Gotta love people who are in that last stages of life. They don’t give a fukk anymore.
From the article:
When people think about Quincy Jones, what do you think they misunderstand about you?
"Oh, that I only like blondes. How stupid can that be, when you're in South Africa and Cairo and Brazil and China—looking for a fukking blonde?"
I didn't know that was a perception of you.
"Well, because I had three wives, white wives, and they stereotype, you know. But they wrong like a motherfukker, man. You ever see Black Orpheus? That was my old lady, Marpessa Dawn.
Gorgeous lady, man."
You did get some criticism for having white wives, didn't you?
"I don't give a fukk. Because they think that's all you like, but that's stupid, man. Here's what you've got to understand: The interracial thing was part of a revolution, too, because back in the '40s and stuff, they would say, 'You can't mess with a white man's money.… Don't mess with his women.' We weren't going to take that shyt. Charlie Parker, everybody there, was married to a white wife."
And it felt like there was some sense of liberation in that?
"Yeah! It was freedom, man. Do what you want to do, and nobody can tell you what to do. Charlie…I used to go to things with Charlie Parker, man—boy, he'd have everybody smoke some weed and he'd have, like, the founders of Sears Roebuck, the ladies walking around the pool, all of them nude, man. Him playing alto, buck dancing around the pool.
Them cats didn't play."
One of his most famous critics was the newly famous Tupac Shakur, who said in a 1993 interview with all he does is stick his dikk in white bytches and make fukked-up kids."
D's goat brehs
That was a terrible thing that Tupac said about you.
"Yeah. And my daughter kicked his ass, boy. Rashida, she was in Harvard then: 'Motherfukker, you wouldn't be where you are if they hadn't done what they did.'" (16)
16. Rashida, then 17, wrote a letter defending her father, which ends: Tupac, if you learn one lesson, let it be that at least my father took the time to look at how fukked up life would be if he didn’t get his shyt together early on. Where the hell would you be if Black people like him hadn’t paved the way for you to even have the opportunity to express yourself? I don’t see you fighting for your race. In my opinion, you’re destroying it and shytting all over your people.
Still, it was an awful thing to say.
"I know, but people, you know. The haters everywhere. You know, we became good friends after that. We came almost in love with each other.
I was going to do a film with him and Snoop Dogg, Pimp, [about] Iceberg Slim."
You met him at a deli, right?
"That's when he first met Kidada. (17) He was hitting on her—he changed his mind now, you know? And I went over the back of the seat and did like that on his shoulders: 'Pac!' " Jones acts out grabbing hold of Tupac from behind. "And then I said, 'Come here, motherfukker, I've got to talk to you.' And we went and talked, and after that we hugged and made up."
17. Tupac and Kidada subsequently dated. She was with him in Las Vegas when he died.
Q's musical legacy in unmatched in the history of American music. I posted the link to a thread where I had a side discussion about how much of a giant Quincy Jones is and how he made classic in near EVERY form of music created here.
BUT......and there's always a but....he's buggin in these recent interviews. Dude clearly worshippped white women and he came up around musicians and entertainers who saw taking the white man's woman as some kind of victory. When the culture shifted and viewed this as a sellout move in some circles...he and others want to cop pleas...GTFOH!!!
and throwing dead people under the bus. There was no reason to throw Marvin Gaye under the double decker bus like that. I sat on this picture, out of respect for Q, but F it. This isn't really a gotcha because this was an image that he had published in a tribute to Sinatra when he died,but here it goes
yes, top picture is Q kissing Frank Sinatra's ring
from old Vibe magazine article about FS
This nikka said Marlon Brando fukked Richard Pryor, James Baldwin, and Marvin Gaye
Ehhhh sounds like an excuse for bucking to me.From the article:
