Miller's hustle can't be knocked, and it shouldn't be, but his art is 144,487 times less remarkable than his first week sales numbers would have you believe. It's a normal rap album, sure, but as listeners we should strive for more than a no-stakes work by a guy wearing the same streetwear brands and snapbacks as everyone else, who has merely found a niche and exploited it. Miller's world is a hermetic one, and unless it's one you inhabit, the album holds no appeal. Before you consider that to be a noble pursuit, the album could've used somebody, anybody, to break up the monotony of Miller on the mic. ![]() 1 rap album, that is basically unheard-of. For a contemporary rap album, let alone a No. Consider the fact that Blue Slide Park has not one feature- not a guest verse or chorus. If that fanbase is interacting less with rap music, then maybe they've rallied around Miller because he also barely engages with the wider rap world. The pop world has left rap behind, save four or five rappers, and it's opened a door for someone like Mac Miller to seize the college-aged, white-male fanbase. That interaction may have involved an unhealthy appreciation for Jurassic 5, but it also involved rocking YoungbloodZ and Ying Yang Twins songs at parties. Mac Miller has been called "frat rap," and while there's a slight truth to that, the term leaves unacknowledged the fact that frat guys used to engage with the rap world writ large. Unless you buy into Miller's persona- and why would you?- Blue Slide Park offers you nothing that you can't find done more much artfully by, say, Curren$y. But it does raise the question of why Miller is so popular, because despite his claim of being a cross between John Lennon and UGK, he's mostly just a crushingly bland, more intolerable version of Wiz Khalifa without the chops, desire, or pocketbook for enjoyable singles. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with that it is rap music, of course. He lusts after fame, money, and women, and he smokes weed and parties. Forget Eminem, Miller's point of view is less unique than Asher Roth's or Childish Gambino's. He is an outsider, but he brings no outsider's perspective to his music. It's a presumptive conclusion, but it's hard to find much, if anything, in Miller's music that suggests otherwise.
