If you’re a real Mac Miller fan, you know how important Watching Movies With The Sound Off was for his career. Released on June 18, 2013, Watching Movies wasn’t just Mac’s second studio album; it was a massive turning point. He took a deep, introspective dive into an experimental sound that totally redefined him as an artist. You can now experience it all over again by buying this one of a kind special 10th anniversary edition on vinyl.
Why Watching Movies With The Sound Off Changed Everything
With Watching Movies With The Sound Off, Mac Miller flipped the script on his sound. His first album, Blue Slide Park, was a success but came with backlash that led to him being dubbed a “frat rapper.”
“You’re 19, you’re so excited to put out your first album, you put it out—and no one has any respect for you or for what you did,” said Mac, in a 2013 interview with Complex.
Mac responded with his second album and took us on a journey into his own head. He got real, exploring themes like the weirdness of fame, isolation, and trying to figure out who you truly are. He was raw, philosophical, and vulnerable, putting his struggles at the forefront while stepping his lyrical game up. Watching Movies set the stage for his incredible artistic journey.
Mac pulled in collaborators like Flying Lotus, Clams Casino, The Alchemist, and even Earl Sweatshirt (under his alias randomblackdude) for production. Plus, Mac himself was leveling up his skills behind the boards as Larry Fisherman. The album also features guest appearances from Earl Sweatshirt, Ab-Soul, Action Bronson, Schoolboy Q, Jay Electronica, and Tyler, The Creator.
