D'Angelo - Playa Playa

[Pirate7X]

OHIO PLAYERS: PLAYER'S BALLING.

Big up D on bringing that deep OP funk with his own spin to all of us in the masses.

[iwillknifeya]

Did anyone else start listening to D'Angelo because they listened to Erykah Badu and her album "Baduizm"? I love this by the way :D

[BlackStarLeo]

@iwillknifeya Yup, same here. Two of the best Neo-Soul artists.

[Efornication]

I love his music first off, you can always get a piece of meat anywhere, so don't think that's the reason he's on hiatus. I jam Brown Sugar in my car on most days and wish the man would come back and put some more of his music on my mind.

[scandal21]

Hope this brother get his game back on, one of the most underrated brothers out there truly a great talent!

[yoursoulandbody]

Yoda...it really has been wayyyyyy toooo long!

[Clicheless]

This is that shit...that funk rock and roll that makes your soul move..he moves me even when he isn't singing like that..because his composition is so fucking nice maaaaan....Yoda we need you back!!

[ali91958]

real music

[qtbgv2vaif]

dats some bad ass soul an r&b right there,d 'Angelo u da man

[JayDeeAZ12]

J Dilla deserves credit as well... he got no credit on his album when he contributed mad to it

[calisax80]

Cant fake the funk!!!

[dldavenable]

Love u D'angelo!!!!!!!!

[goodlife381]

fucken music

[MultiGuarddog]

Come on D, dust it off, get in the studio ,and giveus some more of that funky stuff

[SouloSwang]

This album was in my car back in the day next to Bilal, I wish like prince, Dangelo and Bilal did like a hit together, that would be history right there..

[sillkkndabscractch11]

This is meean!! D'angelo we need the comeback

[bonita33diva]

oh oh yea!!! D'Angelo got his swagg back, ima need everybody 2 be on the look out for the come backkkk!!!!!!!!!

[xalifornia]

the bass line is ridiculous.

[steeret]

Today's so-called R&B "artists" have no idea how to even come close to this level of musicianship and lyrical prowess. D'Angelo epitomizes what it means to be a cat -- a truly bad to the bone dude. No one has ever been able to layer vocals the way he does. Each and every harmony could be a lead vocal; that kind of shit can't be auto-tuned or manufactured. Pure soul and groove.

[boygeorgetheboy]

listen to 00:22 to 01:07 on a loop for 10 minutes then u will understand the meanin of voodoo

[Vampie224]

i miss songs like this i had my babies with one of hie songs not this one i know it was one of them.juust miss this man hope he is out there getting clean so he can make a come back soon.

[lashellisgreat]

Love his voice and sexiness! I wonder when he's coming out with something new!

[dozza92]

Father of Neo-Soul

[ladiesman414]

love this song, that one dislike is someone with no rhythm

[brodestar93]

Just find out this song was ment for the space jam soundtrack but warner brothers freaked out and took smile again for its brown sugar vibe. haha this song makes more sense on the space jam soundtrack then smile again does. glad they both got put out though

[JonnyPaineMusic]

Steal you with my 2 shot, control you with my drop, blaze you with my handle, and bless you with my pops.

[fukkboii]

rip dat shit

[tmatthes06]

He just has a presence in his voice that way out way his looks or body just soulfullrightiousness end of story n I miss that shit

[MsMijag]

Loving it, as usual! The music industry needs real r&b back!!

[thewhole9yarbs]

all you ho's who won't shut up about how sexy D'angelo is are the reason why he keeps going on hiatus. Can't deal with the pressure of being a sex icon, and feels disrespected when girls keep telling him to take his clothes off during concert, it makes him think nobody cares about his music just his abs.

[kayrow]

@thewhole9yarbs thats too true. but thats how alot of the industry has become now. all these new cats, girls love em because of their looks. so superficial. the talent aspect is quite awol.

[DogFactory001]

@thewhole9yarbs hahahahaha!!!

[msasiadc83]

@thewhole9yarbs I feel ya. I sing and I'm pretty good at it. I would've made it in the industry but I'm not an industry type woman. I just want people to love my music and what I have to say. I'm not bad on the eyes either. But I do understand you. I don't like fame. We are all ordinary people that happen to have talent and love what we do. I'm sure he's flattered but it has to be hard... I love D'angelo but I love his music more cause I know his music.

[bebopdad]

Dang I Miss This dudes flow. R&B needs him!!

[PhuckHue2]

Pino killed this on bass

[MrZieka]

play on play on

[auggie87]

Seriously, jam of ALL jams.

[zlybass]

bassist has really bad ass!

[ishtapinks]

@zlybass pino palladino :)

[logey23]

WHY THE DUDE ALWAYS GOT HIS SHIRT OFF

[lavellove1]

@logey23 If i looked like that i would never wear a shirt too.

