D'Angelo, Maxwell and Sade I don't care if they ain't dropped a album in 10 years whenever they do I'm damn sure listening to it 😂
👌👆❤
Lauryn Hill too
Yes sir...Sade usually gives us a bagger every ten years...I'm like you patiently waiting!!!🤔
Sade sings to me! Sade is my lady 💙💗
We play D'Angelo's more recent stuff on our station. We love it!
Sabotaged is a harsh word. D'Angelo took a step back, sorted out his demons, let go of unrealistic body standards, and bossed up on his mental health. Then he got back to music on his own terms. Good for him 👏🏽
He got addicted to drugs and let himself go. Call a spade a spade.
@@dkmrap1 😂
@@dkmrap1both are true. Why do you think people get addicted and let themselves go? For kicks?
D’Angelo is the Brock Lesnar of R&B. He only pops up when he wants to. When he does, it’s incredible.
Never thought I'd see a Brock Lesnar-D'angelo reference.
Well done. Well done 👏🏾
Well how does it feel
I love when the wrestling and hip hop/R&B cultures meet.
I dont know if I would say Brock....more like The Rock
Not Brock Lesnar 😁. Took me back to my wrestling days, Brock, Randy Orton, Shawn Micheals, Edge, Kane.
That Black Messiah album is dope, he even won a Grammy for it. Regardless of his personal troubles, that doesn't change the mark he left on R&B. Same thing goes for Marvin Gaye and a host of others.
You're not lying about Marvin! His personal life was something else but his music is ... No adjective is strong enough to relay how i feel about it
Except he's still here, so no use speaking in past tense
I pray he continues to find healing and continues to improve. While he is immensely talented, his family needs him the most
Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He's doing well.
Amen
He done dropped an album, and music for video games since then. He good now.
@@ProducerTSS that’s so awesome ❤️💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
D'Angelo is handsome, immensely talented, a trailblazer and one of my favorite artist. I don't mind that artist like him , Sade and Maxwell take long breaks in between albums because quality beats quantity. His music is timeless. We need more artists like him. He deserves his flowers.
🎯
Agree 💯
Would hardly say he sabotaged his career. The music industry life span of an artist is 3-5 years. If an artist lasts longer than they definitely have other business or deals outside of music. It's like saying Ms Lauryn Hill sabotaged her career but real artists see the industry for what it is and move accordingly.
A- Trust I can't remember which Entertainer years ago said ' it's a lot easier to make it to the top than it is to stay there ' .
I know if he was to go on tour tomorrow ... it would sell out within minutes. I wouldn't say he sabotage his career. He is truly in a place where he can perform ... when he wants too. And when he does.. I will be at a couple of those shows. And that's for real.
Most artists don't see shit - they sell out, but you're right about the lifespan and you have to be really good/talented or clever to last longer than usual
And he killed the game when he did it!
@@aribrahim1898 Right.
D’Angelo didn’t sabotage his career. D’Angelo escaped the machine…He’s a genius remember? The music industry is toxic af
I remember my Mom, who’s a huge D’Angelo fan, telling me about seeing him live around 9 times during his Lady, Devils Pie, How does it feel days. She said everytime she saw him live, some of the women AND men who came to his shows would be super disrespectful and nasty. They would be grabbing at his meat when he’d lean in to sing to a woman in the audience. She said one woman as far as to grab at his pants and start ripping at it to try and get him naked during his “How does it feel” set… Disrespect is disrespect, regardless of gender. I could understand wanting to dip away from a fan base of both casual and day 1 fans who really just see you as piece of meat there to be devoured. That can fuck with your brain and cause you to lose out on great opportunities because you’re having anxiety from performing. I hope D’Angelo is doing better and took time away to work on his mental health and manage his stressors better. 🙏🏾
Fans short for fanatic smh
That's terrible! But that's what happens when people put out a lustful image. This kind of mess appeals to lust mongers and degenerates and their behavior (as you've said) showed it.
