how on earth do more people not know about this track? Voodoo was one of the biggest albums of the last two decades. all these outtakes are just absolutely phenomenal. love this track so much; the most comfortable funk ever
I remember listening to “Jonz in my Bonz” in my car one day, and my mind literally went blank and I forgot I was driving for sure….. ❤️ D’Angelo’s music! You feel it in your soul.
I remember catching this when it first leaked out. I can't remember the specific details but before the popularity of facebook, youtube, instagram, etc. Myspace was big and had some kind of link where P2P sharing of music was the thing. A lot of unreleased material from various artists was shared and just not hard to find. Soundcloud had just emerged as well and you could find more of the same rare unreleased jewels from artists of significance, sometimes by fans and other times the artists themselves. When I first heard this from one of those formats, it just blew my mind being the D'Angelo music fiend that I am. Then just like the leaked Really Love (around 2006 well before Black Messiah was officially released), it just magically disappeared. Yeah, they were definitely playing with our emotions. So nice to hear this again after all this time.
I was hoping that D' Angelo and Prince would have done a compliation. Like Prince did with Angie Stone On "You Make My Sun Shine"....Angie who was once involved with D'Angelo.
I like/this song because he said nothing and said so at the same time you have to think about how they use to communicate a long time ago he just was one of the ones that brought it back so thanks again
@@ATLS702 shoo is...Bob Marley said it best, "One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain, so hit me with music! Hit me wit music now! Bruise the life with music!"☺🎶🎶🎶
I've never liked the studio version of Playa Playa and I skip it when listening to Voodoo. It's not a bad song I just think it would've been a better fit on the Space Jam soundtrack like originally intended
@@marvinkelley6339 it sounded great live on the Voodoo tour as an intro track and his engineer who follows me on Twitter has said it's a big reason they kept it on the album, I just don't think the studio version was a good fit on the album. I kinda just start listening from Devil's Pie onward
how do you mean stuck outside? I can't be certain as these are uncredited works but I'm pretty sure it's Quest. I would say it's possible D'angelo laid some drums in these sessions but because he says "go back to the thing" in an inordinate amount of time it leads me to believe it's a live recording, everyone's playing at the same time.
@@thenathanrox funkit.virose.net/?p=1804 Yo so this is the original post I got the zip from though it might not be available anymore. Just letting you try this from a computer as it doesn’t seem to work on my phone rn. I had downloaded it a while ago but now that I know the link might not be working, I may try and upload it but if you look at the full list you can see why D’angelo’s interested parties have removed uncleared covers and demo versions.
Jay Hughes you could call it R&B 🤷🏼♂️ D’angelo gets dubbed as the sort of originator of “Neo Soul” that’s where you’ll find music in semi the same vein
TH-cam algorithm on the money today. Never heard this!
lol....shit 20 plus years old
@@michaelgray4416 crazy, I had heard this stuff was out there
🔥🙌🏾🔥
The only one very close to Dilla style
I would say being a fiend for tryna search for that Dilla feel 😂Dwele & some of 9th as well as Tall Black Guy also come closest for me 🙌🏾🎶
@@nated444 Check out DJ Harrison and Swarvy if that’s what your looking for

This song is not on the Voodoo album.
I can imagine this playing on Hey Arnold for some reason.
can we be friends i like the way your brain work
This song is like getting into your car and driving to and through your favorite places while you clear your mind.
Right said. Haven’t heard this since the early 2000s.
absolutely

I'm forever a D'Angelo fan. This is the kinda music that really fascinates me 👂🏿
Holy water, weed & southern food! Damn D'Angelo can do NO WRONG🙌🏿
Could loop this for weeks and not get tired of it
Word all day
Amen, my brother!
every time i listen to it lingers in my head all day for like a week
Nothing in today's music would be the same without D'Angelo. He's a true cross genre, above it all, 1 of 1 type genius.
This got red light basement fried chicken and collard greens weed smell soul funk
Sounds like a mellow sample of chicken grease
Indeed never thought of that good catch 👌👍
Exactly. Thought the same roundabout when I heard it years ago.
Holy mother of thank God..for D’Angelo ❤️🙏🏽His vocals are like no other 🎼 I will love this man forever!

Pulled one of my biggest stank faces ever while hearing this.
1:06
“alright don’t leave me out here” goes 😮💨
Only Sly and maybe could bring something like this too a higher level. Like it
Feels like Saturday morning
man, D is such a great keys player. what a fucking talent. god bless this man
his style on the rhodes piano is something else...cant really describe how he plays
I first heard this when he did it in between two Sly Stone songs at those Brothers In Arms shows with Questlove
I was hoping that D' Angelo and Prince would have done a compliation. Like Prince did with Angie Stone On "You Make My Sun Shine"....Angie who was once involved with D'Angelo.

I love seeing what people say about this tune, this rings so true. Pure vibration just resonates in the spirit. Thank u for sharing 😌
That switch up at the beginning came through like melted butter
This beat makes me start freestyling automatically every single time
Man, just imagine all the stuff he has in the stash that we'll never get to hear smh.
Thanks for puttung this on brotha! I was jammin at work today! Work went by fast din a mug! Yeaah!!!🎉🎶 God bless ya!
Ain’t that the joy of music 🎶 bless you!!
@@ATLS702 shoo is...Bob Marley said it best, "One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain, so hit me with music! Hit me wit music now! Bruise the life with music!"☺🎶🎶🎶
J DILLA vibes.
how have I never heard this ..?!!
For some reason I cant get past 1:02 without restarting and listening again
Best sounding snare
Smh........ This is obsurd.
Uh this slaps on so many levels.
Hey now where has this gold been ... i never heard D’ Angelo do skits before my mind is blown away 🤯
FIRE, PURE BLISS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gosh, this smooth as Jaxx.
I come here a lot
Glad to have ya 😋
Yup
Name ONE whack song by D’angelo? EXACTLY.

@@skylerb97 I feel your opinion. It’s not the strongest one but to me it still hits.

@@skylerb97 fr?? i absolutely love playa. it's so subtle and moody
@@skylerb97 super interesting tho.. russell elevado said that?
Did anybody shazam
🔥🔥🔥
dont know how I got here but this is a gem
hella black
Music has no color
black music ❤
god damn
was this Dangelo playing in the instruments on this song ?
Playing Rhodes Electric Piano on this one…Questlove on Drums, Pino Palladino or Raphael Saadiq on Bass.
It was in there, for sure.
love this shit so sick
ahhhh you rock for puttin this up
Does anybody else hears Mr sun by Greenteapeng?
yes jamming go work too like music. 💕 cuzz keep realed
so good
This song is wonderful to thumbs up
Who is on drums? Sounds like Quest is stuck outside during recording.
how do you mean stuck outside? I can't be certain as these are uncredited works but I'm pretty sure it's Quest.

Quest is drumming and you can hear him talking in the mics
Thank u. Looking for this song for so long
Keshia Junuies I know!! Lmao I got the voodoo outtakes zip and had to upload this gem

What genre is this?
Jay Hughes you could call it R&B 🤷🏼♂️ D’angelo gets dubbed as the sort of originator of “Neo Soul” that’s where you’ll find music in semi the same vein
funk/soul
I would say hip hop too. It got a dilla feel to it
Sam W funk/soul (with hip hop elements?)
Dopeness/God Levelness
