Quincy Jones
« on: September 16, 2002, 11:41:28 AM »
I hope this forum isn't limited to hiphop cuz I think this guy deserves some respect. I went through the record collection of my dad and found a Quincy Jones album called Big Band Bossa Nova. I knew that Quincy was big in the 60s and the driving force behind MJ, but I didn't expect that he was so damn cool. Big Band Bossa Nova sounds so damn cool, well, I can't even find appropriate words. Y'all know Austin Power's opening theme/ Dream Warrior's "My Definition"? The sample's taken of Big Band Bossa Nova. Those of you who are open-minded - cop it! Different, but definitely worth the money.

Quincy Jones is great.  His best record (In my opinion) was "Walking In Space" awesome album, with Killer Joe, and some other good stuff like that on it.  Another good one was "The Dude", and some of his slower jazzy stuff like "I'm gonna miss you in the mornin' " is some of the greatest music ever made.  He produced Michael's early stuff, plus, his most famous song of all time is probably "The Streetsweeper" (Sanford & son Theme Song).

I got mad respect for Qunicy as a producer, he's done some amazing work over the years, especially for MJ. I've not heard too much of his solo stuff but that track "Summer In The City" (the one that The Pharcyde sampled for "Passing Me By") is pretty amazing. I'll have to check some more of his solo stuff out.

I think that if you take one of the 'O's' out of 'Good' it's 'God', if you add a 'D' to 'Evil' it's the 'Devil'. I think some cool motherfucker sat down a long time ago and said 'let's figure out a way to control motherfuckers'.

I got respect for Quincy Jones... Because Dre says nobody is better then him than Quincy Jones.... And I like the things Quincy says about 2pac in interviews, etc., etc..... but I could care less about his music.  I've actually cut down on listening to hip-hop lately because I finally found something else I can listen to.  Talk Radio.  Otherwise, I think QD3 is iller then Quincy Jones, cause Quincy doesn't produce hip-hop.

"Summer in the City" is a cover track. The original version is by Lovin Spoonful. Prolly the only cover track besides Faith No More's "I'm Easy" that I really dig.....

It is? I had no idea as he is credited for the sample on The Pharcyde's "Bizarre Ride II". Anyways, love that song, it's a really weird sound, in a good way though  :)

Yall have all heard the o.g. version of summer in the city!

HOT TIME, summa in the city, back of my neck's gettin' dirty, gritty

Cool Down, isn't it a pity, doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city...

All Around, the People's lookin' halfdead, walkin' round the blacktop gettin' hotter than a match head...

But, at night, it's a different world, go out and find a girl

Come on, Come on, dance all night, just like the days, it'll be all right, If the days, could be like the nights, if the days... could be like the nights, in the summer.. in the city... in the summer, in the city

If I'm going to listen to music, I'm going to listen to hip-hop.  I shouldn't be condemned for that choice.  It is not my duty to listen to and love all other forms of music.
