Mac Miller - Blue Slide Park (Colour Re-Issue)

Blue Slide Park is the debut studio album by Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller, released on November 8, 2011, by Rostrum Records. Twee, maddeningly joyful, and kicked in a clumsy vernacular from a pedestal of privilege, Mac Miller’s debut suggests what would happen if the cast of Glee tried to make a rap album.

Negatives aside, ‘Blue Slide Park’ is full of surprises, mostly in the production (helmed in the main by ID Labs, but also by A$AP Rocky favourite Clams Casino on ‘One Last Thing’). It’s layered with interesting sonic textures throughout, be they jolting injections of electronica or stoned-sounding, warped beats that lay the foundation for Miller’s drawl. He raps lazily to laidback hooks, then attacks the bassier, sped-up moments with cocky wordplay. 

One of the four Mac Miller colour double vinyl re-issues - this one is translucent green.
