Dude, this late 90s early 2000s Neo Soul stuff is amazing. D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, The Roots, the Soulquarians, Common, etc etc. They all basically set up in Jimi Hendrix old studio in New York for like 5 years and made amazing music together, basically living there and jamming and putting out perfection like this.

Common was before the Neo Soul feel. He’d been dropping Hip Hop prior to the Neo Soul movement and had that feel, poetically, until the movement took root and blasted off. He’d also been cool with just about everyone in the movement prior which is why he meshed right in.

D'Angelo is legitimately a genius. Amazing singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and performer.

Possibly my favorite musician ever, and he's not even the best at any of the instruments he plays, or the best singer ever. I don't know what it is about his music.

@@cm9241 As a singer in the R&B lane, I feel like he deserves a place in the top 5 at least. I've never heard the guy sing even one note that's off-key (live).

@inclinebench I would put him at number 1, I'm just saying from a purely technical perspective I might put singers like Bilal above, even though I don't like his music nearly as much as D'Angelo's personally.

On this track D'Angelo played the drums himself, with Raphael Sadiq on bass.

When I saw the video for this song it opened up a whole new world for me! 🤭😉

That’s how the song abruptly ends 😂

One of the best R&B songs of all time! SO many layers, and his vocals are next level 👏🏼

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER! ❤❤

This song is ICONIC in the culture ❤

This has to be one of the sexiest songs ever made. Whew, it's getting hot in here😂

Hey, it's Rose, thanks for checking out my suggestion! I also highly recommend that 16 minute live version as well, it's musical perfection and really showcases D'Angelo's talent and personality

Oh dawg you gotta listen to the entire Voodoo album. "The Root" will blow your mind

The song came out January 1, 2000...A tribute to his musical inspiration & friend, Prince....The drums were played by Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show musical director "Questlove", the guy with the afro, with an afro pick (comb) stuck in it, as he plays with D'Angelo with a slightly offbeat (kinda ragged) style for realness & tension. Good reaction!

This IS the full version lol. It ends like that. You should react to the music video.

As far as like Engineering stuff is concerned, there’s a lot of information out there about these sessions if you want to deep dive on the equipment and stuff, check out the Redbull interviews for Questlove and especially Russel Elevado (the engineer for this record) . This was all recorded at Electric Lady studios through out the latter half of the 90s, there’s a few outtake videos from that era but not of this song in particular. Questlove played drums on most of the songs on this album but I’m pretty sure on this one D’Angelo programmed the drums on an MPC and played everything else (keyboards and the piano) alongside Raphael Saadiq (bass and guitar)

This song ❤️ incredible, just incredible. Also, the video gave me a spiritual awakening in my teenage years 😂

Fun fact you may have heard already .. but Track 19 off of Breezy “Harder” samples this record.

Yes

Raphael Saadiq produced this song. He is a master at Soulful 3/4 ballads. If you get a chance, even if you dont do a reaction, check out Mary J. Blige, "I found my everything." he made her sound almost like Aretha Franklin. Thanks for appreciating this music...

D'Angelo at the time of writing and recording the demo version of this Song, he did have Prince in mind. So much to the point he gave it to Prince to Have. But Prince Turned it Down. And D'Angelo created a Classic 24 Years Later that is An Untouchable Record to This Day. Myself personally as a Drummer and Producer the Kit on this Joint is so Crispy. I love that Warm Tape Sound on Great Records like this. 💯👏👌🏾 Dope Reaction, Homie.

I've been wainting for a long time to talk about big snare!! That's super cool!!

Came out in 2000. And he played quite a few of the instruments on this song

You got to check out The Root and Spanish Joint from this same album

The video tho 🔥

His tribute to Prince. Sounds a lot like Do Me Baby

Aww too bad it wasn't the music video. 😍😋

You gotta play the video for this one to get the full effect. Everyone was talking about this video for months!!! I've watched 5 different people play this hoping to see their reaction and everybody but one did what you did. Only played the song. This video was so 🔥🔥🔥people were talking about it for months.!!! Did you guys not get the memo? The video is original and so unique....your Loss.

I'm sure someone has already mentioned it, but the video is worth a watch. Just brace yourself.

Can you please do a reaction to D’Angelo - Send it on from the Voodoo Album. Great arrangement and then whole different vibe in the end of the song. Your love it

The video tho.... the video..........

Him and his brother plays all the instruments and he does his own background vocals

Tha cut!

The song tracks like a sexual episode. I feel the vocals we made with sex sounds in mind. As well as where these sounds were placed. As well as the end.

You should see the video!

More dangelo please

He was inspired by prince 😂

Chris brown Sleep at night also samples this song Plz react to it 🙏🏼
