Mac Miller returns, and this time with perhaps more of the
cheesy raps. No he’s nice on the mic but I don’t really feel its better
lyrically than his 2nd album. However this album is slightly
superior. He seems to have more clever metaphors, and the production is also
good. Much of the album has a laid back yet smooth feel to it. Mac has matured
greatly. There’s a good amount of guest spots including Miguel, Chief Keef, Lil B, and Ab-Soul.
Ultimately tho it feels like it’s a long album which is to its detriment.
Overall great work tho.
Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93
