It’s a conversation between a dude and a girl. However, because of this choice she can’t find love.” But in reality she’s just a boss and top of her own shit. “ kind of about a girl who has lived her life not caring about what people say and people have looked at it as bad. It gives you a second to breathe before you enter the last part of the album, which is the part of that you have to be, you gotta be cool enough to appreciate.
“It’s actually an interlude which I actually think works better because the song is so next level that people aren’t ready for it yet. That’s what I’m saying with ‘Blue Slide Park.’It sounds like some new Beastie Boys stuff. What would this song be the soundtrack to? Not worrying about what I say. You’re loitering.’ The title is more from the vibe you get from it. “You know the concept is ‘You’re at the park after dark. It sounds liked some Ramones, Mighty Mighty Bosstones. “‘Up All Night’ is actually the oldest song on the album. It’s just about me and my homies and what we do. It’s in a world where no one believed that I could do this. That’s kind of what my whole thing has been about. We were like, ‘We have to use every single one in this song!’ I was like ‘We have to play this fucking piano because I just bought it.’ When we first started working on the album I got excited, went to Guitar Center and spent like $15,000 on random instruments. “‘Under The Weather’ is like nothing I’ve ever heard before. What do I really have to be? With all the horrible things that happen to people in the world what do I really, really have to be sad about? But that was my one song I was like, ‘Ugh!’ ‘Fuck you!’ I just wanted to be able to say that and it felt so good. “‘Smile Back’ was my one opportunity to say ‘fuck you.’ You know, I am a positive, happy dude. But then out of nowhere, it just smacks you in the head with some trippy and takes you somewhere you wouldn’t think the song would take you.”

I love that song because it embodies the concept of the album which is just fun and full of energy. We took it home and listened to it and I was like ‘This song is way too hard for me to sound this drunk’ so I came back and re-did it. I came in when E was making that beat and right off the jump I was like ‘This is the jam.’ I remember I recorded first pass when I was super drunk, sorry. “‘Frick Park Market’ was one of the last records we did for the album. But when you go home, you just sit there and go ‘holy shit.'” When you’re in this, you don’t think about how crazy it actually is because it’s worth. I travel everywhere and I’ve seen everywhere in the world, places I never thought I’d be able to go. “‘PA Nights’ is one of the deeper tracks on the album. It’s an old school sample so I felt like, that’s old people, it works.” The song’s called ‘Party On Fifth Ave’ but rarely do you see a party in the video. For the video, I told E, ‘we should all be old people.’ We decided to do it more tongue in cheek so we went and hit the costume store and got some gray wigs. It will be the jam.’ So he made it and its actually the next video. That’s corny.’ I was like ‘E, make this beat, please, man. Man, it’d be so dope.’ Everyone was like, ‘That’s one of your corny ideas, man. I was like ‘Yo, we got to flip this and do a new version of this.
It samples something you know that people know. Labs but I had to force them to make this beat. “It’s funny because when I put out ‘Blue Slide Park’ everyone thought it was going to be a song describing Blue Slide Park. I was walking by and was like ‘I got to name a song English Lane.’ It’s kind of like the intro, you’re walking up into Blue Slide Park.” When you go up there’s this little alley way called English Lane. “English Lane” is actually the street that Blue Slide Park is on. Miller tells us which song he used to say “fuck you,” being drunk when first recording “Frick Park Market,” and shares details of his and his team’s extra-curricular activities.
