Title: it had promise
Product review: The fusion of hip hop and jazz had to happen at some point- and Miles was the only logical choice to do it, seeing as many of his 70's funk grooves pointed the way towards hip hop, instrumentally speaking.While Miles' supposed colaborations with Prince would have been more commercially viable, these recordings are not terrible. Yes, the rapping itself is lame and trite, but the concept unto itself is what mattered. And for that, Miles delivered some very confident playing.While certainly not essential listening, "Doo-Bop" did re-prove the obvious- Miles did everything his way, when he wanted to do them. Jazz and hip hop have merged some since, and will continue to do so, and when it breaks loose, as I'm sure it will, we can once again say "Miles was ahead of his time."
