Best known by his stage name, Mac miller, an American rapper who’s born out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is also a record producer under some alias’s like Larry Fisherman, Larry Lovestein, Delusional Thomas, and The Velvet Revival. Early 2010 Mac signed a record deal with Rostrum Records, produced his first album Blue Slide Park, and it went on to debut on the US Billboard chart. It was the first independently distributed debut album to top the chart. Miller's first viral hits featured him rapping excitedly about middle-class comforts over classic instrumentals like "Nikes on My Feet" — currently at more than 36 million YouTube views, it was at the top of the charts for hip hop albums, Some emotions that are evoked from this song are just Mac Miller and his friends having the best shoes and the best clothes. Mac miller’s sound and his flow in his music is a lot like Wiz Khalifa, because all he does is rap about having the best everything. Cars, clothes, money, women, etc. Like when Miller says “..hit the shoe store, going to cop a few more.” This is memorable because when your shoes goes bad, you always have to go to store and get new shoes, or maybe even a couple of them. I disagree with this one critic, Dan Rys, he did a review about Mac Miller, and this other rapper, Lord Finesse because Miller supposedly took the whole soundtrack from Finesse’s song “Hip 2 Da Game” in which Finesse ended up sueing miller for $10 million dollars. I disagree, because in this world today, a lot of music has already been mad and it is hard to be original without getting sued. So that’s just a normal thing to do, remix a song and make it your own style. Mac Miller is worth our money and our time to listen to because you just have to listen to the music and the lyrics to understand how good of a rapper he is.
