Quincy Jones put Kanye West in his place

Quincy Jones Kills Kanye West Comparisons, "Come On Man, He's Just A Rapper"

"No way," Jones responded when an interviewed said West was similar to him being one of the most sought-after producers in the past 10 years. "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." (US Magazine)

I think Kanye's arrogance and cockiness really make others dig for substance with him to at least try to credit or discredit him. Not that it makes it right but dude's ego has it's own county.

Quincy is obviously on another level thanKanye, but he did make himself sound like a douche in that interview.

It's not even that QJ sets KW in place, he's only stating the obvious. A Dr. Dre/KW comparison would be more in place.

I would agree, except I seem to remember Quincy Jones giving Dr. Dre props at that Vibe awards show a few years back

My thoughts exactly.

Quincy is a proper MUSICIAN. Shows how narrow minded people are about music these days. People only need to enjoy a few records to start comparing them to the all time greats.
