His 2011 album, Blue Slide Park, reached No. After his big splash, he’s been able to find a groove and consistently release quality rap records, ultimately keeping his name in the conversation with the other young greats. We were introduced to Mac Miller via 2011’s XXL Freshman Class, which featured a special crop of MCs such as Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill and YG, all of whom are now considered in the upper echelon of hip-hop. With nearly a decade under his belt at 26 years old, these words ring like an artist twice his age. “I ain’t asking why no more I know I’ll take it if it’s mine I don’t stay inside the lines It ain’t 2009 no more Yeah, I know what’s behind that door.” Backed by a piano loop and a string quartet, he reflected on his journey’s peaks and valleys thus far. On “2009,” he rubbed his chin with clinched eyes, looking like a young man who’s beginning to crack the code. It’s the first time he’s performed tracks from his new album, ‘Swimming,’ in front of an audience.
“There was a shift in Mac Miller’s boisterous demeanor as he started the third of his three-song Tiny Desk set. He is in the water and while it seems overwhelming and crashing down at times, he will not drown. He’s going to be fine I should’ve known by the title of the first single, “Self Care”, that he was going to get it together, but it’s after watching this performance I understand the title of Mac’s fifth album. My review of Miller’s latest album, Swimming is that it should be played in enclosed spaces so all the lyrics and production can be consumed not letting a single second from this album be lost. Judging by his NPR performance, we get to see hints of the same smiling kid we meet back in 2010 when he released the KIDS mixtape (Remember mixtapes?).
MAC MUSIC PRODUCTION DESKS FOR MAC
Miller Mac! After a break-up that lead to alcohol abuse, I feared the worst for Mac Miller since his recovery from drugs back in 2013.
