Mac Miller - Red Dot Music (ft. Action Bronson)
As I previously stated multiple times, I was incredibly impressed with Mac MIller's first mixtapes given how some of the songs on them, such as Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza and Nikes On My Feet, represented some of the best hip-hop songs to come out during 2010. I ranked his Wu-Tang & De La Soul aided song Of The Soul (Remix) (ft. Posdnous & Raekwon) 6th on my song list for the 60 best hip-hop songs of 2012. Overall though he wasn’t that consistent with the quality of his music, which is I feel largely has to do with his age. If you weren’t aware, he released his first mixtape in 2007, when he was ONLY 15! Then two years later he released 2 surprisingly enjoyable mixtapes under Rostrum Records (Wiz Kahlifa’s label), and has been signed there ever since. He was one of the youngest to do it, and the only one to improve his game this significantly in such a short time, given that Earl Sweatshirt was good from the beginning and Bow Wow has devolved into a one dimensional rapper who’s indistinguishable from the hundreds of other average swag/I’mGoodAtSex/yolo/winning/$money$ cookie cutter rappers that are over populating the game at this point. Blam. That aside, Red Dot Music is my favorite song off of Mac’s 2013 album Watching Movies with the Sound Off. I also saw him perform this song live when I saw him, Earl, Chance The Rapper, and Syd tha Kyd.
