Yo, the Mike/Prince shyt isn't even that interesting in the grand scheme of some of the shyt he says in this article. This motherfukker is incredible and I'm not even through reading it.

[CrownHeights]

Prince was high as fukk off coke and MJ knew from seeing him earlier in the night so saw it as an opportunity for him to get Prince to play himself lol

MJ with the shyts for real

 

[MJ Truth]

eh the man was talking about his OWN life and shyt...

You're acting like he wasn't name dropping like a Game album.

 

[seanDON]

You're acting like he wasn't name dropping like a Game album.

Lol There's a difference ...Game name drop just to name drop.....
Q is just talking about his normal everyday life ....that's filled with actually knowing famous people

Quincy Jones Has a Story About That

This interview is long as hell but it's worth it. But to give a preview of it, he talks about how Prince literally tried to kill Michael Jackson after embarrassed him on stage in front of James Brown. He also talked about how Ray Charles used to shoot heroin into his balls

had long side discussion about Q, here

Pharrell is no longer a "new black"

MJ with the shyts for real

Both them nikkas were G's they just had fruity mannerisms to evoke a certain image that was fashionable for a star at the time

 

[get these nets]

some ducktales in the interview

most glaring outright lie was copping drugs from Malcolm X

....Q was born in 1933....said he couldn't join Lionel Hampton's band until he was 18 ....
Well, in 1951 Malcolm Little was serving time in new england prison, having been convicted in '46 or '47

 

[beenz]

+rep, the article is PHENOMENAL!

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Charles was “the most independent blind man you could ever witness—he’d go cross the lights, go to the supermarket, shop, count his change no help. No goddamn canes and no cups, nothing like that—his mother wouldn’t let him do it. And the only time he got blind was when the girls were around, and he’d start walking into the walls and shyt so they’d feel sorry for him and help him.” (Jones adds that Stevie Wonder also uses this technique.)


Lmfaoooooooooo

Ray Charles wasn't making no threads on TheColi, my man was out there working the system and working these hoes

 

[Clark Griswold]

This is nothing compared to his autobiography. Read Q

I’ve read and listened to numerous Quincy Jones interviews and that nikka does love to name drop...

 

[The Fire]

Everybody talking about the MJ/prince bit but the rest of the interview was just as wild. Maybe the best I’ve ever read

 

[NVious]

Perhaps the greatest interview I've read.

Dude used to live next to Picasso, and even had lunch with him.
