We Drove Him To It...

From That Bitch @ StyleRazzi...
How Does It Feel Drove DeAngelo Crazy
DeAngelo's former manager, Dominique Trenier, told Spin Magazine, “We couldn’t get through one song before women would start to scream for him to take off something. It wasn’t about the music. All they wanted was for him to take off his clothes.”
The cat calls had an undeniable effect on D’Angelo. “He’d get angry and started breaking shit. The audience thinking, “fuck your art, I wanna see your ass!” made him angry”. For D’Angelo, who, as Trenier puts it, “isn’t a sexy dude” but a “real musician who wears glasses and plays video games,” the objectification appeared to do lasting damage. “I didn’t realize how vulnerable he was or how deep his issues ran. He’s cursed now with fretting over how much of his fan base is because of how he looked as opposed to his music. It took away his confidence, because he’s not convinced why any given fan is supporting him. I feel really guilty, because that was never the intention” Trenier says. “Untitled wasn’t supposed to be his mission statement for Voodoo. I’m glad the video did what it did, but he and I were both disappointed because, to this day, in the general public’s memory, he’s the naked dude.”

Sex, Sexy and dark sensual sells! Period!
He as an artist knew what he was putting out there for the public to consume.
Some people wish they had his opprotunity.

Comment by Chocolate Allure on August 6, 2008 at 1:42pm - Why should we feel sorry for him? He knew what he was doing? Just like chics that wear booty shorts and bikini tops to the cllub! D'Angelo sold sex talking about "how does it feel?"...are we kidding ourselves...Another person no taking accountability for their actions. When Beyonce puts on a few pounds folks flip out on her "jelly" so D'angelo, admit you like twinkies, a side of beef, a rack of lamb and a case of diet coke for a snack and make your therapist a lot less rich...go make to making music and stop whinning....

Men love the thrill of the chase (make the guy chase a little longer next time). Take it as a learning experience. He may be sincere or he may be telling you what you want to hear (false hope). Hopefully you'll come out on top the next time around...
