    uughhhhhhhhhhhhh
    can not believe no one mentioned this, to me its the yardstick that every other album since is measured against

    Hey DL,

    I big-upped this CD two pages ago.

    Peace,

    what's the difference between Neo-Soul and the last 10 years of R&B?



    Not all contemporary R&B is "Neo-Soul". While R.Kelly does acknowledge his roots he isnt as referential as the initial Neo-Soul artists who overtly channel the Hathaways/Gaye/Womacks/Flacks/etc.

    Sparkle is a long way from Angie Stone yet they do dovetail in many ways.

    Keshia Coles is different from Floetry IMO.

    I "ride" for her too but both albums are pretty much Paint By Numbers Neo-Soul of its time.

    She actually had some more Jazz influences than her peers but I cant hold these joint up as Dope on a whole.

    If u think so, Do You.

    Nobody mentioned Van Hunt's first album? Aside from the slower ballads maybe, that shit was top-notch.

    Hey,

    on both the "S/T" and "On the Jungle Floor" joints.

    Peace,

  • I????ll check for it, It??s definetly in a dollar bin somewhere.

    Did that Grown and Sexy album ever drop somehow_ That CD that DID come out was pretty tepid.

    Bilal??s ??High and Dry??was my SHIT last year. Dude killed it. And speaking of Bilal??s, this dude Bilal Salaam has some good tracks, haven??t heard the entire album but what I do have is very enjoyable

    and how can I forget THESE

    yeah man, i??m here aaaaaaaaaaaaalll the way to the 7th. i??m starting to get bored and ancy. It feels like i??ve been away for like 2 months as opposed to just to two.

    naw i didn??t know em exactly, but I did recognized them from my local taco buying experience.

    i??ll find out the tracks though.

    The funniest shit was that they dropped Montell??s ??this is how we do it??and Hammer??s ??pumps and a bump??.

    im w/ the anthony hamilton + the van hunt as well

    this song is so hot:


    some of dude's tracks are almost straight up rock music

  • I was mega dissapointed with the avilla bros album. I want you was such a killer soul track and when finally getting the album I could barely finish listening to it.

    I??m on the fence with Spacek. I feel like a lot of his stuff is just okay and a little too much on the minimal off kilter future soul steez. But I never checked his album though

    You know that's this dude all grown up, right?

    I hear you on that, but give "Spaceshift" a listen. That album is hot IMO. It's still got that minimal weirdo soul feel, but it creeps up on you. I find myself revisiting that album a lot. I've got "Curvatia" (the debut) too, but it doesn't get nearly as many spins.

    she wrote 'dip it low' for milian.

    A little older but still classic:

    I never really got into her. I thought Amel was sort of the epitome of snoozy new soul.

    As far as Teedra, she??s from the Town and I haven??t heard from her since that track she did with Raphael Saadiq ?? want you back. The producer for her album is dope, I wonder what else he has done.

    Man, I still haven??t checked out Dwele??s first joint ??Rize??.

    Really slept on album, f'real. She's also Ras Kass' baby's mama.

    Amel's firts album Infinite Possiblities is heat, but she's ventured into some Biege Soul for her latest stuff. Experimental Jazzatronica FolkSoul...

    The first Brandy set. Strong songs and she sang the crap out of them.
    Erykah's stuff has been really patchy after her first set. "Clever" is nice though.
    Jill Scott - "Who Is?" and "Beautifully Human" coe sign. That live set stinks.
    Conya Doss - "Just Because"
    Brown Baby Girl (ST)
    Chaka's "Funk This" has some niceness to it, esp. "Ladies Man".
    DWELE!
    Frank McComb's stuff.
    Gary Taylor - "Retro Blackness" (gets samey though)
    Ledisi "Feeling Orange, Sometimes Blue"
    I class Lewis Taylor's "Lewis II" set as R&B. Don't sleap.
    Me'Shell - "Bitter" is too melancholy for me, but "Plantation Lullabies" and "Peace Beyond Passion" have some sublime music on them.
    Tasha's World (ST) - I think she is Dutch but it's as good as anything else.
    Vivian Green - Vivian

    Adriana Evans - nice but nothing special. She seems to have managed to move her hands a few inches between albums though, so progress on the paralysis front.

    Zhane - too old?

    You could probably get a used CD for like $4

    I was buying the 12s when they came out, and found the CD already cheap as hell when it was practically a new release - maaaaad slept on

    Y'all know about the b-side only joint w/the "Guess Who's Back" beat??
