Quincy Jones για Taylor Swift, θέλουμε καλά τραγούδια όχι πιασάρικα riff

Θαυμαστής των Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige ένας από τους μεγαλύτερους παραγωγούς στην ιστορία μιλάει για πολλά που ενδιαφέρουν.

Οι σημαντικότερες ατάκες του

On Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra:

“Them motherfuckers invented partying.”

On Marilyn Monroe:

“Frank was always trying to hook me up with Marilyn Monroe, but Marilyn Monroe has a chest that looked like pears, man.”

On his 22 girlfriends:

“Cape Town. Cairo. Stockholm — she’s coming in next week. Brazil — Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and Rio. Shanghai — got a great girl over there from Shanghai, man. Cairo, whew.”

On his daughters giving him new age ranges for dating:

“Well, my daughters gave me new numbers, because they kept saying, ‘Dad, you can’t go out with girls younger than us.’ I said, ‘Y’all are not young anymore …’ So the new numbers are 28 to 42. They gave them to me.”

On growing up on the South Side of Chicago in the 3’0s:

“They took a switchblade knife and nailed my hand to the fence.”

On his current favorite artists:

“I love Kendrick Lamar, I love Bruno Mars, I love Drake, I love Ludacris, I love Common. Mary J. Blige. Jennifer Hudson.”

On Taylor Swift:

“We need more songs, man. Fucking songs, not hooks.” What’s missing from Swift’s songs? “Knowing what you’re doing.”

On Michael Jackson’s pets, Muscles (boa constrictor) and Bubbles (chimp):

“Oh, [Muscles] scared me to death, man. I ain’t gonna lie. And the chimpanzee, whatever the fuck it was, he was a pain in the ass. He bit Rashida. My poor baby.”

On buying drugs from Malcolm X:

“Shit, everybody in the band bought it! The junkies used to call cocaine ‘girl’ and heroin ‘boy.’ That’s because they said cocaine would take you from your woman.”

On himself:

“I always get in trouble, you know. My daughter Kidada calls me LL QJ — Loose Lips.”

On what he’s currently working on:

“I’ve never been this busy in my life. We’re doing ten movies, six albums, four Broadway shows, two networks, business with the president of China, intellectual property. It’s unbelievable, man.”
