Mac Miller crossing... This gifted rapper is already on its way the widest-acclaimedHometown: Pittsburgh.
Range: Malcolm McCormick (vocals, beats).
Background: It is not all about Tyler, the creator when it comes to hip-hop, especially in the States. In fact, on the cover of their prestigious annual number of first class, features new hottest magazines XXL 11 of rappers and Tyler not one of them. Instead, there is Mill Meek, Kendrick, Government of Yukon, Lil Twist, Yelawolf, Diggy Simmons, Lil B, Big K.R.I.T., Fred the Godson, Cyhi Da Prince... and Mac Miller. We have audited if Tyler was on the cover of last year - non - or before that: still nothing. Perhaps then there is rap U.S. that means something to the traditional European press, and there are artists such as Mac Miller-white, Jewish - who get taken seriously by the hip-hop publications of America breeds. Bizarre.
In any event. Here's Mac Miller, a 19 years of Pittsburgh - Wiz Khalifa territory - which could not niche for long stay. He wants to "appeal to the heads of hip-hop and people who grew up" listening to the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and the Sex Pistols, and he has already made some progress in this ambition to reach the immensity of crossover: his second mixtape, best day everrecently went "gold", having received over 100 000 downloads, and apparently his videos 5 m average affects each and total approximately 20 m. If that translates into actual sales when he released his first proper album due this fall on U.S. indie ForumIt remains to be seen, but it is certainly moving in the right direction, we said, sounding like 1970s, Radio 1 DJ.
But then it is on the right because Miller sounds like a "golden age of MC" - in fact, it is the label that it is given for its laidback and hip-hop based on sampling. He grew up listening to the period classic rap (A tribe called Quest et al.) and now it is this that its 80 years ancestors did before him: take excerpts from lush soul, sometimes creating simple, other times more complex beats out of them and rap on top. His delivery is cool - not the threat languid Snoop, just suspicious. Perhaps because he is Jewish and white, he had the inevitable bugs and despite the odd playful video comparison is not in the same region parody them. Asher Roth, perhaps.
Good tunes, although, with a keen sense of melody. On and are eye-catching, infectious, breezy and light and, although as no news, in a fresh way. It is a summer party anthem, music for barbeques and swap meets that makes us feel nostalgic of a truly American adolescence that us had never. Koolaid and frozen pizza, as much of Miller, is infused with 70s music soundtrack of seduction, which is very well by us, although good evening quiet of 1980s samples the Isley Brothers' storm classic, between the leaves. Everything seems to come from another time, another place, give or take a track as Nike on my feet, that rhyme "bag" with "panels". Live Free is based on the kind of syncopated, jazzy R & B Tyler probably conducted after a hard day Rapper on cop-killing and mutilation. And cruise control, featuring Wiz Khalifa is lovely - we could listen to an entire album of this.
Buzz: It seems to have found the right formula, and now the sky is the limit - volanteonline.com.
The truth: Miller could be lite, but we highly recommend him.
Probably to: COP a feel.
The least likely of: Kill a cop.
What to buy: His first single, UK Knock Knock, was released on June 13.
next to the file: Asher Roth, Wiz Khalifa, Drake, Gucci Mane.
