#Up all night blue slide park mac
In this song Mac opens up about emotions he hasn’t touched before. PA Nights would be the point where it’s late into the party and the night. The point of day in this song would be later afternoon/early evening as we’re taken to a party.
He does this by taking an older sample with heavy saxophone and flips it into a more modern beta which makes for a very fun song. The purpose of this song is to bridges the gap between the old and new generation. is the next song where we exit the park and what on down to 5th Ave. In the day, this would late morning and where we stay for a decent portion of the day. He really captures the vibe of what Blue Slide Park is to him here. This is the start of his career in the limelight and I love the lyricism he comes with as he flows smoothly over a single long verse. In the day, this song would be the morning.īlue Slide Park is our first destination where Mac raps over a boom bap beat about his success mostly. This is the perfect opener to the album and I love how the tracks really take you on a geographic journey. The few lyrics on this song Mac says that he wants to go to blue slide park since it feels like home. We’re walking into the park and can hear children playing. In the arc of the story were taken down an alleyway that leads to blue slide park. All in all I don’t know if this album is still poorly received, but I sure hope people can come back to this 2011 debut album and find something as enjoyable off of it as I did.Įnglish Lane starts the album by setting the scene. I don’t know if my infatuation with Mac as an artist makes this a higher ranking, but something about him is just so interesting to me and makes me want to dive into his whole discography and really see who Mac Miller is as an artist, and as a person. Lines like “Life’s so good, please enjoy it!” are haunting when compared to some lines off of Faces where he explicitly talks about suicide and how he thinks the final song on that mixtape would be the last song he ever put out. Of course Swimming is a lot more refined, but this was the start of his career and I think shows a more untainted Mac Miller. It’s very interesting to look back at where he was in 2011 and see how changed all the way up to his final album Swimming. None of the songs sound the same yet there’s a sense of wholeness. I think this is an incredible debut album and really shows his versatility within this album itself, and as an artist as a whole.
It’s not a grand master work like TPAB, but it’s not trying to be something like that, he’s just trying to have fun with it and I found that it was done very successfully. A lot of the songs are very fun and infectious, it almost feels like 2011’s Die Lit if that makes sense because it’s all about having fun and you don’t have to focus on the lyrics too hard. I thought it had a good concept where you start off on English Lane and you’re taken through a geographic music experience as you make your way around town and see what Mac sees. While it’s not a lyrical masterpiece, there wasn’t a single song on here that wasn’t enjoyable to me. I can easily see this being an album that I can return to in the future and enjoy. Blue Slide Park is the debut studio album by Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller, released on November 8, 2011, by Rostrum Records.Īpparently this album had pretty mixed and generally poor reception from critics and fans alike when it was first released in 2011, and that honestly shocks me because I found this album to be incredibly enjoyable.
