What is devil's pie?

Answer 1

Devil's Pie" is a song by American R&Band neo soul musician D'Angelo, released October 31, 1998 on Virgin Records. It was issued as a promotional single for his second studio album, 2000's Voodoo. The song was composed by D'Angelo and hip hop producer DJ Premier of the group Gang Starr. "Devil's Pie" served as a departure for D'Angelo from the urban contemporarystyle of his previous commercially-successful singles to the more experimental, "jam"-like sound that is predominant on Voodoo, as well as the use of samplingin his music. The song later appeared on the soundtrack to the 1998 film Belly. While its release as a single did not garner much commercial interest, "Devil's Pie" received a considerable amount of favorable criticism following its issue on the Voodoo album. A Spin magazine columnist later cited "Devil's Pie" as the album's centerpiece, while also describing it as a "sweaty, head-nodding sermon against the evil seduction of hip-hop materialism."[1]
