- He never even wanted a record deal or to be a star. He just wanted to sing. Along his path to success though, Musiq Soulchild was battling some personal demons that, if not handled correctly, could potentially ruin everything.

That neo soul era was bomb and still is.
Best time of my little life.
Totally! It gave me a whole identity
I want it to come back like the 90s hip hop soul sound or new jack swing
I still love neo soul ❤️❤️
Yes the early 2000 was my time of neo soul music from DeAngelo,Rapeal Siddiqui,Ericka Badu,Dewele they still on my music chart never change I'm all Neo Soul music bound 💯
Musiq has classic hits! He lead the neo soul wave in the early 2000s imo. That was a such great time for music.
I would say sade, maxwell or kem. But musiq was up there
He has 2 of my favorite songs of all time.. LOVE and DONT CHANGE 🔥🔥🔥
I agree. A lot of talk about how the 90s was music was at its peak but we tend to forget or didn’t realize that the early 2000s was the true peak for music. Especially for Rnb/neo soul
@@cookinwitp0ppin331 That's true facts! Not just opinion, ACTUAL FACTS! The summer of 2001 in particular is actually R&B's ultimate peak. Almost every mainstream urban act had a hit album out that year. There was huge saturation and huge hits to match! We haven't seen an era quite like that since.
@@thedepresseddog6035 I don't know about what Sade had out then, but I'd say Erykah Badu truly lead the early 2000s neo-soul. She was the only 90s pioneer that continued making music throughout the 2000s while D'Angelo, Maxwell, and Lauryn Hill all disappeared. By 2003, she was the only already established name still making neo-soul.
The sad part about R&B is it's not at the forefront of urban music anymore which is a shame
And some of the greatest music ever created came from the genre
Realest s**t you ever wrote
@@AggravatedMan365 The Gooch Facts
Absolute fact !!!
Blame y'all selves because some of y'all black folks rather push Adele Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars as real R&B singers bullshit.....we got so many talented new male and female R&B singers today y'all don't buy or support they stuff but cuz they black y'all mock dragged bully and over look they talent and always quick to nitpick a black artist but when a white person do the same or something similar ohhh not they understood the suppose assignment ....gtfoh !
HalfCrazy by Musiq Soulchild will always be my favorite song!!!
It’s one of the best songs of that year!
Mine too! 💯
I love “LOVE” ♥️
@@CandieP ohhh yeahhhh……that song…
Maaaannn that's my jam! I love everything about that song. It was big sound in a soulful way it was everything my ears longer for.
Philadelphia really is an iconic city. So much talent came out from that city.
🙌🏿💯
Yes it is…
comes.
I'm from Va and Philadelphia is a city I fell in love with. My 1st visit was in 1998, everlasting memories. The part of Va I came from, was slums and gentrified in the late 90s early 2000s. Philly is a place I rock with hard! Love the women out dere, beautiful queen's! Many brothers are cool and knowledgeable! The streets is real out dere! Nothing but respect. I recently did a job out dere, January 5, 2022. Truck delivery from Maryland too Philly. I currently live in Maryland left my hometown for a better life. Again love Philly. I went too "Gooey Louie's; too get a chicken cheesesteak! Gooey Louie's ran out of the chicken cheesesteak so I walk down a few block's too a soulfood seafood restaurant got crab cakes and macaroni/ cheese, expensive 19.76 but it was delicious. Maryland is known for its 🦀 crab cakes, so I was surprised Philly made dem really good! Love y'all beautiful queen's man!
Indeed, that city houses revolutionary talent. Philly is the city where NeoSoul was born; all of my favorite artists are from there. Teddy Pendergrass, D’Angelo, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Jazmine Sullivan, etc…
My husband still walks around the house singing "Love " & I absolutely love it when he hits that note at the end like Musiq!!..🙂🙃
🥰
Looooooooooooooooovvvvveeeeee
I did it for Karaoke two weeks ago
Musiq Soulchild doesn't ever get brought up in the conversation even though his music is amazing! He's always been treated as "just there." It's definitely about time he got his flowers! "Just Friends", "Halfcrazy", and "B.U.D.D.Y." are some of my favorite and most played songs ever! Big shoutout to "Love" too. That's a classic R&B song of the early 2000s! My mom is stuck on "Teachme."
You listed all of my favorites. Early 2000's was a great time for neo soul/ R&B. I'm so blessed that I was able to experience this era in real time.
Definitely
Yes, agree 100% he is an amazing talent
143‼️‼️‼️
So true he continuously put out instant classics when he arrived on the scene.
He also collaborated with The Roots on the song Break You Off!!
A favorite 😊
A great song!
