"Mac Miller - The Divine Feminine" No More Penis Talk


     I've reviewed a Mac Miller album before, and frankly the beginning of this review will probably sound much of the same to that. I don't know anything about this album other than one song I know I definitely like, which is almost certainly carried by the presence of Ariana Grande. Other than that I'm not expecting much. I simply don't enjoy rap albums that much. But who knows. So without further ado, my track-by-track review.

The Divine Feminine - Mac Miller

Congratulations (feat. Bilal) - 70/100 Simple but pretty adorable to be honest. A nice soft introductory song that sets the rest of the albums tone.

Dang! (feat. Anderson. Paak) - 75/100 I do love me some Anderson. Paak. Maybe I should check out his solo work. Though on a side note I do really hate it when Mac Miller mentions his penis.

Stay - 75/100 Mac Miller's raps remain a little goofy even if I like the Soprano's shoutout on this song. It's a good tune underneath it all though. Actually I just heard the outro I might take away 5 points for this alone.

Skin - 55/100 Mac Miller is the weakest part of this album to be honest, I like everything but him.

Cinderella (feat. Ty Dolla $ign) 45/100 Why is this song so long? While Mr. Dolla $ign is entitled to sing whatever he likes however he likes I don't have to like it. Can they all stop trying to sound sexy with their delivery and lyrics while they're rapping it's pretty awful.

Planet God Damn (feat. NJOMZA).- 55/100 Shoutout NJOMZA she's carrying this track. Also this may come off as a bit harsh but I hate Mac Miller's penis.

Soulmate - 60/100 A decent track, a nice change of pace at the very least.

We - 50/100 I don't think the Ceelo Green feature does much for the song to be honest. Dare I say it's kind of generic?

My Favorite Part - 85/100 I hate to say it, but this is a good tune, even Mac's part. OF course Ariana carries this track hilariously hard, every time she sings you can feel the difference it's hilarious.

God is Fair, Sexy Nasty (feat. Kendrick Lamar) - 50/100 Ty Dolla $ign is the only feature that doesn't manage to outdo Mac Miller on this album.

Final Score: 61/100

    This may come off as a bit harsh but did Mac Miller record this album with a chastity cage on? Did someone threaten to castrate him so all he can think about is how grateful he is to have a penis? In all seriousness it's a pretty decent album, and I think it starts off pretty well too. I do think it falls off a decent amount by the second half, and part of that is that I get absolutely nothing from Mac Miller's rapping, like to any degree. It doesn't help that he decided to constantly mention his penis which just takes me out of it so quickly. Like you're rapping already feels a little corny to me this is the last thing you should be talking about. Either way not too shabby if you can tolerate his lyrics/rapping.

"McKinley Dixon - Magic, Alive!" A Sonic Masterpiece

    I remember when my friend Sweaty, first recommended  Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? to me. I was floored. Frankly, I'm as basic as it gets when it comes to rap or hip hop music. I can count on one hand the artists from that region of genres that I enjoy, and one of them is Kanye West who I listen to in shame these days. Regardless, I fell in love with the blend of jazz and rap that Dixon brought to that record, so much so that when it came time to listen to this record I decided not to listen to any of the singles beforehand. After all, for artists I like too much I usually can't resist seeing what singles they're putting out, and for records I care less about I usually don't worry about spoiling myself. Of course, that's not to say that the track-by-track reviews I'm about to do are my first listen, I did want to give this album an initial listen when it first came out, just in case some of the songs took a while to grow on me, so without further ado, my track-b...

"Chef" The Perfect Feel Good Movie

      I don't even know how to write a proper review about this film because truthfully it's been one of my favourite films for a very long time. I remember as a teenager when I was down I'd just watch it as one of those feel-good movies I could enjoy, because that's what it is. It probably won't leave a profound impact on the way you view life, but what it will do is leave you with that special, fuzzy feeling inside, and that's what's important. I mean what's not to like, there's good food, there's family, and there's a happy ending. Really, the only reason you would dislike it is because you hate food for some reason, or just are generally unhappy with your own life to be honest.     I think I'd like to address some of the common criticisms of the film right away, mainly the one about the plot being a bit thin. Honestly, it's a pretty valid complaint, it's hard to argue against the plot of this film being fairly straightforward....

"The Strokes - Room On Fire" Consistency is King

Image
      What can I say about The Strokes that hasn't already been said? I suppose I can give my Strokes story, because anyone who was ever remotely interested in 2000's rock has almost certainly been influenced by the band in some shape, way or form. I remember when I first saw the music video for Reptillia pop off in my Youtube recommended feed. Of course, at the time I was a young bourgeoning teen exploring my similarly bourgeoning music taste. I distinctly remember listening to Panic! At the Disco and being enamored with this idea of "emo" music as defined by Tumblr. Of course, this led me to what was in retrospect a hilarious video that claimed Mr. Brightside and Somebody Told Me by the Killers was also emo. Obviously, after that it was only a matter of time before I found out by the Strokes, because like many other bands of that era they were inspired by The Strokes. Now, I'm older and still a fan of the band, though this album was always my third favourite o...
