It was cool when Miller was wearing snap-backs and sampling Nas, or shouting out Wu-Tang, or rapping over Lord Finesse beats – it sounded good. But Blue Slide Park seems to ditch this approach, while still wearing a snap-back. So now, by some, Mac Miller will likely be labeled by some as a young hipster who is doing Hip-Hop culture wrong. Actually, he’s a real fan of Hip-Hop with under-developed rhymes and mainstream-production problems. Bummer. 65/100 Read Full Review http://allhiphop.com/2011/11/08/album-review-mac-millers-blue-slide-park/
The 411: Mac Miller released his debut album, which was mostly a disappointment. Surprisingly the album is not all about teenage partying, and tries to be more serious. The album would have been much better had Miller stuck to what he does best, and that is create party tracks and having fun with his music.The end result is somewhat of a mess of an album that has decent production but is limited by Millers lyrical ability. 60/10 Read Full Review http://www.411mania.com/music/album_reviews/209497
In the end this album doesn’t live up to the hype that’s being laid out for Mac, and it leaves plenty of room for growth. However if it’s one thing that can be taken from this debut, it’s that he genuinely comes off as an artist who loves his craft. He treats his dream job as just that, a dream job. He doesn’t stray outside his lane, and his fans will definitely appreciate this body of work. While it doesn’t elevate him to the elite class of hip hop that some of his peers have graduated to, it’s a solid debut regardless. It’s the type of music that he has been putting out since he started gaining attention from the masses. Blue Slide Park is an intriguing experience that will have you rushing back the moment you think you’re ready to leave. What more could you ask for? 60/100 Read Full review http://thewellversed.com/2011/11/15/review-mac-miller-blue-slide-park/
Mac Miller dropped an impressive debut album. He has the benefit of appealing to a wide variety of people and it’s that appeal that will make this album a success. People are quick to compare him to Eminem, but they shouldn’t do that at all. Mac is standing out in his own lane making music for his fans. Not bad at all for someone doing all this while remaining independent. Besides the few tracks on the album that I felt like could have been better, I think this is an above average album. He proved to the people that he is worthy for all the buzz he has been receiving over the past year and a half. If Mac continues on this path look for him to be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. 60/100 Read Full Review http://www.nappyafro.com/2011/11/11/mac-miller-blue-slide-park-review/
However, I’d have a hard time recommending this one to anyone but the biggest Mac fans. Chances are if you’re in that category at this point, he could probably release 45 minutes of silence and you’d buy it anyway though. 40/100 Read Full Review http://thisbeatgoes.com/album-reviews/mac-miller-blue-slide-park-album-review/