[ishtapinks]

@logey23 cause he looks so damn fine without it. ;)

i'm not complaining.

[Deekstercph]

@logey23 He thinks it some sort of Alaye calendar, ahahah!

[geneofaset]

I was blown away by Brown Sugar when I heard it back in '96...I KNEW this album was a classic when i first bought it and listened to it back in 2000! Now I KNOW that James River will not disappoint me!

[MrZieka]

incredible

[wackowahoo1]

I slept on this album, bought it for Untitled, now this album stays in the mix start to finish!! Noticed similar bass styles with John Mayer, didn't know until recently that Pino killed this album as well!!! Love IT!!!!

[ruffdraft07]

This is what happens when the Soulquarians form Voltron!!!! D'Angelo, JDilla and ?uestlove need to make my beats!!!!

[kay19833]

that punk who gave this a thumb down has one ball missing.

[theoriginalsafinette]

@kay19833 lol! i know right.

[TeHikuMedia]

yeah wat up tg343441 i reckon we a special type of people who appreciate this music

[ErikaBoudha]

Best bass line ever !!!

[itsthejazzkid]

@ErikaBoudha fuck yeah

[JUSTINalv]

i lost my v to this song... idk how bout a hot girl magically appeared in front of me bending over as soon as i pressed play...and i LOCK THAT SHIT DOWN...look at my eyes roll um..

[theoriginalsafinette]

@JUSTINalv lol

[maps50]

D'angelo please come back your music is missed

[flipmode626]

He produces and collaborates gems..phenomenal.

[MrADRIAN747]

Yea the big homie underrated..

[madflavason]

He is a talented bro, with swag and a smooth flow............p - licious44 , I like that name!

[RATMfan92]

TO ALL THE PEOPLE HERE:

Listen to Funkadelic's song Smokey. A LITTLE INFLUENCE from there to Voodoo album, and especially to this song.

[Wobbothe3rd]

@RATMfan92 Also, you can tell that Ohio Players "Players Ball" was an inspiration as well

[Pirate7X]

@Wobbothe3rd

Let 'em know!

[Ahrataza2]

Try not to bob your head

[AdamTheChamp]

whatever jb, I got 18 girls pregnant lsitening to D'Angelo. I wasn't even in the room for half of them either.

[pussylicious44]

lol

[aprildaonlyqueen123]

@AdamTheChamp And you're bragging about getting 18 girls pregnant...U need to check youreslf....Thats 18 more single baby mamas in the world.....Not cool dude!!!! Hope u r being a father to each and every 18th child of yourn cause u sound iggnorant...Sorry to say!!!!!! :(

[thaotherb]

@aprildaonlyqueen123 knock it off, the both of you. i'm a concerned citizen

[bcom11]

@aprildaonlyqueen123 u need to relax. it's obvious he's not serious about getting 18 girls pregnant. he's just commenting on how impacting and influential the artist is and what a great musician d'angelo is, in a humorous manner.

NOT THAT DEEP

[easyly06]

@AdamTheChamp church

[luxurious297]

@easyly06

Do you believe everything adamthechamp be saying? lol

[lillypatty26]

@AdamTheChamp bahahaha that's freaking great!

[out2getyouagency]

@AdamTheChamp

That is a FUCKIN' GREAT COMMENT!!!

[NTheory08]

that doesnt make u a man.... makes u a possible carrier

[Wobbothe3rd]

@NTheory08 That comment makes YOU a man... with no sense of humor

[NTheory08]

@Wobbothe3rd I was joking geez

[jb13790]

got 14 girls pregnant to D'angelo

[deekydan]

@ jb13790, you're gross and you should be nutered.

[jb13790]

Well, I generally find it hard to take advice from someone who wields language like a blunt instrument. Upgrade your browser at the very least for some spell check.

[deekydan]

@ jb13790, anyway...you still need to be nutered. If what you've said is true, then you're not a man. At best, you're an animal that jumps on anything that moves. Where's your discretion? Yuck

[bossfellass]

WHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[dudethe2nd]

the production on this album was definitely a fundamental turning point in my musical appreciation. D'angelo, ?uestlove, Pino and the rest of them really did something special on this one.

[tpritchas14]

I no man. I love how they sorta blended in the vocals on a lot of the tracks to give the instrumentals and beat a say.

[kjacks20]

love dangelo

[sudarabajan22]

Mr. Pallidino MASSACRED the bass on this joint!! One of the nastiest funk grooves ever to be recorded on an album that is by far music made especially for musicians, cuz mainstream radio/media hardly knew how to promote something on this level ;o) Sadly most people remembered his half-nakedness on this one than the full naked truth of brilliance that was the MUSIC!!

