Amazing how this drop has polarised peoples opinion - this is the first tune I have heard in a long time that has played with my musical history, my perception and expectations. D'Angelo, props to you brother, from a metal loving, funk playing, electronic music head.
D' Times are rough; people are broke, underpaid, losing jobs! This country needs your music right now b/c you are one of a very few left who TRULY recognizes, respects, and CARES about the gift of music! Be like the GREATS' that have come before you( James Brown, Marvin Gaye, MJ) and come thru this year for your peeps who needs that God given! Peace!
This track is according to ?uestlove(from roots and helping him on his current album) 8 years old. His new album is apparently again according to ?uestlove 93% complete. I'm lucky enough to hopefully see him in Feb in London. His touring band I believe will be Chris "Daddy" Dave on drums,Pino Palladino on bass and Jesse Johnson on guitar. Welcome back D'Angelo!! :-D
Its a demo with a hiip hop grundge sound and its aboslute music to ma ears..get off the sound quality and listen to what the man is doing...some people are so musically blocked...thts sad
4 Real. Okay, its demo, but it still sounds amazing. I personally like demo's cause it gives it a more raw, organic feel. And whether its a new or old track, the man is a genious, that can turn his hand to any genre of music. He is the Marvin Gaye/Otis Redding of our time. Folks better get ready for the return of real soul music!
@Mccritical80 its funny, there nothing wrong with the quality, thats how D wants it, this tune sounds like this in every format its how the tune was made and ment to be what the fuck is wrong with these fools, well put duded some are just blocked
Well dangelo is the king of neo I new tht when he first introduced brownsugar on cassette single tht changed my life and music...a lot of people don't know about this kind of sound...who said u couldn't cover a song with just the hook...this is real music...love it!
Calling this a cover is a BIG stretch. Like the jam, but this is more of a tip of the cap to Soundgarden. You can't call it a cover when the only thing it does is reference the term "Black Hole Sun" and washing something away (with a different construction).
demo from EIGHT years ago... Q-TIp from the Roots confirmed it happened a long time ago, and it's probably only surfacing because his new album is about to drop, so he'll be back in the spotlight!

Been an immense fan, since the very first time that I heard "Brown Sugar"...fellow VA-brethren: get yourself over yourself, and pump out some more of these DOPE-ASS TRACKS that you were born to make, please and thank you...!!
You're suppose to be out here cementing your legacy, as one of the greatest to ever do it, a la Marvin; and, instead: you're getting "We miss you!"-letters, for yet another year...C'MON, my dude...!
ppl are removing the song..I hope you don't..love it nomatter the quality..guess I'm just another fan hoping he will bless us with what he seems to do so very well :)
@jennifurlovesjessiej This was from 8yrs ago according to Quest. It wasn't suppose to leak. I guess it's just something D did just to do it, nothing serious.
I'm too excited right now. D is back (truthfully never left because he stays in my rotation)
