Background and themes[edit]
After the release of Mac Miller's second studio album Watching Movies with the Sound Off, Miller began recording material under a new character named Delusional Thomas.[2] On November 1, 2013, Miller released a previous unannounced mixtape named Delusional Thomas, introducing the new character.[3] The mixtape was produced by Miller under his production alias' Larry Fisherman and features him rapping in a distorted pitched up voice.[1][4][5] He explained the voice choice saying, 'to me it was a character and I wanted to give his whole own complete, like, everything. There was part of me that wanted to do my own voice, but I just wanted it to be its own complete character. And I feel like that evil voice inside your head is always kind of in that pitch.'[2]
His rhymes were described frequently as having horrorcore influences.[1][6] His lyrics contain 'references to extreme violence, constant challenges to Christianity and jokes about offering up younger nephews to Michael Jackson for sex.'[1] The mixtape featured guest appearances from Earl Sweatshirt, Mac Miller in his normal voice, ASAP Mob's Da$H and Bill.[7][8][9]
Miller's album sound and lyrics were also likely influenced by his heavy drug use. In his song 'The Jesuits' Miller talks about 'black tar demons'.[10][10] This album came at a time during his career when Miller was heavily involved with drugs.[11]

Composition and production[edit]
The first track 'Larry' 'starts out with slow-pounding keys and the eerie sound of a morning dove,' setting the backdrop for the psychedelic killing spree the track becomes.[6][12] Songs like 'Halo' feature a piano tinged beat that gives a suspenseful twist, 'giving the mixtape a feel that's halfway between Tyler, The Creator's Goblin and Eminem's The Slim Shady LP.[6] 'Vertigo' features an instrumental made of gunfire, murky slow-mo sound and horror-score synth.[13]Earl Sweatshirt appears on 'Bill', where Bruce Smith of HipHopDX said he stole the show.[1] The instrumental of '72' features a xylophone along subtle drums under Miller's sociopathic rhymes.[6] 'The Jesuits' 'revels in clever wordplay and outrageous rapper imagery.'[12] 'Melvin' is a 'graphic tale of a conflicted rising star trying to figure out if the material goods and women really afford happiness.'[6] On 'Grandpa Used to Carry a Flask' Miller raps in his normal voice alongside his alter ego over a somber piano backdrop.'[12]

| HipHopDX | (positive)[1] |
Delusional Thomas was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Jake Rohn of BET stated, 'Regardless of who he is in any given moment, Mac Miller is one of the most lyrically gifted MCs in hip hop. He continues to add something new and different. Delusional Thomas' only drawback is that every song has a similar sound, but for the tatted up rhymer's true fans, it won't matter. This mixtape is not for the squeamish and definitely is not for those that only like Top 40 rap. For everyone else, it's hip hop noir at its finest. With only ten short songs, it's just the right amount of time to keep the listener fully engaged.'[6]
Bruce Smith of HipHopDX deemed the mixtape 'EP-worthy' saying, 'Getting past Mac Miller's bouts of immaturity and voice as 'Delusional Thomas' is a chore and can be trying. But hidden behind those flaws is a good mixtape.'[1] Drew Millard of Vice referred to the mixtape as the best project of Miller's career.[2] Rob Markman of MTV stated, 'the real strength in the Delusional Thomas project is showing all the versatility and diversity that Mac has to offer.'[12]

Stolen Youth is a collaboration mixtape by American rapper Vince Staples and rapper/producer Mac Miller, under his production pseudonym Larry Fisherman. The mixtape was released as a free digital download on June 20, 2013 to mixtape hosting websites. Stolen Youth was entirely produced by Miller. The mixtape features guest appearances from Mac Miller, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Da$H, Hardo, and Staples' Cutthroat Boyz cohort, Joey Fatts.
Background[edit]
Vince Staples met Mac Miller through Earl Sweatshirt, after he had returned from Samoa.[1] In December 2012, Mac Miller announced that he would be producing an Extended Play titled, Tales of a Stolen Youth by rapper Vince Staples.[2] Staples stated Miller originally just gave him a few beats, but that grew into them deciding to release a full project together.[3] On March 19, 2013, Staples revealed that Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Joey Fatts would be featured on the project.[3]
On April 12, 2013, the first single 'Guns & Roses' was released via The FADER. The song features Staples discussing 'sensitive issues as child abuse and gun violence, backed by the choral-sampled' production.[4] On June 6, 2013, Staples revealed the track list to the mixtape.[5] The project would then be shortened to just, Stolen Youth, and would be released on June 20, 2013, just two days after Miller's second studio album Watching Movies with the Sound Off as a 'free album' or mixtape.[6][7][8] The mixtape featured guest appearances from Miller, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Da$h, Hardo, and Staples' Cutthroat Boyz cohort, Joey Fatts.[9][10]
Following its release, Staples toured as a supporting act on every date of Mac Miller's The Space Migration Tour.[11] Following the release of Stolen Youth he made three appearances on Earl Sweatshirt's debut studio album Doris, including the single 'Hive'. The liner notes of the album revealed that Vince Staples had recently signed to Def Jam Recordings. Shortly after the release of Stolen Youth he began working on his fourth mixtape Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2.[12]
On December 5th, 2014 Amazon Music combined and reordered the tracks from Stolen Youth and Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2 and released them as an updated version of Stolen Youth (same name and artwork).[13]

Reception[edit]
Stolen Youth was met with acclaim from music critics. Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX labeled it a 'free album', their highest praise for mixtape, saying 'A breakout moment for both Vince Staples on the emcee front and Mac Miller behind the boards, Stolen Youth is the product of creative ambition and an organic, refreshing chemistry. Determined to make good on Mac’s charitable efforts, Vince spends the project channeling hopeless pessimism that doesn’t manage to distract from his lyrical gift.'[14]XXL called it a 'trippy ride through the witty mind of the LA spitter', and praised the 'dreamy, textured' production.[15] In a positive review, Elijah Watson of Billboard said, ' It's an uncomfortably numb LP: a dispirited Staples reminiscing his past, while ambivalently looking toward his future. [..] Production, handled by Mac Miller as Larry Fisherman, is warm and moody, fitting Staples' bleak outlook well. Black Hippy cohorts Ab-Soul and ScHoolboy Q make appearances, but for the most part Staples is on his own. 'Stolen Youth' is an enjoyably dark listen, with Staples' nightmare-inducing wordplay skillful and engaging.'[16]
