@@thedepresseddog6035 I don't know about what Sade had out then, but I'd say Erykah Badu truly lead the early 2000s neo-soul.

By 2003, she was the only already established name still making neo-soul.

I'm from Va and Philadelphia is a city I fell in love with. My 1st visit was in 1998, everlasting memories. The part of Va I came from, was slums and gentrified in the late 90s early 2000s. Philly is a place I rock with hard! Love the women out dere, beautiful queen's! Many brothers are cool and knowledgeable! The streets is real out dere! Nothing but respect. I recently did a job out dere, January 5, 2022. Truck delivery from Maryland too Philly. I currently live in Maryland left my hometown for a better life. Again love Philly. I went too "Gooey Louie's; too get a chicken cheesesteak! Gooey Louie's ran out of the chicken cheesesteak so I walk down a few block's too a soulfood seafood restaurant got crab cakes and macaroni/ cheese, expensive 19.76 but it was delicious. Maryland is known for its 🦀 crab cakes, so I was surprised Philly made dem really good! Love y'all beautiful queen's man!

He was the first concert I went to. He came over to Okinawa Japan and did à concert for us troops in 2003.

It’s so disappointing to me that an artist of Musiq’s caliber could ever have to feel unappreciated & unsupported. This Brotha has delivered so many classic songs. His songs from years ago can be played today & still sound fresh. I wasn’t annoyed by his choice to rap or go purple. I just assumed that he was experimenting with different styles of music. He’s one of a few artists whose work never disappoints or gets boring. If I remember correctly, some of his relationship business went personal, he was painted as being shady & unfaithful & that’s when public sentiment & support seemed to change a bit. It impacted his public image or persona, but the music has never ceased to pop. In any event, I like how you chronicled his career & his life. You did good!

To me these wonderful documentaries prove the need for more black owned content on tv. This was really good.

Love and Half-Crazy were jams back in the day!!! I need to check his other albums. Glad hes still around! Super talented!!

Most people didn't even know about the alter ego. His career is exactly what it should be. Musiq is a vibe. He isn't the greatest at any particular thing, but he manages to create timeless classics.

I love Musiq Soulchild’s duets with Mary J Blige (If you leave); India Arie (Chocolate high) & Carlos Santana (Nothing at all) + his own songs (So beautiful, Half crazy, Radio)… He has definitely contributed to the Neo Soul musical legacy.❤️✨

On my radio is my favorite album by him! I still can listen to it all the way through with no skips ❤️
