it's true that he's spitting from experience just like everybody else, but he claims that "hip hop is all he has," which is not true coming from an upper middle class family. an upper middle class family on the east coast offers nearly unlimited options as to what you can do. what i don't like is that he acts as though he built himself from the ground up, when really he comes from money and has always lived the way he lives now. his experiences are lame and the same as just about every other high school kid and i find him boring. the point of this thread was that hip hop started as an art form, and has now been watered down into kids spitting about how awesome they are. mac miller claims to love hip hop, and maybe he does, but he's not helping the real hip hop movement by spitting the way he is.
inb4 "you're hating because he made it," because i've known about him just about the entire time he was coming up and always thought he sucked.
he has a small number of songs that are actually decent, and i will give it to him that his flow can sometimes be pretty nice and his wordplay isn't bad. i simply find him boring, and have known since he got big that he won't be around forever.
I do believe Mac Miller in fact wrote a song, just for this topic:
