Sitting down with MTV Little Mac summarizes his 2011, which culminated in his independent debut album reaching No. 1 on the Billboard charts…
“The whole album coming out was probably the #1 highlight,” Mac told MTV News of his independently released Blue Slide Park. “I remember putting out the album and being really curious about what critics had to say about it because I felt like I made this album from the heart and it was by far my best work.”
Unfortunately for Mac, the album reviews did not satisfy his expectations. To him, it seemed that the critics just didn’t get it, and he began doubting whether or not he put out the right album. That was until his fans reassured him that he made the right move.
“All people of all different ages everywhere coming up to me and genuinely telling me how much they like the album,” Mac recalled. “That’s definitely the highlight, seeing this music that I’ve created and just seeing how much more powerful people are than publications. That’s who I make music for.”
I dont listen to his music, but this line deserves a co-sign.

I will cosign that line to an extent, but when your target market is like the middle of a venn diagram of teenagers who like lil wayne and justin bieber, I wouldn’t say it holds much weight.
I would typically say, “Yea, there’s always a critic that’ll strike you down.” But really, all the reviews I’ve seen reaffirm what I already thought, which is most of the beats are dope and rapping is amateurish and mostly about shit like his love for mashed potatoes and how bitches love him. No thank you, Miller.

I used to kinda enjoy mac in the high life and KIDS era but with every piece of work his creativity and overall level of music has dropped. This album was a bust and his worst project to date