Damn
@@igotyourback9175 it wasn't a lustful image though
D'Angelo is and will always be one of my FAVORITE musicians...Despite what the media, youtubers, or anyone who is trying to write his story says.. I WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER RESPECT HIS TALENT AND HIS PRIVACY... HE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY TOP 5 OF GREAT MUSICIANS AND IN MY PLAYLIST ROTATION...SENDING NOTHING BUT ✌🏼❤ & BLESSINGS 👐🏼TO THE ONE AND ONLY D'ANGELO 💯 🌹
amen
D'Angelo could've been a mega star lady and Devils pie was my joint back in the day.D'Angelo is a classic example of a musical artist who struggled with his identity because everybody try to put his music in a box and he didn't know which direction to turn to.He's a prime example of he was trying to be something that he wasn't and didn't want to be he wanted to be just a musical artist not the sex symbol that everyone made him out to be and it started to overshadow his career along with the struggles to write music and perform music.
Imma call bullshit on this one or his video would have not been naked🤷🏾♂️
Somewhere out there Cee lo Green is eating Church's Chicken and laughing. He was lucky to be fat and out of a shape his entire career. His fans were just there for the music.
@@theultimatenewplayer9341 Yeah to certain agree D'Angelo had talent. The man could sing and I really like All four of his albums. But when it comes to your image you have to tell these record executives and all of these press and media who you really are. If you're not the sex symbol people make you out to be then tell them listen. I'm keeping my shirt on. I'm keeping my pants on and that's it. You come and see me and listen to my music and nothing else. Devil's pie that music video. It's basically him half naked with the camera panning on his body
🙆🏾♀️,☝🏾st 😌 oFF, 💁🏾♀️Now Guurl 😽 U know alotta tht 💩bE iN #D'Angelo head 😄 #BlessHis🤏🏾🤎 😇 👉🏾#He!nnocent🙃🤭
If you saw Mary J Blige story the same think happen to her the music industry want a image of a hard core ganger girl and she was young and when along with the plan and then it began to get to much for her ,she started taking all kinds of drugs and her life when on this crazy world spin.If you are not strong in your mind that industry will tear you down so sad .
My brother went to highschool with him. He was a short fat dude that won all the talent competitions. Even with all his issues, he has more talent than most people in his time and still today!
I knew he was short
JFK
AMEN!
Why y’all do D’Angelo like that!?! Many of us are familiar with his struggles, but it would have been nice if you didn’t breeze over his redemption like it was nothing. I seen D’Angelo live when he released his album Black Messiah and he still looked fine as ever, vocals were on par with the sound we’ve come to recognize, and his musicianship was something to be admired jumping from instrument to instrument on stage like he does in the studio. That album and a song from the album garnered 2 Grammys in 2016.
Say That 👏👏👏

Exactly!
His career definitely isn't sabotaged. There's legions of us just WAITING for his next album or tour. Believe that.
Wow...I never knew he was dealing with this behind the scenes. He is one of the most talented brothers in the music industry. I wish people just recognized and appreciated him just for his talent
When DeAngelo came out with his first album Brown Sugar ( a Masterpiece btw) I was so surprised on how young he was 19 y.o, because he sang like old Soul. I didn't see his music like Neo Soul but more like Old School R&B such as Legend's like Stevie Wonder, Prince, Marvin Gaye, and Curtis Mayfield. Although his wrestled with his Demons it's so Awesome how he risen from the Ashes. God Bless you D such a Amazing Artist.
Brown Sugar is A Masterpiece. Always on replay.
When great artist "fall off" like DeAngelo & Lauryn Hill I always felt they seen the dark side of the industry & said.. I'm Good💯
They didn't fall off tho. They chose to step back.
