After partying on Fifth Ave., Mac Miller decided to slow things down for the fourth video from his #1 debut, Blue Slide Park.

With the Ian Wolfson-directed "Of the Soul" clip, Miller simplifies his visual, electing to shoot against a brick wall with BSP-themed art painted on it.

In previous Blue Slide videos like "Frick Park Market," "Smile Back" and "Party on Fifth Ave.," the Pittsburgh rap breakout dressed up in costume, put his acting skills on display and danced, but in his latest, he just sort of stands there — and raps. It's all fitting, of course, when you consider the mellowed-out sound bed that production team I.D. Labs laid on "Of the Soul."

It was early Thursday morning (January 5) when Mac tweeted the YouTube link for the video, which has clocked in more than 65,000 views in about 16 hours. "Don't even know what's in my head anymore, though," the 19-year-old MC starts off spitting, looking into the camera wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt.

There isn't much to it — just Mac, a couple of outfit changes and three dancing beauties who blend a bit of ballet with hip-hop steps. The simplicity only enhances Miller's bars, which ultimately deal with his growth from a regular kid to rap's newest phenom. "Some expect me to be the greatest ever/ Hear me on the radio, sh-- will change forever/ Now I'm just a pop sensation, f--- ya expectations/ I'mma be the best, have some patience/ You thought that it was great then poof/ It was nothin' but some déjà vu," Mac raps to close the somber song.

It may not be Miller's most exciting video, but it may be his most honest.

Can 'Bridesmaids' Go On Without Maid Of Honor Kristen Wiig?

With all the word-of-mouth buzz and award consideration the ladies and gents of "Bridesmaids" have received, it makes sense that there would be talk of a sequel to the $100 million-grossing, bona fide box-office hit. What comes as a surprise, however, is the fact that Universal might consider moving forward with a second movie without its star and co-writer Kristen Wiig.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wiig will neither co-write another "Bridesmaids" nor return to her role as Annie Walker. Wiig hinted that she and co-writer Annie Mumolo have other plans.

"We aren't working on that," Wiig told the Reporter. "Annie and I aren't planning a sequel. We are writing something else."

When MTV News contacted Universal for comment, they said they would ideally like to have the entire cast back for #2. But if an idea for a good sequel arises, Universal may move forward, Wiig or no Wiig.

"We are over the moon with the success of 'Bridesmaids,' and if we do a sequel we want to get it right," a Universal rep told the Reporter. "We are talking to filmmakers now about concepts, and if the right one emerges, we'll move forward."

Producer Judd Apatow also seems up for moving forward with a sequel, but did not comment on whether he would do so without Wiig and Mumolo's involvement.

"The key is we have to come up with an idea that is as good or better than the first one," Apatow said in a statement to the Reporter. "We don't want to do it unless it can be great. I don't think anyone has had the brain space to think about it yet. Hopefully that can begin this year."
