@ scooby..@ all the haters...I was simply insinuating that Miles Davis Music should be incorporated into Hip Hop with the permission of his children of course because the latest hip hop really does suck...Im afraid Jay Z's creativity has diminished since his blueprints..on the other hand...Music and or any other Art in the world is stolen...Artists are all thieves...it just depends on how they weave the old into their new....get it...got it???ok then scooby...eat a snack.

As a matter of fact, it's too bad he didn't live through the mid 90s, which was kind of the golden age of rap music. I bet he would have either collaborated with some of the best in the business -- Or, as he had done many times before, found some incredibily talented, unknown performers and brought them into prominence.

@MrGorsuch Well...Miles was always in tune with new developments in vernacular music, especially among black people. His electric albums in the late 60s and 70s were an interpretation of the funk and rock music of Hendrix and Sly Stone to name a few. So you're kidding yourself if you don't think he would have explored rap in his music. In fact, his final album in 1991 had rappers performing on it!

@MrGorsuch Miles is dead son.

@MrGorsuch what about Mos Def, Madlib, and A Tribe Called Quest for one? There shouldn't be distinctions in music, just good music and bad. And the ability to distinguish those two divisions grows as you continue to open your ears. I'm still in that process, but never limit yourself. I am still obsessed with Miles, Coltrane, Evans (all three) and all those great horn, piano, vocal, bass, drums, guitar greats. But keep genre out of good music, Miles certainly did.

@MrGorsuch im not sure why you're comparing miles to rap beats/artists, completely irrelevant. there is much rap that is timeless, you are speaking on something you dont understand. I respect miles as much as the next jazz fan, but you sir should not talk about things you dont understand.

Miles Davis....was and is currently a musical genius, and its a shame that rap artists don't emulate him....cause his music beats all rap period........
