I worry about what other people think. In fact, now I’m worried that you might think less of me because I just admitted as much… So, I’m definitely thinking about how it might look when I admit to the world that my favorite hip hop album of 2010 was Mac Miller’s K.I.D.S. After all, he is a nineteen-year-old white kid from the ‘burbs (whether you like it or not, that shit still affects the way people perceive prospective rap stars), and K.I.D.S. is actually a mixtape and not an album at all.
Well fuck it, iPod play counts don’t lie. K.I.D.S. was my favorite of 2010. And if you think that’s lame, I guess I’ll have to live with that. But I will be at Fortune on Wednesday January 26th, with the rest of the fan-boys and girls, singing along and waving my hands in the air… and I won’t care.
For those of you who wouldn’t part with eighteen bucks to go see Mac this week, do me a favour: download his mix tape, listen and let the hate swell within you. But then make a good argument* for why you don’t think Knock Knock is a fucking genius party anthem OR why you can’t admit that Mac murders the already murderous beat on Good Evening OR how come you don’t get nostalgic about early nineties hip hop when you hear the first few bars of Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza. I’m truly interested to see what you come up with…
For the rest of you, get your tix here and I’ll see you at the show.

* The term “good argument” should be understood in this context to mean a series of premises which, if true, necessarily indicate the truth of your conclusion. Just leaving “MAC MILLER SUXXXX” or “UR GAY!” in the comment section will not suffice.
