Why always so much talk about a Voodoo followup, I'm still waiting for the follow up to Brown Sugar, it's been 20 years.
why do they have to subtitle is "longreads or whatever"why
why

And how is that Christgau quote anything other than bullshit? This place is hilarious sometimes.

i'm not sure you understand what a follow-up is

im not sure you do

ok let's just agree to be unsure
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 6 October 2014 20:03 (nine years ago) link
was E.T a follow up to Raiders of the lost ark?
― Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 6 October 2014 20:05 (nine years ago) link
yes. it's the next major work by the same person (and in music, using the same name). i think you're looking for "sequel"? and sequel albums are usually shitty.
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 6 October 2014 20:11 (nine years ago) link
You're talking about the noun follow up, I'm talking about adjective follow up. Adj. follow up as to relate to, reinforce, evaluate, a previous action. That's not the same as a sequel. Voodoo was not a follow up to Brown Sugar. Any more than Purple Rain was a follow up to Controversy.

There's no indication that this new album will be a follow-up to Voodoo in the sense that you're talking about so what exactly is your point?
― tsrobodo, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 12:40 (nine years ago) link
who has actually made a 'follow-up' album in the sense you're talking about? unless the songs are actually from the same sessions, i don't even know what that would mean. was The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse really a follow-up to The Blueprint?
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 October 2014 13:53 (nine years ago) link
I said I was still waiting for a Brown Sugar follow up, 'what exactly is your point?'
In pop music history? You want me to list the 1000s of albums that fit?
Not sure what's setting you off with the statement "im still waiting for a follow up to Brown Sugar", as in, I like Brown Sugar D'Angleo more than Voodoo D'Angelo and I wouldn't have minded him revisiting that sound.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 14:32 (nine years ago) link
ok good luck with that, since it's not usually how art or time works (although i guess it is how Rick Rubin works).
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 October 2014 14:58 (nine years ago) link
I didn't say it's how it works but people like what they like. You seem to have a problem with me preferring Brown Sugar. Do I respect Prince's current music? Yes. Do I prefer him on Dirty Mind and Controversy? Yes. Would I have liked more Brown Sugar D'Angelo? Yes. Get over it? Yes.
Meanwhile keep co-signing foolish critics saying shit like "he doesn't have the profile of a genius, he has the profile of a unreliable artist"
― Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 15:40 (nine years ago) link
ha, ok man.
i didn't say anything about this? i think he's an unreliable genius fwiw (which is nothing).

in the music business it's common to refer to an album that comes directly after another album "the followup" to that previous album. Raccoon Tanuki has his own place where people don't actually use that term and anybody who does get called out. you gotta watch your goddamn mouth around Raccoon Tanuki

Brown Sugar > Voodoo though we're all agreed on that.

you used the term as a noun yanno
When will we get a follow up to nouns?

kinda tired of waiting tbh
I saw this guy live on tuesday night which was a bucket list gig for me - it's the first time he's ever played in Australia. He was 70 minutes late and elongated all the songs to ridiculous lengths (I feel like Untitled lasted 15 minutes or something), but it was totally glorious, one of the best shows I've seen in ages.
Unfortunately I don't think anyone's written about it yet, the only article I've seen on the show is from TMZ making cheap shots about his weight - which, well, he doesn't look like he did in the Untitled video anymore but we've known that for years, and he seemed happy, healthy enough and uninhibited to me.
I was standing just in front of the VIP section where I noticed Angie Stone lurking at one point.

i first saw rumblings about this on twitter, unattributed, and thought it was new kanye, got really excited - this is arguably more unexpected, and also v fucking cool
still a little bummed it's not kanye tho, not gonna lie

Black Messiah is a good/intriguing title for indicating where D'Angelo is going with this record but as a Kanye title it would just seem kind of on-the-nose and redundant with Yeezus imo
― some dude, Friday, 12 December 2014 21:52 (nine years ago) link
so every December we're gonna have messiahs, it seems!

xp oh absolutely. my brain just immediately went to kanye rather than d'angelo because to be quite honest i never thought we'd hear anything from the man again, questlove rumors or no questlove rumors

me too.
he's had a steady live band (chris dave on drums, pino, etc) but it sounds like it's a different crew in the studio (some ?uestlove drum tracks, some James Gadson {which i can't wait to hear}, etc).
