Flop City #9: Mac Miller

Posted by Quake On November 8, 2011 47 COMMENTS

Oh it’s about that time again, yes another rapper targeted. Oh well at least I have thousands of reason as to why this guy is in the City.

You get one hit song called “Donald Trump” and all of a sudden your the next Eminem? Not in my book your not.

I don’t know where to start off with this guy, Blue Slide Park hasn’t managed to even pull one song that has landed on the Billboard Hot 100 not to mention this guy can’t rap to save his life. Only reason he’s hot is these weed smokers can relate to him, Wiz Khalifa managed to get a good buzz off it but at least he switched it up. I mean this white boy has no clue what lane he’s getting in to, I honestly see no ounce of talent in this guy. He acts like a moron in his videos and I thought he was doing it just for fun, based off his music it seems like it isn’t just fun, it’s really how he is.

Forget the hate though, let’s focus on the main point of all this, Not 1 song charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and you guys call this guy a good rapper? Even Lil B managed to at least chart his smash hit “I’m Gay”. That’s sad that a rapper like Mac Miller who is so called a “Good” rapper can’t manage to pull tricks from his hat.

No hit songs, and he will manage to push a good amount of album sales more then likely because these weed smokers don’t care about hits, the only thing they care about is whether they can smoke to the track or not and that’s where Mac fails. His audience sucks as far as music goes and if this is the direction Hip-Hop is going to take, don’t expect me to listen to it anymore or yet even blog about it because it’s making me sick.

Let’s see if he can save himself after his album drops then maybe, just maybe he might get a hit on his hands after the album release, but until then his buzz will eventually die out and become Asher Roth a one hit wonder. These “White” rappers need to step they’re game up, they making Eminem look bad. Miller take your ass down the 8 Mile road then maybe you will learn something, until then, your wack and will forever remain that.

    I enjoy reading your posts and agree with what you’ve said here, but I can’t help but to point out that you are grammatically illiterate.

  2. CuDi Fan says:

    I agree with the flop choice. But don’t think that he just has fans cuz he smokes weed. Cuz i smoke weed and think hes a fucking faggot. He just sucks. You think that people who smoke weed are keeping him popular? Not true.

  3. Do Jones says:

    Frick Park Market peaked at 60 on the top 100…do research next time. An indie artist project to sell easily over 100k tho..not sure when that was considered flopping. Terrible as usual.

  4. diogo says:

    you are so clueless its unbelievable.. first legends, now this. im not a huge fan of blue slide park but just because you don’t have chart success doesn’t mean you aint good. most of the shit you post on here with your future interviews and shit aint got shit on him, so fuck this shit. stop blogging like you said. such an idiot

  5. Nate says:

    Great post. I feel you 100% once again. Mac Miller is just awful. His lyrics shouldn’t be considered lyrics. He almost makes lil wayne and those people look good. Tech N9ne all day

    • Aaron says:

      Lol Tech fans always have good eyes. They know Lyrics lol there spoiled and when they see lazy rappers they know it. haha get em Nate!
      Good post Quake i really dont care for Mac hes kinda hop pop type music really lame stuff that now a days Rnb singer Drake and Mac Miller pop hip is now cool? Is just so lame. WHile people cry raps dead?

      Tech Jay Rock Slaughterhouse Tha Joker Banks etc all new music lately people say raps dead? Its alive and great people are stupid.

      • Blazed N Dazed says:

        Ummm Tha Joker is good? Wtf are you smoking on nigga, Tha Joker is a bigger joke in hiphop than Soulja Bpy and Lil B. And Jay Rock is about as lyrically as a box of rocks. You choose the worst and only bad rapper in Black Hippy? You are clearly dumb as fuck and probably deserve a job on this site since the only requirement to be a blogger here is to have the writing abilities of a 9 year old and you fit that criteria! Congrats you’re finally employable!!!

        • Aaron says:

          Sorry i do not write for your standards? i do not care about my writeing on a Diverse Hip Hop music site? When people are gradeing my posts on a blog? wtf? Your mad because i dont wanna write u a essay? Wow ok homo teacher.

          Tha Joker is raw wtf? Wow hater on Joker? i didnt think it was possible? Mixtape after mixtape hes been really good. Building name off mixtapes and improveing and you hate? wow

          Jay Rocks album was a top 5 this year. Amazing shit lol lyrically hes good he can rap with Tech and not look stupid unlike Lil Wayne B.O.B Snoop. Seriously? Wow Jay Rock is dope dam man.

          Im so sorry you come to a Hip Hop Blog looking for a well writen book off the NY best Seller list? Sorry Oprah. Im deeply sorry for everyone on this site that they do write short books for you with a editor and that this is not a blog but Book and a Essay?

