D’Angelo to Rolling Stone in 2015:

“The music business is a crazy game, especially for somebody like me who is really a purist about the art … Trying to balance the pressures of commercialism, it’s a tightrope.”

My friend Gary Harris brought this musician named D’Angelo over to my NYC apt. He was trying to figure out what to do with the music he’d brought with him. I listened to every cut…not just out of respect but because it was smoking. At the end of the encounter he asked me, “What should I do with it?”

I remember this as if it were yesterday. I said, “Put it out. It’s perfect!” Being the #artist he is, I guess he had to explore some ways to make it better.

About a year later I heard one of those songs on the radio. It was #genius and it was exactly what he had played for me. I know…I still have the original cassette. ~Nile Rodgers❤️🙏🏾✊🏾

D’Angelo’s Prince tribute was the only one that moved me to tears, the way he got choked up. He was truly his greatest musical son.

This can’t be life. D’Angelo was one of my favorite R&B artists growing up
In the 1990s. His music will forever be legendary. #RIPDangelo https://t.co/XqcDmr7Gdz

Rest in Power, D’Angelo 🕊️

A true Maestro — his voice, vision, & spirit reshaped the sound of a generation.

He didn’t just make music — he built a language of soul, rooted in tradition but entirely his own.

Fly high, D’.

    What is the point of any of this? Just take a step back from your politics and ask yourself why are heavily armed masked men in military uniforms standing on the streets of a U.S. city chasing people who say mean things to them? This is America not Moscow.

    There it is. His final move to remove women from the roles they have fought to gain. Pete isn’t a Ranger because dozens of women are he wants to tear down their accomplishments. What a weak small man.

    They dismantled the one agency that was focused exclusively on helping average Americans being abused by banks and fraudulent lenders. It was their first priority. I had a great chat with former director of CFPB for @OnDemocracyPod on @MeidasTouch this week. https://t.co/K5hHf1gxGt

    May the protests today be:
    Large
    Full of inflatable costumes
    Lots of dance parties
    More than enough mockery
    And DEVOID OF US …CAUSE WE ARE STILL RESTING 🧐🧐🧐
