Since there isn’t a listening session in the burgh and we didn’t get to go to the one in New York, we’ll continue to provide you guys with updates from the people that have attended. Here is one from HipHopUpdate, not really much of a review but a bunch of pics and reactions.

I’ve been following Mac Miller’s career for a little while now and I’ve noticed hip hop fans either love him or hate him – for whatever reason. I personally enjoy what he does on the microphone because he stays true to what he knows, he has fun with it and he can definitely spit. I’d rather listen to “Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza” over a lot of tracks that get released nowadays.
With that said, I was incredibly fascinated when I got the invite to Mac Miller’s album listening session because I wanted to know how he stepped his game up for his formal debut release of Blue Slide Park. Did he rise above and beyond for the album? Is it just like another mixtape? Click below for my brief reaction:

Mac kept it casual in a hoodie, khaki’s and chancletas as he said a few words about his journey and his arrival at the release of Blue Slide Park. He seemed slightly nervous as a room full of heavy hitters in the industry all watched him. As soon as the music kicked in, however, he was in the zone.
