D’Angelo: Brown Sugar (1995) Ep. 260

Hello, one more ep for D'Angelo but as I was listening to this, I realized what a canon episode this is. Shoplifting from the airport, going to watch the State of the Union Address, plus a Big Bopper call. I also left all of Russell's original notes in the episode because they are brilliant.

We are the world. We are children. We are the ones who make the best podcast about D'Angelo and the 183rd greatest album of all time, Brown Sugar, so you should start listening.1

Before we get to the music, we provide our rebuttal to the State of the Union with some discussion about the Wizard of Oz, the keys to good hospitality, and 44 days of amazing music in 1991.2 We're also your accountability buddy when it comes to airport etiquette when we chat about security checkpoint stops and normalizing kiosk shoplifting.

Then at (55:00) this podcast takes a smooth turn when we discuss D'Angelo's 1995 debut studio album Brown Sugar. We discuss D'Angelo's double entendres, the Voodoo sound, and the best weed songs ever.3

Next week we just want to have fun when we become the best Cyndi Lauper podcast and cover her 1983 debut studio album, She's So Unusual.

1. The opening of this writeup was a play on words from the song We Are the World, which was covered in the 2024 Documentary, The Greatest Night in Pop. 2. If our discussion of the 7 Legendary Rock Albums that were released in 44 days gives you the perfect body feeling, then reading this article reference will put a little mustard on it. 3. If you think this video of Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson singing Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die deserves a two-star rating then you probably should've just left this podcast about 15 minutes earlier.
