Title: 2nd-rate Miles Davis over a 2nd-rate hip-hop soundtrack.
Product review: "Doo-Bop" represents Miles Davis' last studio recording. I can think of nothing else of interest to note regarding this disc. If the liner notes are to be trusted, Davis chose hip-hop tracks laid down by "Easy Mo Bee" and played his trumpet over them. To give credit where it is due, some of his trumpet passages are worth hearing. Many more are not, certainly in comparison to the 40+ years of work he had laid down prior to this. As for the backing tracks, "Easy Mo Bee" hasn't been heard from again, and the reason why is not hard to determine from a quick listen to this: as hip-hop goes, this is not prime material. What seals the 1-star rating is the rapping. Even in the banality-drenched world of hip-hop, "Easy Mo Bee's" lyrics are worthless. This record is just awful; for Miles Davis completists and devotees of second-rate hip-hop only.
