D’Angelo died earlier this month after a battle with pancreatic cancer. The neo-soul legend left us with a relatively small discography — just three studio albums in 20 years — and his latter two albums, 2000’s Voodoo and 2014’s Black Messiah, both featured the Roots drummer Questlove. Along with fellow Roots member James Poyser and the late J Dilla, D’Angelo and Questlove also co-founded the Soulquarians, a collective of forward-thinking Black musicians that was active from 1999 to 2004. All of that is to say: Questlove has a lot to say about D’Angelo. Today he published a personal essay in Rolling Stone paying tribute to his frequent collaborator and longtime friend.

Yesterday, Billboard deputy editor and Stereogum buddy Andrew Unterberger published a piece with some confusing implications: On last week’s Billboard Hot 100, there were no rap songs in the top 40. The same holds true for this week’s chart. It has been a very, very long since since we saw a Billboard top 40 with zero rap songs — 35 years, in fact. The last time that happened was the week of Feb. 2, 1990, when Biz Markie’s “Just A Friend” was sitting at #41, on its way to peaking at #9. This was the early crossover era, seven months before Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” became the first rap song ever to top the Hot 100. Up until very recently, rap has been a dominant force on the pop charts. But for the past two weeks, it’s been nowhere near the top. That’s weird. What does it mean? View the full article
