It was released online via free digital download on March 23, 2012. It includes the hit single "[Loud](/source/Loud_(Mac_Miller_song))". Miller went on The Macadelic Tour in support of the mixtape in early 2012, performing 18 shows in the [United States](/source/United_States) and 3 in [Europe](/source/Europe).[1] Since its release, it has been downloaded over 1.3 million times and streamed over 1.5 million times from its official host, [DatPiff](/source/DatPiff).[2] *Macadelic* was remastered and commercially released on May 4, 2018.[3] ## Overview After the release of *[Blue Slide Park](/source/Blue_Slide_Park)* and *[I Love Life, Thank You](/source/I_Love_Life,_Thank_You)* in 2011, Mac Miller began working on another project. According to Miller, he decided to "stop thinking about what kind of music [he] should make and just start saying what [he] wanted to say." On March 23, 2012 Mac Miller released *Macadelic* and had a release party at Shadow Lounge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[4] The music video for "Loud" was also released that day. Mac Miller's lyrical focus and subject is different from that of his previous major mixtape *[Best Day Ever](/source/Best_Day_Ever_(mixtape))*. Also, the instrumentals on the songs have a psychedelic influence to the typical hip-hop beat. While most songs' lyrics are rapped, hit songs such as "Clarity", "Angels (When She Shuts Her Eyes)", and "The Question" featuring [Lil Wayne](/source/Lil_Wayne) are performed in a more poetic way. "Desperado" ends with the introduction to "[Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds](/source/Lucy_in_the_Sky_with_Diamonds)" by [the Beatles](/source/The_Beatles). Another feature of *Macadelic* was its numerous cosigns and guest features. Mac Miller performed alongside [Kendrick Lamar](/source/Kendrick_Lamar), [Lil Wayne](/source/Lil_Wayne), [Joey Bada$$](/source/Joey_Bada$$), Sir Michael Rocks of [The Cool Kids](/source/The_Cool_Kids_(duo)), [Cam'ron](/source/Cam'ron), and [Juicy J](/source/Juicy_J) among others. Some of the more popular songs from the mixtape are "Loud", "Thoughts From a Balcony", "Clarity", "Lucky Ass Bitch", "Angels (When She Shuts Her Eyes)", and "The Question". ## Production ID Labs produced several tracks on *Macadelic* as they did with previous Mac Miller projects. However, *Macadelic* introduces several new producers to Mac Miller such as Wally West who produced "The Question" featuring Lil Wayne. [SAP](/source/Sap_(producer)), who produced Mac Miller's hit "[Donald Trump](/source/Donald_Trump_(song))" produced his song "Thoughts From a Balcony" which was later released as a music video. Iman Omari who was featured on "Fight the Feeling" along with Kendrick Lamar and "Sunlight" produced "Fight the Feeling". Several other new producers worked on *Macadelic* as well. The song "1 Threw 8" features a sample from [The xx](/source/The_xx) song "Fantasy". Teddy Roxpin, who previously worked with Mac Miller on "Get Up" and "Futuristic Funk", produced "Sunlight". ## Accolades The album was named the 50th best album of 2012 by *[Complex](/source/Complex_(magazine))*.[5] ## Commercial performance Following Mac Miller's death on September 7, 2018, *Macadelic* debuted at number 106 on the US [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200) with 8,000 [album-equivalent units](/source/Album-equivalent_unit).[6] ## Charts Chart performance for Macadelic Chart (2018–2022) Peak position ## References 1.
