Fun Fact: RZA met the owner of the Speed Racer cartoon while in Tokyo. He happened to be a huge fan of The Wu, so he allowed them to use any footage they wanted for it, making it the first rap anime music video on US television

when i interviewed darkchild he gave really fascinating insight into michael's mindset making this album:

"[michael] said 'i hate primitive kicks and snares & the primitive bass sounds that everybody uses...the same way thomas edison was an inventor, we need to invent sounds'"

Speaking of Gary Harris, before he signed D’Angelo to EMI Records, he signed Color Me Badd to Giant. While Gary was proud of this massive hit, he was so much prouder to discover and nurture D’Angelo, a true musical genius, who reflected Gary’s soul and sophisticated taste.

The “guy who signed him” was my mentor and friend, Gary Harris. Gary was an A&R guy at EMI Records, after a stint as a promo guy at SugarHill Records. Gary had incredible ears and so much soul. Signing D’Angelo was a source of enormous pride for Gary, so I am saying his name.