I forgot about that song. That's a great song too
that song is so 🔥
Yo song is so underrated but fire
One of the things I always liked about his music,is how He would celebrate Black Women as a whole in his song. Which is more seldom than We often acknowledge.
I had the chance seeing Him in Europe live. It was an experience.
We're just waiting for black women to do the same.i haven't heard a song dedicated to us since angies stone "brotha"
Simpin' ain't easy... Money talks, 🐂💩 walks... What's love got to do with it...🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽 It's a debt, not an asset over feelings that changes...
I met him before when I was little he was a such a cool guy ( I was 9)
now cant nobody tell me he doesn't resemble Cole from Martin in them hats lol Cole always wore them hats
Don't Change was my wedding song. His music is so timeless. One of my favorite artists, hands down.
Yes, lovely song! I think Musiq is a serious romantic at heart!
It was the first song we danced too ❤. I walked in to Ribbon in the Sky
It was mines too😏
Half Crazy is one of the greatest R&B songs of all time. As a Philly resident, Im so proud to call him a fellow native
Damn I'm going to listen now ❤❤❤
I didn't even know about his "alter ego" but I love his music regardless. He's a classic...his music is timeless!
Me either! I'm just learning about it today. I've just always been a fan!
Plural. Many other egos. His interview on the 85 South Show was kind of bonkers. He talked about it in too many details.
Why does Philly produce so much soul
Silly is a blend of a lot of blacks coming from the old South who are a musically inclined
Boredom. We have nothing but foul ish around us. Death, trash & drugs everywhere & poverty. No hope anywhere. Besides in your head. Music becomes your savior. Music is our only way to escape this hopelessness. That's why we have such powerful music. It's our salvation. This city is soul music.
I'm glad it does or did.
Philadelphia has produced a lot of R&B and soul legends, my God! Only Detroit, NYC, Chicago and Memphis could argue the same.
RIP Aliyah
Cleveland

@@cle-chi The state of O-H-I-O completely dominated in RnB Funk Bands at one time!! You got to be of a certain age to know this!
Cincinnati,Ohio
To me these wonderful documentaries prove the need for more black owned content on tv. This was really good.
Thanks for watching! 😉
What happened is everyone started sounding the same and soul music got phased out.. But man when that Philly sound and neo soul sound came back in the 00s..it was so amazing... Mary Go Round.. You and me.. 1-4-3...previouscats... Love... Teachme....so beautiful.. Etc...
His music is the quintessential sound for fall tho..... Perfect timing for this video... Everything comes back around tho....this dope music will come back.
He's still in rotation for me..
Sometimes u gotta stay true to yourself tho... Soul music is what he does best..
Yep.The only ones with the retro sound now is Sonic Soul with Anderson Paak and Bruno Mars! Everyone has gone left and gone pop!!
Yesss! I adore all thise tracks. Musiq still stays in my rotation.
I still play So Beautiful, Teach Me and If You Leave in rotation heavily. 😩🙌🏽🔥
@@mariposaorofusionfoodchann7573 You mean Silk Sonic.
@@mariposaorofusionfoodchann7573
Eric Roberson still dropping heat
Irony is I just heard Lucky Daye's Over which samples Halfcrazy. The original is timeless. Great video too. Musiq made some great music. The early 2000s was the Golden era for many great R & B acts and iconic songs.
Yessssss Lucky Days is a Force to be reckoned with I love his music....
@@terencejulius8734 Actually, I just got schooled. The melody is from a French composer named Francis Lai. However, Halfcrazy is STILL one of my Musiq faves!
It samples Vivre Pour Vivre by Francis Lai….. that’s not Musiq Soulchilds music.
I already loved him from jump but the fact that he has a baby with one of my favorite singers from the group 702 made me love him even more they're not together but their co parenting skills are everything 💙💙
He broke her heart.... arrogance
Everything you said 💯
He does? Who knew….
Musiq’s albums are such a major part of the soundtrack of my relationship which blossomed into marriage. He is truly an icon!
It’s so disappointing to me that an artist of Musiq’s caliber could ever have to feel unappreciated & unsupported.
This Brotha has delivered so many classic songs. His songs from years ago can be played today & still sound fresh.
I wasn’t annoyed by his choice to rap or go purple. I just assumed that he was experimenting with different styles of music.
He’s one of a few artists whose work never disappoints or gets boring.
If I remember correctly, some of his relationship business went personal, he was painted as being shady & unfaithful & that’s when public sentiment & support seemed to change a bit. It impacted his public image or persona, but the music has never ceased to pop.
In any event, I like how you chronicled his career & his life. You did good!
The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps soundtrack has a lot of bangers on there!!
