Cruisin' - Mac Miller



          This song is perhaps the best song of off Mac Miller's Jukebox. It takes a sick beat and his clever lyrics. Still new to most of his music, I didn't expect a track like this from Mac. So this was a very pleasant surprise from him. Considering I didn't find the majority of the songs on the Jukebox anything special, this made the track even better.  His voice just flows perfectly, and his attitude comes off as aggressive, and having listened to K.I.D.S., I would've never expected something like this. Any way he rhymes it just catches, and stays with me.
            The production on this is top notch, just a simple bass-heavy beat with some trumpets thrown in. This beat makes it even easier to chill out to. Soul Theory gave a tough beat a touch of jazz. Absolutely beautiful. And the DJ intro at the beginning might be the only one that I didn't mind hearing. All the others on that album really broke the feel from all the songs. However, this one had me laughing every time. "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Ah, the actual name of the instrumental is apparently "So Gangsta" by Soul Theory Productions. If you noticed he threw that piece of old school soul at the very end. No information as to what that piece is, although it is beautiful.
           As for Mac, this is a master rap. Every other line is hot, and is so catchy. Definitely a fun song to rap along too. The flow is top notch on this beat, almost perfect. Now for my favorite lines. Whether he says it just right, or it is clever, or he goes off like crazy.

Like any given friday I roll up to ya drive way rock u in tha face have u lookin sideways

So quit ya back talk I ain't haven it boyy
I'm lookin fresh right now straight dazzlen boyy
Light a swisher now I'm gone
When my minds on, 5's on, laced up, headed out the time bomb

Get your life right size truck whit a white light
Triple x tee and a fresh pair of white nikes

I wright like nobody you've seen
Cause my weed is purple and my money is green
See I'm hungry for cream with my fitted on lean
If you wanna talk shit, I'm a shit on your teaam

The kid raps like lasers, sharp like rasors
Rollin up my weed in some Garcia vegas (yuup)
Fuck a cop tryna chase me with tasers, I'm runnin out my crib and I'm dippin through the neighbors, garden
High homie marvin the martian

Specifics is never gimics, I rip it just how I live it, you wanna it I'll go and get, I'm kickin it so escuisit
The wickedest mothafucka on the block I live at
Shit talk on hip hop I'm pealing your wig back, yuup

The delivery on this track has me amazed. Definitely gonna be a favorite from Mac always. Just killing it!
