Explain plz? Idk much about Bilal, but his vocals are mishandled in this mix for sure. A decent performance, but he is so compressed and loud, it's like he's singing alone with a whisper of drums and keys (which mostly seem to be on loop despite being live lol)
don't blame the industry....the fans dictate what the industry does....you know what else was insane....the boot leg era, then Napster...These artists needed the market to keep them afloat...did we do our part? Truthfully, I didn't. incredible music....
1st Born Second is a great album. This album, if you can find on the underground is just as great. Better, even, if it were mastered in a studio. It’s called “Love for Sale”. You can find it on RUclips.
OMG. I’m so glad somebody said it. I didn’t want to get canceled 😂😂😂 I think in a room full of artists, D’Angelo and Bilal are the Prince to their MJ… but in that small group of artist that were considered Neo Soul if it were just D’Angelo and Bilal in the room alone, D would be the MJ and Bilal would still be Prince.
I admire the connection that you're trying to make between the two,and I've been a Bilal fan since the 90s..I'm sorry but there is no artists living or dead,that can be compared to Prince.. With that being said,there are no artists alive or dead who can compare to Bilal.. They are/were men of exception and totally unique.
Correction: Your comment underrates Bilal. He is on a different league to Dwele. Eric Roberson might be able to just hold Ip some sort of resistance but In Bilal we have possibly arguably the best rnb male singer alive.
@@juejueknew1273 never mind my opinion your chatting fart and know nothing about FACTS! Clearly a Drake fanbwouy! Clearly don’t get us! Still it’s not your fault! We can’t all hear Jimmy. Ya feel me..
@@juejueknew1273 No mate a fact isn’t an opinion. Less of the ego and emotion. Unless that is that you can’t hear Jimmy or lack the African rhythms. Still it’s not your fault
I NEVER heard anything about this "Love For Sale" album... A thousand thank you's for everybody who mentioned it. I haven't heard an R+B album that good since Voodoo.
As someone who heard the leaked album back in 2006, heard all these RUclips covers of “White Turns to Grey” and “Lord Dont Let It”, resonated so hard with “All For Love” years later, seeing dope live performances & guitar solos of “Gotsta Be” and “Make Me Over” in his shows, hearing that someone who likes Bilal never heard of it is why I HATE THE MUSIC “INDUSTRY” WITH A PASSION. But! Better late than never at least.
Bilal is one of my favorite artist! And because industry throws away a great deal of talent that won't go along with their wickedness we miss out on great artists producing exceptional music...
Bilal arguably the best rnb/jazz/Neo soul singer alive. Updated How could we not include OMAR? I think he can challenge Bilal fir that mantle. Also Rashan Patterson closest thing to MJ the voice of an angel and nothing has come close to matching it since his untimely death.
LOVE FOR SALE - Bilal & THE POPULAR MACHINE - Van Hunt… two unreleased albums that changed the lives of those who had them both! The Van Hunt injustice was corrected. Waiting on emancipation of Bilal album.
Very very grateful to have seen Bilal live (many times with Robert Glasper on keys) singing cuts from First Born Second & Love For Sale at The Highline Ballroom in NYC. ✨✨✨
was fortunate enough to grab "love for sale" back when it was originally... ahem... "leaked"... one of my favorite albums of all time. "all for love" "make me over" "white turns to grey" and this song are my go to tracks. man... how do i get in this room?
Bilal will always be a gem. A gem that you don’t want the whole world to know because he’s that’s special. I don’t tell everyone who I listen to, I tell certain people who are dear to me because that’s how precious music is too me. Bilal is Bilal and there will never be another he stands firm on his own. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I will forever love, respect, and honor you n your work. I need this sound. It touches my soul n feeds it. So beautiful❤ this sound is something i will hold to💯💪🏾😉🙏🏾thank you for continuing to share you gifts
From my understanding Bilal is somewhat complex just like many other deep conscioused artists. That typically eventually makes their work hard to consume for the masses. A perfect example of this is Bilal's last lp. Give it a listen. You'll see. Make no mistake, Bilal is ultra talented and definitely a gift to the music industry. His artistry is a reflection of his personal complexity and those that get it, get it. Those that dont, oh well 🤷
That Was Simply Dope. From Bilal's Singing To All The Musicians, Especially The Pianist. I Never Saw One Take That Approach, It Was Very Different and Original. 💯

One of the tragic blunders in music history... the mishandling of Bilal Oliver by the industry
Exactly. Very unfortunate.
Facts On Facts‼️
So true...

