A little over a year back, Mac Miller made his first appearance on Toca Tuesday.  Just over a year later, Mac returns joining the Shade 45 crew along the likes of the OG, Bun B, and Statik Selektah for a nice lengthy interview focused around respect and the heart of hip-hop.  Bun shows undying respect for the young kid as he prep’s for the release of his debut album, Blue Slide Park.  With 7 mixtapes under his belt, Mac explains the depth and concept behind the album and how it is such a full project.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Mac Miller – Party On 5th Ave (Music Video)

After hearing the rip of this track after it’s Hot 97 debut on Tuesday, Mac gives MTV the honors of releasing the official video.  This marks the third official single off Mac’s debut album, Blue Slide Park, and I believe it’s produced by E. Dan.  As BIGLIFE was saying the other day, I’m not sure this album is going to live up to it’s hype.  It’s hard to say because Mac’s mixtapes have been absolute gems, which makes me wonder, did he set the bar too high for himself?

I respect the fact that he’s not featuring any other artists on the album, which is extremely rare, especially for a debut album, but judging by what I’ve heard so far I’m slightly disappointed.  Frick Park Market is my favorite of the three tracks released to date and that hook sounds dangerously similar to “Donald Trump”.  I think Mac’s verses on “Blue Slide Park” and “Party On 5th Ave” have been on point, but the hooks are less than I expected.  In Mac’s favor, his single’s always seem to grow on me, so hopefully that’s the case with these.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Blue Slide Park thus far?

Hip-Hop | Mac Miller – Party On Fifth Ave (Radio Rip)

Posted by on October 25, 2011


Earlier today, Mac Miller tweeted “DJ Enuff is about to premier Party On 5th Ave on Hot 97. Go to hot97.com/streamhot to get the online stream” – well this the best rip I could find of the track. Not don’t freak out when I say this, but I’m starting to get worried that Blue Slide Park might not live up to its expectations. I love Mac just as much as the next guy, but I’m not afraid to call a spade a spade. What do you think, will this project be as good as we expect it to be? Sound off in the comments…

Hip-Hop, Mashups | DJ 21azy – Another Night (Remix ft. J.Cole)

Posted by on October 20, 2011

Woah. That guitar riff + J.Cole. Speechless. DJ 21azy adds Mac Miller’s beat from another night and puts J.Cole’s Who Dat over it. If you haven’t heard his remix to Chiddy Bang’s manners and Chidlish Gambino you can grab that here. Support him and like his Facebook page and make sure to look out for some of his new stuff.

B.o.B. recently teamed up with Playboy Tre and Meek Mill for what could be the second single off his sophomore album, Strange Clouds, due out in early spring of 2012, or another unreleased track off a presumed mixtape dropping sometime between now and then.  Above are the visuals for the track, “Epic”, which the trio goes hard over the wild Lil C production in the confines of a vacant boxing gym.

Statik Selektah is only days away from dropping his highly anticipated album, Population Control, featuring a slew of stars, both young and old.  “Groupie Love”, the third track off the production album features Mac Miller and Josh Xantus.  Judging by the lineup, this will probably be one of the lighter tracks on the record.  Stay tuned, I’ll keep you posted with more releases as the album drops next Tuesday, the 25th.  Also, below is yet another unreleased cut from Mac.  Sounds like an old one.

Wale laid down a short freestyle over Jay-Z’s classic, “What More Can I Say”, with hopes of keeping people tuned in prior to the release of Ambition.  Wale exercises his wordplay on this one and keeps it fresh as always.   Ambition coming 11.1.11.

The Roots tag label mate, Big K.R.I.T. for a verse on their new single off their upcoming album, undun, scheduled to hit shelves 12.6.11.  As expected, here’s a powerful and soulful track that we’ve grown accustomed to hearing from both parties.

Diggy Diggy Diggy can’t you see!  Young Simmons grabs a hook from Jeremih as the the youngin’ drops what could be the fullest song he’s released to date.  I’m still not completely sold on the kid, but with time, he’s got the resources to be a star.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Mac Miller – Rare Mixtape

Posted by on October 18, 2011

What are the odds that today I felt like compiling all the rare Mac Miller tracks that have been releasing everyday this month, to only have his fan site do it and include some extras that the Mac himself added. Odds are 1 in a billion, if I’m feeling lucky, haha. Well with that said there is now a second mixtape before the release of Mac Miller’s new album. Over the past month Mac has been dropping old and new, rare, unreleased tracks hyping up for his debut album. I am no die hard fan, but I enjoy Mac Miller and most of what he drops including this. If you are a die hard fan, which many are these days. You will love this, and if not well I’m sure you will anyways.

Mixtapes | Mac Miller – I Love Life, Thank You [Mixtape]

Posted by on October 15, 2011


After hitting 1 million twitter followers, Mac Miller decided to treat everyone to an entire free mixtape. I’m just as surprised as the next guy at this decisions. Then again, it’ll probably revamp his pre-sales for his upcoming album Blue Slide Park, which is slated to drop early November (unless he hits 100k pre order first). Below are a few of my favorite cuts off this mixtape.
