He pulls out a book published a few years ago filled with photos and memories from his life, and he tells me about the time Bono invited him to come along to the Vatican in 1999 to meet Pope John Paul. "All the guys in the Vatican had these Vatican black shoes," Jones recalls, but not the Pope. "He had on some burgundy wingtips, man, with thin tan rib socks, man. We had to go and kiss his hand before we left. And when I kissed his hand, I looked down and saw those shoes and it just fell out of my mouth. I said, 'Oh, my man's got some pimp shoes on.' And he heard me."

Its a little sad to be 84yrs old and to have nothing more than rehashed celebrities tales to contribute to the world.

"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 The Source, "Quincy Jones is disgusting. All he does is stick his dikk in white bytches and make fukked-up kids."
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.'"

Negged for speaking the truth
some ducktales in the interview
most glaring outright lie was copping drugs from Malcolm X
....Q was born in 1933....said he couldn't join Lionel Hampton's band until he was 18 ....
Well, in 1951 Malcolm Little was serving time in new england prison, having been convicted in '46 or '47

With 84 years of life experience and talking about stuff from 7 decades ago I'm sure some of the details and timing as he recalls it are going to be off
My boys were just reminiscing about Cuban Linx, and one of them talking about all the stuff that was going on in '97 instead of '95 when it came out. That's just 20 years ago and nikka was off about the details

one day we were out there working at Hayvenhurst, and we couldn't find Muscles, and we went downstairs—they were refurbishing this room down there—and here this cat, man, is hanging out of the parrot cage. His mouth is inside, but he just ate the parrot so he couldn't get out of the cage. So he's just hanging there till he digests it."
This is Michael's parrot he's eaten?
"Michael's parrot. The snake didn't want to hear that shyt."

might want to cover your eyes at the spoiler
he's been telling variations of this duck tale for years
shyt made me lmaoo
Oh, they grabbed me, and they took a switchblade knife and nailed my hand to the fence right there." He points to a scar he's had on his hand for 77 years. "And they stuck an ice pick"—he points to his left temple—"in here, the same time."
Did it hurt?
"Did it hurt? fukking right it did! A switchblade in your hand nailed to a fence. shyt, man. And an ice pick here. fukk, man, I thought I was gonna die. I was terrified. Because you feel helpless. And then Daddy came out finally and hit 'em in a head with a hammer."
