Mr. Quincy Jones, the musical genius, recently said something very wise about the self-proclaimed "voice of our generation", Kanye West.
Here is a part of the interview Jones gave toOMG!:
OMG: Kanye West is similar to you in that he's the producer everybody wants to work with in the last decade....
QJ: How man? No way. Did he write for a symphony orchestra? Does he write for a jazz orchestra? Come on, man. He's just a rapper. There's no comparison. I'm not putting him down or making a judgement or anything, but we come from two different sides of the planet. I spent 28 years learning my first skill. I don't rap. It's not the same thing. A producer has to have some sort of skills that enable him to be a producer. It's totally different to know what to do with 16 woodwinds you know from piccolos down to bass clarinet. It's a whole different mindset. No comparison. None.
Well said Mr. Jones! You can read the rest of the interview here:
