  • "His presence...his soul and his genius."

    'Nuff said - well said.

  • Yeah, I own that album "The Dude" and one of my favorite on that album is "Velas" as well as the album "Back on the Block". I am not denying Q's talent. I am just saying that he' was wrong to speak out AFTER Mike's passing like that. Clearly it was in bad taste.

  • @Sandy2J in another interview he told mike what he thought to his face

  • @Confirmedgenius When was this? Cuz I just saw 100 greatest artists of all time on VH1 and MJ came in at #2.

  • I liked this interview. It was my first time ever watching it. After Michael's death I pretty much avoided mainstream media's coverage on him because the anchors seem to mocked his death and demean his worth as a person. And don't get me started on their coy implications of Michael being a pedophile. Sighs. This was a respectable, classy, and honest interview with someone who truly knew Michael and valued his worth as a musician, friend, and human being.

  • everytime I see this guy I think ab what Tupac said,,,,QJ tried to hit on Tupac and Tupac was like naw man I dont swing like that

  • PEOPLE- U MUST REALISE LEARN TO RESPECT THE OPINION OF OTHERS -JUST BECAUSE U SAY SOMETHING IS THE BEST DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING!!!!- WHAT REALLY FREAKS ME OUT IS THAT ROLLING STONE RANKS THRILLER AS #20 ON THEIR LIST OF BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME AND MJ AS #35 ON THEIR LIST OF GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones are great music combo ever.

  • @hcvang

    Dangerous New Jack Swing style sounds to this day as fresh as it can be !

    Clenching styles, great recordings, great diversity, great songs.

    It's true MJ didn't have evergreens since Bad, but it has nothing to do with the absence of QJ.

    Nobody can write classic after classic. Like it is impossible to invent a new Moonwalk over and over, it's a once in a lifetime thing.

    Those three records are classics, which he could never overcome, with or without QJ.

  • @hcvang

    QJ added zero on the Bad record. Michael wrote all the tunes, made hundreds of tapes, QJ was just standing there, watching how M took control

    On Thriller MJ made his own demos for BJ,BI,WBSS and GiM. These songs form the heart of THR

    They mixed all songs together, still MJ didn't get any producer credits He even doubted BJ !

    For OTW, QJ 's influence is undescribable huge ! Introducing Rod Temperton, finding the right songs.

    QJ launched MJ, but MJ made QJ the man he is today

  • Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad...

    the only three albums that matter - the rest cant hold a candle to these three.

    Quincy is the man.
