Macadelic is the seventh mixtape by American rapper Mac Miller. It was released online via free digital download on March 23, 2012. It includes the hit single 'Loud'. Miller went on The Macadelic Tour in support of the mixtape in early 2012, performing 18 shows in the United States and 3 in Europe.[1] Since its release, it has been downloaded over 1.3 million times and streamed over 1.5 million times from its official host, DatPiff.[2]Macadelic was remastered and commercially released on May 4, 2018.[3]
Overview[edit]
After the release of Blue Slide Park and I Love Life, Thank You in 2011, Mac Miller began working on another project. According to Miller, he decided to 'stop thinking about what kind of music [he] should make and just start saying what [he] wanted to say.' On March 23, 2012 Mac Miller released Macadelic and had a release party at Shadow Lounge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[4] The music video for 'Loud' was also released that day.
Mac Miller's lyrical focus and subject is different from that of his previous major mixtape Best Day Ever. Also, the instrumentals on the songs have a psychedelic influence to the typical hip hop beat. While most songs' lyrics are rapped, hit songs such as 'Clarity', 'Angels (When She Shuts Her Eyes)', and 'The Question' featuring Lil Wayne are performed in a more poetic way. 'Desperado' ends with the introduction to 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' by the Beatles. Another feature of Macadelic was its numerous cosigns and guest features. Mac Miller performed alongside Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Joey Bada$$, Sir Michael Rocks of The Cool Kids, Cam'ron, and Juicy J among others.Some of the more popular songs from the mixtape are 'Loud', 'Thoughts From a Balcony', 'Clarity', 'Lucky Ass Bitch', 'Angels (When She Shuts Her Eyes)', and 'The Question'.
Production[edit]
ID Labs produced several tracks on Macadelic as they did with previous Mac Miller projects. However, Macadelic introduces several new producers to Mac Miller such as Wally West who produced 'The Question' featuring Lil Wayne. SAP, who produced Mac Miller's hit 'Donald Trump' produced his song 'Thoughts From a Balcony' which was later released as a music video.
