The NETFLIX QUINCY JONES documentary shows that DRE AND KANYE aint nowhere near this dude

[Suzie]

Yea but jazz purists have no respect for most other genres of music based on the fact that rock/rap/pop/etc artists can't read music, can't write music, etc. So it's like an entirely different level of elitism based on whether you can "play" or not. Whereas a rock or rap purist just prefers their own genre and doesn't like sellouts.

I bet there's some weirdo elitist jazz forum where people hate on Thriller for being a simplistic pop album that Quincy did to make money lmao.

Oh trust it’s out there.
Jazz and Classical snobs are something else

jazz purists look down on all non-art, music/popular music. Thriller to them is like listening to k-pop for hiphop heads

 

[panopticon]

In the same breath when speaking of the great QUINCY JONES...

Everything about the man elicits the purest

Can't wait to see this doc

I remember my boys laughing at me cause I was big on 3-6 in the 90s.....now fast fwd 20yrs later and their sound is "popular music " of today....it was soo tight and clean but grimey at the same time

 

[Big Mark]

Kanye, Dre or none of the other nikkas can read or write music let alone have really masterfully play any one instrument. They are beat ONLY makers to me.

 

[Guvnor]

What about Ashford and Simpson or the homies Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

OP stop it fam. Quincy is dope but he can't make hiphop if he wanted too.

 

[DaHNIC82]

The man made Off The Wall and Thriller. Even Dre and Ye would bow down

 

[ThaRealness]

Dre shyts on Quincy

Bruh he has thriller and a couple decent jazz albums

At the end of the day Thriller is a pop record. Like not to get on some hipster shyt, but pop has so much limitation, its gotta be taken with a grain of salt
Quincy Jones could never produce a song about police brutality

He made we are the world ..
You underestimating his knowledge and abilities

I’m sure he can.. I’m not saying it’ll be great but believe me .. with these daws and sample packs he can find a way.

Bruh he made popppp

pop music aint the real .I was born in the 1990s so I missed the MJ wave. Aint nothing you can tell me that Quincy is fukking with his contemporaries in JAZZ. Bruh he aint fukkin wit coltrane, Miles.. real innovators.

And Dre was in innovator in his own field

Im not gonna say MJ wasn't dope as fukk... but he made music in the 1980s and how he fukkin wit G funk?

Bro why Dre and Kanye

When are we going to start talking Juice & Pau

The Trap sound is not only mainstream it’s bled into all genres lol

Forget Dre and Ye as producers I never hear about Juice and Paul as pioneers

@THE RETIRED SKJ

I'd argue Babyface, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, or/and Devante Swing are the closest things to being successors of Quincy

Pop is not even an actual genre

Right now hip hop is pop

And thriller actually had a lot of rock and R&B in and was a risk of a record.

So now Quincy isn’t a visionary or innovator ?

Is that what you’re saying ?

Devante is extremely talented and a legend in his own right, but he isn't nowhere near that echelon of producers. It's basically comparing Jodeci albums to decades of work by Quincy, Face, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Devante dropped the ball with his own crew.

Thriller broke barriers for Black music and you're in here talking about it like it was some fly by noght success.
