I got a little bit of money fillin' my pockets
Roll around like I run this shit
I got a system filled up with toxins
I been broke at heart and I was...
On major-label debut GO:OD AM, his third and best studio album, Miller grapples frankly with fame, addiction, recovery and the struggle to be a decent person over taut, melancholy production that channels both bleary inebriation and hard-fought optimism.
GO:OD A.M. is a 70-minute studio album that would have been better served as two mixtape diary entries until the sober Miller discovered a smarter way to channel his newfound enthusiasm.
Mac Miller really shows his true potential in this project and I enjoyed every single song, he works hard and it really pays off.

Malcolm James McCormick, who raps by the stage name Mac Miller, is not your typical rapper. For starters, he didn't have the initial buzz ofMalcolm James McCormick, who raps by the stage name Mac Miller, is not your typical rapper. For starters, he didn't have the initial buzz of many rappers. He was part of a generation that included Sam Adams, Chris Webby, and Asher Roth, because of this he was constantly looked down as goofy and for the stereotypical music that college white boys all over the country would listen too. What separates Mac Miller from the others is his growth as an artist.
Blue Slide Park represented him having fun and doing things teenagers are known for including, having lots of sex, experimenting with drugs, and just partying.
Watching Movies with the Sound Off was a complete u-turn. Mac was depressed and it was obvious that he was struggling. Lines like, "im not real, i think i never was" from the song I'm Not Real, show the intense amount of doubts he succumbed to. Songs like REMember, explored the loss of significant people in his life and the immense lows he suffered and how they influenced his abuse of substances. This album is one of the best albums rap or non rap, of all time. The last statement might draw a lot of criticism but the reason for my declaration is that it exposes Mac Miller, not just as a rapper, but as a person. When someone shares their deepest and darkest thoughts, it creates sympathy and empathy from the listener. There's nothing more relate able then when someone is completely honest.
GO:OD AM, like the previous albums represents a new chapter in his life. This new chapter represents a new beginning for Mac and shows growth as an artist. His past is evident throughout the album but that's representative of his as a person; a person is the sum of their experiences. Mac Miller has striked the perfect balance of being himself without being over the top. Blue Slide Park and WMWTSO brought out a lot of Mac, albeit in different ways, but they were sometimes so over the top that they felt they were created specifically for him. GO:OD AM shows the real Mac, but it brings enough of him to the table.
Mac Miller's lyricism has gotten deeper and more complex as time has gone by and GO:AM proves that he's capable of competing with people like Drake and Kendrick. His production is top notch, the beats are some of the catchiest tunes without being characterized as trap or drill. Mac Miller has proven once again that his album is nothing short of perfection.…Expand
Definitely Mac's best album to date. It's a nicely produced project that's more mature, less monotone and more interesting, and expands on theDefinitely Mac's best album to date. It's a nicely produced project that's more mature, less monotone and more interesting, and expands on the incredible promise Mac showed on his previous album Watching Movies With The Sound Off. Mac delivers bars with conviction on this album; he raps like he's trying to prove he's among the best in the game. And I have to say, he partially succeeds.
Favorite songs: "Brand Name," "100 Grandkids," "When In Rome," "Clubhouse," "Break the Law," "Time Flies," "Weekend."…Expand
Mac's most polished pure rap album just goes to show how much he has developed since projects like Best Day Ever and Blue Slide Park. His flowMac's most polished pure rap album just goes to show how much he has developed since projects like Best Day Ever and Blue Slide Park. His flow switches seem more natural and the beats bang more than ever. His lyrics had more depth and he was able to convey more information with less words. Truly a great rap album. Still not sure how Brand Name and Weekend didn't get more radio play.…Expand

The drug they leaned on is usually revealled to be the thing that exposed the artist in the artist. So, knowing macmill has all but dumped the drugs I was prepared for some auto-tuned, singing type sh*t. Thankfully macmill outperforms this expectation. There are some nice tracks on here like clubhouse and when in rome(knocking the "trap music" trend). Nice word play in places as well and a good variety of topical sh*t as well. However is was the flow I can compare to his drug filled haze. Thus the 7. But better than most.…Expand
