It’s not news, but I couldn’t resist posting this review of a Mac Miller concert from a couple of months ago.  Funny stuff.  In it, Chris Richards (the astute music critic at the Washington Post) proclaims Miller’s Silver Spring concert the worst of the year.  I wrote to Richards thanking him for the review the day it came out.

Now it’s true that Mac Miller is only 19, so perhaps I should give him a break, but think about what other rappers have managed to do at that age.  Richards points to Outkast’s Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, and I would add Mobb Deep, particularly “Shook Ones.”  Mac Miller isn’t in the same league–I’d put him in Kris Kross territory, maybe.
