The album pays respect to his roots, named after a park near his High School, but shows that Mac is indeed growing both his mic skills and his perspective. In Mac’s first somewhat introspective album, he deals with heartbreak, fake fans, and the issues of fame. Personal favorites: Get Up, Best Day Ever, Donald Trump, Wear My Hat
Mac’s bars were steadily developing, but his mind was all understandably wrapped up in his recent fame. Songs like Best Day Ever and Donald Trump, which gained popularity after his feud with the entrepreneur/politician, are filled with lines about optimism for his career and about his love for touring for the fans. The mixtape is filled with the swagger he gained from being 19 and famous. Personal favorites: Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza, Nikes on My Feet, La La La, Senior Skip DayĪ few months later, Mac was finally seeing the money he deserved. Everything is about the bars and even the corny ones show that Mac was incredibly skilled, yet still had a lot of room to grow. The mixtape is full of classic beats on Nikes on my feet, Traffic in the Sky, Knock Knock and more. Mac starts getting noticed with his fourth mixtape, Kickin’ Incredibly Dope S**t (K.I.D.S.) with lyrics about rollin’ around hometown Pittsburgh, smoking with his crew, and the new shoes he cops. To analyze his growth over 26 short years, we’ll dive into his albums and more popular mixtapes: Musically, most know Mac for his 5 studio albums, but he was very busy off of the record (no pun intended) that led to 12 other mixtapes, adding numerous classics to his repertoire. Watch any of his interviews or even most recently, his NPR Tiny Desk, where he puts all of his energy into his appearances and still is able to be in high spirits. Separate from music, Mac had his own TV show and was always seen cracking jokes. Mac’s life and journey were transparent and portrayed through his amazing musical growth. Growing up with him, his audience stuck close as they also went through hardships and felt similar pains. Pittsburgh loved him and was loyal before his career really took off, spreading his relatable college rap to young kids all over. He played five instruments, sang, rapped and produced music for over a decade since his start as a promising young teenager.
In his short 26 years of life, Mac Miller developed into the definition of a complete artist.
