Mac Miller - Loud


Mac comes at us with his latest release and a little taste of what Macadellic might be. The track produced by the long time companion of Mac, Big Jerm, is a little different feel than we're used to hearing from Mac, but gets the job done. Another dope track from Mac if you ask me.

Mac Miller Speaks On Big L, Shows Off Tribute Tattoo [XXL]

Mac Miller's 'Street Struck' Big L Tattoo

With today being the 13th anniversary of the unforeseeable passing of Harlem rapper Big L, XXL spoke with Mac Miller on Big L's influence on him, his Big L tribute tattoo, and more. Great to see a young guy like Mac shedding some light on one of the greatest. Most of his fans can learn a thing or two from him. Head on over to XXL for the full interview.
"I was 15 years old, around 2007, and the stuff on the radio was cool, but I just remember when I heard Big L, it was just so different than everything I was hearing. That interested me, because no one my age that I knew was listening to him. He was my favorite rapper, and at that time it was like, ‘”This is my favorite rapper, and no one else’s that I know. I was doing all this research. He really inspired me to be clever and witty. My early stages of rapping, I was basically trying to be like Big L—trying to be a super raw MC. That’s what he really inspired in me: to always keep that MC factor about myself and about my music."

Update: The trailer for Mac's 'Missed Calls' tracks is now available under the jump.

Ski Beatz - Time Goes ft. Mac Miller


Before Ski Beatz' 24 Hour Karate School: Twilight album drops on Tuesday (Valentine's Day) here's one more look at the project with this track that features Mac Miller. Such a good look for Mac linking up with this legendary producer.

LE$ - Doing My Thang ft. Mac Miller, Dom Kennedy, & Slim Thug


We haven't really touched on any LE$ material in the past, but this joint was just too smooth to pass up. Bringing back the sounds of the 90s, LE$ recruits Mac Miller for the hook and gets verses from Dom Kennedy and Slim Thug. This is the newest track off his upcoming Menace project.

Mac Miller - Dig That ft. Cam'ron (prod. Big Jerm)


Never would I expect Mac Miller to be on a track with Cam'ron, but it seems to work over this Big Jerm produced beat. In other news from Mac, he's added a few more performances in the next few months as he heads out to a bunch of colleges in the U.S. in what he's calling The Macadelic Tour. Check out his official website to find out if he'll be performing anywhere near you.

Mac Miller - Death Of The Emcee


A little late on this one, but here's the first preview to Mac's upcoming Frat Rap mixtape dropping on Groundhog's Day (2/2/12). As expected from its name, expect features from "frat rappers" like Sammy Adams, Huey Mack, and more. Shouts to Mr. Peter Parker.

Cobra Starship - Middle Finger ft. Mac Miller [Video]


An interesting collaboration to say the least. Mac makes two appearances on the track at the very beginning and towards the end. Could definitely see the radio taking advantage of this track in the next few weeks or so. What's your opinion on these two artists working together?

Mac Miller - Jerry's Record Store


Damn, on this pretty slow Wednesday we're getting some pretty smooth freebies to vibe to. This track that Mac let go of from his Twitter machine was recorded last night and is named after a popular spot in Philadelphia called "Jerry's Record Store".

Mac Miller - Of The Soul [Video]


Glad to see Mac had some time to shoot a new music video between all of the shows, appearances, and interviews he's been busy with as of late. 'Of The Soul' represents the fourth single from Mac's debut album, Blue Slide Park. A little less wild'n out from Mac in this video compared to his previous ones.

Mac Miller Speaks on His 2011 [Video]


The whole album coming out was probably the #1 highlight,” Mac told MTV News of his independently released Blue Slide Park. “I remember putting out the album and being really curious about what critics had to say about it because I felt like I made this album from the heart and it was by far my best work.”


Unfortunately for Mac, the album reviews did not satisfy his expectations. To him, it seemed that the critics just didn’t get it, and he began doubting whether or not he put out the right album. That was until his fans reassured him that he made the right move.


“All people of all different ages everywhere coming up to me and genuinely telling me how much they like the album,” Mac recalled. “That’s definitely the highlight, seeing this music that I’ve created and just seeing how much more powerful people are than publications. That’s who I make music for.

Mac Miller on Debuting #1 on Billboard [Video]


While on his tour bus, Mac chops it up with Sway on MTV's RapFix to discuss the success of his debut album, Blue Slide Park. That makes him the first indie artist to reach that feat since Tha Dogg Pound did so in 1995. Also, despite not reaching the 50k pre-orders, he plans on donating the $50k to the Make-A-Wish Foundation anyway that he had promised for that milestone. Good man.

Statik Selektah - Groupie Love ft. Mac Miller & Josh Xantus


Here goes Statik's Mac Miller -assisted cut from his upcoming Population Control album that's due out this Monday, October 24th. Say what you want about Mac, but being featured on albums from Statik Selektah, 9th Wonder, and working closely with DJ Jazzy Jeff on a project must mean that these legends have some respect for what the young'n is doing.

Mac Miller - Blue Slide Park


With already 25,000 pre-orders for his debut album, Mac Miller decided it was time to let go of the title track from Blue Slide Park. If he is able to reach 50,000 pre-orders, he will donate $50,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and for 100,000 he will drop the album early. Don't forget that he's approaching the 1 million followers milestone on his Twitter machine as well!
