but it’s intolerable by Best Day Ever’s midway-point, unless you happily stomach “My swagger call me ‘Old Spice’/Yeah, the kid is so nice” punchlines. Mac’s in-the-pocket elementary flow was catchy on K.I.D.S. Best Day Ever, on the other hand, shoves Mac’s rhyming to the forefront, magnifying his monotonous flow and my second thoughts. His rapping was always pedestrian, but the songs’ charms overshadowed the skill set. was better than it had to be and flat-out addictive, with its nods to rap’s forefathers (the Nas-sampling “Nikes on My Feet ” Mac rhymes over an old Lord Finesse beat on "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza") and pop jams you’d actually play at a keg party (“Senior Skip Day,” “The Spins”). Mac may sense his time to strike big is now, but Best Day Ever offers evidence of wide-range support coming too early. Best Day Ever, released for free download last Friday, is Mac’s fourth mixtape in three years, and it sounds like a rushed cash-in and a possible sign of creative fatigue.
