Honoring D'Angelo and OutKast: Black Genius, Funk, and the Evolution of Soulful Music

Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Vl66O91mvu0    Two weeks ago, OutKast was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Last month, we lost D'Angelo. Dj and Reg met up this week and discussed both, their connection, and what it means for music.  In this episode, Dj and Reg process the recent transition of beloved artist D'Angelo and reflect on his impact, artistry, and legacy. They discuss D'Angelo's unique blend of old and new, his spiritual and church influences, and how his music felt both timeless and deeply personal. Reg and Dj also celebrate OutKast's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, connecting their rise to the broader story of Atlanta's creative explosion and the influence of crews like Organized Noise. If you haven't, see the documentary. They each remember discovering Outkast, chat about which of the albums are best, and place OutKast alongside hip hop's most legendary acts.  This episode is a celebration of music, funk, and extraordinary genius, perhaps the last of its kind in our generation. At the end, they both reveal their favorite music decade. Which one is yours? Tell us in the comments.
