This song got me suspended my senior year in high school. The school had a lip sync contest, and this is what I performed. Well. HALF performed. I stood in a big refrigerator box in the middle of the stage. Simulating a particular activity on a particular part of the song is what did it. But I came back to school after three days and had girls paying attention to me who hadn’t before.
He was the total musical offspring a straight line from Prince. The fact that his favorite Prince song is "Movie Star" a bootleg from 1986 (Later released officially on a set called Crystal Ball in 1998) says everything about D'Angelo as an artist. In the forefront of the Neo-Soul movement, where "The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker" is the birth of the movement. D'Angelo did a cover of Prince "Sometimes It Snows in April" on Jimmy Fallon when he just passed away and almost fell into tears.
@@EmpressReacts I forgot, he also made a cover of Prince's B-Side(!) "She's Always In My Hair" for the Scream 2 soundtrack. That B-Side from 1985 was ranked at number #7 at the Top 20 Prince songs of all time in a fan survey for The Peach and Black podcast, the biggest poll by fans, a goddamn B-Side, that's how good he was. That song has one of Prince's Signature guitar GOD moments. Play other Pop music from that year and then put on She's always in my Hair. Nothing sounds like it and it's miles above everyone in the soundscape and just experimental and unbelievable production. Still, to this fucking date.
I'm not sure of your AGE but I was in the 7th grade when this came. This video was so big.He was the biggest male rnb star at that time besides usher and joe. You dont hear much about deangleo now. But this was a major album for him He and lauren hill hardly make appearances or do follow up songs! HAVE FUN!
Seeing this as a young child all over the music video channels was… a memory. 😅 This video was a big deal when it came out… I remember not understanding what abs looked like. Great first into puberty for sure.
I had my vision when this video came out and I was like holy smokes lol lower please lower lol I use to stand in front of my TV and look down hoping I could see something else🥵🥵🥵🥵🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have been very fit in my life, sport every day, many workouts per day BUT !!! That's one hell of a body and ... I never had a back that looked like that .... Kudos that Man !
This was the one. This one was the one I had NO BUSINESS listening to because I was in high school at the time but oh my goodness GRACIOUS!!!! I couldn’t help it!!😩😩😩😩
I just remember My friends( girls) and me,.... DROOL over this video. The song is amazing,... and the Video,.....................what can I say. Perfection.
Seriously one of the most suprising and best live performances I’ve ever seen in my life mostly because how amazing he is at guitar. He didn’t play this song and I was pissed at the time but looking back I just can’t be he’s so talented
yes gawd... he was so sexy and handsome too. like sometimes you either get a face or a body...but this delectable dude had both...oh and he might be able to carry a tune as well
Shit ain't fair. Dude is maybe one of the most talented musicians in the last 30 years, and he looks like that? The fuck? Voodoo still gets plenty of rotation to this day, timeless classic.
So i loved Prince first. Saw him in 1983 for the first time performing little red Corvette. It was love/obsession at first sight. I didn't think much of DeAngelo when he first started out. I did like the song lady. But when THIS song came out, he got my attention 😳🫣😂 i can't believe i didn't compare him to prince before. I wasn't aware of the similarities but now that i have listened and watched again, yeowzah! There is definitely a clear influence there. i saw him in concert soon after this song was released. He jumped off the stage into the crowd and nobody caught him! It was terrible and i felt so bad for him. Still loved him. And your reaction was great!
When I first saw it I couldn't move my eyes away from the tv. I was 26 at the time. Damn I had never seen a more sexier man in my life. Delicious milk chocolate mi seh. 🤪🤪🤪🤪
This was the Egyptian a.k.a. Kemetite god Osiris energy. Shortly after they got rid of him for that. But from what I hear, he made a comeback. I’m in my mid-40s and I was a teenager when this came out. This Brotha f it up for everyone else because the girls were going crazy. I had to learn how to sing just to get in the game.😅 he’s the one that played all those instruments
Im Really AMAZed that yawl didnt get it....ofcourse on the production side...his ppl had to be gungho about the obvious part- cuz s e x sells...but theres a deeper meaning to the lyrics AND the video..to know the TRUEST meaning of this video/song...you have to appreciate what it means to be a man...God iwred us in a certain way...most of us dont know how to experess ourselves like women do when it comes to taking off the macho mask...or the cool pride of our "in control" swagg......the ego that makes us not wana cry in front of others if its a tear jerking movie...but when a man offers his woman the side of him thats-Not "vulnerable" like many ppl would call it...but "I" say its not vulnerable...but the part of him that SHE HAS earned..to see his side that trusts her maternal...her nurturing...the Momma inside her that would hold him tighter and wipe away his tears and NOT tell his friends that he cried during that part Forrest ran back to rescue Bubba....I say its not "vulnerable" because you wouldnt tell a son he's being "vulnerable" when he cries to his source of nurturing...and when a man..a REAL man ..Loves a woman...a Real Woman...he needs that part of her that IS "Momma-like" cuz all Real men admit they love their Mothers (or wish they had a Mother figure to nurture them in watever way)...this is why we look for certain qualities our Granmas or Mothers had- cuz That was our 1st taste of love..our 1st love...our 1st bandaid on that knee when we crashed from the skateboard or our bike...our 1st meal-that 1st loving interaction was with our Mothers/GrandMothers.....but because REAL men value whats UNcommon...every chic dont get that side of us...he's offering her his truest..unmasked self to her...not hiding Anything....its a double entondre too...he's telling her he needs her to take off HER "clothes" too..or he'll Help her take them off..literally and symbolically too....he's asking her How does it feel to have a man want you in this way....to have a man that aint afraid to take you there BECAUSE theres no walls between us,...He's ready to open up and share ALL of himself with her....ppl hide behind lies and images and justifications to not commit all the time...Thats the Real meaning of the song.
@@saucy05 That's were we disagree. "Black Messiah" is his most political album, and musically incredibly complex. This video might be of interest to you: ruclips.net/video/SzZ00MsomL8/видео.html
Thank you . I love hom. My mlm always wabts me to vovder thr TV when he is on. And i m likd im 53 i wss youbg when the song csme and se locex ut and i still do. God blesx hkm fior this bracenexx. Todsys music our girls are nakec nlbody is complzininv
Actually fam he didn’t even like performing this song. He always wanted to be remembered for his artistry and not his physique. His fans know that he’s shy and a introvert. His Black Messiah is another masterpiece.
I'm gonna keep it PG, but word was that he was getting some love during this video. Don't know how true that is but if you watch how he looks down... lol.
Lol girl, that video was one of the most requested back in the day when you could request them! It had women and men in their feelings 😂
Sis called him a vintage snack 😂
Yeah I caught that vintage snack comment as well,her reaction was Ginuwine 👍

