GOOD AM MAC MILLER REVIEW MAC
It’s hard to get a clear sense of what the Mac Miller of 2015 feels beyond grateful, a little apologetic and - in the album’s most powerful moments - lonely at the top. He wants to “grow up old and rich” and give his mom “some grandkids, she can spoil them.” When he looks back, it’s about the STDs he didn’t get or the money he made in 11th grade. Beyond the vivid OD vision of “Perfect Circle/God Speed,” Miller’s tales of overcoming drugs don’t have the gut-wrenching confessional feel of great 12-stepper rap like Eminem’s Recovery or even Macklemore’s “Starting Over.” Instead, he’s looking forward, treating his formidable rap skills (still on ample display, though dialed down from his showy peak of 2013’s Watching Movies with the Sound Off) like his 401k plan. I was scared of what emotions the album would pull out of me. Mac Miller is a producer and musician in addition to being a rapper you can hear it. I want to take you all to the first time I heard Circles in early October 2019. The Pittsburgh native’s third full-length LP is the first of a 10 million deal with Warner Bros. Cole or Big Sean disciple, habitually counting his many blessings. Review: Mac Miller Releases His First Major-Label Album, GO:OD AM. Ain’t saying that I’m sober / I’m just in a better place, Mac Miller croons over the Tyler the Creator-produced intro to GO:OD AM. has him turning into the most boring type of major label rapper: a J. Was a bit of a shame to see that the vinyl arrived with a couple of dents in the album cover, deterioration of the inner sleeve (leaving bits of paper disintegrating to dust on the vinyl), and poor application of the label on the vinyl. There are very few albums in hip-hop that cover drug addiction, and the negative/emotional side of it as well as this. With so much of GO:OD AM wrapped up in disappointment, The Festival is a celebration where Mac Miller articulates his drama with prose, rather than drilling. Without the lure of parties or the agoraphobic agony of drugs, Miller’s first album for Warner Bros. “the first album I recorded while being happy in a long time,” an opportunity for him to face addiction, insomnia and his tortured insides with clarity on songs like “Weekend.” It’s easily his most mature work – but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s his most entertaining. Again and Again he delivers quality among and above the rest, this is just one album in a collection he has released in his time.
Now, as the 23-year-old says on his third studio album, it’s time to “man up.” He calls GO:OD A.M. Recently, the 23 year-old Pittsburgh native was able to sit down.
With his first album he became a grassroots rap megastar. Coming off of his latest album drop GO:OD AM, Mac Miller has been on an interesting journey as of late. Rapper Mac Miller emerged in 2011 like a weeded fratboy frosh looking for the best party, and came out of 2013 like a depressive college radio MC laboring over his best rhymes. Mac Miller has accomplished every goal he ever set for himself.
