BLUE SLIDE PARK LYRICS MAC

ItвЂ™s easy to downplay Mac Miller as the proverbial pesky little brother or to glob him into the ever-growing вЂanother white rapperвЂ™ menagerie, but thereвЂ™s budding talent here that hints at a career well past quippy one-liners. The rapper explained to me afterward that he forewent collaborations to keep the album self-focused and thereby avoid relying on anyone but himself for the albumвЂ™s success or lack thereof. The album is devoid of guest appearances, refreshing for a neophyte, aside from instrumentation from Mansions on the Moon and a small handful of others (Mac also mans the guitar on some tracks). The jumpy single вЂњFrick Park MarketвЂќ and the teen anthem-ready вЂњLoiteringвЂќ were standout cuts and featured the suburban playfulness Mac has artfully honed completely with shout-outs to вЂњchillinвЂ™ in the playgroundвЂќ and Adderall name checks. Above the din of beer bottle caps being dislodged, crunchy pretzels being munched, marijuana not-so-surreptitiously being passed, and journalists wheeling and dealing future pitch ideas, I strained to actually listen to music.Дistractions aside, Blue Slide Park sounded pretty good itвЂ™s fun, upbeat and teeming with youthful vigor. Fraternal love however proved both enjoyable and very maddening and greatly impeded the critical listening experience. Tet we can only imagine how our favorite Swedish foursome would fare in the present-day musical mГ©lange.ДЄ rare collegial geniality pervaded the room and Г la the opening theme to CheersвЂ“it really felt that everyone knew each other. Nine platinum plaques (signifying nine million sales) from Ace of BaseвЂ™s debut The Sign for instance, glistened visibly on the wall. The multitude of accolades and plaques adorning the studioвЂ™s walls seem more decoration now than anything and hearken back to better, seemingly obsolete times.

Symbolically speaking (not so much acoustically), the plush lounge space served as an ideal venue for the burgeoning Pittsburgh rapperвЂ™s fare Quad Recording Studios has long been a fertile breeding ground imbued with musical history from 2PacвЂ™s infamous 1994 shooting to the countless notables who have recorded there like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Joint in handвЂ“sometimes alternated with a bottle of champagneвЂ“and cloaked in a hooded sweatshirt with a pair of slide sandals with socks, the wunderkind known for goofy lyrics about mogul Donald Trump and turkey sandwiches previewed Blue Slide Park (slated for release) to a small group of hip-hop journalists and influencers last night at Quad Recording Studios. вЂњTurn it up loud because I like to listen to it loud,вЂќ Mac Miller gleefully prefaced as his debut album blared over the speakers.
