With overly repetitive beats and mundane lyrics that conveyed elementary school-esque messages like “Kool-Aid and frozen pizza / It’s a work of art, I ain’t talking Mona Lisa,” this version of Miller was on track to dominate his niche in the music industry. (2010) blasted on iPod touches across the country, Miller’s juvenile self was reflected in his immature musicality. At just 18 years old when his mixtape K.I.D.S. Songs like “Donald Trump,” “Knock Knock” and “Nikes On My Feet” became the anthems to kids adorned in Diamond Supply Co. Six years ago, Miller came into the rap scene appealing to a demographic rarely targeted by the hip-hop industry: preppy high schoolers from suburbia who spend their allowance money on snapbacks. Divine Feminine attests to Miller’s perpetual push to maturity. Much to day-one Miller fans’ interests, this album is starkly different from his previous works.
MAC MILLER THE DIVINE FEMININE SONGS MAC
2 on the Billboard 200 chart, Pittsburgh-based rapper Mac Miller’s newest work, Divine Feminine (2016), has made an immediate impact on the music scene. And in a time where objectification of women is more than common, especially in rap music, I think people will appreciate that. This sound is new to Miller, but it’s complimentary to his new content - love. In The Divine Feminine we hear songs that make us want to dance, but more surprisingly there are others that are relaxed, suitable for even a morning coffee. He seems to come to the realization here that love is better than lust, which is a milestone for any popular rapper.
Not only is the song catchy, but it tackles a common theme, which is love versus lust. It’s equally groovy, with a saxophone taking up a lot of the noise, but Miller raps over it well.Īnd of course, you can’t talk about The Divine Feminine without mentioning “Cinderella,” another hit song. “Dang!” is one of the hits of the album, already boasting 17,262,355 listens on Spotify, but right after it comes “Stay”- a song I would constitute as a success as well. I can say for sure that Miller has never written a more relatable lyric. “I can’t keep on losing you, over complications, wait! gone too soon” is the entirety of the chorus. He says things like, “your loveliness bring me sunshine” and, “girl, I’m so in love with you,” which set up the theme for the rest of the album as a whole.īut not everything on the album is as smooth and tender as “Congratulations.” His second song of the album “Dang!” only reaffirms that, not only sonically, but lyrically.
It makes sense though, as in his first song “Congratulations” he raps about being in love.
He doesn’t rap to an upbeat backdrop like most listeners are used to. In terms of how the album sounds, right off the bat you see a nuanced version of Mac Miller.
Not only can he rap to things other than catchy tunes, but the new album shows his soft side and his appreciation of love and intimacy. This new album changes that perspective, though, and reveals a lot about him as a person. All people knew of him was that he was a white, Jewish rapper from Pittsburgh who rapped to catchy beats about weed, drinking, and girls. While earlier songs such as “Donald Trump” and “Knock Knock” were extremely popular, they were a bit immature, primarily because they really didn’t give Miller an identity. This is made obvious in his newest album: T he Divine Feminine. Not only has his content changed, but since the beginning of his career, his sound has too. Mac Miller has come a long way from his debut album, Blue Slide Park.
