But while many today think of it as a masterpiece, it seems we still haven't figured out how to make sense of \u003cem\u003eVoodoo\u003c\/em\u003e: what box to place it in, how to pay it the respect it deserves, all the nuance and depth of a young black artist making a previous generation's black music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVoodoo\u003c\/em\u003e is so many things. It is jazz, soul and funk all at once. You can hear hip-hop's footprint in some of the songs, but it never dominates. While the influence of Prince and Funkadelic and Marvin Gaye is there on every track, it draws just as much inspiration from Hendrix and The Beatles. And for the artist, it was such an important statement that he waited nearly 15 years to follow it up. If it took time to see that \u003cem\u003eVoodoo\u003c\/em\u003e didn't live in the same music world as its peers in 2000, by now it has stopped feeling vintage — and started feeling timeless. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/01\/24\/799077393\/dangelo-voodoo-2020-anniversary-how-does-it-feel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNPR\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2lO9yuuIDgBpSJzxTh3ai8?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel:  Virgin\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue\u003cbr\u003eCountry:US\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2015 \/ Original: 2000\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Funk\/Soul, Hip Hop\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Soul, Funk, Neo Soul, Male Vocals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under:  Hip Hop\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virgin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42615566401694,"sku":"602547240842","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/dangelo-voodoo-vinyl-reissue-2000x2000.png?v=1709707028","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/dangelo-voodoo","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
