Donny Hathaway, Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, James Brown, Aretha Franklin brought the movement of Black Pride struggle and love which reflects the music of neosoul.

Why? There are a few people here who've made a few good -tracks- but even putting them in the same genre as motown and stax is almost a bastardization.

In an interview ?uestlove told me that The Roots had been practicing in an apartment and Musiq was a pizza boy who decided to get on the mic and Jill Scott was just a local who worked at Urban Outfitters and joined in. D'Angelo, Bilal, even Black Star and Common would all just chill in the studio which is why you saw a lot of collaborations on their earlier albums. Everyone's sound was so similar because they were all working together, and I would never call it a bad thing because they each had original aspects. Musiq is dropping an album in March and its anticipated as a hit..hopefully What’s crazy is how, while I’d hate to say generic sound or mold for lack of better words, the sound for neosoul came from a big jam session in a random apartment.
