Mac Miller - The Star Room (OG Version) [Prod. by Earl Sweatshirt]

powerful music

Whether you think Mac is corny or not he deserves your respect. Dude could sell out whenever he wants and make a fortune, gain mainstream fame, etc. Yet instead he makes abstract music and chills with the homies.

 

[effzee]

Who ever is mixing at hot97 is throwing on some Gems! ...and I swear they sending subliminals.

Yeah thankfully I caught that mix. Late 90s to early 00s. Classic stuff. Made You Look remix! I forgot how much Luda kills that track.

I assume it's because Angie was leaving so they decided to play what they really like.

Any reason why she is leaving? Trying the rap career again?

If only the gawd could have made Dune instead of Lynch

lynch is better director tho. but yeah the jodorowksy one would have been cooler.

edit: wow that mac miller. beautiful beat. can't believe an odd future alum made this.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Earl made that beat... hew:

Didn't you once say you've never listened to a Mac Miller track?

That Mac Miller track is goofy. Sigur Ros rap

[Esch]

speaking of goofy Clint Dempsey raps lmao

I've heard worse. Danny Brown would destroy this beat tho

yup dude's making tons of bread while he's indie.

Mac Miller has been getting better and better IMO.

Agree with PD that he could've taken the mainstream route and definitely be a lot bigger. I remember when his first album Blue Slide Park came out with all those teeny bopper tracks and my Facebook feed (I was in high school) had all these white gyals/boys on that Mac Miller is the first rapper to actually have something to say shit.

Then he hooked up with TDE and OF.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Fuck mac miller

Exactly. He's no doubt caking on the road, but I honestly think Mac Miller could go platinum if he wanted to. He has the image and cosigns, every label is already offering him mountains of money to sign, he'd have the machine to push his singles, etc. And he can actually rap.

i have his Faces tape on my phone but refuse to listen to it because it's not tagged properly, how was it?

 

[The Return of]

Obviously it's bloated, but the tracks that are good are really impressive in terms of lyrics and content, not just from Mac Miller either, but overall.

 

[CountBlack]

i have his Faces tape on my phone but refuse to listen to it because it's not tagged properly, how was it?

It was pretty good IMO. I'll link you to my favourite tracks off of it;

Diablo,
Rain ft. Vince Staples,
Insomniak ft. Rick Ross,
New Faces v2 ft. Earl Sweatshirt & Retch,
Grand Finale

 

[enzo_gt]

Why does Mac Miller need to be mainstream/label again when he pretty much has all of the exposure he would've had if he was major, cornered multiple demographics and maximum profits from his current situation which would be cut into otherwise?

Mac's situation literally could not be better.

Angie Martinez resigned from Hot97

nas won

Esch might be getting banned soon if he doesn't edit his gif in the WC thread.

edit: just saw he did. that was a close one, breh

maaan at least describe it though, now im curious

New Dilated Peoples...beat is interesting. More funky than anything I can think of that Premo has done lately, but still something seems off. I like the bassy intro/chorus more than the rest of it.

didn't know this dropped, looking up now - thanks PD
