Watched his Bio last night, Miles was the fukking man

"I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-ass cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his shyt going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherfukker just because he had one or two sorry-ass records out. So I would come late and he would have to go on first and then we got there we smoked the motherfukking place, everybody dug it."

He said it was just a whole lot of notes played really fast for their own sake for the purposes of impressing white people .

Miles was so smooth in that 2nd interview tho: "Don't tell 'em nothing.. let 'em guess"

That's such a standard answer nowadays. Half the people I went to highschool with say that, but they all listen to the same few things- hip-hop, r&b, dancehall, and maybe reggaeton. People really have such a narrow view of music...

Miles was a ridiculously skilled musician, changed the game of jazz like it was nothing. Switched to another style and ended up creating jazz fusion. I still need to grab the autobiography. Favorite album has to be Miles Ahead.

Dude seen the white lady on the cover and told them to "take that white bytch off".
