Kendrick Lamar is quickly becoming the music world’s favorite interviewer of legends, today adding another high-profile conversation with one of the most important producers of all time, Quincy Jones. The talk came to happen thanks to the good folks over at Hypetrak, and during their conversation K. Dot asks Quincy about the making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Jones schooling about where Rap’s origins are really from, and a good number of short inspirational lines for up-and-coming generations.
Hear Dr. Dre interview Jones over at Pitchfork, a conversation during which we hear of the legendary producer’s upbringing in Chicago, how a career in music steered him away from a life in crime, working with Michael Jackson, and much more.
