Mac Miller - Of The Soul (Remix) (ft. Posdnous & Raekwon)

I liked the original version of this song, and it’s definitely a standout on his album “Blue Slide Park”, which unfortunately isn’t saying much since the album is painfully average.  It’s pretty obvious that this remix is much better than the original thanks to the Wu-Tang and De La Soul features (they absolutely kill it), but Mac Miller definitely still holds his own amongst the two legends…mostly because the verse he spits is one his best to date.

I feel Mac Miller’s biggest problem is his versatility, since a lot of his songs seem to just drone on with the same standard Mac Miller flow and subject matter, and adding solid variation to his music in any way inevitably improves his works.  So when this variation comes in the form of two outstanding features, some truly great hip-hop is produced.  You’ll most likely be seeing this on my “Best Hip-Hop Songs of 2012” list.
