#GOOD AM MAC MILLER WIKI FOR MAC#
This new chapter represents a new beginning for Mac and shows growth as an artist. GO:OD AM, like the previous albums represents a new chapter in his life. There's nothing more relate able then when someone is completely honest. When someone shares their deepest and darkest thoughts, it creates sympathy and empathy from the listener. The last statement might draw a lot of criticism but the reason for my declaration is that it exposes Mac Miller, not just as a rapper, but as a person. This album is one of the best albums rap or non rap, of all time. Songs like REMember, explored the loss of significant people in his life and the immense lows he suffered and how they influenced his abuse of substances. Lines like, "im not real, i think i never was" from the song I'm Not Real, show the intense amount of doubts he succumbed to. Mac was depressed and it was obvious that he was struggling.
Watching Movies with the Sound Off was a complete u-turn. Blue Slide Park represented him having fun and doing things teenagers are known for including, having lots of sex, experimenting with drugs, and just partying.
What separates Mac Miller from the others is his growth as an artist. He was part of a generation that included Sam Adams, Chris Webby, and Asher Roth, because of this he was constantly looked down as goofy and for the stereotypical music that college white boys all over the country would listen too. For starters, he didn't have the initial buzz of many rappers. For starters, he didn't have the initial buzz of Malcolm James McCormick, who raps by the stage name Mac Miller, is not your typical rapper. He’s never preachy, though: He sounds refreshed and rejuvenated, like someone who has been going for daily walks, eating veggies and drinking fruit smoothies every day.Malcolm James McCormick, who raps by the stage name Mac Miller, is not your typical rapper. "Everybody saying I need rehab/ So I’m speeding with a blindfold on/ It won’t be long before they watching me crash/ And they don’t wanna see that," he raps, thanking the people that got him through the toughest time of his life. On "God Speed", the album’s standout track, he pays tribute to the close friends in his Most Dope Family, especially his right hand man Q, and it’s genuinely touching. The interlude before "God Speed" includes a voicemail from his brother, checking in on him at a low point in his life, and later on in the song, he admits: "White lines be numbing them dark times/ Them pills that I’m popping, I need to man up/ Admit it’s a problem, I need a wake up/ Before one morning, I don’t wake up." It’s funny to hear a 23-year-old who just kicked his habit and could be considered a kid himself refer regretfully to "all the kids doing drugs" on "In the Bag", but Mac has enough of his sense of humor intact to keep the album from playing like a D.A.R.E. "I’ve seen some motherfucking shit," he warns on "Two Matches". Lyrically, Mac offers a music industry "Scared Straight". Miller said he recorded 400 songs for Watching, and sometimes you couldn’t help but wonder about the selection process ( "Objects in the Mirror"?) but on GO:OD AM, he’s learned to self-edit. The beats on GO:OD AM have a New York, boom-bap feel, with lots of jazz samples and harder drums, and it’s both more varied and more upbeat, from the trap-sounding beats of "When in Rome" or the Chief Keef-featuring "Cut the Check" to love songs like "ROS" or the Miguel collaboration "The Weekend". Getting through the 16 tracks on Blue Slide Park was like an endurance test, and even the deeper and much-improved Watching Movies started to sound interchangeable before it ended.
From start to finish, this is his most refined and well put-together project.
