Lyrically, Miller is as on-point as he's ever been on Faces, able to joke around for most of the tape while still spewing nuggets of knowledge on the regular. The best part about this is that he's more self-aware than ever, fully acknowledging his demographic shift on this mixtape's second track.įor people like me, whose first acknowledgement of Miller as a semi-legitimate artist came courtesy of a Flying Lotus co-sign, hearing Mac rap about people who 'wasn't hearin' me 'til I fucked with a Brainfeeder' is the sort of 'too real' observation that denotes a rapper in full control and awareness of his place in the industry. He's undergone an almost total metamorphosis that was still underway on last year's scatterd Watching Movies With the Sound Off and the almost-too-weird Delusional Thomas.

Basically, the kid went headfirst into a rabbit hole filled with hallucinogens, and Faces is the sound of him popping his head out of the other side. If at this point the name Mac Miller still conjures up an image of a frat-affiliated rapper who names songs 'Senior Skip Day' and gets 'No Woman No Cry' tatted on his chest, allow Faces to complete the transition that Miller embarked on with 2012's Macadelic. Ok, listening to the spaced-out, marathon-length Faces probably isn't your mom's ideal way to spend close to 90 minutes (if it is, word to your mother), but for hip hop fans on either side of the Mac Miller fence, this one should win you over.

Yesterday, Mac Miller gave the moms of America exactly what they'd been fiending for: a new mixtape. Download Mixtape | Free Mixtapes Powered by
