Miles Davis made a hip-hop record. This should be an easy episode to do, right? I mean, we like Miles Davis. We like hip-hop. But… we also read Miles Davis’ autobiography. This wasn’t the episode we set out to make, but here we are.

We’ve got some stuff to tangle with. And it’s been brewing for some time. Our experience with music is shaped by our ideas about the people who make that music. Your mileage may vary, of course, but we’ve got a lot to unpack here. Bear with us.

On a lighter note, Ralph made a beat for Michael to improvise over. You know, like on Doo-Bop. But things went horribly awry. You’ll see.

Megadeth sure did a thing here. And Megadeth fans sure didn’t like it. But why not? Calibrate your expectations and let us help you find a way to enjoy this thing!

Also in this episode: Ralph and Michael attempt to banter like normal podcasters. And they talk about that movie Highlander, for some reason. But it’s more on-topic than you would think.

Is Risk the perfect album for a day by the pool? Maybe. And maybe that’s the problem: Megadeth fans don’t go swimming enough.

Plus, we read listener mail and Ralph performs “Wanderlust” like you’ve never heard it before!