          • Blazed N Dazed says:

            U called me Oprah! Thanks bro, I think thats a compliment since she is rich and has her own TV Network! Thanks man, I appreciate it!

          • Aaron says:

            Yes because ur rich and have ur own TV Network lol so ty for being stupid! yay

  6. Zach says:

    the only thing i have a problem with in this post is that you said his buzz will die out and he will become asher roth, a one hit wonder. Asher roth is way better than mac is lyrically. Asher actually cares about music and mac just cares about money. Just wait roth will surprise you guys.

  7. Mac Fan says:

    Mac miller is a real good rapper not eminem but a nigga is a good rapper you just hating get a life.

  8. Dude says:

    bad post. u used the top 100 to prove he isnt a good rapper. are u kidding me?
    if album sales really judge how good u are then that mean soulja boy is a way better rapper than lupe. and thats obv one of the most outlandish things i ever heard.

    oh yea and drop that white boy shit out ya vocab if u dont wanna sound ignorant….just sayin

    • Amgbenz says:

      Im white and i can proudly say, mac miller is the definition of white trash and has absolutely no lyrical talent. Hes even worse then white trash, hes a wannabe. Dude looks like a white copy of wiz khalifa, and wiz is gay in his own right. I couldnt care less about the top 100, i just heard macs shit and knew for a fact that the dude was pure shit. Its sad to see people actually defend this posers music, and then you idiots wonder why people say hip hop is dead, and why there will never be another rapper remotely close to big l, pac or biggie, Because the people who listen to hip hop nowadays and actually buy albums have no standards, and are generally little white teenage girls and boys who wouldnt know real hip hop if it cock smacked them.

  9. Blazed N Dazed says:

    This post is completely against the idea of Flop City. I thought it was supposed to be about rappers who are struggling to release albums and eventually the label just releases the album without much promotion. Then when the album is released, it flops aka doesn’t do good numbers. Well Mac Miller has a huge buzz and is about to sell 100K plus independently. I don’t think this is a common event, I’m pretty sure the best the “almighty” Tech N9ne ever sold was like 75K with All 6′s and 7′s. Hey Quake, look on iTunes u idiot, Blue Slide Park is number 1 right now, And where is Tech N9ne’s new album…. number 9? Thats pathetic! And Blue Slide Park didn’t get pushed back once, yet another reason why it defeats the purpose of “Flop City.”

    So this Quake guy tries to write an intelligent post about Mac Miller and comes off as a complete hater. First of all, I suggest you get a 5th grade tutor to help you learn correct grammar. Then you talk about how Mac Miller has no chart topers, therefore he has no talent. Well if the “almighty” Tech N9ne has more than 3 tracks in his career that got on the Billboard 100, I would shit my pants. And the “almighty” Tech N9ne has released about an album a year for like 15 years. So therefore the “almighty” Tech N9ne must have no talent as well, right? You’re reasoning is at the Kindergarten level, I can’t believe how you feel as though your biased opinion is deserving to be on the internet. I love to read your blog to read about how pathetic your opinion is on music. And now you guys are getting involved in that Illuminati bullshit. If you think that world leaders would ask rappers to join these so called “exclusive group” and help promote their devilish message, then you have found some great drugs or need to get back on the short bus. Rappers have little power in society and definitely not enough to be included in the “illuminati.”

    Now onto my views on Mac Miller and the “almighty” Tech N9ne. You are clearly wrong when you call Mac Miller a “weed rapper” cause he is promoting happyness and being yourself, so what if he comes off as a crazy kid. He’s just a young man doing him and I don’t see how anybody can hate on that. He doesn’t ever talk about being a great rapper, he knows he not gonna be the next Biggie, Nas, or Eminem. He just makes feel good music targeted at high schoolers and college students. At my college, he is most people’s favorite artist, so he must being doing something right to get so many fans. Now onto Tech N9ne, I think he is a good rapper but I haven’t checked out many of his tapes. I enjoyed All 6′s and 7′s, but it is far from a great album. I don’t see how people love his music so much and act like he is up there with the best in the game, when he is just a solid rapper.

    I’m done, come at me Shake, opppss I mean Quake. That’s cute bro, your name rhymes with your role models! Steal names much bro? Ha

    • Aaron says:

      Whose Shake?

