"If you listen closely, I'm singing opera in the background of the whole song. There are no limitations. Also this speech at the end of this shit is epic and real for the world to comprehend yet. I was just on some other shit, no sleep, up making music all night and I just decided to take this song to places that songs have never been before"Not sure If it's the drugs talking or what but this is Mac like you've never heard him before. The self produced beat is unreal though, give it a listen below.
“Ballad of an Asshole”…soak in that title for a second. The sheer ignorance and arrogance might be enough to get someone to listen to the song (and watch the video). It’s both funny and memorable. I think so, anyway. However, let’s think about that title for a second. The word ‘ballad’ has been traditionally used and associated with folk music and tales that are passed down generations in song form. Those songs are typically tales of tribulation and struggle, and are written to find a common ground between songwriter and listener and, more importantly, to tell real life situations and stories. These are the same reasons why I wrote this song. Sure, being an “asshole” may seem funny and ‘cool’—but it’s really not. The words ‘Don’t Flatter Yourself’ are as much about me looking in the mirror as they are a cocky, profound album title. Sometimes—admittedly—I’m an asshole. Sometimes it’s out of necessity, sometimes it’s on accident. Sometimes it feels good, sometimes it doesn’t. This song was written to celebrate those moments. The frustration, the anger, the ignorance, the arrogance. It’s a battle cry. It’s an attempt to champion those times when you just are an asshole.
"A new track from my upcoming record has leaked out unintentionally. The song is called So Bright. I was not ready to put this song out but somehow its now posted on multiple sites as well as for sale on multiple sites. I made it available for free download just now on the PL site because it has never been my intention to strictly sell any tracks off of my new record...All the samples used in the track are from self-composed one of a kind vinyl pressings. There is a short documentary to be released soon about the making of this upcoming PL album because it was a very unique and laborious process. I'm insanely excited to release the record but....I'd prefer to do it on my own terms :). Much Love to all PL family, I hope you enjoy the track."
