Of course its hyperbolic...

But how much hyperbolic shit is said in a backyard bbq??

Is your beef that he's cutting himself off from creativity? Or not listening to whats happening thats new in jazz?

That he could make it relevant but chooses not to?

I mean imo there is an interesting Jazz undercurrent in alot of Chance's stuff.. most of his band are super talented jazz band kids...

Pharrell would be nowhere w/o Major 7ths

What Terrace and Kendrick do also infuses jazz into the NOW

BUT..

All this stuff happened AFTER that statement.. I mean MBDTF came out in 2010. This statement is a whole college career old
