Q is crazy and all but his comments are spot on regarding Diddy and so the fuck what this is something that has been constantly said? I dont see anything wrong with what he said honestly..... cause its true
Its not like there are legends on Q's status truthfully keeping it real as far as todays music scene goes.... ex. Stevie doing a song with Drake etc...
While Diddy is a businessman he is overrated in terms of his music and him as a overall rapper/producer. Just because his been in the business for over a decade doesnt necessarily mean his spectacular at what he does and I just think Q is just speaking his opinion on him music wise. Q is an old bitter queen sometimes but he was correct with these comments.
In him saying this doesnt mean his complaining. His been in the business for a long ass time, worked with alot of legendary acts and has watch the music industry changed. His just giving his opinion on some of the artists out now but this forum looks at people giving their construtive opinions on post 80s music/artist as complaining
I read this thread and it's not like Q said somethinf false. Diddy is a genius when it comes to marketing, not his music. AND I am not hating, I'm telling it like it is. Whether this is an argument about what's Real Music VS. Music Today; I think so many of you have points. However Diddy is not even close to Q's status in terms of music. Markerting he exceeds, but the name that is On P.Diddy is not a name given because of his music but his business's..etc.
What's the fuss? lol
EXACTLY.....
and these motherfuckers had the nerve to bring up JIMI DAMN HENDRIX in a discussion over P Diddy

I don't like Puffy but the fact is all this topic is is another "my music is better than yours" thread

Well we'll never know now because he's been dead 42 years now. But in what I saw why would you think he could read music? Which is all I was really saying? Some folks called some musicians geniuses because of their ability to play by ear rather than read it. That's all I was saying.

I'm not talking about reading music at all. I'm talking about Jimi knowing what notes made up any chord he played. I'm talking about someone playing a C#minor 7th chord on a guitar, and Jimi being able to tell you that it was a C#minor7th without looking at the guy playing the guitar.
Whether Jimi played by ear or read music isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Jimi's knowledge of notes, scales and chords. I guarantee you he knew everything about those things that there was to know.
He didn't just put his fingers on the fretboard in various random formations.
exactly, I would bet all my money (which granted is not much) that he knew the names of the chords he played and the notes on the guitar.
As you know, that's not the same as reading music. He probably played by ear, true, but that doesn't mean you don't actually know what you're playing.
But regardless of whether Jimi or Diddy knew B flats, the comment was not meant to be literal. There clearly ARE great musicians who don't know musical notes.
Q is just saying PD is not a real musician. If Diddy did know a B flat it wouldn't make him any better

Right! I'm not talking about reading music, and I don't think Q was either. I'm talking about knowing what a Bb is when you hear it. That's what I think Q was referring to because I know that if you wanted to slam someone's musical talent (or lack thereof), that's exactly the way you'd do it.
Now aardvark, on the other hand, is doing some excellent trolling!
What Qunicy is saying is very true, but I'd just wish that Quincy could shut up and enjoy his millions because he's so annoying!
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.

Do you really think there are pros out there who couldn't tell you what notes they were playing when they made an A chord?
I mean, I've never ever been in a jam session or recording session or any gathering of players where, if someone said, "OK, this song is in D" that there was ANYONE who didn't know what to do next.
On the other hand, I do know that Hank Williams could not READ music and used what they called the "Nashville Numbering System" (which we all use today to some degree), but even then everyone had to know the notes/chords in a key, so that you knew what "Play 1-4-5-1" meant.

I would guess not too many, but I would think there were a few of the old blues musicians who didn't know much theory, but just played chord shapes or scale shapes.

Yeah, I can see that.
I knew a guy in college who was learning to play, and he was getting pretty good. And he knew absolutely nothing, just played purely by ear. I was shocked, because it was exactly the opposite of how I learned. I always wanted to know what I was playing. I couldn't imagine not being curious.
Actually I saw a clip once of Dave Navarro, and at one point he said "what chord is this, a C?" I could not believe he had to ask. So he may know his chords, but it's clearly not how he's thinking when he plays.
But you're right, virtually every time you play with people it's "Let's play ________ in the key of _________"
Michael's best stuff had little to no involvement from QJ
Except for production.
Dangerous, HIStory, and Invincible were all done without Quency and those are probably my 3 favorites by Michael, and I know many fans can agree on Dangerous.

Dangerous is my favourite.
HIStory has some superb tracks on it, but others are fillers.