EXACTLY 💯✅
I listen to at least one song from Black Messiah every single day! He’s a genius in his craft who lost his way back home. I love you D’Angelo ✊🏽
I feel you. Black Messiah is killin
I remember buying Black Messiah immediately when it dropped a few years back. I remember saying it was AHEAD OF ITS TIME...I still few that way Today. It's mind-blowing.
Dude realistically was in the "One hit Wonder ", catagory . Maybe 3 good songs max ! If it wasn't for that super sexy video, he might have not been so big in his brief moment. He did have the ladies going Ape-shit though! Lol... But a genius, I think not my friend!
I listened to "Messiah" for a year straight when it first came out.
@@Artisjjj apparently you didn't listen to his first CD..
He one of the best Rnb artist of the 90 but every body can't handle success once they hit so fast but he still a great artist
It's not always purely about the ability to handle success, although at times that is a big part of the problem. There is a lot of evil that goes on behind the scenes in these industries and the higher you get, the more difficult it can be to keep your toes clean. Some people don't want their spirits to become tarnished so they separate from that life and from the desire to be the biggest act they can be because even that desire is often heavily rooted in lust, the desire to be lusted after, and just vanity in general.
In this day and age, it's all the more difficult to maneuver the game and not fall victim to the more destructive elements.
He's still handsome. I was a kid when D'Angelo came out but I still remember a lot of those songs I liked back then. 💓
This dude is a Icon, like Teena Marie Said years ago, There's no Neo Soul it's Soul, because Soul music comes from your soul, U can feel it, and that's what his music is, Music from the Soul.
Yes 💕
And only Teena can speak on it because her music was and stll is in a league of its own.
@@ladyluck7481 SPEAK THAT 🗣🗣🗣💯
@@CJ-3121 Thanks !
@@ladyluck7481 YOU WELCOME...OH AND I LOVE ME SOME LADY T.
Of all of his struggles, D'Angelo is STILL. A. MUSICAL. GENIUS!! I am ELATED that he cleaned himself up and back to creating! I've never seen him live, but I'd DEFINITELY pay for it when he comes near me!! RESPECT!!💖🎶🔥😎🔥
De’Angelo is so gifted . ℹ hope that he finds his soul again.😔
Voodoo came out my junior year in high school...J-Dilla and D'Angelo cemented my obsession with music. Dilla's life was cut short, and D'Angelo's output never reached it's potential. I was robbed! This was back when DMX was releasing 2 or 3 albums a year. I had to wait 14 years for another album. Glad he found peace with his art.
Glad to see some Dilla fans. Don’t forget Questlove’s input on D’Angelo’s projects too
and if he had a concert... 30 million would attend
Man, it seems like he was possibly dealing w/some anxiety issues. I hope he is still clean and living a more peaceful life.
D Angelo did verzuz by himself enough said he a legend ain’t nothing sabotaged!
He's making the music he wants to make now and that's what he always wanted.
I fell in love with music because of D'Angelo. He'll always have my ❤️ and I wish nothing but the best fie him!
De'Angelo wanted to be independent. They don't like independence. Look what happened to Michael Jackson. Look what they did to Anita Baker. Plus, he didn't want to destroy the Blk community. Look atxwhat the Rap music is doing to Blk neighborhoods. It is sad and disheartening. I wish our people wake up from the violence. I am still skeptical on what happened to his career. He was great at what he does.
You sound like a republican just like Baker
D'Angelo will always be one of my top five favorite male artist of all time. I am a female but for some reason I didn't feel right when he started getting fit. To me he is attractive regardless. Turns out he felt uneasy about loosing weight and being a sex symbol and things went down from there.
Sadly that's show business
Voodoo is one of my fav R&B albums of all time…it’s flawless from front to back…beginning to end.
He didn’t sell his souls like most artists and that’s why he isn’t commercially popular still. Real music lover know him for who he is. A real musician and unbelievable artist
I miss D'Angelo. Come back genius ❤️
Calling this man a genius is a stretch.
@@warrenlewis3977 can you play all instruments...sing all parts and write and produce ...not a stretch he is awesome. Very few can do that today.
