On this day 14 years ago, Mac Miller dropped Macadelic.
Coming off the success of Blue Slide Park, this was the moment Mac showed he wasn’t just the “frat rap” kid people tried to box him in as. Macadelic felt darker, more experimental, and way more personal, a clear shift in both sound and mindset.
The tape featured records like “Loud,” “Thoughts From a Balcony,” “Fight the Feeling,” and “The Question” featuring Lil Wayne, one of his biggest co-signs at the time. It also brought in production and features from names like Kendrick Lamar, Juicy J, and Casey Veggies, showing Mac was leveling up his circle and sound.
What made Macadelic different was the psychedelic, introspective vibe, you could hear the transition from the carefree energy of his earlier tapes into something more complex. Themes of fame, substance use, and self reflection started creeping in heavy here, laying the groundwork for everything that came after.
Despite being a free release on DatPiff, Macadelic still moved like an album, millions of downloads, constant rotation, and a fanbase that really started to take him seriously as an artist, not just a moment.
Looking back, this tape was a turning point.
Not just another mixtape… this was the beginning of Mac evolving into who he would ultimately become. #macmiller #macadelic
14 years ago today, #WizKhalifa dropped #TaylorAllderdice on DatPiff.
The anticipation was so real that even Wiz himself was online waiting for it to go live like everyone else. The tape, named after his high school in Pittsburgh, arrived at a time when Wiz was already blowing up after Kush & Orange Juice, but this project showed a more polished and reflective side of his sound.
The mixtape featured standouts like “California,” “Mary 3X,” and “Never Been Part II,” and included appearances from artists like Juicy J, Rick Ross, and Cam’ron. It quickly spread across the internet and became one of the most talked about mixtapes of 2012, helping solidify the Taylor Gang movement that had been building since the blog era.
This photo captures a perfect moment from that day….Wiz sitting at his laptop, smoking, refreshing the page just like the fans waiting for the tape to drop on DatPiff.
It’s a snapshot of what the mixtape era really felt like.
Once again Islam comes up with an excuse. This time it’s an injury.
I always knew I would be part of the White House event. Even when the UFC told me at one point that they wouldn’t count on me for the event, I knew it was part of the negotiation.
When they finally told me I would be on the White House card, they mentioned Islam and I didn’t hesitate for a second to accept the fight.
Even though the fight hadn’t been officially confirmed yet, the White House card was going to be announced the next day. And when I woke, I found out that Islam had gotten injured.
And then Justin Gaethje appeared.
Once again, someone else who will pay for Islam’s escape.
Both of their manager is a bitch and also ugly as hell.
Justin, see you at the White House. I’m not someone who humiliates people.
It will be quick. When you wake up, everything will already be over.
BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are trading 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Washington Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, 2 first-round picks and 3 second-rounders, sources tell ESPN.
DJ Michael “5000” Watts, founder of Swishahouse, has died today at 52.
His wife, Tammie Watts, announced the news of her husband’s passing on her Instagram page as well as his official accounts Friday (Jan. 30). Watts reportedly died at Memorial Hermann Hospital in The Woodlands, Texas.
“It is with profound sadness and heartbreak that we inform the public of our beloved Michael '5000' Watts," a statement from Watts' family read. "We truly appreciate the love shown to Michael throughout his career and we ask for continued prayers as we navigate through this very hard journey."
According to the statement, Watts developed a fatal heart rhythm called Torsades de Pointes, which caused sudden cardiac death. Two days ago, his family released a statement detailing Watts’ health complications and hospitalization. He is survived by his wife, five children and two grandchildren.
Recognized as one of the most important figures in Houston rap history, Michael “5000” Watts helped popularize the chopped and screwed sound created by the late DJ Screw. Watts, who founded the Swishahouse record label, alongside OG Ron C, in 1997, went on to lead the charge with his Swisha Mixes in the 1990s, and helped launch the careers of artists like Paul Wall, Slim Thig, Chamillionaire and Mike Jones.
Jones’ 2003 classic debut single “Still Tippin’” featuring Slim Thug and Paul Wall was initially featured on Swishahouse’s compilation album The Day Hell Broke Loose 2 in 2003 and appeared on Jones’ debut album, Who Is Mike Jones? in 2005.
In recent years, Watts was on Houston’s 97.9 The Box radio station where he played his signature Swishahouse mix from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Little sausage, the only thing you had to do was beat a 38 year old guy. You just lost the biggest paycheck of your life. You were going to get rich if you won. Justin, all I can say is congratulations… and I’d like to tell you to get ready, but you’re screwed no matter what.
