Mac Miller Gives A Tour Of Pittsburgh's Blue Slide Park

Mac Miller Gives A Tour Of Pittsburgh's Blue Slide Park


Blue Slide Park may be immediately recognizable as the name of Mac Miller's debut album, and during a recent trip to his hometown, Pittsburgh, the young rapper gave MTV News a tour of the park that inspired his LP.

After releasing his 2010 mixtape K.I.D.S., Miller set out and toured the world, spending more and more time away from home. It was that time away that inspired the name for Mac's debut album, Blue Slide Park. Named after his favorite childhood hangout, Mac aimed to shine the spotlight on his city. After months of touring in 2011, the "Knock, Knock" MC invited MTV News to come out to a pair of homecoming shows back in December and gave us a tour of the 'Burgh, starting, of course, with Blue Slide Park, a playground tucked inside the much-larger Frick Park.

"Welcome to the world-famous Blue Slide Park," Mac told MTV News, acting as our tour guide.

If you aren't from the 'Burgh, chances are you didn't quite catch the significance of BSP's opening track, "English Lane," but after a trip to the real-life playground, it all starts to make sense. "I was literally walking to Blue Slide Park and the album was almost done and I was walking to get some last-minute inspiration," Mac said, explaining how the park's adjacent street became the title for the #1 LP's first song. "I walked by and was like, 'English Lane would be an ill title for a song, that's how I wanna open the album ,with a song called 'English Lane,' ' because that's how you walk up to Blue Slide Park."

Granted, some of the scenery has changed, for instance, the slide isn't quite as blue these days. "When I announced that I was coming out with an album called Blue Slide Park, some vandalizing kids dumped a bucket of red paint down the slide," the 20-year old rapper said with some disappointment.

Still, while walking through the famed playground and its surrounding area, the memories began to mount for Mac. There were his baseball days at Stan Lederman Field and the make-out sessions that followed his little league victories. "I was into girls in the fifth grade," Mac said while showing off a low-key cove where he'd take his junior high school honeys.

Now, when the breakout rap star returns to his old stomping grounds, word spreads quickly as fans flock to the neighborhood hangout in hopes for an autograph or a picture with Miller. Still, it all provides a certain comfort. Back in July, after Mac first announced the album's title, he explained what it all meant to MTV News.

"No matter what happens in life, no matter where you go, where you're off to, what happens with the park, that slide will always be blue. That will always be Blue Slide Park no matter what," he said. "You can go to New York and live for 10 years and become a huge business mogul and then come back to the 'Burgh and no matter how much money you got, that slide is still blue."

Barring any vandals, of course.

What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Twisted Tradition Clothing

What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Twisted Tradition Clothing
Oh yes! We got tenth tenth, YES the tenth "What's in The Based Update's Mailbox?" feature! Who dosen't like getting mail, especially when its clothing? Today we got a great package from Twisted Tradition Clothing! Continue below to check out the official review!

Twisted Tradition Clothing was a brand that I actually had heard of and seen before because it was sold at Filthy Dripped, and every time I was there something from this line caught my attention. As soon as I got the word that I was going to have a review with Twisted on the site I was extra-ready! The other cool thing when it comes to a background with the line is that even though they were established in 2009 the clothes say 1881 because they believe that they were 100 years before they were suppose to be here.


Packaging:This line's shipping was not through the normal mail, but with FedEX! That is more legit than other lines because its through a express package only carrier which will be personally delivered to your door.


Design: The designs are both simple and very advanced while still being very bright, attractive, and stylish. You can see the simplicity in the traditional crewneck and shirt with the line's name printed on them. Then, clearly, you can see the extremely attractive and advanced design in the Indian design! Instantly the tee and the crewneck with the Indian on them became one of my favorites in my own collection. These are featured in the 2012 Spring Line which has more designs like these in them.




Quality: Lets go piece by piece in the package. To start it lets go with the crewnecks, they are premium meaning that they are warm, soft, and solid along with the fact that the printing on them are perfect. With that, the crewnecks and tees have printed on the sleeves with the EST. 1881 mark. Now the shirts, the shirts are both extra solid and smooth, they also fit great to the size they are marked as. As you can see they are customarily tagged as well.




Whats left: There were no accessories in this package. This of course is not a problem because you have all the fit you need with the gear alone!


Is it Approved?: Yes it is! Two thumbs Up! As you can see the clothes are not just up to today's par in the fashion world, its more than that. Beyond that the clothes are printed right & fit right. Please go and check out the site and get yourself something! Would you really not rock any of these? I doubt it!

Final Word
Some of this gear is available now here! If you live in the Bay Area you can also get whats on the site and more at Filthy Dripped in the Hilltop Mall in Richmond. Make sure to keep up with Twisted Tradition on Twitter. From this point forward all their updates will be posted on this site as well. Twist yourself around that!

Tell us about yourself. What’s your name? Where are you from?
- My name is Cassandra, and I’m from New York!

How did you get involved with modeling? How long have you been doing it for?
- I actually became involved with modeling from a friend, she asked me to go along with her to a photoshoot and I realized my love for it, and it’s been a passion of mine for the past 4 years.


What is your favorite part about modeling? What is your least favorite part?
- There are a few parts I adore about modeling, I love to travel so being able to meet so many incredible people and see new places is wonderful. I also love the feelings of being able to express yourself through a simple photo and create a story, it’s a freeing feeling. My least favorite part is just not being able to always share the great experiences I have with friends and family, I’d love for them to be able to enjoy my adventures too!

What has been the highlight so far of your modeling career?
- I’d have to say one of the greatest moments of my modeling career was when I was on stage at the Playboy Mansion and had to speak in front of all the guests! It most definitely was a huge feeling of accomplishment and the best part was that some of my friends and family were there!