[vintagesoul73911]

Amen

[NonchalantO1ne]

This is "Stank Face" music at its best just so funky. lol my face hurts lol.

[jwad708]

One of the most underrated artist of the past 10 years!!!!!! HANDS DOWN.....

[Milestonetracks]

underrated maybe... by today's standards but if they wore him out like they do those comercial artists he would not get respected by real music lovers This way his music will last forever!

[sunshine1860]

you speak the truth

[visno]

@jwad708 i wouldnt nessessary say underrated. just fell under the radar over the years. most people who know music still recognize d'angelo as one of the most influential and pivotal artists of modern soul music.

[itsthejazzkid]

@visno not to mention he sorta disappeared into all sorts of issues. always looking forward to the next release though. james river, right?

[theoriginalsafinette]

@visno VERY well said. I don't consider him underrated at all. If he were, no one would be talking about him or anticipating his next album 11 years after the fact.

[peponation]

@jwad708 the most underated in van hunt by light years tho

[CirceEnchants]

@jwad708 D'Angelo.... just wicked, mad, true, real, cool, phat, swinging, rumping, pumping, smoking hot, heavy, hard, licking, busting rhymes, sound, bass: sick music.... playa playa

[Chezinsky]

Play on Play on!

[7deepbreaths]

D Angelo IS the greatest! D Angelo's team are the hottest!

[macaroniandchesse12]

this is the ish im 14 and i steal love d'agelo one of the best of neo soul and r&b .<period

[775hiteenaa]

I Just Heard D'Angelo started as a Underground Mc Thats Probaly why His Music is Real soul D'Angelo wanted to Make More soul he Knows where the Music Came From He ant soft everyone respects him

[KayMay1224]

One of my favorite songs. Brown Sugar and Voodoo are still in heavy rotation in my world. Playa Playa was the perfect intro song, I mean, it sets the mood. The whole CD is a beast, but this joint is the shit.

[sociologyben]

That pocket is just stank nasty.....that damn bass drum and bass g-tar...

[Fjord76]

I just can't get over that joint(& the whole LP) it has been haunting me these past ten years...the singing,horn arrangement,beat&bass playing are simply the dopest dope I've ever heard !

Does anyone have ever heard a live version of it ?

[dubo86]

No matter what changes D'angelo has gone through he is still a musical guru. Voodoo top 10 album of all time. Brings nack so many memories.

[5511249]

whoa whoa whoa... back that train up. D'Angelo is a fatty now? lmao when did that happen?

I still love him. His gut ain't the one singin songs.

[nickytaylor112]

Man he is so sexy!

[HUMMIKE]

WHAT!? PINO PALLADINO IS GOD

[codehendrix]

truely

[mammasan3]

One of my favorites!! Love the bass track when it creeps back in near the end!! One of the hottest beats on the album!!

[NoJobForThem]

i think the good thing about him being fat now is that more people start listening to the music and feeling that this man is a genius like prince etc (and even makes more complex music)

[tLoveDaSurfdawg08]

i think album gets no recongnition. this one of my favorite albums. i mean gawdayummm the beat is way sexy!

[bronbronface]

i agree...his first album which was off the chain had a lil soul with R&B but this album Voodoo was nothing but straight NEO Soul

[meltedsunshine]

one of my favorite songs on this album, i used to play this constantly, still do

[NonchalantO1ne]

What a fucking pocket...damn pino and ?uest my God my God. I had the stank face the whole album...just disgusting lingering funk throughout the whole album. Yoooo Pino....amazing especially on chicken grease...I almost broke my fucking neck listening to that shit and I have a bose cd player omg. Suicide!!

[nubianfx]

lol at stank face. i know what you mean though!

The album, like voodoo possesses you, has you looking foolish and getting dirty.

[flavtothecity]

D'angelo ever and ever...this is the first track of the best album ever made by an human being

[edsonflores25]

you can say that again. i'm from africa and this album just takes me back to that feeling... Best album ever...

[flavtothecity]

From where exactly?my girl is from ghana..peace edson

[edsonflores25]

i live in the uk but i'm from Angola and there you can smell the music that D'angelo does :-) it's in the air

[macaroniandchesse12]

right right ,cant lie

[flavtothecity]

yo macaroniand chesse!

in italy we say "maccheroni e formaggio!"

and I'mabout to eat it now!

peace

[antzcube]

This iz the cut!!! This track is goes in the funky hall-of-fame as one of the filthiest tracks ever put on wax, vinyl, and digital media!!! THanks tg343411!!!

[tg343441]

Much love to everyone who appreciates his music. Enjoy.

[flavtothecity]