      Lol ahh funny post. One person says basing number is wrong for flop while ur saying Mac’s number vs Tech? Lol 6s 7s was good? Pssh get outta here. Tech is beyond a vet thats what makes him so good. Hes been doing this for years! And he stays great! Mac Miller is in a age where gaining fans is easier, while Tech built his own Label his own Name years after years made real music while Mac’s doing cute Weed and disco songs? Saysing Tech is just ok and Mac is great cause his numbers is say Aaron Rodgers is a god and Dan Marino or Johhny U where just ok because they didnt have great numbers and alot of fans?

      6s and 7s was a great album. his new one is a classic one of the greatest. Lol saying Mac is making music for College people and so on Tech is making master pieces GOAT Albums in an already godly career. Lol your joke after trying to diminish Tech and saying Mac is good lol im done.

      Tech’s music speaks for its self. No one would ever say anything bad his songs after hearing it they only say stuff when its no where near there thoughts. Cute but ur just sad Mac Miller my ass.

      Tech N9NE!

      • Blazed N Dazed says:

        My point about the numbers was simply that Mac Miller doesn’t deserve to be in Flop City since 1) His album had no pushbacks, 2) He’s projected to break 100K in sales, therefore not FLOPPING. Quake completely abandoned the original idea of Flop City on this post and just vented about how much he hates Mac, despite the fact the Mac will do the opposite of flopping since his album is number 1 on iTunes and his presale numbers will likely outdo Tech N9ne’s first week numbers. I’m not even a big Mac Miller fan, I have less than 10 songs by him on my computer. I just don’t see how Mac fits into Flop City when he is gonna sell outrageous numbers for an independent artist. To clarify, I never once said that Mac Miller is a better rapper than Tech N9ne, Tech is clearly out of his league. Numbers mean nothing about talent, but in this Flop City discussion, numbers should be the considered greatly.

        By the way, Shake is a popular rap blogger at 2DopeBoyz, which is the first blog on DiverseHipHop’s blog roll, therefore, thats why Quake is nut-hugging Shake

        • Bob says:

          Lol see all you had to do was calm down now i c where your comeing from ty! U sound like a human and not a hater. Ty.

          Yea Flop City was about long term floppers who been on the decline while idk much about Mac nor i care i think hes wack. Pssh out do Tech? Lol idc because Tech just did a greatest of all time album haha installed to xbox man just a amazing album. Glad i own it. Lol so idc about numbers. Tech paved the way Mac. I dont even know how hes big nor hows he good i listened to some of stuff and idc.

          Tech is in a league of his own. Until Em does a song with him and Em doesnt do a sell out song off every album i wont say Em is better maybe not even equal.

          I think for flop city number should matter over time. a Flop is someone thats up then falls over. U agree? Mac i dont think has hit his peak and so i dont think its fair. While i think hes wack same with Kanye i respect em and say good luck. But i wont be buying there stuff or watching there vids or even downloading there albums just to hear them because idc about them.

          I just think Flop definition doesnt fit Mac yet. lol most would say hes wack if you actully listen to him and all that stuff but flop? Probly not.

          Lol get em! Or is he Quake off the game Quake as like a all seer of music?

    • Aaron says:

      Also Tech has more talent in his hair then Mac Miller whole body and future career.

    • Crazycam says:

      Mac miller is not “good”, lyrically. Tech nine gets high critic ratings. Unlike ur famed Mac miller getting a shitty critic rating of 58. Tech has more than 3 hits on the 100 lol. I highly doubt Mac is legibly independent, since the king of independent rap (tech) has no idea who Mac rlly is and dosent care for him. Tech is said to have the best ciphers and flow. Look at his lyrics and compare them to macs. No contest tech wins. Don’t try to compare a little fresh starter to the greats mainstreamly eminem and independently tech nine. Wait a few years then u can talk. BUT I do agree with u that this guy who wrote this post is mainly just a Mac miller hater.

  10. Blazed N Dazed says:

    Btw Aaron Rodgers is better than Marino ever was, hes got a RING and his team has a legit chance at going undefeated this year, barring a major injury to Rodgers, Jennings, Mathews, or Woodson. I guarantee that Rodgers gets at least one more ring before his career is over. Rodgers and Tom Brady will both go down as two of the best QB’s of all time, Marino won’t be considered one of the great QB’s in 25 years.

    • p says:

      I’m pretty sure Marino will always be considered one of the greats considered he is in the Hall of Fame… the game has changed a lot and the NFL has become a passing league

    • Bob says:

      Yea what P said? Different league. Thats what im saying about Mac Tech paved the way for Inde artist. Not mention internet blew Mac up. While Tech didnt have internet never sold out. watch Mac will sell out. Anyways soon to start marking down Rodgers as a Goat lol. wow

  11. Drizzy Drake Fan says:

    CuDi Fan knows his music. I also smoke and do not find his lyrics or his ear for beats even below average. In order to be on Flop City, you must first succeed, which Mac Miller has yet to accomplish. So I am a little confused as to why he is on this list to begin with.