Being a model, and noticing what people like about you, what part of your body would you say attracts the most attention?
- Other than the usual curves that catches the eye, I’d have to say my hair. I’ve always had big long hair and I have received a lot of compliments!


If you could choose one person to have a photo shoot with, who would it be? Why?
- Honestly, there are so many people I’d love to have the opportunity to shoot with but even better, I’d LOVE to shoot with an exotic animal like a tiger or jaguar. I think it would be absolutely incredible!

If you had the option to model for any brand in the world, what brand would it be? Why?
- One of my ultimate goals is to try and reach some world known brands but if it were a dream come true, I’ve love to model for Victoria Secrets. I feel to be an Angel is a huge compliment and an ultimate modeling dream.

What is something that people don’t know about you?
- I actually have a passion for art, I love to draw, and I think quite well.


What is the worst and best thing anybody has tried to do to get your attention?
- The worst thing someone has done to get my attention would have to be a guy that I hadn’t talked to and refused to talk to told me our mutual friend had passed away and come to find out he was alive and happy. The best thing anyone has done was my ex-boyfriend had bought me my own star in the sky, ironically my star is in the constellation of Cassiopeia!

What do you think of the word “based” and what it represents?
- I think it should define everyone there will always be someone who doesn’t agree with what you do, what you love, and where you want to be but the true happiness in life, is being happy with yourself.

What words of advice would you give to all the young girls out there aspiring to be models?
- If your heart is in it, you can accomplish anything you dream of and all the road bumps along the way, will only make you stronger and you will feel that much more successful when you’ve reached your dreams. Never give up!


Where can we find and learn more about you?
- I have a Fan page on Facebook that I’m very proud of and I’m always updating, working on having my own website soon!

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport


Dubbed the “Bumblebee” of Veyrons, this very yellow 16.4 Grand Sport special edition of the French Bugatti Veyron was unveiled at the Qatar Motor Show recently. Allegedly the favorite color combination of founder Ettore Bugatti, the yellow/black carbon fibered ride is no doubt creating a buzz on the streets given its expected exclusivity, build, aesthetics and price tag. Boasting a top speed of 407 km/h and 350 km/h with its roof up or down respectively, the Veyron stakes its claim to a hefty price tag of $1.58 million EUR (approx. $2.06 million USD) compared to $1.4 million EUR (approx. $1.82 million USD) for the standard version. Limited to a manufacturing run of only 150 units, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport is not only a sight for sore eyes but likely to become a coveted automobile of car collectors due to its limited status.

What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Cloud IX Creative MindsClothing

What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Cloud IX Creative Minds Clothing
Oh yes! We got our ninth "What's in The Based Update's Mailbox?" feature! Once again, tell me who dosen't like getting mail, especially when its clothing? Today we got a swag-ish package from Cloud IX Creative Minds Clothing! Also right now when you purchase clothes use the code: THEBASEDUPDATE to get free shipping!

Cloud IX Creative Minds (CIXCM) consists of a team of individuals who dare to dream out loud. Have you ever felt so inspired by an idea that your mind feels overwhelmed with a strong sense of what could be, to the point where you catch yourself with your head in the clouds, day dreaming? Our goal at CIXCM is to release exclusive, cutting edge designs that represent the dreams, visions and ideas of those inspired to live life to the fullest physically, mentally, and spiritually.


Packaging:This line's shipping was express! That is a huge positive because who wants to wait for anything? The second positive aspect was that every single item was was individually wrapped in poly bags that even had a seal on them making it not only more professional but extra secure and brand new.


Design: The designs are clean cut and eye catching while still not being too much. For example, take the CIX Pocket Crewneck. The simplicity of just a couple letters group together is pretty damn cool and it doesn't do too much. The eye catching part can be seen through the Dreamville Tee, which you can see clearly for yourself! Last, the Cali Raised Tee finishes off as a must need if you live in California!




Quality: Lets go piece by piece... To start off lets go with the crewneck, there is nothing wrong with it. The material is premium, the printing is perfect, it's soft and it's warm. Now, before you cop one you might want to order a size down depending on you're height. For example, I'm 6 feet tall and the medium is perfect. Now the shirts, the shirts are both solid and smooth, and they fit great to the size they are shown as.



Whats left: With each item you get a sticker. Stickers are the best in my opinion to finish off the package. Take the stickers and deck out your laptops, phones, and anything else.


Is it Approved?: Yes it is! Thumbs Up! As you can see the clothes are legit, catchy, printed & fit right. All that's left is go get yourself something!

Final Word
All this gear is available now here! This is also up on Karmaloop Kazbah where there are even more designs there for you to cop! Make sure to follow Cloud IX Clothing on Twitter. Also right now when you purchase clothes use the code: THEBASEDUPDATE to get free shipping!

Mario & Domo vs. The World Review

Mario & Domo vs. The World Review

I don't even know where to begin with this mixtape. If you want an official grade for it, I would give it a 2 out of 5. After listening to this mixtape I can tell you that I will never listen to it again fully. The only songs that may even be worth a second play are All Gold Everything and Money Man.

Both of those tracks share the same producer, Young L. Young L's beats and producing skills made this mixtape better and it masked some of its faults. Furthermore, if I hear Soulja Boy say Pink Dolphin Clothing or Based one more time as if its his to claim.... I will lose it. It seems Soulja Boy is pulling a Lil B all over again.

I have nothing against Soulja Boy, it just seems this way yet again with another artist. I think that 2012 is going to be the year for Young L, but this is not a great start. Young L has too much uniqueness and special talent to collab with an artist like Soulja Boy. I'm sorry this is not much of a review, but I really don't have much to say about it. Just don't waste you're time with it and look forward to great mixtapes and albums coming this year from Young L 'solo-ly.'