@@linnettemcneal8788 Linnette he might have some level of musicianship and some vocal ability but far away from genius. Are you putting DeAngelo in the same conversation as Barry, Marvin, Teddy, Al, Stevie an nem??
@@warrenlewis3977 Im putting him up there with Prince. .
@@linnettemcneal8788 Good Lord... you've lost your mind.
I love, love, love D'Angelo. He still got it too! wish he would tour again and perform the hits 😢
Send it on is one of the most beautiful songs ever!! Along with “I found my smile again”, “Alright “, “Lady” and “me and the dreaming eyes “ were my favorites
Say all of that 🖤👌🏼..Devil's pie, Brown Sugar, Cruising, Untitled (How Dos it Feel) BLACK MESSIAH, CHICKEN GREASE.... VODOO/ AFRICA.. DAMMIT LOVE ME SOME D'ANGELO 💯
i grew up listening to my parents playing marvin and Luther...now my house is filled with Erykah and D'angelo.
The great artists often go through these type of issues. Look at Andre 3000. The music industry will tear a hole in your soul. Peace and blessings to Brother and all those who are struggling with these issues.
Yeah..I remember that How does it feel video... A blessing and more of a curse.. Everyone talked more about his body than the song..and when he was seen a few years later overweight, they dragged him big time.. Shame.…
Never knew his backstory or that he felt that way about his how does it feel video & the impact it had on his psyche. Losing his best friend & close family members affected him something hard. I'm happy that brother reach out to Gary Harris & that Harris helped him out...thank you Gary Harris. Mike(D'Angelo)is of the most realest & kindest brothers around...
I still got the brown suga album deluxe version for yeaars on my cellphone 👌👌
He has such a lovely voice
That man gave all he had poured into us and paid a price for it…much respect GOD!
D’Angelo’s Black Messiah album is still incredible! Much prayers to the god.
The Soulquarian ERA from 97-01 is vastly underrated in this generation. If your a "serious" musician (Voodoo, Like Water For Chocolate & Mama's Gun) are the three musical bibles you need to read if your gonna be able to play Neo Soul. A lot of musical geniuses are tortured and he seemed like one of them !
I agree this was one of the best eras in music in my opinion! All three of those albums are some of the greatest albums of all time. I love neosoul music however so I'm a bit biased.
@@clarissawestbrook2203 I'm a saxophonist and these are the bibles of Neo Soul. Anything you hear from "Neo Soul" artists today borrow for these three albums. One of the greatest eras in Black Music!⭐🔮🧡
@@jamesduckery That's cool and it was I miss the neosoul era.
@@clarissawestbrook2203 it's still here, you might have to dig for it tho.
D’Angelo will always be my all time favorite musician. Right there with Hendrix and Coltrane. Legend.
Isn’t it funny how a lot of “introverts” have been blessed with talent that arguably requires us to come out of our shells to be heard/seen.
I don’t believe he Sabotaged his career because I’m sure we all still listen to his music. And if he came out with some new music today, we would listen. That’s a lot of pressure for an artist.
While some extroverts need to stay silent and in the closet.
@@-love-life3267 😂😂😂
Thank you! Much needed 👏🏾
Many blessings to D'Angelo keep pushing forward. 🙏🏿 ✊🏿👊🏿🙏🏿
Thank you 🙏🏽 for update on one of the most unique artists ever!
This was beautifully done! Well put together my Brother in Christ! God bless you!
I personally think he didn’t wanna follow the agenda. We have heard plenty of musicians and actors talk about those parties 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️. YEP I believe in those stories
I was 15 years old when D'Angelo came out in 1995 how does it feel & your my lady gives me feelings of nostalgia. Love those days !
That was GREAT episode, thank you🙏. Lots of info that I didn't know.
He didn’t want to sell out….
