When the album was released, my aunt played the hell out of it front to back. As an adult, I appreciate the work put into this album and still wonder why it is still underrated. The critics said "no-no" to this release, my theory to that is because it is laden with hip hop beats and so apart from Miles' older style. The album's production and the fact that Miles was ill at the time of recording is nothing short of phenomenal. The album has aged well and will be appreciated by many more MIles Davis fans sooner or later.

I enjoy this album far more than the jazz critics would deem possible, and have since it was released. Miles sounds as good and strong as ever on his Harmon muted trumpet, and while the hip hop production and raps certainly aren't groundbreaking, I think they have aged reasonably well, and better than some others from the era. I dig all Miles, from his early sides with Parker, all the way to this last studio album. I like that he was always looking for fresh ideas and new kinds of music to inspire his playing. 4/5 -
The last studio album from Miles and I had mixed feelings about it, mostly good though. I'll start by saying that the cover artwork does confuse listeners as to what style of jazz is on the album. I thought it would sound like Bitches Brew, but it's not. It's jazz mixed with Hip Hop, and in much the same way Us3 would do it at about the same time. So what we have is producer/rapper Easy Mo Bee mixing hip hop drums and samples while Miles Davis played the horn, and yes, three tracks contain lyrics too. The problem with the lyrics I have is that they are pretty lame and mostly praise Miles, but I guess it's his album anyway.
There was 6 tracks recorded with Miles before he died and 2 done post-humous. The production is so well done that one can't tell which is which and I'll live it to the listener to find out. I like this kind of jazz and although critics hated this album I think, for the time, it was something new and fresh and even fans of St Germain may get a kick out of the instrumental ones.