He's made so many great songs. Love that he never gives up. What an inspiring artist.🌹♥
Stories on Xzibit, Ras Kass, Chino XL, Slum Village, The Jungle Brothers, Onyx, Jeff Redd, Horace Brown, and Nicole Wray would be very interesting
Slum Village for sure!
I loved onyx
Horace brown for me. He had 2 hit songs & suddenly vanished.
@Slim Pickens yes!
@Slim Pickens l love Glenn lewis
He was the first concert I went to. He came over to Okinawa Japan and did à concert for us troops in 2003.
Music Soulchild is a superb artist. His pen game is on another level and vocals are amazing. Drop another track for us.
“Settle for my Love” was our first dance wedding song❤️
I listened to that song everyday......💓
That song is 🔥🔥🔥
Patrice Rushen classic he remade it both was nice
Saw him live years ago, i went in only knowing like 2-3 songs but i left downloading all of his albums. He was phenomenal
Musiq SoulChild has a lot of bangers!!
I miss Def Soul in so many ways. Musiq is one talented soul singer and that’s the truth. Oh how I miss the old school music!!
Musiq is very underrated and I still listening his couple of songs especially “half crazy”, “don’t change” and “teach me” are my favs.
Half crazy, Love, and BUDDY are on rotation, lol even my moms had to have his music.. These sounds hit my first year of college..
No one ever gives "Yes" its praise. The song is beautiful and the music video is a tear jerker. It's amazing 😁
Most people didn't even know about the alter ego. His career is exactly what it should be. Musiq is a vibe. He isn't the greatest at any particular thing, but he manages to create timeless classics.
My favourite song from him is "ifuleave" with Mary J. Blige. Also just wanted to add that your meme/reaction placement is amazing lol that gif of that woman in the Wendy Williams show audience will never get old. Can you do a video on Raheem DeVaughn and Melanie Fiona? Thanks and keep up the good work! I feel like fans are so hypocritical sometimes. They want "real" music but don't support it with their dollars and streaming counts. The artist has to make a living so they change up to what's selling and the fans get mad. Musiq Soulchild walked so T-Pain could run.
💯💯🙌🏽
I love Musiq Soulchild’s duets with Mary J Blige (If you leave); India Arie (Chocolate high) & Carlos Santana (Nothing at all) + his own songs (So beautiful, Half crazy, Radio)… He has definitely contributed to the Neo Soul musical legacy.❤️✨
He's a very handsome young man. Very good voice ..
He also collaborated with artists such as Carlos Santana, India.Arie, The Roots, Meelah from 702, just to name a few
Had no idea he put out that many albums!!! OMG what times I've missed!
Musiq’ s music was Everything! My jams are “Beautiful” and “Love”! 🤎
Love and Half-Crazy were jams back in the day!!! I need to check his other albums. Glad hes still around! Super talented!!
This man can do no wrong musically
That Dude
I strongly agree with you!! His music is authentic and meaningful, and I'm forever a fan.
“Marygoround” is my favorite song by Musiq…
His first 3 albums tho 🔥🔥❤️❤️
He reminds me of Cole from Martin
Juslisten was such a great album! ❤
So beautiful is my favorite song by him.😊
Mine too💛
He answered the question himself: “cause R&B ain’t popular like that.” 🤷🏾♂️
I wonder what happened to Bilal?
On my radio is my favorite album by him! I still can listen to it all the way through with no skips ❤️
Your reactions in each video are timeless 😂😂😂.
Wow I didn't know that whole hustle album stuff
I loooooooove Musiq. His songs make my heart melt. When did he become the hustle???? I totally missed that.
Teach me how to love is one of my favorite songs.
Beautiful is a favorite.
He's very talented.
Glad things are looking up for him. Talent should never be waisted. My talent was…I root for others.
Kat Graham made a cameo appearance in Musiq Soulchild's video for the song b.u.d.d.y.!!
Until this day nobody can sing "Love" like him.
‼️‼️
Philly stand up 💕💕💕
I listened to that other ego stuff he put out and was extremely disappointed but all his other albums stay on rotation.
When I sing love to my daughter she Blushes over the Falsetto part of the song. The sweetest feeling in the world.
LOVE THIS GUY! Listen to him almost everyday. One of my top 3 favorites always.
Wowww didn't know he was married to her. I really love his song " Love " & "Teach Me "...I start to sing as soon as they come on. That song has been on my playlist for about 4yrs. I'm not even tired of hearing it. Such romantic & sweet songs.
Can you please do one Kelly Price, Q- Tip, Shai, Troop Avant, Keri Hilson, Keke Wyatt or Faith..!! What happened to these ppl & what they doing now.
He's never been married, he just has kids by 2 women.
I know a lot of people are not feeling the other personas, but go listen to the Eternal Peace album by Purple Wondaluv. It's the best album I've heard in the past decade! And I'm not mad at a brother for wanting to explore other lanes of music.
