Mac Miller's Watching Movies With The Sound Off just turned 10 years old on Sunday (June 18), and fans everywhere are celebrating the album's highlights, impact, and its overall place in the Pittsburgh MC's career. For many, this is the album that truly launched him into the mainstream of rap, with more versatile hits and clear growth from the early phases of his career. What's more is that Mac shared its release date with Kanye West's Yeezus and J. Cole's Born Sinner. Moreover, it was quite the stacked release day, and Watching Movies still holds up against those bodies of work.
Furthermore, the album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (interestingly enough, the aforementioned rap projects were 1 and 2). It sold 102K copies in its first week and, as of writing this article, is certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). On social media platforms like Twitter, fans have been reposting live performances, their favorite tracks (any "Matches fans out there?), and much more about Mac Miller and his 2013 album. With more posthumous releases to come, there will surely be much more Mac to celebrate in the future.
