The power of his songs is undeniable, and I'm so grateful we got to experience it through the talents of people like Busta Rhymes

it just goes to show that music can bridge gaps and bring people together. D'angelo's influence is REAL and it's amazing to see artists like busta and others celebrating his legacy 
I mean, who needs more proof that D'Angelo was the ultimate musical magician? Busta Rhymes paying homage to his hero is like me giving a shoutout to my favorite pizza joint - it's a no-brainer! And let's be real, if anyone could make "One Mo'Gin" sound like magic, it's Busta. I'm not saying D'Angelo was a godsend (although that's what he basically was), but seriously, the man was on another level. I mean, who else could make us all cry and swoon with just one note? Okayplayer dropping this track is genius - it's like they're giving Questlove a high-five for life! 
I mean, who can deny the impact of that legendary voice on R&B?
