I figure I'd better get a post out before any more time pasts. Already a month, woo too busy. But a perfect track just to get some thoughts out. Mac Miller just recently released his mixtape "I Love Life, Thank You". Produced by 9th Wonder, I'll be making a post about that as well, as I have been on quite the kick with him! A few reasons I wanted to review this track, instead of doing another Tribe post for People's I just wanted to get something out and figured the easiest way was to do a track I just recently loved. And this track is very fascinating to me, and relates back to me every other word. Mac does what he does best on this track. He excels at tracks with a good vibe, a great beat, as he always carries that innocence of a kid feel with him. No better way to remain innocent and happy then to drop a song about heaven. And I have always wondered about heaven.
Mac drop his own little story, asking questions and telling the listener each characteristic of heaven, and if you agree, you will just love the song. Since Mac is all about chillin' he just puts alot of good into this track. I guess the reason the tracks makes me feel so good, is because he really paints a picture of heaven with each and every rhyme. He starts simple, with beautiful woman, cars, and liquor. But while of course we all like nice things, and he continues with real values that I never thought about actually. How we are all at peace, and that no everyone is cool, cause it is all free. Which is actually a great concept, that nobody is separated by wealth, and we all just look at eachother and enjoy heaven just as equal people, not taking eachother for rich or poor. Nobody complains, you can entertain, however he leaves almost nothing out, he sort of include every general feel of heaven. For example, he mentions, "See everybody you want, always keep in touch and go and chill by yourself when everything get too much". Cause that is what makes life great, when you got the choice to kick it however you want. Continuing he says, "Never a fucking rush, so therefore a million plus. You prolly got a mercedes but always could take a bus". Same idea really, you can live how you feel, which isn't always the case down here on earth.
One thing I have thought about lately is, what exactly is heaven like? But you kinda imagine heaven to be exactly what you want, while you can't narrow it down, you just sort of put everything in there, just the ultimate peace for you, were life is just great up in heaven. That is why this track really reaches out to me, if a song makes you happy you like it, so how can't you like a song like this? Sort of weird to think I couldn't figure out why I liked this song so much, but one more reason, 9th Wonder. The production on this track is so uplifting and just makes me happy, a track like this or even the instrumental gives you that heavenly feeling and man is it good. Takes you above the clouds, which is why I have been loving 9th's beat lately. So many are just relaxing, more so than a regular song. But really the beat is quite simple, the beat and the strings, ooh the strings are what take you places in this one! And that touch of elegance is added by the piano, just a little touch added so well into this track.
So there you have it, just a beautiful work, really came as a surprise from Mac. It seems it is always hit or miss with Mac, but when he comes to a beat like this and just adds a simple concept he makes magic. Even the simple hook works well on this track. As it rides nice with the music, and anyone can enjoy thinking, what exactly is heaven like?