  12. Beast 101 says:

    Bruh you just hatin because hes making it far on his own! Im a fan of Mac nd i dnt consider him to be better than Eminem idk where u get that bullshit from? But he aint as bad as u say he is; otha wise he wudnt be sellin on his own and getting millions of views on YouTube and hundreds of thousands mixtape downloads before Blue Slide Park. Get a life bruh. Quit hatin on the white boii hes more successful than most others nd will continue to increase his numbers just as he has before from when he first started.

  13. ZAX says:

    listened through the entire album… not really impressed, got to agree with Quake, people just listen to him because he is white and smokes weed, but eventually that gets old. He has some talent, but needs to go a different way.

  14. ZAX says:

    Oh and to those people saying that he has millions of youtube videos… you can buy youtube video views btw

  15. Bob says:

    Well on Itunes the top comments on MAc’s album was his fans saying they hated his album. And pretty much it sucked. But thats his fans so idk?

    Number shouldent be a end all be all unless the artist is a numbers guy i guess? I hate seeing numbers when the Rapper doesnt rate but nore does he care lol.

    Thats my only prob with Em is he cares about numbers and it ruins his albums.

  16. Mike says:

    Mac miller did have a song on the billboard 100. Like a person above me said, do ur research. His album hasnt even dropped yet so i dont see how he can flop.Mac miller isnt all that but now your just using your “Flop City” to bash on artist u dont like.

  17. Trey says:

    Mac is wack i completely agree with this post

  18. muktarssk says:

    This flop city is so whack now. It doesn’t make sense at all, how can a young artist that is independent and is gonna be number 1 on billboard top 200 with 100k sold be in flop city. The kid is growing and has done nothing to offend anyone. He rose to fame from his own underground work. His album is a good one for someone like him. I just have to say this flop city is just based on quake’s(editor) opinion and quake doesn’t know shit about hip hop.

    • Amgbenz says:

      Your getting emotional and defending mac miller then you try to say that the author of this post doesnt know shit about rap? Dont embarrass yourself kid, mac miller is pure trash.

  19. oOkaboomOo says:

    Who is this guy again??? hhahahahahaha

  20. Lee says:

    Whack Miller blows. All of his songs are basically a repetition of ‘smoke weed erryday’ and rappers can only pull those kind of lyrics out of their asses for so long before it gets boring, which is usually pretty damn quick. Mac Miller’s lyrics are the rap equivalent of jr high kids talking about getting high to try to make themselves appear cool. Crappy lyrics aside, none of his songs are catchy (everyone’s guilty of liking a few catchy songs with shit lyrics), and personally I find his voice terribly annoying.

    And I love how when anybody says something negative about Mac Miller, the only thing his fans ever have to say back is “ohh ur just jealous cuz hes famous and ur not!” Yeah, because that’s the only reason any person has ever disliked a musician. Dick ride’s over, hop off kids.

    BTW he’s a jew, so white rappers who have actual talent shouldn’t have to claim him.

  21. Paul says:

    Too bad Mac is good, now wiz and eminem on the other hand are now featured in all their songs??

  22. SHEEEEEBBBY says:

    dude hop off macmillers balls.

  23. none yo damnn bussness says:

    Okay so first of all, charts dont fuckingg matter! And his music is good and has a good beat! And i used to be the BIGGEST eminem fan until i heard mac! And he doesnt always rap about weed! And even if he did, which he doesnt, it wouldnt matter! And dont even say youve never at least tried it before! So dont go hatin!!

  24. T says:

    Mac Miller doesn’t not rap only about weed. In his more recent songs almost none talk about weed. He doesn’t rap for the money, he raps because its what he loves to do. Just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean he is bad. I personally love his album Blue Slide Park. I have been listening to him for almost 4 years now and still love his music just as much. Alot of his lyrics are actually positive, saying to appreciate living, and everything you have in your life. He just turned 21 and still hangs out with his childhood friends and visits home as much as possible. He is still young and just wants to have fun and live his life the way he wants. Everyone’s style is different, I don’t like Eminem, Asher Roth, or Wiz Khalifa at all. It’s nothing against them I just don’t like their music for some reason. I respect your opinion, but he doesn’t deserve to be on here.

  25. Macs says:

    Mac miller has a gian of raw SOngs,… America, One Last Thing, Frick Park Market, The Question , and many more, i cant agree on you on this one.. MAC MILLER is one of the hardest Mcs in the game
