Subby you're an idiot. Quincy Jones is a genius and continues to make music and produce tv and films to this day. He has more talent in his pinky than you will ever muster in your entire life.

If there is anyone qualified to be a Culture Czar, its Quincy.

Just coming in here to say: THIS!

If submitter accomplishes one one thousandth as much as Quincy Jones in a lifetime, he/she can proudly retire and be a has-been and tell people to get off the lawn.

And anyone that can make a Ray Charles/Chaka Khan duet actually listenable can hang out in my cabinet any day, if you know what I mean.

If you airdrop a Great Artist in Buffalo and consume them, the +4000 culture can envelop Toronto without breaking treaty.

Any music savvy Farker fill me in on something?

The Nightmares on Wax tune "Les Nuit" was composed by Quincy Jones. I believe he sampled Quincy Jones. What is the original tune and where can I find it?

Because it's one of the most gorgeous (although overplayed) tunes I've ever heard, and I'd like to compare it to the original.

Yes but do the same in toronto and mtl and then build something in buffalo you can take out all of new england and then quickly enough new york and washington will switch over and the the USA is farked.

We'd counter by sending Corey Hart across the border disguised as a Catholic missionary.

/and maybe bomb a Baldwin or two

High five!

QJ is a has-been, just like Clint Eastwood, Dave Grohl, Paul McCartney (and his pal Youth for that matter), Willie Nelson, those AC/DC guys... The list goes on.

Oh, wait. Am I stupid? Sorry about that...

Quincy Jones isn't a fighter, but he could still kick all your asses.

Quincy Jones was also married to the gorgeous Peggy Lipton, who are the parents of the equally gorgeous Rashida Jones. And if that's all he was responsible for, that would still be more than enough.

Gran Torino is a good flick.

o and Quincy Jones is a bad muhfuggah.

"Secretary of Has-Beens Who Trade On Past Glories"

It would be in keeping with all the other "Has-Beens Who Trade On Past Glories" that Obama keeps stuffing his cabinet with. What's the problem? It's par for the course it seems.

At least Obama will have access to hotpants anytime he wants through Quincy's brother, AJ.



/hot like a leggy blonde

Don't look at Quincy Jones! Quincy Jones ain't gonna help you!

Google says it's "Summer in the City."

Look at where he is, where he came from, and what he did in between.....he's one smart, tough guy. He's got my respect, and I don't really even go for his style of music.

My work here has already been done.
/got nothin' else

Be nice to subby, he's just submitting a stock FARK headline... he knows what will likely get green lit.

That's where that sample comes from??! I never knew. I always associated it with Pharcyde's 'Passing Me By', but never knew where they'd copped it from. Learn something new. Thank you, Glitchwerks.

-- but thank you, particularly, Gangway Fathead for finding the answer.

Quincy Jones can be the Secretary of Culture all he wants, but
even Margret Thatcher must bow to the Prime Minister of Funk:

This subby needs to meet another so called "has been" ...

Samuel L. Jackson quoting Bible verses.

"AND YOU WILL KNOW MY NAME IS THE LORD WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON THEE!"

Obama is lucky that Quincy didn't run for president.

Don't thank me, thank Gangway Fathead.

Now I'll have to track down both tunes. :p

An Anti-Jazz thread? Where's John Buck 41?

OK, found the original, and I'm pleasantly surprised that Nightmares on Wax only lightly sampled it and most of "Les Nuits" is his expanding on the original theme. Or "Nights Interlude." Whichever.

Not enough pics of his daughters in this thread.

Let me get this started.

I lost all respect for him once he became the Colt 45 spokesman.

Big this, love Quincy, would love for him to be Secretary of Culture. Would love there to BE a Secretary of Culture.

What Nightmares album is Les Nuits on? Only have Smokers' Delight and Mind Elevation with me now.

Hey, subby, go F yourself in the A. What a colossal pile of dumbness.

And don't be surprised if Ali is in the White House
Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasury
Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
Stevie Wonder, Secretary of fine arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady

Subby, I understand what you were going for.
So now I'll draw my own conclusion:
a) You are a troll who thinks you are funny.

OR

b) You truly believe the stupidity you spew from your mouth. Quincy Jones is a phenomenal composer and musician.

However, I hope he doesn't become part of our government. He's too smart for them.

You have all let me down.

/sadface

Subby is a stool sample.

If a man is going to trade on past glories like writing the Sanford and Son theme song, I think we're going to owe him a Hell of alot more than just a cabinet position.

Subby is a big dummy, and should press his face into some dough and make gorilla cookies...
