His fifth official album is an ambling 13-song journey towards self-acceptance, one that does not end in triumph. Where The Divine Feminine probed the spaces between people, Swimming focuses on Miller. Swimming seems informed by a similar sentiment. He had never sounded more at ease with his place in the world – but, as he rapped a couple of years earlier, “the good times can be a trap”. He sang as much as he rapped on 2016’s The Divine Feminine, an intoxicating exploration of the ways we are transformed by love. His rhymes got tighter and the beats trippier, often under his Larry Fisherman production alias. His marked creative improvement since then may have demonstrated an ability to learn from criticism, or maybe he just grew up regardless, over the past five years, Miller’s music has become exponentially better, not to mention weirder. Miller’s narratives didn’t venture too far beyond the realm of dorm parties, and his fairly pejorative “frat rap” designation spoke not only to the demographics of his fanbase, but also to a much broader shift in hip-hop’s audience.
Clearly, popularity wasn’t a problem for the Pittsburgh native, but acclaim was a different story.
It is not hard to imagine why Miller was in dire need of a reality check.īefore he had turned 20, his first album, 2011’s Blue Slide Park, became the first independently distributed debut to top the Billboard charts since 1995.
This spring, the 26-year-old rapper’s two-year relationship with Ariana Grande ended weeks later, he was arrested after drunkenly crashing his car into a telegraph pole. There are those years when it seems the only way through is to tell yourself: “Hey, one day, this will make for some good writing material.” Mac Miller has had one of those years. The Pittsburgh artist went through a breakup with Ariana Grande and was arrested for a drunken car crash – but his troubles result in a wiser, sadder, better album.
