Man...you could argue as far as accom[plishments go this was the greatest man living. Man this one sucks. As a fan though the good thing is his music lives on. Damn.
And that orange moron is still running aroundDamn, he passed a day before election day. I'm sure he voted for Harris and didn't get a chance ro see her win.
RIP to a true legend!

RIP you were one of if not the Best to ever do it
It always hurts to lose one of the pillars of the grand mansion of Black culture, even though all of us are predestined a time to die.
Still, with many of our icons- Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Prince, Basquiat, Donny Hathaway, Minnie Riperton, Phyllis Hyman, Whitney Houston, Luther, Rick James, Tupac, Biggie, etc leaving here before old age - it feels like their endings were premature. One wonders how creative culture would have been shaped had some of them not left so early.
Quincy Jones was truly blessed to lead a full life and fulfill his artistic purpose.

First I wanna give my condolences to the Jones family for the loss of their father, their patriarch Quincy Jones.
In this moment I want to say that even though Quincy has left this earth he leaves a legacy and a lesson for all of us.
That legacy and lesson is LIVING.
Did you know Quincy Jones was 49 years old when he produced “Thriller” on Michael Jackson? Arguably one of the greatest accomplishments of his life and of all time was done at a middle point in his life. Think about that.
So much emphasis is put on accomplishing things at such a young age now a lot of times it leaves many people feeling like it’s too late to be great or find yourself.
It’s not. Quincy Jones should always serve as an inspiration to keep pushing to be your best and keep living life through the process But also understand that his success did not come without hard work and dedication.
That hard work and dedication for you can start today.
Living 91 years on earth is the biggest flex. Remember that when you see your elderly grandparents and parents. They’ve seen it all.
Quincy Jones LIVED and we should all be inspired by his life and legacy.
Rest in Heaven Quincy ️