Wow I didn't know he tried to kill himself over a woman that is crazy ass hell. He will come back and stronger then ever. I hope so
He already did. You didn’t see his Verzuz?
One things for sure even though he hasn't put out anything in a while, everything that he has put out has been fire whether it just him,or featuring someone with him
I love D'angelo, so don't get me wrong, but: What does any of this have to do with comedy?
Click bait also there running out of ideas and stories to talk about.
You tryna give them a label and put comedy hype into a box like they did dangelo? 😅
@@funkyfreshkid08 🤣🤣
And I thought it was me........
IF BY SOME SMALL CHANCE D'ANGELO EVER READS THIS ...LOVE AND BLESSINGS❣ D'ANGELO ...YOUR MUSIC WILL FOREVER BE IN THE UNIVERSE.... THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR MUSICAL TALENTS WITH THE WORLD...I JUST LISTENED TO YOUR MUSIC RECENTLY...I PARTICULARLY LOVE YOUR LIVE PERFORMANCES 💯 🌹I HOPE THAT AS YOU READ THE THREAD OF COMMENTS, YOU FEEL THE LOVE, APPRECIATION & RESPECT OF YOUR FANS
Had no idea bruh was going through it like that! Salute king!
I just said the other day if he ever has another tour I'd be there so fast! Listen to his music all the time 💜
According to Questlove and D’Angelo…Voodoo was a Prince inspired album.
Great coverage!
Wow, thanks for doing this piece. Always been a fan and knew he had been dealing with life. Prayers continually for strength to endure, love you brother, frfr. Yah's grace is sufficient.
He went through the same thing that artists like Doja Cat is going through. Once you create an image and style that appeals to the masses and sells records, the labels make you a slave to that image, which is usually not really them or it's something they just wanted to do for that time. Artists have to realize that what you put out there, that's what people will want and expect because a lot of people are not that bright. They can't tell fantasy from reality, nor can they appreciate real art and artistry because they stay swimming in their lower natures.
Don't compare him to doja cat. She's a self loathing black person that hates that she has to make music that caters to black people
Dreaming eyes of mine is one of my all time favorites
Same
D’Angelo is Top 2
And ain’t 2.
Truly one of the Best Artist
to Grace our ear waves
Seriously Grateful
for what he’s done for music
On a more serious note
Hyper-visibility can be very overwhelming
especially when your natural disposition is introversion.
And common people
have a hard time genuinely believing talented individuals are introverted
so the demand for the artist to “become” their art is always pressing at their identity
It’s like hearing
“We miss the old you”
Or
“You changed”
Which is really some entitled bullshit
and people really need to stop doing that
but I digress . .
Anyways
Much love for him
Will keep him PRAYED UP
and if he had a concert
I know me and my best friend would be right there saaaaangn’ along 😂😂😂
Thank you D'Angelo for all the great music waiting patiently for more 💜 😊
We all need to be Forgiven at sometime in our lives. That was Excellent 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏼
Am I the only one who never gave a damn what he happen to look like? Call me crazy but the only thing I ever noticed was his music. Every song of his invokes a memory from my mind. His way with words is amazing.
I just wanna see him live 1 time
Thanks for sharing, There’s no light 💡 w/o darkness. Prayers for the strength to continue 💙
DeAngelo is a great person and artist. He just went through being in unfamiliar places in life and hopefully he can remain strong through out the process.
I Loved listening to Deangelo’s music. I hope nothing but the best for him. He’s so very talented. We need the return of real Singers like him, and real music.
This channel seems to have lost its focus. Why not call it “Entertainment Hype” if the content is not strictly comedy related...
Man you took that thought right out of my mind and put it into words... straight up .
Why does this matter so deeply? It's Black News Entertainment...period
I just said this frfr. it's starting to get real messy
@@jshaianne26 because the content is random and also recycled many other black content creators have discussed this topic. The uniqueness of this channel was its niche and focus in producing comedy related content. Now that it’s not consistent or minimal in its initial content focus, why subscribe when the content is no longer original ?
