#MAC MILLER BLUE SLIDE PARK SHIRT FULL#
“I love the shit by the wrist, this crown is a big one… I have a full leg dedicated to just stupid tattoos. Miller was found dead at his home in Los Angelis in September 2018 and the reason was none other than a drug overdose. It is clearly evident from his beautiful range of body inks that he had received on his body.
#MAC MILLER BLUE SLIDE PARK SHIRT MAC#
Mac was known to be a big fan of getting inked on his body. He was the victim of substance abuse which was often depicted by him through his song lyrics. Mac’s debut album “Blue Slide Park” (2011) was able to reach number-one on the US Billboard 200. Miller has real talent beneath his spring break soundtrack, and with some life experience and some dictionary time, he could yet step up out of the park and start playing with the big boys.Malcolm James McCormick, professionally known as Mac Miller was an American Rapper, Singer, and Record Producer.
It’s the contrast of the serious and the funny that lifts ‘Blue Slide Park’ from the tedious American Pie humour for which Mac Miller is often criticised, and the album as a whole saunters and bounces along.
Or the ‘did he just say that?’ line on ‘Of The Soul’, one of the prettiest songs on the album, where fused with a lulling piano line, we hear his delightful take on oral sex: “ Put it in her mouth/Orthodontist”. Take his upfront reference to his Jewish heritage in ‘PA Nights’: “ We just tryna work so we can blow up like a Molotov/Thinkin’ bout my people who was murdered in the Holocaust”. Alongside this, his ability to disorientate the listener is admirable, as he tackles important and playful subjects. There are a few questionable deviations along the way – namely ‘Up All Night’ which sounds like a bad Ramones cover – but generally the production is so good you rarely notice Miller’s exhausting overuse of the words “ dope” and “ ill”. He raps lazily to laidback hooks, then attacks the bassier, sped-up moments with cocky wordplay. It’s layered with interesting sonic textures throughout, be they jolting injections of electronica or stoned-sounding, warped beats that lay the foundation for Miller’s drawl. Negatives aside, ‘Blue Slide Park’ is full of surprises, mostly in the production (helmed in the main by ID Labs, but also by A$AP Rocky favourite Clams Casino on ‘One Last Thing’). His choice of cultural references – “ Donkey Kong”, “ Scott Pilgrim”, “ hashtags” and the like – hint at horizons that have remained so far unbroadened, as does ‘Party On 5th Ave’, which includes the obligatory anthemic ‘fun’ sample from Marva Whitney’s ‘Unwind Yourself’. The album’s second weakness is Miller’s ‘frat rap’, a style that occasionally rears its ugly, snapback cap-adorned head. Strangely this running theme forms one of the album’s weaknesses, as he labours the suggestion that he’s entering a new phase of life, a point clunkily illustrated on ‘Loitering’: “ I’m too old to be chilling at the playground”. It’s unsurprising, therefore, that ‘Blue Slide Park’ (named after a favourite childhood hangout of Miller’s in Pittsburgh) is undercut with reflections on where Mac’s been.
He’s come a long way since he released ‘But My Mackin’ Ain’t Easy’ at just 16 years old. Then he was featured as part of a wet dream of hip-hop hopefuls alongside Yelawolf and Lil B on hip-hop magazine XXL’s Freshman list of 2011, certifying him as a baby-faced one to watch. He’s released one album and seven mixtapes since 2007. In hip-hop years, 20-year-old Malcolm ‘Mac Miller’ McCormick is practically old school.