Guuuurrll! D'Angelo was nothing short of walking poetry!!💫
Okay 🔥🥰
🤣 Oh D’Angelo. Imma just quote my boy 50 cent “That boy D'Angelo he determined not to fail, that n**** went butt-a** for his record to sell”. 😂

@@ulf1831he also made a cover of Prince’s song “Pop Life” but they never released it.
that is a beautiful man, and I love how he displays emotion by the end of the video...it feels honest
I have to say I'm loving that the younger generation is getting into the real music of R&B in the grown and sexy music
Legendary producer Raphael Saadiq played guitar and bass on this track. Keys and drums were recorded by D’Angelo himself. 🐐🐐🐐
🔥
I thought Pino played bass…

Oh baby girl you just don’t know when this video came out in the late 90s a sight to see that’s all I have to say
This what the ladies need to be hearing on the radio stations you would be amazed how music drive people in a positive way or a negative way

D'Angelo has a GEOURGOUS VOICE!
Shout to Him and Angie Stone who share a child.
I would love to hear him, and FANTASIA do a duet?
COULD WE IMAGINE??
That would be EPIC!!!!
Whew. Talk about ear candy, and mouth watering visuals.
Seriously one of the most suprising and best live performances I’ve ever seen in my life mostly because how amazing he is at guitar. He didn’t play this song and I was pissed at the time but looking back I just can’t be he’s so talented
I was a little kid when this came out ! But I was still in awee Geesh ! I was like when I grow up I want a man like him 🫠🫠🫠

Think about it. Way before A.I. This is real.
I like that she got the concept
I fell in love! That is all I have to say!
Really love your reaction❤
Thanks! Hope u sub
Prince was his idol and he was sick of the music industry because he was known for his body more than his talent and it upset him. What a talent
I can def hear the influence
😂 I was in the ‘ohhhh I like boys’ camp when this video came out
His voice sounds like cornbread and collard greens .
Shit ain't fair. Dude is maybe one of the most talented musicians in the last 30 years, and he looks like that? The fuck? Voodoo still gets plenty of rotation to this day, timeless classic.
Empress this is beautiful and fine music!!!...love it..great artistica D'angelo...🔥🔥💓
💯💯
Look at you all giddy
Chocolate deliciousness, vintage snack , tens across the board 😂😂😂
Oh yes! 🙌🏾
YUMMY.
He played all instruments just like Prince. The best Prince song he never wrote.
Loved the reaction ❤

Back when this video was out ...they played this too death ...and he was hot quick ...
Funny you called him a thugged out Prince cuz that was his musical idol.
😂oh wow
It had people looking upside down at the screen.
😂😂
When this video came out….🤪.
This channel is underrated
thank u!
He wasn't comfortable to do that video. His record label basically push him to do it
After all these years I never knew that
@@beckah763people wanting him to take his shirt off all the time, messed up his confidence in his music.
I think he went on depression because of it cause he got fat for a while and went back to this lol @@mostmost1
When I first saw it I couldn't move my eyes away from the tv. I was 26 at the time. Damn I had never seen a more sexier man in my life. Delicious milk chocolate mi seh. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

When this song came out he raised the bar on what it took to get a woman. Had guys hitting the gym and getting cornrows
😂😂love it
He sounds like a young Al Green

Never heard of D'Angelo? Damn lady you missing out. His two albums (Brown sugar and Voodoo) are one of the best Rnb albums ever!
