Shortly after Bonnaroo, Questlove told Rolling Stone that D'Angelo had recorded nearly 30 tracks at Electric Lady, the same New York studio where the singer cut Voodoo. "He is about to take a radical 180 turn with this record," Questlove said at the time. "It's going to throw people off the same way that Prince's Dirty Mind threw his R&B fanbase off. In the past few years, he's discovered Bowie and Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Pet Sounds, Captain Beefheart and Zappa." At the time, Questlove said that the musician was experimenting with guitar arrangements and creating his own keyboard sounds.

In January 2013, Questlove told Billboard that D'Angelo's album was "99 percent done." "I would not be far off by saying this is probably my generation's version of Sly [and the Family Stone's] There's a Riot Goin' On," the drummer said. "It's potent. It's funky. It's an extremely hard pill to swallow.

"It's going to take you about 10 years to digest this record," he added. "Totally brilliant. Just the way this society works with music...being able to judge if something is a classic after the first listen, you can do that after 30 seconds on this. And the fact that we started this record in 2004, and it still sounds like it came out five years from now, it is a testament to the timelessness of it."

In a June interview, Liles said that the Bonnaroo show inspired D'Angelo to want to finish the album. "He very bluntly put it, 'Kev, the studio and the stage: that's my lifeblood. Now that I've touched it again, now that I see it again, I wanna be sure that the baby I'm about to have – the album – that I take it to the point where it's all it can be.'"

I know yall love the ngga but i dont really fuk wit Questlove ol 'im the gatekeeper to your good music' ass. Feel like i've read similar shyt from him about a couple artists

And thats like 5 'experimental' tags in that interview im gonna temper my expectations

Bruh I know you got your small squabbles with ?uest but don't underestimate his wizardry when it comes to sound engineering and producing

I'll take his word based on the quality of production on the last 3 The Roots albums and his contribution to Voodoo as part of The Ummah.. .

It seems like this is gonna be a revolutionary - pro black type album. If it's anything like this it's gonna be crazy, especially if he's on his God body shit, dropping 5%er jewels...


Aint no justice

It's Just us

Ashes 2 ashes

Dust 2 dust

Time has come for most of us

2 choose in which God we trust

I know I was born 2 die

Searching 2 find

Piece of mind

With eighty five dumb and blind

There can be no compromise