Say that
That neo-soul era was insane. The industry really missed an opportunity with bilal.
First born second is a classic. One of the best albums I've ever heard in any musical genre.
Yes. Where us that groove❤❤
They missed an opportunity to capitalize financially. This brotha is always touring and making music. Blessing in disguise
didn't miss anything he still cooking magic
don't blame the industry....the fans dictate what the industry does....you know what else was insane....the boot leg era, then Napster...These artists needed the market to keep them afloat...did we do our part? Truthfully, I didn't. incredible music....
That First Born Second album still gets played once a week in my house!
Shonuff
Absolutely!! such an underrated album and in my opinion one of the best albums ever made.
BRUH!!! Sometimes, Love it, Queen of Sanity, Soul Sista, When will you call.
Classic 🔥 Album!!!
Absolutely. That's my Guy!

Bilal is like a Neo Soul version of Prince. I definitely hear the influence in his vocals
OMG. I’m so glad somebody said it. I didn’t want to get canceled 😂😂😂 I think in a room full of artists, D’Angelo and Bilal are the Prince to their MJ… but in that small group of artist that were considered Neo Soul if it were just D’Angelo and Bilal in the room alone, D would be the MJ and Bilal would still be Prince.
If thats the case, then who is D'Angelo?

Bilal Dwele Eric Roberson n one other artist are so underrated n underappreciated for their talent. Will take this music any day anytime❤❤❤beautiful

@etiennebunbury1285 take yo ignorant azz on. Go argue with yo mammy or yo kids. I said what I said I meant what I said. Go correct ur mental state
Bilal is one of the very few artists who has been able to maintain his authenticity throughout the years…NOBODY DOES IT LIKE HIM🙌🏽
He casually BODIED this sh*t!!!!!👋
Facts
"Love For Sale" is the album that if it had been newly released in today's musical climate...would still be the instant classic it was back then...
It was his Voodoo
To this day still listening to it
Got a promo copy of it
Re-released? It was never actually released!!! Ha ha ha. But I get what you are saying.
@@ronlg with all due respect, I think you may have read that wrong. Seems like everyone here knows the story....
Bilal is mistakenly underrated and overlooked!
WHEN I SAY....CHILE....THIS MAN'S VOICE....
I’m glad Bilal wasn’t tainted by the industry.
Bilal is a national treasure
It was suppose to happen the way that it happened…i’ll take it shout out to Robert Glasper include Bilal on every album he’s special!!!!!
glad he got his grammy.
Bilal is a goat who unfortunatey most dont even know it✊🏾 When/Where my 👑Soulquarians Album?👑
I totally agree with you!!!
😍Mr. Bilal by the looks of these comments U STILL GOT FANS OUT HERE IN THESE STREETS 😍JUST KEEP BLOWING 🤩😍🥰😘
Absolutely. I love this Man .
3:53 I hear that Bobby Womack “A Woman’s Got to Have It” reference. Brother Bilal!!!! You better sang!!!!! 😍🤩😍

