Miller�s transformation has been a major storyline in rap circles these past few months. Lucky for us and for him, he finished that work in time for Watching Movies with the Sound Off. In a bunch of different respects, the kid had some work to do if he wanted to be widely accepted as an MC worth his renown. Miller never learned to like being so divisive as a recent Complex cover story hammered home, the then-19-year-old soon started messing with promethazine, among other indulgences, to cope.
The Pittsburgh native had a devoted following before his debut proper, Blue Slide Park, came out in 2011, but that album brought out more snickering �let�s just call him Wack Miller� trolls than anything he�d done before (that�s to say nothing of the album’s negative critical reception, which included an infamous 1.0 review from Pitchfork). �Shut your piehole,� Mac Miller raps on his Flying Lotus-produced �S.D.S.�, adding �I�m dope and I know.� It�s a meaningful affirmation.
