Mac Miller’s newest album, “Blue Slide Park,” was just released in November. With this album, he became the first independent artist in more than 15 years to arrive at the top spot of the Billboard albums chart.

Mac Miller is only 19 years old and is currently one of the most listened to rappers. No, he is not up there with Eminem or Jay-Z, but he is slowly making his way.

Before this album came out, there were a lot of people excited to hear the rest of his songs that were not already available on YouTube.

All of the songs in this album show everyone who Mac Miller really is.

“Blue Slide Park” combines old-school rap while using his own life experiences and routines to make his songs more realistic. This album is all Mac Miller with no guest appearances in any of the songs.

His songs include his own made-up rhythms as well as throwbacks from the 90s and 2000s. One of the songs on his album, “Party on Fifth Ave.,” includes a beat that was also used in DJ Kool’s “Let Me Clear My Throat.”

Most of Mac Miller’s songs include rhymes about college life and partying, like normal rap artists’ songs. And while listening to his songs, one can tell how much of a laidback and carefree person he is. Listeners also realize how much he wants to be himself and how he is not afraid to express who he is.

Many of the songs on “Blue Slide Park” talk about things that people his age can relate to, such as having haters or people that do not like him for any particular reason.

His song “Smile Back” talks about how he has haters all over but all he does is flash his smile to show that he doesn’t care.

A couple of his songs might have gone too far in how the lyrics treat and describe women, such as the songs “Missed Calls” and “Loitering.” However, he is not the only rapper who is guilty of this.

Mac Miller proved to be a fan of many in the state of Nebraska and held a sold-out concert at the Bourbon Theatre in Lincoln in October.

Overall, Mac Miller has done an excellent job dropping his newest album and creating all of the songs that are on it.
