Yesterday, Quincy Jones turned 76. Besides founding Vibe magazine, the legendary producer has always been supportive of hip-hop culture and rap’s new generation. So it’s only right we at RR acknowledge the man.
Let’s start with the two biggest songs that sampled sounds from his extensive catalogue.
Ludacris “Number One Spot”
Pharcyde “Passin’ Me By”

Update: My bad. Make that 3! Duh!
Mobb Deep “Shook Ones Pt. 2″

Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
on the grind.
