D’Angelo had cracked the door to a different kind of masculinity: laid-back yet attentive, stoic yet loving, a confessional tone conveying lust, romance, heartbreak, and devotion pitchfork.com/features/after…

the soulquarians behind the scenes of their photoshoot for vibe magazine in 2000 is one of the most special pieces of footage ever. long live d’angelo, j dilla, and roy hargrove

Questlove on the motivation for D'Angelo's 'Voodoo': "D and I sat down and listened to it, and we both admitted that this was our audition tape for Prince. I think this album was made to show him that we’re capable of collaborating with him." rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…

Rest in peace, D’Angelo… Today, the music world is mourning the loss of a true soul pioneer. According to multiple reports, the legendary singer Michael Eugene Archer, better known as D’Angelo, has died at the age of 51 after a quiet battle with pancreatic cancer. From his breakthrough debut Brown Sugar to the richly complex Voodoo and his long-awaited return with Black Messiah, D’Angelo’s work changed the shape of modern R&B and neo-soul. He blurred lines between genres — infusing gospel, funk, jazz, hip-hop — always with a raw emotional core. He wasn’t just an artist; he was a guiding light. His legacy will live on in every artist who strives for authenticity, depth, and a connection beyond the mainstream. To his family, his children, his collaborators, and every fan whose heart he touched — may you find strength in his music, comfort in memories, and peace in the knowledge that his voice will echo forever. Rest well, D.

This list reflects the sincere love, awe, and excitement for all the rap that has entered our lives pitchfork.com/features/lists…
