’s been love ever since. It was at a pivotal moment for me and it literally changed my life. He was already gone 🕊️and I remember the tears that fell when I found out. I just wanted to pay my respects. I always felt J Dilla presence in Voodoo and when I looked on the back of the CD cover for him, I was disappointed. But yo, you brought what I already felt was real out in the open. Thank you for what you do. You the GOAT!! 🐐

Thank you so much for putting the remix out for free on your site, you did great job on this🙏

I bought the book “Dilla Time” because of your recommendation in a previous video and DEVOURED it. I learned, I laughed, I cried… it was an amazing book. Gonna be gifting it to multiple friends!

Well-researched appreciation imbued with nuance and clarity. Keep doing what you're doing. We love it!!

You always deliver with these deep dive episodes on neo-soul lore! Love your work man, thank you

You did a GREAT job with this brother.

Bro. I just recently found your channel and have to say that your content quality is off the charts. I had my 16 year old daughter, who loves Voodoo but doesn’t have the ties to it like I do because I was 20-21 and heartbroken when this album dropped (voodoo was the soundtrack to the breakup but one mo gin was the my script if I was ever to see her again [I haven’t lol]) and she sat through the soulquarians video and the chicken grease video, and the D Angelo Voodoo documentary. These music history lessons are incredible! I love the lessons, the playing, the mixes, and most importantly, the dancing. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment. I have a suggestion. Can you cover Madlib and all of his aliases? All of him as jazz musicians and as Quasimodo. There has to be a ton of content surrounding him. Oh, did I mention that I absolutely love the dancing in these videos?? Also, she said that you have an amazing beard.

Dude you always make videos about songs or artists I love to death. Such unique and thoughtful content, keep it up and don’t stop man✊

Nice!!!

One of the great things about this channel, aside from learning a ton of new stuff about music that I love, is imagining what other topics you can draw inspiration from to make more videos. I'd love a deeper dive into Voodoo, especially the instrumental alchemy between Questlove, Charlie Hunter, and Roy Hargrove on "Spanish Joint". The acoustic demo for that song is on KZread as well and it's amazing!

sick!

The more I watch your channel, the more I realize that you are a Soulquarians stan. lol. Can’t blame you though! Keep up the great work, brother.

there is never enough of dilla

So who are the artists now that are continuing to make neo soul music that you can recommend. Watching ur videos has made me fall in love again w/ all the music the soulquarians made. Commons like water for chocolate is in my top 10 all time fav albums btw.

Ok, so when are you going to release a full length album of mashups inspired by the Soulquarians?? I can listen to these types of tracks all day man 🔥

Request for doing a deep dive on Outkast plz, their album Aquemini is an all time favorite of mine and your channel is perfect for doing a video on them

I would really love to hear your take on the Neo-soul supergroup that didnt happen… and boy for the album to drop 17 years after the fact: Jon B’s “Jack Herrera”. The history behind it is crazy!

I really appreciate your videos! Can you please dig into Heavy Rhyme Experience by the Brand New Heavies? Incredible live band hip hop album from 1992. Would be really interesting to hear your perspective on it. Just celebrated its 30th anniversary in July. Thanks again for your amazing vids!

Big track

I was walking around NY, on the periphery of the business, during that time. I had always heard that the label was struggling with Voodoo before it dropped because "it was too dark" and it was being delayed as they tried to find a single. I heard there was a song they were trying to do with Lauryn, but Rohan killed it. I never said this before because it always felt like unfair gossip. To this day, idk what is true and what is not...but so much time has passed for this little bit of gossip to matter. So, I'm just letting it fly here.
