Quincy Jones is the greatest producer in the history of recorded music. There’s nobody even close to his accomplishments.

Ok. SOOOO, in the last 6 months, The Great Quincy Jones has said that 1) Kanye West “Is just a rapper. Knows nothing about production”.. even though the evidence clearly shows that Kanye is one of the finest Producers/Arrangers of the last decade.

THEN he says that “Diddy wouldn’t recognize a B Flat”.. when AGAIN the evidence shows that Diddy may not be able to write an orchestra, but the boy has GOLDEN ears, as he has discovered many a talent, including, but not limited to arguably the most technically gifted and proficient rapper of all time, The Notorious B.I.G. This does not even include how wonderful a job Mr. Combs did when he constructed Jay-Z’s classic “American Gangster” album from top to bottom.

Therefore, the evidence v. Mr. Jones’ comments leads me to presume that Mr. Jones is under-informed and speaking from a place of whimsy, rather than from researched intelligence. This does not make him any less of an artist, but it does take him WAY DOWN in the “trustable source” factor on modern music.

.. At least in my eyes.

he professes to be a mogul…not a singer. the fact that artists(albeit new) flock to him, tells me they recognize that marketing “genius”. good luck getting a hold of any sizeable checks though.

man he’s making a good point. Music was never about promoting and marketing products, but diddy took music and threw all that in. Diddy’s not the only one and I respect his craft, but musically Diddy did nothing for the culture (himself) save for finding talent and yelling on their tracks.

Hold up! Are you implying that Quincy Jones is hating on Diddy?