My dream would be a duet album with him and Jazmine Sullivan, two very underrated vocalists.
Ppl slept on him & Beyonce too!!
The last time he came to Dallas it was not enough people in the venue but it was the right people there to support and enjoy
Agree with comments....this guy is so talented.
Under rated
This song will forever be my top 3
it’s just perfect.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤌
Imagine the magic in Electric Lady during this era 🤯
Real music dominates
Bilal is arguably one of the greatest artists of our time. The cadence, the delivery, the tone, the melody, the range…chef’s kiss!
Bilal arguably the best rnb/jazz/Neo soul singer alive.
Updated
How could we not include OMAR? I think he can challenge Bilal fir that mantle. Also Rashan Patterson closest thing to MJ the voice of an angel and nothing has come close to matching it since his untimely death.
💥
Love Bilal!!! One of my favorite singers from the start!!!! Saw him live a couple times in Chicago years ago!
@@mikebcreative yes king! He’s still young considering I was going to watch him in my late teens and I’m now 44
Come on...Maxwell!
and his band better too 😅
Seeing him live is a spiritual experience!
Bilal is insane man what a talent !
Bilal; Robert Glasper's piano/ keyboard; that dope bassline; and the drummer. Damn great session! -theWarrior
The cadence is magnificent with this piece of work and Bilal never disappoints. His voice is an instrument m, blending perfectly. In The Pocket!
🙏🏼🙏🏽
Bilal’s first album is so incredible, I use it as a way to measure people by. His second being shelved still irritates my immortal soul!
Absolutely FACTS!!!
1st born 2nd no skips @ all.
NONE 🔥
I think it got leaked that's why. Could be wrong
Burniss Travis is working that Bass......
Wasn’t always feeling his voice, but Bilal got so much dang soul, and so much cool with how he works his way across a groove and thru a song. Dope!
That voice sents us 🚀
Classic album ....then and now!
His first album is a classic. Second born
LOVE FOR SALE - Bilal & THE POPULAR MACHINE - Van Hunt… two unreleased albums that changed the lives of those who had them both! The Van Hunt injustice was corrected. Waiting on emancipation of Bilal album.

This man talent is otherworldly 🌍

“Love For Sale” is sublime This performance highlights the genius of that album. .
Something to hold on to 🎶🎶❤️

in middle school I would listen to Bilal's first album "First Born Second", on repeat - his music speaks to people of ALL ages & walks of life 🎉
Perfection!!!
Love for Sale is a complete masterpiece. His voice is so clear and pure!
Love 4 Sale changed my life
I keep a copy of Love for sale on all my devices just in case something happens to it.

Just found this page today! I adore you Bilal! Neo-soul baby here! 👋🏾
He's got that super saiyan voice
He's Prince Rogers Nelson vocally post-modern/neo-soul era!
@@TheReal_E.IRIZARRYThat’s correct
That Was Simply Dope. From Bilal's Singing To All The Musicians, Especially The Pianist. I Never Saw One Take That Approach, It Was Very Different and Original. 💯
Glasper is truly a genius.
"Love for Sale" forever
Bilal need to gone head and release the love for sale album it still hold weight
You sound like the Ancestors!
Bilal is one of my faves!!!! I’m so glad this came across my feed❤❤❤❤
Prince is still alive and fell into smooth Jazz Vibes❤

Bilal is the complete & whole truth! ❤👍🏽
This audience is blessed! 🥰
Ain’t they??!!!
what a dream to be there, this captures the essence of the live experience so well.
They blessed my ears ❤
"You make me feel stingy and whatnot" Yes! Get it, Bilal!
One of my two favorite lines from this song!
@@glasshauspresents The whole performance was great. Bilal was feeling himself 😁. This will definitely be on repeat for a while.
@@lahopkins9746 thank you! Stay tuned for much more ❤️
This instrumental is so soulful
Phenomenal! Bilal is truly underrated!
If they ever do a life movie of Prince, for me it would have to be Bilal, no question! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bilal was definitely done wrong on his Love For Sale album. He’s definitely a pioneer in Neo Soul era!
True, there’s no such thing as neo soul… Soul isn’t new
Could this year finally be the year Bilal gets to roll this out officially?
Hopefully this project helps to encourage that!
@@glasshauspresents hopefully he owns the rights to it now 🤷♀️
I wish they had shown some more of Boom, who is absolutely killing it on the bass.
ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!!!!!!!
Whole set next level… Stage full of musical geniuses
We love Bilal!!! ❤
Ooooh, not the Bobby Womack🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤
Nice catch!
Love for sale coming back?!! Yesss all older studio versions are on RUclips. It’s like my fav album of his and it’s been unreleased.
I have been listening to this non-stop. I wish I had been in the bldg for this performance. Looking forward to seeing him in October
