Mac Miller Interview With The Masked Gorilla Pt 2
Part two of The Masked Gorilla’s exclusive interview with Mac Miller, literally, picks up where part one ended. We speak with Mac about major record labels. Also, Mac finally clears the air about why an Atlantic Records employee was sending out his “Donald Trump” single to radio stations a few months ago. Towards the end of the interview Mac says “I can pretty much pick any label I want to and sign to it”. Bold words from the new school rapper, but yet most likely a reality. The interview ends with the homie Casey Veggies making a guest appearance.
Mac Miller Interview With Muzik Is My Life
My homie Damon over at MuziksMyLife.com just dropped his brand new interview with Mac Miller. If you’ve ever seen any of Damon’s interviews in the past you should know he does an incredible job, this interview is no different.
Mac Miller’s got the “Moves Like Jagger.” Following his sold-out show at The Fillmore Detroit on Saturday (which included a surprise-guest performance by Three 6 Mafia), the Pittsburgh native and I kicked it backstage for a 10-minute interview exactly one month before the release of his independent debut album Blue Slide Park (Nov. 8).
With his Most Dope crewmates gazing at us, I presented the “Donald Trump” rapper with Shel Silverstein’s Falling Up (“This is, like, one of the first books and authors that got me into anything creative.”), Larry Clark’s K.I.D.S. (“I saw this movie when I was probably in eighth grade and it fuckin’ changed my life.”), and the original inspiration for his album cover artwork (“Oh, wow! You are the only—you found this!”).

Mac Miller Breaks Down ‘Frick Park Market’ Video
Making sandwiches while rapping isn’t as simple as you may think, but in his “Frick Park Market” video, Mac Miller makes it all look so easy.
Filmed on location at his favorite Pittsburgh deli, Miller jumped behind the counter and got to work. Before we see Mac, however, we see his filthy-looking, gloveless hands putting together a turkey and cheese sandwich.
“My hands aren’t really that dirty; that’s just the lighting,” Mac insisted when he broke down the video for MTV News.

Mac Miller Talks Being On Maroon 5′s “Moves Like Jagger Remix”
XXL was able to talk with Mac Miller earlier today via email where he talked about how he ended up being on Maroon 5′s “Moves Like Jagger Remix”.
“Maroon 5 is ill, very ill,” Mac told XXL via e-mail, hours before the Copenhagen stop of his European Tour. “["Moves Like Jagger" producer] Benny [Blanco] reached out to get me on the jam, and to be honest, at first I didn’t really believe him. I was like, these dudes could get any rapper they wanted on their jam, why would they want me? However, they were serious. When I was in NY I went to the studio with Benny to do it. We chopped it up for a while, then I just wrote my verses and laid them down. I hadn’t spoken with anybody from Maroon 5 or anything at this point. I actually had the feeling that they going to cut my verses and go with someone else.”
“I don’t know why, the thought of Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera and myself on a jam, I just didn’t think it would fly,” he continued. “But, I saw Adam Levine was following me on Twitter so I hit him up and thanked him for the opportunity and he said that everyone loved it. Shit is ill. I love the jam, the music video to it actually came on when I was writing the verses in the studio. What are the odds? Well, actually pretty high considering it was the No.1 song for a while.”
