Heaven definitely got an upgrade with you,” wrote Victoria Monet. “It took my mom a while to understand what I did. She just knew it was something to do with music and turntables and machines,” wrote Just Blaze. “It didn’t really click fully until we went to the Grammys for the first time along with her students asking if it was true she was Just Blaze’s mother. She couldn’t figure out how they knew who I was. Eventually one day she asked ‘so are you like Quincy Jones, but for rap music?’”
“Rest in peace Quincy, truly one of the greatest ever! Worth can’t describe the importance. Thanks for everything my Dude,” wrote Pete Rock. “The Reason. Thank you for everything Mr. Quincy Jones,” wrote The Weeknd.
