“Missed Calls” showed a side of Mac Miller fans had never seen before.
After a series of mixtapes, including K.I.D.S., I Love Life, Thank You and Best Day Ever, Blue Slide Park was a step towards what Miller would eventually become. While records like “Party on Fifth Ave.” and “Frick Park Market” were reminiscent of his earlier work, it was clear that this young, Pittsburgh rapper wanted more than just internet fame. And in including tracks like “One Last Thing” and “Diamonds & Gold,” on Blue Slide Park, Miller experimented with a more mature sound listeners hadn’t heard before.
