As much as I wasn’t looking forward to Mac Miller’s follow up project to Blue Slide Park, when I saw it was a free download I had to give it a listen. To sum up this entire review in one word, I would probably use the word “surprised” if given an extra word I would probably choose “pleasantly” I was pleasantly surpised by what Mac Miller brought to the table with “Macadelic.”

Mixtape review by, Rod Black aka iRod
It’s clear from the start of the tape that Mac Miller is straying from his comfort zone. This album doesn’t showcase, the fun loving, care free, person who gets high, parties, and writes music about it. A much darker, deeper side of him is on display, with lyrics that far surpass those of his past. Maybe part of the reason this was a mixtape, with a free download, was in part because of how experimental it is. I don’t exactly know which fan base this mixtape is going to hit home with, his younger “Donald Trump” fans probably won’t care for most of the songs on this tape, and it isn’t enough of a lyrical miracle for some hip-hop heads, and it's far from a classic. Though I think Macadelic is better than any of his previous work, some may never hear it, after a rather quiet release, and some might find their selves lost with this new sound, I think most people won’t care to give it a second or third listen, and will ultimately forget about it entirely, but I think it’s better than that.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I actually thought it was a pretty good tape even though I don't listen to Mac Miller. he had a few tracks on there that I kept.

I kept a few as well, but there were some I could have done without, I hope this new Mac is here to stay!

Dope review!

I felt like he was trying to get some acknowledgment form the black hip hop community also...
did we ever think mac Miller would ever do a song in this form?

Really?? This is a good first mixtape to listen to of his, better than any of his others. IMO

I thought it was his best since Kids, but i think Kids fun and laid back sound fits him the best. Kids also has longer appeal, but this mixtape was nice IMO. Yes he is corny on some songs, but he makes up for it on others. -
KIDS, was good, and I definitely can see how somebody, especially Mac Miller fans, would like that mixtape a lot, but I think on this one, he improved as an artist, a lot!