It's very nice
I’m going to go listen ‼️
That album is amazing and it should have gotten a lot more love than it did.
Please do one about Quindon tarver
"I'm basically a rapper, but I sing". Ummm no lol. His identity crisis along with the industry changing is why he's not around that much no more, BUT he's had a GREAT career. No one is on top forever.
I LOVE ❤️ Musiq Soulchild ! His music helped me in my relationships and breakups...his music is timeless and soulful! 😍
I love that he changed his name, I didn't know that, yet I get it. Thats what artist do. ❤️
Y'all wrong for using that pic at 5:04. I was dozing off to sleep and that damn eye woke me TF up!!! 😂
We need that Neo-Soul movement backk!!
One of my favorite songs is LOVE....such a beautiful,heartfelt song💖
Musiq will always have timeless classics under his belt. I still would love to see him in concert. His music makes me super emotional..that man’s voice touches my soul.
I refuse to watch the Don't change video because I start bawling! 😭
He sounds good in person I bet his sunglasses collection is astronomical
Him and his music is the bomb! I saw him in concert twice and he sounds just like the record!!!!!!
Music is one of the greatest artists ever; his music is timeless! Take notes 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Please cover Mona Lisa!
Yes Mona Lisa would be so dope ❤️
My favorite male artist. Previouscats and the Beatles cover of something , teach me , better man , and who knows, are my favorite songs by him
I met him twice in my life. I used to work at Boston market he came in there twice so actually met him three times one time I went to a signing for his second CD at stonecrest mall with friends and I also met him at my job where he proceeded to want something for free, of course since he was musiq I gave it to him. .he was 😎
Nice!!
I love the sweet potato casserole from Boston Market.
Celebs with money always want something for free.

@@angelyumyum9248 lol right! Cheap bastards 😆😆
I was lucky to meet him 2011.He was very nice.💙💜
HalfCrazy stay in heavy rotation💯 one of my fave neo-soul artists🌟
Philly stand up 🙌🏿
Your reactions are so funny.
Thanks for the upload 💜🙏🏾
I still listen to half crazy
I love that song
Can’t get it out of my system 😂
Great job on this one
Love your content to pieces.
The way Musiq treated Ashley Wright was mind blowing. Blew her back out daily…providing for her…. then literally ghosted the woman close to her due date & never spoke to her again 😩 rumor has it that he was still with Kameelah Williams (702 singer) at the time.
Omggggg
I was hoping the video would address this more!
@@jd517 it’s probably because Musiq hasn’t spoken publicly about it yet. Girlllll this man acts like Ashley & the baby doesn’t exist. Even filtered his IG comments when the situation happened.
@@KM-007 wow that's sad
@@KM-007 Damn😥
Love these stories so much!!
Love is a timeless R&B standard
Musiq stay dropping fire hits 🔥 Love his artistry. Last album I really listened to was the purple one lol 😝 💜
YOU DIDNT POST ABOUT ONE OF HIS BEST ALBUMS. SOULSTAR! I REMEMBER BEING IN 6TH GRADE LOVING THIS ALBUM. I WAS TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND IT Fully LIKE I CAN NOW, BUT YOU SHOULD OF POSTED THIS ONE TOO.
🙌🏽
Unexpected surprise, thank-you.
Unfortunately, it's very hard to change your persona and brand once you are successful with one style. People become committed to that persona and idea of the artist. I can only think of a few people whose change benefited them, P!nk, Sia, Marvin Gaye, etc. But it has to be good and still have that core essence of the artist that folks can still comprehend.
P!nk didn't necessarily change persona. She was never into the poppish/RnB vibe, but that's what the label convinced her would sell. She fulfilled her ONE album contract, changed labels, and has been doing the music she wanted to from the very beginning ever since
You are the 🐐 for this one. Timeless classic music.
Always come in clutch with one of my favorite singers about they life & what happened with em! He had a lot of good ass songs glad to witness his great music!
Wow 😯 this was good 👍 SUBSCRIBED
extremely gifted and talented
That Purplewundaluv album is amazing. It’s very introspective
I saw him live a couple of times in Philly and Baltimore and he was very disappointing. He was late to the shows and hardly sung the entire song which yielded lazy performances. I’ll just continue to steam his music. Awesome video btw!
Oh wow
I agree because I went to his performance at the city winery in Chicago and I guess he was singing his second show and he act like he could not hold a note or something
@@naturaldisaster2 I love the city winery in Chicago!
Yep he came to London and went on the same way. Was so shocked by his behaviour to the fans
He is still one of my all time favorites!
MusiqHusslePurple. I'm Wheezing 😂😂😂
