Quincy Jones Honest Opinion On Money Rappers Of Today
In a recent interview with iLoveOldSchoolMusic.com, Quincy Jones did not hold his tongue about today’s rap industry. He got right to the point when asked about what he thought about today’s music makers, and rappers who glorify money.
“What we need is a minister of culture to preserve jazz and blues. We’re the antithesis of Beethoven. Our music came from animals. From African life sources. Workers rites, circumcision rites. That’s where music began.
“All these kids today do it for money. Those bitches and ho’s are making millions. It’s me who helped bring them, my new brothers, into the business. God walks out of the room if you’re doing it for money. Never pimp the hood.”
