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

That’s right, tell it like it T-I-Is Quincy! Do you blame Quincy for feeling the way he feels about today’s music? After listening to some of the number one songs on the radio today, I salute Quincy for speaking the truth! On a side note, y’all need to flip through the next pages to hear some of the “b*@ches and h*&s” music that’s considered top 10 hits of today that Q is talking about…
Listen to bitches and ho’s music, no thanks!

Gone are the days when the musicians, singers and songwriters had skills and class. 🙁

Very few young people of this generation know what real and genuine music is. Ask many of them who Horace Silver, Sam Cooke or Ella Fitzgerald are, and they have no clue. The only way they recognize the Temptations or OJays are from samples inside tracks from the crap rappers. I somewhat fault the music executives who sign these “artists” to their labels and tell them what to play, and those same “artists” who are looking for money over substance.

The unfortunate thing is that what’s played on the radio is packed with styling, posturing, and razzmatazz. There are not a lot of vocalists standing flat-footed at a microphone and singing with a full band playing in the background. It’s shaking that moneymaker and dropping rap lyrics like you’re the hardest cat around.
A few musicians I’ve been following for years and a few I recently discovered watching Black&SexyTV on YouTube – Ahmed Sirour, Robert Glasper, Eric Roberts, Lalah Hathaway, Esperanza Spaulding, Alegra Dolores, Meshell Ndegeocello, Gwen Bunn, Deborah Bond, Jesse Boykins III, and Chantae Cann. The list is longer.

I personally would love to see some of today’s singers just stand flat footed and sang in tuxes/gowns without a light show, canned vocals and vulgar dance moves. I think some can actually do it, but would love to see it happen!

It’s all about money and what sells quick, these label s don’t care about quality. The only thing these no talented fools gave is a bunch of Dr Seuss rhymes and sex and imagery to sell their b.s. The young ppl don’t know better because the label pay the radio stations to play their product over and over again, just sit and listen to the radio and notice how you hear the same songs over and over again, brainwashing, these d.j.s promote negativity and make it seem good and promote buffoonery to our young, all this to keep their jobs. It all boils down to $ and selling the ppl out for it

Quincy is 100% correct. so thankful I grew up in the era of real musicians. I think it started when they took music education out of public schools. thats the best time for a young kid to pick up an instrument because the brain cells are fresh and making connections at a rapid rate
