His real genius is combining the Jazz Theory Ray Charles taught him with the Classical Orchestration that Nadia Boulanger taught him. He can write a score without using a piano which is amazing! The arrangements on "Sinatra At The Sands" are sexy like Jill St. John in 'Diamonds Are Forever'. I think on his early 70's recordings he would have the jazz cats come in and play and it would sound like very hip instrumental music. The Brothers Johnson give him a funkier palette to work with. I think on "Stuff Like That" he started the concept of guest vocalists. And at the same time he had Jerry Hey and Paulinho Da Costa writing these great horn and rhythm arrangements. Then he heard Rod Temperton's songwriting in Heatwave that he loved with all of the natural counterpoint. When the time came to do "Off The Wall" he combined those elements. BUT Q did not blow up MJ. MJ blew up Q. Q produced a few more albums in addition to his work with MJ and we weren't jamming to "Ai No Corrida" and "Love Is In Control" like we were jamming to "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" and "Billie Jean" so that TELLS you something. And I guess the "Musical Community Organizer" aspect of Q for the past few years has been to cast each new generation doing "The Q Songbook" which is valid but that seems to get diminishing returns with the level of talent he has to work with. Hopefully "Q Cosa Nostra" won't turn out to be "Back On The Chopping Block".  | |

Timmy84 said: SoulAlive said: I agree.Quincy used to be one of the greatest producers of our time,but those days are long gone! He's become artistically lazy and complacent,allowing rappers and guest artists to dominate his own album.It's sad that he's choosing to go out this way. He's been like that since the ending of his production days with MJ. No Quincy hasn't I'm so sick of u judgmental people attacking Quincy. He discovered one of the best singers if not the best in my opinion of his generation. Mr. Tevin Campbell since MJ.....  will ALWAYS think of  like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. |

But I knew most of his history from an interview he gave recently, I never knew he was responsible for Lady Gaga until that interview recently. He is set for the rest life off of her alone It's still a Wikipedia claim.  And that wasn't to attack ya, just saying.  Yes it was an attack & U know it. But I forgive U this time...lol will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"!

Akon co-produced Konvict Muzik artist Lady Gaga's first studio album The Fame and co-wrote & produced the worldwide smash-hit "Just Dance", which also featured Colby O'Donis and earned a Grammy nomination at the 51st Grammy Awards. He signed Lady Gaga on his label before she hit it big. He is known as one of the most successful and versatile R&B singers of the 21st century, grossing over 30 million dollars a year according to Forbes.Akon often sings hooks for other artists and is currently accredited with over 300 guest appearances and 40 Billboard Hot 100 songs. So that's how he became a success. So there That doesn't really answer my question. What are the great songs Akon has been apart of and what part did he play? One of the most versatile RnB singer of the 21st century? That nassally whiny thin and often procesed to hell voice is not something I would wanna put out there as a great instrument. You seem to be a fan so tell me, what are the great songs he has written or performed on? His grammy nom was for "Smack That", I know that song, it's terrible so I again I wouldn't be bragging about that. Actually I'm not a fan of his at all. I also think his singing voice is horrible. I was just pointing out 2 U. That he has been very successful. Especially with discovering Lady Gaga. will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"!

Adisa said: Dancelot said: and for the record, I absolutely love "Q's Joook joint"
 superior to "Back on the Block", which didn't age really well and sounds dated today
I agree. Musically I didn't understand the hype surrounding Back On The Block when it was released.  Nor did I really like that it had 20,000 artists on it.
I think its good that Wincy Clones wants to get back involved in music, esp. at his age, but come on dude. This formula is  BUMP... I swear that Im still laughing at this ...Wincy clones 
...whenever I remember that , I laugh so hard , I don't know why.....Wincy MICHAEL JACKSON

All I know about 2Pac's attack on Quincy was because he "likes to fuck white women", thats it screams like a "no shit" alert to me.
The funny thing about it though was, one of Quincy's daughters(Rashia or the other girl, forgot her name) confronted Pac about it and became friends later. | |

Her name is Rashida and her and Tupac became a hot item after that until his untimely tragic death It was Kidada but yeah they were engaged at one point. I think Rashida confronted 'Pac about Quincy but I'm not sure. I know Tupac wanted to apologize to one of them and he ended up apologizing to Kidada if memory serves me correct. | |

Get ready to barf while listening to Akon's rendition of "Strawberry Letter 23". I believe Quincy is obligated to make public apologies for his role in facilitating the creation of this monstrosity.  | |
