Mac Miller: the good little rapper

At 20 years compared to Eminem already, and hip-hop album "Blue Slide Park" topped the charts U.S. and Canada.

musical Education

 
"I always heard music in my house. My parents listened to Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Pink Floyd. My head is John Lennon's tattooed on my arm, I loved the Beatles. At age 10, I started writing songs on my guitar, but I was not a very good singer. This is why I started rapping. I did not go to hip-hop by rebellion, to spite my parents, in fact they have always supported me in this direction. "

 

The beginnings in Pittsburgh

"There are two clubs downtown where I cut my teeth. I have not participated in "battles" as seen in "8 Mile", the movie with Eminem, but at 15 I attended public improv sessions. It was not aggressive. There was no rivalry blacks - whites, the former accusing the latter of stealing their music, because Eminem had already been there, he opened the doors for us. Barriers had jumped. I rap because I like this is my culture and I'm not trying to go for what I am not. "

Sacrifices

"I like living in my bus. I'm on the road for two and a half years. My fans think it's a great life, but what's great is to be on a stage every night. The rest - being away from family and loved ones - it's just the price for this concert which is the daily happiness. I'm 20 and I sacrificed five years all aspects of my private life and that's it, this constant work, which led me to become number one in the charts. I travel around the world with my best friends to make music, I am almost the happiest guys I have a girlfriend for three years. I will not lose your head in the air sex drugs and rock'n'roll. I want to stay as normal as possible. But it is not easy, the temptations are there ... "

The new Eminem? 

It does not bother me to be constantly compared to him. It brings me closer to him because we are white, as I hear Wiz Khalifa because we come from Pittsburgh. We try to put a label. When I have 25 years, one will forget the comparison with Eminem. When I was a kid by the way, I liked the Beastie Boys. I was too young to grasp all the subtleties ... At 16, 17, I realized its importance and its music.
