wtf?

damn i just remembered his RDR2 track

This one hurts

rest in peace

rip

i remember playin the hell out of this song during the lockdown pandemic 2020 wish d'angelo would've explored this jazz sound.

really one of the best all time artists & someone who’s music i hold dearly to my heart. Have to take a walk about this

I’m devastated but so appreciative that I got to experience his artistry man this is weird as hell for me

F***kkkkkkkkkk. 51 is just way way too soon. The only positive optimism to have is hopefully his timeless voice will reach younger generations. But we need the elder statesmen of R&B here……this is just so sad

Wow wtf rip

im crying

Devil’s Pie is lyrically still relevant this year more than ever too

Im about to empty the f***in clip and drop all my songs on SC. all artists need to commemorate this legend by doing what we do best and what he inspired us to do

you can’t make a greatest albums oat list without this mans discog involved

rip

ngl im hurt as f*** in this office rn like I don’t feel like working tbh

I also have an album club meeting today to discuss Black Radio 3 but I just wanna listen to and talk about D’angelo ngl

I hope you’re doing well fam

Damn RIP to a legend 🙏

On a slightly lighter note

Literally. No one on this earth can have a top 50 list and not have atleast one of his albums on there

Wowwww rip

Was listening to Unshaken when I heard the news.

This man’s music will be appreciated for hundred of years. RIP to my favorite artist of all time.

I remember when I was probably 8 or 9, my uncle picked me up from school and was playing Voodoo in the car - I absolutely loved it and I ripped it from a library CD lol. Fast forward several years, and 15 year old me put Untitled on a playlist for one of my crushes. I was telling my buddy about it and he burst out laughing bc my little white/hispanic ass was about to give a girl a f***ing D'Angelo s***anthem on a mixtape thinking absolutely nothing of it

I'll never forget when Black Messiah surprise dropped as well, and I was losing my s*** and none of my white friends at college knew who he was. Because Ferguson was happening not far away, it ended up being a moment of conversation and opened a lot of folks I care deeply about to the context of the album and his work's intersection with race. One of those things... you grow up in cities and with black folks daily, you never realize until you get older and leave how many people that look like you just never engage with black culture. But D'Angelo's music is undeniable, and I will always credit him with some of the most powerful music to soundtrack that time. Some of those folks texted me today shocked he passed.

Life is short, man. Art really weaves through memories and educates and helps us grow. Forever grateful for artists like D'Angelo and their stories that we've been lucky enough to have heard.

No way

insane unreal rip

RIP
