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.

maybe this thread should be moved to "album review"........

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).

The Sanford & Son Theme is on "You've Got It Bad Girl", isn't it? I'm actually thinkin about buying this album....

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 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 :)

Quincy jones is no more a guy....

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.
-
Quincy Jones didn't do that Austin Powers theme (originally) it's an old old old composition. He redid it tho. I have "The Dude" and "Big Band Bossa Nova" on vynil, and yeah they fuckin tite.
-
Little Known Fact : That's Michael Jackson singing backup on "The Dude" and of course that's really Quincy doing the rap/talk part.
-
QUincy is the man. I wish he did more work but I guess he is enjoying the fruits of his seccess now.
-
he still does a lot of work, mostly movie scores i believe.
-
Yeah, he still works. His love is composing, as a matter of fact, he was in austin powers 3, and composed a lot of the music in it. He also DOES produce hiphop, I don't know why poeple think he doesn't. He's partially responsible for r&b and hiphop blending together in the early 90's.
-
infinate i think you should at least try other musics before you totally dismiss them without even hearing them
QD3 is NOTHING compared to quincy jones
saying QD3 is better just cuz he does hip hop proves one of my old points
anyways back to the topic at hand
Quincy is the man , he's the modern day Mozart

I have heard them. This rules out your whole argument. I have heard the other music. So you can shut the fuck up now.

you should not be condemned, but you are just young....and it takes some people longer to realize there are other genre's of bomb ass music

I LIKE many different types of music, old and new, but I LOVE hip-hop and RnB and I rarely buy anything outside those genres simply because I know if I buy anything else they won't get much play from me resulting in them being a waste of money at the end of the day. Thats where downloading comes in handy.

yeah and i heard Dream on by areosmith a million times before i started to open my mind up and apreciate it......now it's like my 2nd or 3rd fav song
my whole point is you should open your mind up more, listening is only a tenth of doing that
and by the way quit being so hostile and confrontational man
