Quincy has never been one to hold his tongue for anyone and a recent interview he did was no different. He got right to the point when asked about what he thought about today’s music makers and he said this…by the way there’s a lil’ bit of curse words in here…

Via Page Six:

“What we need is a minister of culture to preserve jazz and blues. We’re the antithesis of Beethoven. Our music came from animals. From African life sources. Workers rites, circumcision rites. That’s where music began.

“All these kids today do it for money. Those bitches and ho’s are making millions. It’s me who helped bring them, my new brothers, into the business. God walks out of the room if you’re doing it for money. Never pimp the hood.”

More on how he feels about the music industry: (Via The Daily Beast)

How do you feel about the state of the music industry today?

There is no music industry. There’s just concerts now. The record business is 98 percent piracy everywhere on the planet. We’ve got a few things we can’t talk about yet that we’re going to try to do to fix it. I always look at problems like a puzzle.

Are you a Justin Bieber fan?

[Shakes head] Every time I talk about it I get in trouble. Are you?

No.

Then why do you think I would be? [Laughs] Today, being a pop star is about two things:personality and scandal. Every time someone puts out an album now, you get a DUI or shoot somebody. It’s a problem.

Do you see anybody even touching Michael Jackson? Kanye West has often compared himself to Michael.

Come on, man! Not even close.

Do you blame Quincy for feeling the way he feels about today’s music?

What you’re about to witness are some of today’s “hit makers”…their lyrical content is the subject matter in question here…
