[WCoastTillIDie]

On the original one, part of the song sounds like DJ Quik's song "Safe and Sound."  Did Quik sample Quincy Jones?

[MoodMuzik]

you are all elitist musical snobs imho, this song is awesome.

Agree 100 percent...his new album hes remaking old songs. so if you dont wanna hear it than shut the fuck up

[Jimmy H.]

I'm not going to say Quincy Jones is dope just because everyone else does.  He's never done anything I was really into.

The sad thing is there are probably a lot of people who think like you.

The CDS/12" release of the song comes with some bonus mixes by QDIII, all of which are dope imo.I'll try to find a link and I'll up it if I don't

Origional track sucks

You must be clinically retarded to say that. I know your beef with Quincy though. It's no surprise.

LOL... chill with the internet beef... I just thought it was foul you got so deep into Sccit's private life, and the other stuff was just battle rhyming.

Your making it way deeper than it is, I simply said I haven't ever gotten into Quincy Jones music, big fuckin deal!  Him as a person, I have no beef with him, I like Quincy as a person and I enjoy hearing what he has to say in interviews.

Also, I've always been a fan of a lot of the work his kids, QD3 has done, such as songs they've produced and 2pac documentaries and all their work in general they've been a great asset to the hip-hop world.

What does this topic have to do with the new song we are talkin' about?

[Paul]

Origional track sucks and this one sucks too... I'm not going to say Quincy Jones is dope just because everyone else does.  He's never done anything I was really into...  now Akon on the other hand, he's done a lot of stuff I love

WTF

[Elkoizm]

If anyone can redo a classic, it'd be Quincy.


But I can't lie, I was disappointed abit with this track. Not because of the sound, it's sounds alright. But it's because the people that dig this song and not know about Brothers Johnson, are missing out and that pisses me off. I hope this creates enough hype for comparisons to be made so that people can hear the original and like it better. All about spreading good music.

[white Boy]

you guys know Quincy Jones produced Lesley Gore's 'Its my party" .... hohhhh shit
