Because you know me so well putting your hostility aside, I love Quincy Jones and his music legacy speak for itself. A bunch of grumpy Prince fans won't shake that. His views about MJ & Prince are HIS views only. They don't affect how I feel toward both artists, nor do they diminish his own legacy. You have total choice to be angry about his words if you want to, I choose to enjoy the Netflix when it arrives. If it makes me the "only" person here who anticipates it, so be it [Edited 2/9/18 10:10am] | |

No he was in his rights to sue the estate but he was much too gleeful about it and he appears to no longer need a wheel chair. I wonder where it went to. I also think all of this behavior could be related to money. He might be in need of cash. | |

Given the things that Quincy has said so far, this to me as a Prince fan isn't that big, but I guess if one is a diehard MJ fan and having little knowledge of Prince, this kind of stuff keeps the manufactured feud just going. | |

There was some great tea about him spilled on LSA but the thread was removed | |

prince hid in plain view for the most part, he didn't try to con people. what was some of the tea on lsa about him? Probably been heard here too. there was a crazy one about P and Tevin started by ben baller a few years ago, that's just how it goes. People get crazy ideas in they heads. I can't think of any public figure that doesn't have some crazy rumor about them, Duke Ellington and his co writer, billy strayhorn were presumed to be lovers by Dukes own son, why his son would think that and why he would make it public? People are fucking crazy. | |

His granddaughter Mercedes kinda mentioned something about that before, but not in a spilling the tea fashion. I’m not surprised in the least, in fact thats actually cool. | |

About Marvin´s sexuality...somebody posted it on Twitter. It doesnt mean he was bi, but... (not that I care, but it shows Quincy may not have been so senile) . . | |

It does. In fact, since we are talking about Greg. MJ and him co-wrote MJs version of Behind the Mask. MJ didn't record it, then Greg took the song to Eric Clapton who recorded it.On his album MJ wasn't given credits only Greg and the writers of the original song. So it works both ways, indeed. Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |

Do you actually believe MJ wrote a song. It's not even an attack on MJ. Even though it does drive me bonkers that a pop star constantly gets compared to Prince. Wouldn't cross my mind to listen to MJ beyond radio n cheesy family get togethers. I mean more like Madonna etc. Isn't more they're just so part of the process they get credit. But never could wear that hat on their own To be honest my true take is that writers and producers share credit to get a slice of guarenteed sales. The business model created by the colonel for Elvis. MJ never grew up to be a writer he wouldn't need to. He was a child of the 60s. He wouldn't have that obsession of being a singer songwriter fashioned by Dylan and the Beatles. He was very much part of a factory.Motown. and vety much did not veer from music as a product mentality. Yeh sorry. Got my dig in. Cant bear him | |

i must reiterate, q is stewing because he feels people question his contribution to michaels albums, they dogged him in court, grilled him about what he did in the studio and remember, someone also said that q never wanted billy jean on the album, he says "that's a lie" but someone did say that. | |

People are fucking crazy. It was so long who I can’t remember everything. But it was nothing about him molesting anyone. I don’t believe that AT ALL. I remember reading something about he and Chili but I dont remember the rest. It was so long ago and then it was deleted. People are attention starved. Even if I thought my dad was gay AND knew his lover I wouldn’t tell the world unless he did. | |

ya, i heard the thing about chili, I could see prince doing that, he was mean. and as far as your dad, that's what i'm saying, why concern yourself with your parents sex lives let alone comment on it? wierd. | |

Even though I’m a woman I’m to that but how he would treat people in general. Even still I don’t think Prince was as bad like many of his colleagues. Some of them are into some very demonic stuff. | |

You can make a case that many artist ‘stole’ stuff. Quincy only said Greg was entitled to 10% for a C Section and he claims he took the baseline of BJ not the entire song. I don’t know how you turn that into he wasn’t a song writer. Please sit | |

Cant bear him Your personal feelings toward Michael has crap to do with whether YOU believe Michael ever wrote a song. Michael wrote songs BEFORE Thriller made him a megastar. Michael’s first song that he wrote was “Blues Away”. He also wrote “Heartbreak Hotel”. These are just a few that he wrote as a member of The Jackson’s. That doesn’t take into account the ones he wrote on Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad(every song on album except one),Dangerous, HISTory, Invincible and songs for family members and other artists. I don’t have any idea whether you are ignorant of facts, uniformed or just too lazy to research information. However, that is no excuse for spewing false information. You haters need to not allow your PERSONAL feelings to get in the way of FACTS. Of course, maybe you are just to young to know what you are speaking of. [Edited 2/10/18 12:04pm] | |

Prince wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of other people, he did asshole shit out in the open, i heard his asshole shit in the first year i was a fan. That's the difference, he didn't cover his shit up, he couldn't, and what it usually added up to was "oh, prince was mean to me and made me work hard". The only stories I heard that really even approach the stories i've heard about other people are the ones with jill jones and chili. which, lets face it when men get power they go a little crazy. Compared to these other folks he was an angel. Trust me, not too many in his sphere of stardom not gone and done some wicked crazy shit and gotten away with it, whether it's sinatra, sammy or elvis. | |

michael was a child prodigy as a performer and an artist, anyone that could write hits at, what was his first hit at? 16? has songwriting talent. Quincy's just pissed that they questioned him at that trial. Michael is one of the greatest pop songwriters ever, he really is.
