Paak-featured second track, “Dang!,” Miller repeatedly worries that he “can’t keep losing” his love. Assuming this track is about former longtime girlfriend Nomi Leasure, mentioned in Rembert Browne’s flawless 2015 profile on Miller, the song chronicles the stages leading up to the couple’s end. That relationship would go just like the food. “You was there before the fancy cars and/ You was there when I was just a starving artist/ when the car was having trouble startin’/ Now we got our own apartment/ same box for the mail/ Same hamper for the laundry, the food in the fridge is stale.” Here, Miller details a new chapter in a longtime relationship. “Congratulations,” the album’s opening, Bilal-featured track, is one of the most impressively complete intro songs since Drake opened Nothing Was The Same with “Tuscan Leather” back in 2013.
MAC MILLER THE DIVINE FEMININE STREAM MAC
The Divine Feminine is a 10-song, nearly hour-long case study on the impact of love in the life of our subject, Mac Miller (or Shaun Livingston, but I think that metaphor has come to its close).
On his latest album, The Divine Feminine, a rap/R&B/jazz fusion project rooted in the power of love, Miller continues to establish his versatility as a continually maturing artist. The site gave the same rating to his 2015 album GO:OD AM. Eloquently and effortlessly flowing over mainly self-produced tracks (Miller produces under the name Larry Fisherman), Miller re-established himself as one of rap’s renaissance men: producer of trippy beats, deliverer of exotic rhyme schemes and surprisingly smooth singer of imperfectly pitched tunes. His career is not over.Īfter three post-Blue Slide Park mixtapes and an album (2013’s Watching Movies With the Sound Off), Mac Miller released his well-received, drug-riddled mixtape Faces in May 2014. Once again, people learned to respect and love the former top draft pick for all the unique, subtle intricacies of his game: the lost art of an unstoppable mid-range jumper, uncanny size for his position and well-rounded play oozing with poise. Providing veteran savvy and on-court leadership, Livingston starred in a reserve role en route to the Warriors’ 2015 NBA championship.
Both found solace in summer 2014.Īfter playing for eight different teams from 2008 to 2014, including a stint in the D-League with the Tulsa 66ers, Livingston signed a three-year, $16 million contract with the Golden State Warriors in July 2014.
