In his own words, @questlove remembers his friend, collaborator and brother, D’Angelo.
“D’Angelo, to me, was one of the last pure artists in Black music.”

People need reflection.
I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.
You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.
“When we decline to speak ill of the dead, it’s because we have compassion for the living. In this respect, I am sorry for Kirk’s children. I don’t know if Kirk was a good father, but if he was, that does little to mitigate the damage he did to other people’s children.”
Keir Starmer has paused his meeting with the Israeli prime minister who autographs bombs to be dropped Gaza to tell us there can be no justification for political violence.
This isn't about flags, or about asylum policy. It's about far-right street thugs being able to intimidate, harass, and assault whoever they want using the cover of 'legitimate concerns'. And it's astonishing that the Prime Minister can't bring himself to condemn any of it.
Again, pretending to find a conscience now, as we enter the endgame stage of a genocide you did PR for, is not going to wash.
The BBC should never be forgiven for its complicity, its self-censorship, and how it allowed itself to be pushed around by lobbyists to hide the truth.
Funny how none of the rightwing accounts in the US, including Musk’s, who were screaming about the lack of free speech in the UK a few months ago when people were being imprisoned for inciting riots, have nothing to say about this:
It took me 3 days to get past this INTRO. I rewound it for DAYS because of the indescribable feeling it gave me. Took me at least 5/6 days to listen to the whole song. I cried like a baby when I heard it live. I could absolutely live here. D’Angelo forever, like seriously.
