My love for his daughter, Rashida, should in no way be seen as evidence of bias when I say that Quincy Jones is a great man (although it is worth noting that he helped raise her to be as incredible as she is, which is certainly no small feat). His standing in the music world, of course, is beyond reproach. And, as such, when he fires shots your way, there's not much you can do about it but smile and accept it.
From The Wrap:
Spotify brought producer Quincy Jones to launch their new app featuring artist-curated playlists on Tuesday, but the music legend couldn’t resist dinging P. Diddy for being a music illiterate while touting the music technology.I'm also a Diddy fan, and have a lot of respect for what he's accomplished in his lifetime. But...damn. Quincy don't play.
“P. Diddy wouldn’t know a B-flat” if it hit him, said Jones in a conversation with musician Bruno Mars to mark the occasion of the app launch. “P. Diddy has a doctorate in marketing…. He’s got clothes companies and Ciroc vodka.”
The comment came after Jones responded to an audience question with an admonition to “learn your craft.”
