100 Grandkids - Lyricism, use this as an example of why/how Mac can rap.Rush Hour - Slick reflection, a low key jam.Brand Name - Business Mac over a smooth beat, flow switches up constantly.Doors - Something different, I love it when albums start with a unique little sound.There's also the bigger budget of Warner Bros which has opened doors musically but it's also given Mac a shitload of money as well and there's various references to that throughout the album.
I can't really see this as a negative, it's just that Go:od AM comes after that chapter and there's a strong sense of reflection as well as a chirpy hope. Mac has battled addiction which kind of led him to go into hibernation with there being many great yarns of how much unreleased music as he locked himself in his studio for a few years. Those are the two key influencing factors in this album. This album doesn't feel like there were any restrictions placed on it by the label, nor does it sound like the label had any real say in how they wanted the album to sound or the classic 'we need a single for radio' type of vibe. I was weary, but I see Go:od AM as the best example in hip hop right now of how major labels are doing things slightly differently as they try to compete with the ever-changing music business. Mac signed a pretty hefty deal with Warner Bros, leaving Rostrum Record who Mac came up with early in his career and it's usually at this point where the 'sell out' conversation starts up. Mac Miller is 23 years old and has been through the ups and downs of success in the music business which influenced various projects he has done leading up to 'Go:od AM' which is his debut album with major label Warner Brothers.
Any young artists who encounters some success is going to also encounter a few troubles.