@@jacksingleton288 agreed. Messy and recycled from other content creators.
Great job on the report
D'angelo is a true artist who won't be boxed in.His artistry/passion for music is far more important than being a puppet for the music industry.When he drops his music I'm on board,cause I know it's going to be fiyahhhh!!!
The man narrating the post is damn good!!
This was the only type of r&b that could listen to. I actually bought his CDs.
Dang all those family sacrifices drove him crazy....that is what the music industry requires to make it big!!
I was at his show at the NORVA IN Norfolk Va. with my Queen. Wow, they wouldn't let the brother leave. He came back for like 3 encores and performed more. Super Star to me.
The man who has 3 solid classic albums💿💿💿
Voodoo being my personal favorite🎧
One of my favorite artists back in the day. Waiting on the tour.
To this day Lady is my favorite song
Thanks for sharing
I still listen to D on the regular to help me deal with life. 👑🙌🏾
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

$40 been popular for a long time 😭😭😭😭😭
I hope and pray 🙏🏿 D'Angelo gets the help and support he needs to be successful in life. I loved his music abilities but I also loved him as a human ❤️ maybe he will feel good enough to come back with some more amazing music and songs but if he doesn't I would like for him to keep on living a healthy life. Glad he's still here.
Angie Stone preyed on him and she took advantage of him. He's been so open about that & it's so sad he struggles with that to this day, she was 31 when he was 19 and it completely warped his outlook on life.
She put it on him that what it was
I like this host. he has a great presence and aura! you guys should keep em 👍🏾
D'Angelo was that guy for minute in the late 90s. I love Me and Those Dreaming Eyes of Mine.
Cruising was my joint on his first album and brown sugar
That’s the song that really made me love him, Send it on and I found my smile again
D’Angelo is an icon in music! He made a name for himself and shared his many talents with all of us. He built his career being a musical genius and experienced being on top of the world…then uncontrollably his personal life fell apart. It’s a long, desperate and lonely road back…He didn’t give up and even made more significant contributions to music. Sabotage - No way!
Much Respect!!!
Look like D'Angelo be buyin' Twinkies and milkshakes with his money 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I miss this brother . I hope things get for him, cause his fans need to hear his music again . We'll wait . . . as long as it takes my brother. Peace.
Wow that shit is deep and sad man, this brother is beyond talented too.
LOL, I listen to him everyday. 🤦🤦♀️such a sweetheart of a man & artist. JAMAICA ROCK'S 👌 💛 🇯🇲
I’ve always been a fan… and at age 47 today his station stays on my pandora!
That man ain’t hurt nobody and made great music. Genius.
I love this channel comedy hype because you always give shine to people that the entertainment business may have forgotten but they are real legends you guys really put it down for talented black folks much respect comedy hype! and I love what D'Angelo said about not wanting to be put in a box entitled a neo Soul artist that's understandable because any artist wants to be unlimited to go wherever their creativity and imagination takes them like me for instance I'm a filmmaker I just completed an action film but I'm working on a love story and I may do a comedy after that no creative artist wants to be boxed in so I totally get where D'Angelo is coming from and also any creative no matter what medium they work in are always trying to find a way to connect with the audience and a fan and once you find a way you want to stick with it but if the way that you connect with the audience is a gimmick such as D'Angelo's getting in shape then he's going to doubt whether it's his talent or his body that's attracting people but in his case I think people looked at it more like he was just leveling up from brown sugar and growing such as when Marvin Gaye used to sing with Tammi Terrell and he sounded pretty good but once he came back with what's going on he had a beard he looked different and his vocals were even stronger it was like a leveling up and I think D'Angelo may not have understood that because he is looking at it from a different angle than everybody else is he's looking at it from the aspect of his talent and the responses that he is getting from brown sugar to voodoo so yeah you have to be a creative to understand where he's coming from 👍🏾
Great video! 🙏
