People in this thread went way out of their way to

for his comments on Hip Hop. I'm all for defending Hip Hop, but a lot of the comments were just ill informed and then comparing Quik or Dilla to Quincy Jones is just disrespectful. In regard to Quincy Jones and Hip Hop, dude has always condescended to Hip Hop production as a whole, but still respects the art of Hip Hop itself:
The conversation was centered on the future. And during the interview Yuna straight up asked Jones “who in today’s creative class gives you hope for the future in music.”
Jones said:
“I’ll start off with Kendrick Lamar. And Bruno Mars. I like Common. I like Ludacris. I like Esperanza Spalding…little Joey Alexander — he’s frightening. He’s 13 years old. He plays like Herbie Hancock. It’s beautiful seeing these young ones taking music back where it belongs. And they are all incredible”

In regard to comparing Quik or Dilla to Jones:
It's disrespect because when you compare resumes, it's laughable. When you compare what Quincy has brought to music to what Quik and Dilla has brought to music, it's not even close, not even from a skill level. As producers, there's no comparison. Yeah, I agree that Quincy doesn't have a classic Hip Hop record to his name, but it's still laughable to compare
