Sorry to hear of the passing today of D'Angelo. Quite rightly a lot of obituaries focusing on his sexy neo-soul, but some tough politics in there too. His 2010 album 'Black Messiah' is a classic of radical black liberation theology, the track '1000 deaths' including a sample from murdered Chicago Black Panthers leader Fred Hampton:
'Because the people that we're asking for peace
They′re a bunch of megalomaniac war-mongers and they don't even understand what peace means
But we′ve got to fight 'em, we've for to struggle with them
To make them understand what peace means'
