From Walking In Space to Thriller, the quintessential Quincy Jones has dominated the musicology of more than one generation. While giving praise to Q, your favorite Snobs take time to ask: who is the Quincy Jones of the last 20 years? Inspired by the brilliance surrounding that conversation, Jehan, Arthur, Isaac, and Scoop decide to examine the word ‘genius’ itself to see when it’s been used justly and when it’s just been overused. To cap things off the Snobs ask each other an interesting question: Which of your music heroes would you rather not meet?

Frank talks to the NY Times Magazine about a recent TMS subject:
His grandmother was Pentecostal Evangelical, and his mother and her siblings were teased as kids for being “holy rollers.” “I never sang or played in church,” Ocean wrote in one of his first Tumblr posts. “I remember being kind of intimidated by the idea of it actually. Church was the ’hood Juilliard to me. All the coldest musicians came out of there.” Eventually he left his mother’s church and struck out on his own, attending Catholic Mass for a while and then a small Lutheran school, though that was less about religion than discipline.
Haven’t read the entire piece but it seems interesting…
