D'Angelo

D'Angelo

D'Angelo (born Michael Eugene Archer, February 11, 1974), is a Grammy Award winning American soul singer, pianist, guitarist, songwriter, and record producer. D'Angelo is known for his production and songwriting talents as much as for his vocal abilities, and often draws comparisons to his influences, Marvin Gaye, and Prince. He has himself influenced the sound of modern R&B, particularly neo-soul. D'Angelo has a son named Michael by former girlfriend R&B singer Angie Stone. Rock critic Robert Christgau has described him as "R&B Jesus" [1]. He was born in Richmond, Virginia, the son of a Pentecostal preacher, and began performing as a young child. By his late teens he had signed a songwriting deal with EMI, and penned the hit song "U Will Know", performed by Black Men United for the Jason's Lyric motion picture soundtrack. Shortly after, he began recording his debut album, Brown Sugar, which was released in June of 1995. Though sales were sluggish at first, the album was eventually a hit, in large part to "Lady," a Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, peaking at #10, and helped kickstart the burgeoning neo soul singers of the 1990s (along with Maxwell, Erykah Badu and others). The album was a critical success as well, and appeared on many critics' "best of" lists for the year.

Letra de Devil's Pie (A Cappella Interlude)
(Chorus)
Fuck the slice, we want the pie
why ask why till we fry
watch us all stand in line
for a slice of the devils pie
drugs and thugs, women and wine
three or four at a time
watch them stand all in line
for a slice of the devils pie

who am i to justify
all the evil in our eye
when i myself feel the high
from all that i despise
behind the jail or in the grave
i have to lay in this bed i made
if i die b4 i wake
hope the lord dont hesitate
2 get 2 heaven done been through hell
tell my peeps all is well
all them fools whos souls 4 sale
sitting next to the jezebel

demons screamin in my ear
all my anger all my fear
if i holla let them hear
in this spinning sphere

(chorus)

main ingredients to this dish
goes like this
heres the list
materialistic, greed and lust, jealousy, envious
bread and dough, chedda cheese, flash and stash, cash and cream
temperatures at a high degree
wheres niggaz come to feast
hells this all about
apocolypse aint no doubt

everbody's ho'ing out all the loot, all the clout
right or wrong
do or die
only the vengance will pacify
watch your back and so will i
in these days and time

(chorus)

aint no justice
just us
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
time has come for most of us
2 choose in which god we trust
i know i was born to die
searching to find
piece of mind
with eighty five dumb and blind
there can be no compromise
