Mac Miller - Don't Mind if I Do

Producer: The Watcherz

Album: K.I.D.S.

Label: Rostrum Records

With the increasing number of artists taking stylistic cues from the electro-pop superstar, it’s a wonder no one (to my knowledge) has flipped a sample of the track that launched Owl City into the spotlight. Until now, anyway; on his latest single and first Booth feature, Mac Miller says “Don’t Mind if I Do” and helps himself to the synth riff and chorus from monster hit Fireflies. Production crew The Watcherz’ make a few modifications to the sample, speeding things up and throwing in some punchier percussion. On the lyrical tip, Miller plays it a little bluer than the track’s cheery sound would suggest, indulging in some fine weed and boasting about his prodigious female appeal: “I’m the young’n hoes tryin’a make a baby with, ‘cause I’ll make ‘em rich…” It’s a shame that it all flies by in less than two minutes and 30 seconds – but hey, if the worst thing you can say about a cut is that it’s too short, you’ve most likely got a hit on your hands. In any case, fans will be able to hear plenty more where this came from on the Pittsburgh hopeful’s K.I.D.S. mixtape, set to hit the ‘net August 13.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on August 16, 2010

DJ Z's Top Rated Songs

People have been on us for months (actually, more like years) to get Mac Miller featured on DJBooth.net. Well, the wait is over; he has arrived in the Booth.

While I don't LOVE this record, I did find myself playing it over multiple times to catch everything that he spit. I'm not sure if its because I was distracted, he raps to fast at times, or because I get lost in his flow.

$hock'N'Awe DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 18	Rating: $hock'N'Awe's Top Rated Songs I like his flow its solid and i like that he used fireflies (even if it did end up getting overplayed and burnt out on the radio) but i didn't like the beat with his flow of the song. it was good potential but seemed just scattered or something to me. but still solid.
