T-Pain Responds To Quincy Jones’ Explosive Comments

Follow this link:

Source: Globalgrind. Quincy Jones ’ viral interview with Vulture has everyone talking, and T-Pain is the latest to weigh in on the legend’s controversial comments. In addition to outing friends Marvin Gaye , Richard Pryor and Marlon Brando as bisexual, dissing the musicianship of The Beatles , Cyndi Lauper and Jimi Hendrix and sharing personal stories about Donald and Ivanka Trump , Jones also called T-Pain out for failing to pay attention to details while they recorded Jones’ 2010 album Q: Soul Bossa Nostra. Pain responded via Twitter: “For the record I told my managers (at the time) and I told @QuincyDJones in his face ‘I don’t want to remake any of your past records because I know I’m gonna fuck it up. I’ll never be able to reach the greatest of MJ’ it took them hours to pump me up to even go in the booth.” “And I still hated it when I came out of the booth. Then the song came out and it was even worse than it sounded in the studio. This is legit one of the reasons I don’t work with the managers I had anymore because if I said I was uncomfortable doing something they didn’t care.” “But also to be real. It just seems like @QuincyDJones is pissed off at the whole world. I have nothing but respect for the guy so I don’t know why we didn’t hold the song or tell me exactly what he wanted when I kept taking the headphones off beggin for direction from the God.” Read the tweets below: For the record I told my managers (at the time) and I told @QuincyDJones in his face “I don’t want to remake any of your past records because I know I’m gonna fuck it up.

On The Come Up: 60-Year-Old Strip Joint Waitress Settles For 60K In Age Discrimination Suit

Go ‘head Granny: A 60-year-old waitress who claimed she was fired from a Houston flesh palace because of age discrimination received a $60,000 settlement last week from her former employers. Mary Bassi was 56 and slinging drinks at the Cover Girls jiggle joint when she was let go in 2006, according to the Houston Chronicle. Bassi — who earned between the high five figures and low six figures — was canned after two male managers in their 30s joked that she was exhibiting signs of Alzheimer’s and made other snarky cracks, the paper reported. Prior to being cut loose, Bassi alleged that the managers had scheduled younger waitresses to cover her shifts. The owners, denying any wrongdoing, agreed to settle the lawsuit filed by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Bassi is now working at another Houston adult club. Good for her, but it might be time to think about working in a different type of establishment. Source
