With album releases from Mac Miller, Kanye West, J. Cole, and a handful of other artists all scheduled for June 18, the third Tuesday of this month is shaping up to be quite the momentous day for Hip Hop.
Mac Miller, an artist who first announced June 18 as the release date for his Watching Movies With The Sound Off album, recently spoke with Fuse to share his thoughts on the big day. According to Miller, at one point he even considered backing out after he was made aware of the Yeezus release date, but instead chose to hold his ground.
“I wanted to run at first. Then I was like ‘Nah, I’m not gonna run. I’m gonna hold my ground. I’mma drop this album same day,’” the Pittsburgh rapper revealed.
The rapper’s hesitancy eventually turned into excitement as he spoke on the possibility of Yeezus dropping the same day as his album being a sort of omen.
“But I’m like this is the perfect way to do it. That this is an omen, there’s a reason that this is happening,” he explained. “I don’t know what it is, but there’s some reason. And J. Cole came up with his ‘I wanna go against Kanye.’ Maybe he didn’t know I was also dropping. He didn’t wanna mention the kid, which is cool. No hard feelings. But it’s become this really big day, which is exciting man. It’s exciting because everyone’s gonna be in the stores and they’re gonna buy records again…I don’t give a fuck about the competition. I just want people to listen to the album.”
Ironically enough, prior to the announcement of June 18 release dates for both Yeezus and Born Sinner, the “Donald Trump” rapper thought he’d have that particular date for himself.
“All I wanted for my album was its own space. June 18, no one’s gonna drop June 18,” said Miller. “I’m gonna be straight. I’m just gonna have my own day and then no one’s gonna be focused on anything besides my album. And that’s what I need right now. I need people to just like shut up and focus.”

Of course J. Cole wanted to say he was going up againsn’t Kanye. He’s the perceived champ. Nobody brags about going head to head with the indie contender. That said, Mac Miller will probably walk away with the most money in his pocket after the albums drop. Cole could easily flop, even though it will be interesting to see the direction his second album goes in.

After hearing the leak I can see why he wanted to run.
That wasn’t funny dick. His album was actually much better than expected and a really solid project. He’s in a more atmospheric and exploitative mindstate than most artist out there. He can spit and he flawlessly flows through instrumentals as if it weren’t a thing. Maybe if you actually listened and stopped trying to look and be cool you’d probably understand that, and i’m not a huge Mac Miller fan but his sound has matured and he’s trying to make more cohesive projects than standard ”
I can rap and flow but my songs are still shit” formats as he did in his earlier projects.
After hearing the album after it leaked, I don’t get why people are hating on Mac Miller. The guy doesn’t pretend to be the most lryical emcee, but he’s far from crap like Tyga, Wayne, French, and those guys.
He went to a darker tone with most of this album, has a lot more classic hip hop feel in his songs, and people still complain. I think Mac’s last two projects he’s released, Macadelic and Watching Movies… are dope.
truuuueeee
Ain’t this the white boy that Donald Trump is suing?
mac miller skill set improved immensely. he went from one of the corniest rappers i ever heard to decent rhymer that says some funny shit in a years time. i think hes a good kid too. obviously ppl like working with him cuz hes cool and popping. mack miller showed some chops on this album and made me not wanna slap him in the fucking face when i see him. good job mac you got a new fan in me you wigger fuck.
mac miller would body j.cole on a record.
if jay-z cosigned mac miller hed be WAY bigger than j.cole.
mac miller makes more money and has more integrity than j.cole and is also a bigger fan of hip hop and a better representation of what hip hop can do for young lives.
mac miller is a lot of things but he isn’t boring. he’s rapping about all types of foolery and fun shit and j.cole is rapping about missing college and being a shy nerd.
mac miller >>> j.cole
mac miller would also destroy kanye west on a record. mac would have to write kanyes rap too.
Kanye should have called his album MAC MILLER, and J Cole wishes he knew MAC MILLER, everyone should strive to be like MAC MILLER. Oh and MAC MILLER.

If I was dropping my album the same day as Mitchy Slick, I too would run.
60% of wmwtso is wack as fuck
20,000 first week
he did 142k last time
Thats a good number
i think he did a good job. i like it better than cole’s album. cole is the better emcee but he dropped a boring album and mac miller’s record is all over the place and covers many grounds.
Kanye should have a contest with Miller like he did with 50 Cent in 2007…If Kanye sells more albums first week, Miller retires from rapping…FOR GOOD…Which means FOREVER…
